“Dime Magazine has been too good to me. I love it…It’s an honor for me to be in the magazine.” — Chris Paul
Kyle Korver
Today, Converse and Eastbay have announced the launch of “MyChucks,” a contest where participants design their own Chuck Taylor All Star kicks with the chance to have Converse actually make the shoe and sell it exclusively by Eastbay.
As part of the contest, Kyle Korver submitted his own design, which will be featured online, along […]
Back-to-back plays that sum up one the best games/individual matchups of the playoffs…
Is the face of a flopper?
Apparently the Chris Paul love-fest hasn’t overcome everyone in the hoop universe. You’d be shocked to learn that Spurs fans don’t like him, which it totally understandable.
From Pounding the Rock today (complete with a great post headline by the way):
If flopping is a scourge then Paul is one of the […]

Solid Cavs blog Cavalier Attitude is understandably distressed over the way LeBron & Co. are playing against Boston. CA describes ‘Bron as “befuddled,” correctly pointing out that James is playing into the Celts’ hands by settling for long jumpers over and over and over again.
Another object of Cavalier Attitude’s ire? Anderson Varejao. From […]

If you catch Chris Paul’s kicks tonight, you’ll see the name “Brian” written on them to honor a fallen fan.

No mention though of where he picked up the magic trick that makes other teams consistently leave him wide open for that mid-range jumper that he makes 98% of the time. […]
Dime #22
The article in the L.A. Times today that cites the Dime cover story that Kobe wrote a little while back prompted us to go back and take another look at Bryant’s words. Interesting to see what he had to say a few years ago about how he viewed his relationship with his teammates, the […]

This afternoon the official announcement will be made: after 12 seasons in the League, Kobe Bryant will win his first MVP award.
This morning’s L.A. Times takes a look at Bryant’s long NBA journey to get to this point, covering the highs and lows, the good and the bad (except for Colorado - the […]
Read this story. It was sent to us this morning and looks to be from back in November. If it’s remotely true, it’s pretty funny.
Today’s Deseret News has a big feature on Salt Lake City’s love affair with Kyle Korver that lands somewhere between “amusing” and “super creepy.”
From the story:
On any night in EnergySolutions Arena, there are enough signs to fill the Republican Convention, most of them held aloft by women. Kyle, we love you. Kyle, will you marry […]
Playground hoop season is just about here, so you need to be equipped. Check out the new Nike Sharkley that drops everywhere today. Designed for indoor and outdoor ball, the Sharkley was originally created for Charles Barkley back in the day. But now it’s back as part of the Nike Remix series that puts a […]
They will be handing out these t-shirts tonight in Boston for Game 5 of the Celtics/Hawks series for everyone who enters the building. The goal is to create a “green out” in the stands in Beantown.
