Is Jennings the next Derrick Rose?

The ‘07-08 NCAA freshman class was one of the deepest and most talented groups we’ve seen in a while. But with at least a dozen players from that group having already declared for this year’s NBA Draft — most notably Michael Beasley, Eric Gordon, O.J. Mayo, Kevin Love […]

What if Greg Oden stayed at OSU?

Watching Ohio State punch its ticket to the NIT championship game last night, it reminded me that the last time any of us saw Greg Oden play in a game that counted, it was when he led the Buckeyes into the ‘07 NCAA ‘chip against Florida (who, coincidentally, OSU almost ended […]

Suns/Celtics had just as much pre-game buzz and the same playoff atmosphere as Suns/Lakers did the other day, except this one wasn’t as run-and-gun. The Suns jumped on Boston early to build a big halftime lead, and although the C’s kept things more at their pace (neither team cracked 90) and made […]

Full Circle

Has it really been FIFTEEN years since Chris Webber put on that Warriors cap on draft night (after he was traded for Penny Hardaway)? Our younger readers will one day learn that once you get into your 20s it seems every other day something makes you feel old, and of all the stuff […]

Giant Defense
Nowhere to go (Photo. Monte Isom)
Who had the better defense on Sunday: Giants or Patriots? Neither. We’re going with the Pistons. In one of only two NBA games on the Super Bowl Sunday slate, Detroit put Dirk and the Mavs on lock-down, holding them to a season-low 67 points and Dirk to a pathetic 3-for-18 […]

Super Sooner Star
Blake Griffin
That Blake Griffin would become a star at the University of Oklahoma seems preordained. The 6-9, 240-pound freshman power forward was born and raised in Oklahoma City. He won four state high school ‘chips at Oklahoma Christian School. And his older brother, Taylor Griffin, is a junior on the OU squad.
On top of all […]
Eric Gordon’s NBA Projections

After watching Indiana’s Eric Gordon destroy Michigan last night, we hit up DraftExpress.com this morning to see what they had to say about him in terms of playing at the next level.
We actually think they shoot a little low in terms of his expectations, when they say that best case scenario for […]

Welcome to Hell

Overheard in the Dime office Monday afternoon: “I’m going to watch the Kings game and try to figure out why Kevin Martin is good.” That was the plan. Too bad Andrei Kirilenko got involved. K-Mart II did score 21 on the night, but his team got mollywhopped in Salt Lake City. Even with […]

All-American Thursday Night
Jadakiss with Jeffrey Jordan
A couple days before the Jordan Brand All-American Classic, we got to hang with the best of the high school Class of ‘07 for Media Day, the the JBAAC three-point contest, dunk contest and celebrity game … At any Media Day, it’s always interesting to see who draws the biggest crowd of […]

The Nate Robinson Rule
The All-Star Weekend dunk contest participants were announced yesterday: Gerald Green, Dwight Howard, Tyrus Thomas and defending champ Nate Robinson. Through our various “inside sources” we’d already known about Nate, G-Money and Dwight for a while, but when one of the Dime crew found out Tyrus was the fourth guy yesterday, not even kidding, he […]
