Even if you haven’t seen the movie yet, without a doubt you’ve heard Drake’s new track, “Forever,” featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem from the More Than A Game soundtrack. Directed by the legendary Hype Williams, this music video just dropped and will surely rise to the top of the charts. I love LBJ playing online poker in the car to start. What do you think?

Real life hit the NBA once again yesterday, when reports surfaced that a number of Miami Heat employees — most notably Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra — accepted pay cuts up to 20% in an effort to prevent further layoffs in the organization. It’s been public knowledge for years that some NBA teams are in financial trouble (Grizzlies, Bobcats, etc.), but Miami usually wasn’t in that group.

We can put it on TV and see if Michael’s still got it.” Read More »

But while the game won’t come out until October, they dropped something yesterday that will get us ready for the upcoming season - NBA 2K10: Draft Combine. Read More »

I’ll be the first one to tell you that working for Dime is my dream job. How else would I swing an invite to G-Shock’s “Shock the World” event/party at Cipriani’s on Wall Street last night. Not only did I get to check out an exclusive preview of everything G-Shock has in store for the upcoming year - which is awesome - but I also got to see an intimate performance standing 10 feet away from Kanye West.

Although this video is two years old, that doesn’t make it any less amazing…

One of my favorite parts of the NBA Playoffs every year is the new TV spots that the NBA rolls out. This year, they took it to a whole new level as Kanye West is helping fans gear up for the postseason using his hit single “Amazing” as the soundtrack to some of the most incredible playoff performances of the past few years.
