Brandon Bass With the Biggest Dunk of His Career
Without too much to be playing for as the 7th spot is clinched for the Boston Celtics, they didn’t put in their biggest effort to try and beat the Brooklyn Nets, which are a better team anyway to begin with.

Cleveland Cavaliers, the Biggest Losers in the NBA
For the second time this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have let a lead that on paper and according to every NBA history book should leave them with a win, instead to somehow blow it in the final minutes of the game. Less than a month ago it was against the Miami Heat that they kicked the bucket, two nights ago it was even worse, against the Indiana Pacers.

College Basketball – Final Rankings of the 2013 Season
Making the final rankings of the 2012-2013 college basketball season is rather easy than making a top 25 during the season itself, as Louisville made it quite simple by beating Michigan in the NCAA Tournament final, claiming their third national championship, leading a group of four teams from the Big East in the final standings.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Doesn’t Have Anything Left to Give
The way things are going now, the Los Angeles Lakers will get into the playoffs thanks to Kobe Bryant simply feeding into something deep within him to play the entire 48 minutes, which nearly wasn’t enough against a team in semi-tank mode, losing nine consecutive games and playing four rookies in the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Clippers – Chris Paul & Blake Griffin Take Them Further Than Ever Before
It seems that with each win, the Los Angeles Clippers set another record or milestone in the underachieving franchise’s history, having to thank the ping pong ball that brought Blake Griffin to the team, followed by the trade that allowed the even more important Chris Paul to arrive, making them feel, for the first time ever, that anything less than a conference semifinal in the NBA playoffs will be a huge disappointment.

Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Leads a Team More Resilient Than Ever
There are quite a few differences to the 2013 version of the Denver Nuggets that make them likely to do better than in recent seasons, one of them being the arrival of Andre Iguodala, doing pretty much anything that’s required of him on both ends of the floor.

Only Michael Jordan Can Beat What Kobe Bryant is Doing This Season
You don’t have to like Kobe Bryant as a person or as a player to appreciate his incredible 2012-2013 NBA season, which is extremely special considering it’s his 17th NBA season, while playing more than all but four other players around the league.

Metta World Peace is Too Sexy For His Cat Interview
Maybe Metta World Peace is a huge fan of Right Said Fred, humming ‘I’m too sexy’ all the time while he was coming back from the injury. Or maybe he’s just as weird as his history of actions lead us to believe he is, adding an extremely weird interview after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets, repeating ‘I’m too sexy from my cat’ at about every question directed at him.

Jermaine O’Neal With the Weirdest Goaltending Decision Ever
Most goaltending calls we see in the NBA are pretty much the same – a player slightly misjudging the trajectory of the shot, making the block a tad too late. Jermaine O’Neal decided he wanted to make his one quite special, while also doing it in the most crucial of moments, knocking a shot while it was bouncing off the rim to give the Houston Rockets a last-second victory thanks to his intervention.
