Lost in all of the drama of headbands and truly rotten fans in one of the greatest NBA Finals games in recent history are some of the massively clutch shots knocked down over the final periods of Game 6.

History will remember Ray Allen‘s three, but up until that point, Tony Parker‘s step-back three in LeBron’s face to tie the game up with less than 1:30 to play was about to stand as “The Shot.” He followed that bucket up with a steal on the other end and then a short jumper to out his guys up by two. Take into consideration the moment and what was on the line and you realize how sick this is: Read More »

Four years ago, Danny Green sat on airplanes, shared locker rooms and pulled off ridiculous dance moves with LeBron James. He rode pine while LeBron carried the Cavaliers to the league’s best record. As Cleveland’s second-round pick, not much was expected of the rookie. Read More »

In the aftermath of last night’s INCREDIBLE Game 6, longtime Dime writer Austin Burton tweeted something that made too much sense: “Just because LeBron isn’t the most clutch player in history doesn’t mean he’s not clutch at all. Pretty simple.” Yep, that says it all. Read More »

Watch as Kawhi Leonard detonates a dunk right on Mike Miller‘s face from tonight’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

In typical Leonard fashion, he never even changed his facial expression after lighting up Miller. He’s a proud undergrad at the Tim Duncan School of Behaving Like an Android.

Here’s the dunk: Read More »

With the Miami Heat trailing the San Antonio Spurs 3-2 after five games in the 2013 NBA Finals, one player returns to South Beach with all the pressure squarely on his shoulders: LeBron James.

King James is widely considered — and you’d be a fool to disagree — to be the best basketball player on the planet. His combination of athleticism, strength, height, speed and basketball IQ has never seen before. Read More »

Before last night’s Game 5 in San Antonio, there was talk that Manu Ginobili‘s body had broken down and that he might be considering retirement at the end of this series. Ginobili will be turning 36 later this summer and had one of the worst seasons of his career this year. But he gave us 34 reasons (24 points, 10 assists) last night for why we need to shut up.

If Kevin Harlan was calling this NBA Finals, we would have been hearing that “Danny Green is a FLAMETHROWER!!” for the last two weeks. And with good reason – when have you seen a guy in the zone this long? It’s literally historic.
