The ‘94 Nuggets. The ‘07 Warriors. The ‘08 Hawks? A monumental playoff upset can do a lot to legitimize a franchise and its star player, which is why Joe Johnson (or Josh Smith) is one game away from putting himself on the mainstream map, just like Baron Davis did last year […]

What Was Mike Woodson Thinking?
Joe Johnson
It’s not like Joe Johnson was guarding Kevin Garnett. After Joe Jeezy picked up his second foul steamrolling through Leon Powe less than eight minutes into the game, Mike Woodson put a seatbelt on him on the bench. Johnson warmed pine for more than nine minutes, and by the time that he came back […]
What’s in the Box?
A personalized gift from RBK
Working at the Dime Factory has its benefits. Today, our good friends at Reebok sent each of the Dime Crew their own personalized versions of the RBK Voyage Mid. If you recognize the shoe it’s because many of Reebok’s athletes are wearing it this season. Everyone in the RBK Family from […]

If the Bucks could do it over, who would they take #1 in the ‘05 Draft?

We absolutely wouldn’t mind watching Phoenix and San Antonio go another seven games with a trip to the ‘08 Finals on the line. Yesterday’s game had all the playoff atmosphere of last year without Tim Donaghy, Horry vs. Nash, Amare/Diaw vs. The League, or Bruce Bowen playing D like Wood Harris in Above […]
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 […]
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 […]
