Last week, a blog post on the site that went up after Gerald Green was cut by the Rockets drew a strong reaction from our readers, most of whom think that Green’s in this spot because he didn’t go to college to refine his skills. Apparently though, a rep for having a poor work ethic […]

The Last of Gerald Green?
Gerald last year at the Boston sneaker spot Bodega
In today’s Smack, we explored the Rockets’ release of Gerald Green in favor of somebody named Mike Harris. Things don’t seem to be able to get much worse for Gerald - he never really cracked the rotation in Boston, he was included in the Kevin Garnett trade […]

Down to the Wire

If we know our readers, last night’s late League action got no burn on your TV. We’re going to guess that most of you were watching (and then mourning) the series finale of The Wire. Luckily the game of the day was the afternoon showdown between the Suns and the Spurs. Are these […]

The next Larry Nance? (Photo. Mannion)
Every year the NBA rolls out its roster of All-Star Weekend dunk contest participants, and every year people complain because Kobe, LeBron, Vince and other big-name superstars aren’t included. I used to be part of that crowd myself, until I accepted that we’re most likely never going to get a […]

Questions for the Doc? Need advice? Hit me up in the comments section.
Mark Blount - Shaq owners should always considering handcuffing and with Zo done for the season, Mark Blount will most likely get extended playing time and at some point will probably start if and when Shaq gets injured. […]

RBK Family Reunion
Boom Dizzle with the rally towel.
With the NBA still in its offseason and Major League Baseball approaching the playoffs (GO YANKEES!), it was only right that part of Reebok’s Family Reunion, held at their Boston headquarters a couple days ago, was an NBA vs. Media softball game, featuring Allen Iverson, Baron Davis, Gerald Green, Shaun […]

Soft Ballers
A.I. at the plate
Very cool day for the whole Dime crew yesterday. For starters, some of us went up to Boston for the RBK Family Reunion, where Allen Iverson, Baron Davis, Gerald Green, Shaun Livingston and Marvin Williams were among the ballplayers who took the diamond in a NBA vs. media softball game. And if […]

Ricky’s gonna get his. Now who’s with him?
We were watching NBA TV yesterday when all of a sudden they broke into a “special presentation” and went out to a press conference set-up in Minnesota. Since we hadn’t heard any T’wolves-related news at that point, we had no idea what was about to happen — at […]

They’ll Take 5
He’s out like…
It still didn’t feel real until maybe 15 minutes into the press conference. Watching not only Kevin Garnett sitting in front of a Boston Celtics (and Dunkin Donuts) backdrop, but also seeing him flanked by Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, an emotional Danny Ainge and a too-giddy-to-function Doc Rivers was an odd and […]

“Is it done?”
“Is it official?”
That was all you heard around the Dime office yesterday — not to mention all the calls and e-mails we got asking the same questions — and you know what “it” is: the Kevin Garnett-to-Boston trade. Over the weekend, word leaked that the Celtics and Timberwolves had resumed KG […]

Dear Summer, 7.6.07

Seeing as I’m the only person in the Dime office who’s more into college ball than the NBA, I’m also the one most interested in the NBA summer leagues. After all, since some of the best college ballers often get overlooked or picked too low in the draft (as you can see here), […]

Tanks, Greg
For at least two NBA teams, the (maybe it happened/maybe it didn’t) tank-job of 2007 will pay off, as both Kevin Durant and Greg Oden are now in the NBA Draft. News came down yesterday that Oden is leaving Ohio State along with fellow freshmen Mike Conley and Daequan Cook. Understandable call by Conley, who […]

Saturday Night Live
The defending NBA champs made their presence known on All-Star Saturday night: Dwyane Wade repeated as Skills Challenge champ, Jason Kapono won the Three-Point Shootout, and Shaq was ever-visible in his self-described “banana hat.” … But of course, the talk of the night is always the Slam Dunk Contest, which went to Gerald Green, the […]

‘07 Dunk Contest Preview
Dwight is trying to be the next Nance
Hard to fathom it was a whole 10 years ago when a teenaged Kobe Bryant won the NBA’s All-Star Weekend dunk contest – the last contest before a two-year hiatus that ended with Vince Carter’s unforgettable performance in 2000. The dunk contest has been hot and cold over […]
