Lately, there has been a lot of controversy about athletes targeting specific classes at the University of North Carolina. Allegedly, these classes included no tests or quizzes, no-show professors and attendance as a large portion of the class grade. While the issue of academic fraud received some attention, and people are calling for it to get more, UNC really is not the problem here. Read More »

We all knew J.P. Tokoto had Vince Carter-like potential coming into his freshman season at Chapel Hill (well, at least in terms of dunking), and the 6-5 wing lived up to it during UNC’s “Late Night with Roy” preseason event. He had a couple of nice slams, but the best was a reverse 360 windmill that caused a few fans on the baseline to have accidents in their pants.

The NBA Draft process is a once in a lifetime experience for those who go through it. While there are many broad similarities between the experiences of players during this process – like hectic travel schedules and grueling pre-draft training – each player takes something different away from the process.

Thanks to our friends at The Mars Reel, here is the senior year mixtape for one of the most ridiculous high school dunkers we’ve ever seen: J.P. Tokoto. The best part about this? He’s going to UNC next year, so the Vince Carter comparisons really make sense. Roy Williams says they’re on the same level athletically. Even our man Shaquille Johnson lost a high school dunk contest to Tokoto. See why. Read More »

They used to call it one of the best draft classes of the last 25 years. Now, it’s looking more and more like Anthony Davis… and then everybody else. Still, on June 28, the 2012 NBA Draft will bring hope, and hopefully new talent to some teams that desperately need it. Read More »

As we do every year, Dime will be holding you down with Mock Drafts, player interviews and diaries (you should check out Dion Waiters‘ draft diary), and we will also be bringing you draft profiles for every potential prospect deemed worthy.
