When you think of guys who’ve come into the NBA straight out of high school, don’t they usually fit into one or two convenient categories? There are the amazing physical specimens who can do pretty much everything on the court — KG, Amare, T-Mac, Kobe, Monta — and there are the […]

Before the Celtics and Suns tipped off last night ,we went over the many reasons why the C’s, despite having locked up the Atlantic, shouldn’t take the game lightly. Turns out there was nothing to worry about, as Kevin Garnett (30 pts) and crew were extra-focused, jumping out to a double-digit […]

The following story appears in Dime #39 (March 2008)…
“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” – Arthur Ashe
“I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.” – Michael Jordan
For Gerald Wallace, the […]

You know LeBron loves the big stage, and despite the sorry state of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden in prime time is still one of the biggest stages in basketball. Was ‘Bron pumped up? Check out the between the legs, off the glass lob he threw to himself during warmups — a dunk […]

Last-Second Antics
Hedo Turkoglu’s fall-away three over Paul Pierce to knock off the Celtics was the latest chapter in the book of ridiculous buzzer-beating walk-offs. Hedo got us thinking … What are some of the best game-winners of recent memory? We’re not going to open the archives for Lew Alcindor’s hook in double OT to give the […]

I’m not a big fan of expansion in pro sports. That sounds funny coming from a guy born and raised in Seattle, who wouldn’t have the Mariners or Seahawks were it not for MLB and NFL expansion in the late-1970s, and who’s favorite NFL team (the Browns) wouldn’t exist if the […]

Of all the teams out there, is it really the Bobcats who have the blueprint on how to beat the Celtics? The first time the teams played, Charlotte didn’t have Gerald Wallace and still had the game in their hands before losing on Ray Allen’s buzzer-beating three. After Charlotte pulled off the NBA’s […]

2001 Draft Do-Over

While there wasn’t too much debate over the #1 pick in previous versions of these do-over drafts (Chris Paul in 2005, LeBron in 2003), the #1 pick for 2001 is a tough call. Washington had the top choice that year, and at the time of the Draft, Michael Jordan’s second comeback wasn’t official […]

Celtics/Raptors looked like an easy Boston win for three quarters, but turned entertaining down the stretch mostly due to T.J. Ford KILLING the C’s backcourt. Ford’s driving layup tied it up with 27 seconds left, and on the next possession, Paul Pierce missed a jumper before the buzzer. (The Celtics didn’t […]

For part of Dime’s NBA Preview in Issue #37 (on newsstands now), I hit up two of the League’s All-Stars — Gilbert Arenas and Carlos Boozer — to have them break down their respective conferences for the ‘07-08 campaign. I got up with Gil soon after he landed in NYC for another preview; […]

Does Ray Felton need to call for backup?

What does Adam Morrison’s season-ending ACL tear mean for the Bobcats? For starters, it means they just lost their most talented scorer off the bench (although Matt Carroll’s still gonna drop buckets this year). Second, it means another piece of that “young talent” puzzle Charlotte had […]

10 Sense: Marvin Williams
Atlanta Hawks fans (yes, they do exist) are still waiting for Marvin Williams to have his breakout season. It seems every offseason they’ve heard of the 6-9 forward tearing it up in the summer leagues, but when the games start to count, he hasn’t had the impact expected of a #2 overall draft pick. And […]

First it was Reggie Miller. Then Penny Hardaway. Then Allan Houston, and Doug Christie and Charles Oakley. Now guess who’s lacing ‘em up again? After some rumblings of a comeback last season, none other than Scottie Pippen. And Pip already has a team lined up, but it’s not in the NBA. No, Scottie is reportedly […]
