To say that our dude KG is an emotional player is obviously an understatement. When Craig Sager grabbed him right after the final buzzer, the most he could out of KG for the first minute or so was that the game was a “God damn bar fight!” And it went from there: Read More »
What’s not to like about award shows? There are red-carpet mishaps, awkward jokes, and plenty of opportunities to gamble. Award shows are always entertaining, but they are even better when they are about sports. Unfortunately, now that the ESPYs have passed, we have to wait another 350+ days for the next sports-exclusive award show. But we at Dime are impatient. Read More »
Welcome to the 2011 NBA Draft Awards – an awards ceremony where we celebrate the obscene, the awkward and the term “wingspan.” Unlike the red carpet, we encourage the peculiar and admire the hideous. You wear a green suit, you probably get an award. You hug David Stern for more than four seconds, you probably get an award. You make fun of what Craig Sager’s wearing or his unnecessary question about how you’re feeling now that you just got drafted, you bet your ass you get an award. Much like the Oscars, this award defines your legacy – separating the boys from the Hall of Famers.
So without further ado, your 2011 NBA Draft Awards: Read More »
I’m sure you’ll be reading and seeing a lot about Shaquille O’Neal over the next few days, but it’s time to take it back for a minute to the moment it all started: June 24, 1992. I wonder if Craig Sager even remembers this…
At this point, you’ve heard it all about Chris Bosh. Miami only has “two great players.” Should’ve signed Amar’e. He melts in the clutch. He’s soft. The fake tough guy. The Bosh-trich. Over the last year, we’ve all heard the dude get killed (and if you’re like us, maybe you did just a little bit of the killing), but the time has come. Give credit where it’s due. Chris Bosh was incredible in Game 3 (34 points), leading the Miami Heat to a 96-85 W over the Bulls. Read More »
It was put perfectly in Smack: In the post-game interview Ron-Ron did his usual hilarious stream-of-consciousness thing, and before signing off, Artest told Craig Sager, “Say Queensbridge.” Sager awkwardly did it. Next game-winner, Ron is gonna tell Sager to grab his d*** if he loves hip-hop.
According to Twitter, about 7 hours ago I was on the bus to the Rookie/Sophomore practice. And I knew then, as I know now, that today was going to be a BUSY day! Not only is it making it to all the events, and battling the countless numbers of journalists and reporters from all around the world, but it’s getting a few minutes to talk with guys that you really want to talk to. And this morning, I was able to do just that. Read More »
After telling him to get the heck away from the Laker bench and calling him ‘Bozo the Clown,’ Craig Sager‘s only response to Phil Jackson was, “Buttercream?”
After a wacked-out diatribe with Craig Sager in which he said that Brandon Roy is better than Kobe or LeBron, Ron Artest returned from Planet Crazy to help the Rockets sink the Blazers at home yesterday. And in doing so, he spent some time in the stands. “I was like, I’m going to sit down and enjoy this,” said Artest. “He’s not throwing [the beer] at me.
