  • Rising Stars Challenge Simply Doesn’t Work

    Kyrie Irving won the MVP of a boring Rising Stars challenge game that became some random schoolyard picking of Shaq vs Chuck, instead of finding some actual common ground for the players as the All-Star weekend doesn’t have much to offer before the Sunday game.

  • When Jeremy Lin Met the Best Team and Player in the NBA

    LeBron James continued his impressive MVP campaign with a rare stat line of 20 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, five steals and two blocks, as the Miami Heat beat the New York Knicks 102-88 to extend their winning streak to 8, while Jeremy Lin got a painful taste of a really good NBA defense, which he and his team aren’t ready to cope with yet.

  • Andrew Bynum Proves Lakers Have More Than Just Kobe Bryant

    Andrew Bynum had another impressive double-double performance, being the best player on a 96-91 win by the Los Angeles Lakers in Dallas against the Slow and old Mavericks, actually enjoying the fact that Shawn Marion completely shut down Kobe Bryant, allowing Pau Gasol and others an opportunity to shine.

  • Dwyane Wade Taking Over for the Miami Heat

    Dwyane Wade wasn’t exactly consistent during the first 5 weeks of the season, but in February, averaging nearly 25 points per game and shooting over 50% from the field, the Miami Heat finally have all of their big three, with LeBron James and Chris Bosh enjoying great seasons, and look like the best team in the NBA.

  • Lakers Keep Going Where Bryant Points and Words Take Them

    Kobe Bryant talking about the Lakers mishandling the Pau Gasol situation seemed to refocus the team as they stormed the Staples Center, leaving no chance for the Portland Trail Blazers in a 103-92 win, that showed everything the Los Angeles Lakers have going for them (Bryant, Bynum-Gasol) and their two major problems at Point Guard and Small Forward.

  • Durant, Ibaka and Thunder Combine For Historic Night

    Kevin Durant scored 51 points, combining with Russell Westbrook for 91, being the first duo to both score over 40 since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in 1996, while Serge Ibaka had a points-rebounds-blocks triple double, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a thrilling 124-118 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets.

  • Tony Parker and the San Antonio Spurs Too Hot Too Soon

    Tony Parker (30 points, 10 assists) has been leading the San Antonio Spurs this season, with their latest 103-100 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers (thank you Chris Paul) with Gary Neal as unlikely hero being their 10th in a row, an NBA best this season, which won’t be enough come the playoffs.

  • Awesome Ways to Distract Free Throw Shooters

    Jack Blankenship, Alabama basketball fan, and his Giant Head prop have become an internet sensation and getting dubbed “SEC Basketball Photo of the Year.” He isn’t the first, or the last basketball fan, trying to get creative while disrupting a free throw shooter.

  • Bulls Don’t Need Rose to Dominate Celtics

    Derrick Rose was MIA for the fourth consecutive game for the Chicago Bulls, but it didn’t stop them from beating the Boston Celtics 89-80, with Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer both leading them team scoring 23 points, while the overrated and too dependent on Rajon Rondo Boston Celtics just didn’t have enough to keep up with a better team.

  • Jeremy Lin Already Has an Infographic

    Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks keep winning, with their 100-85 home win over the Sacramento Kings being their seventh consecutive W. Lin took a step back from scoring, focusing on feeding his teammates, notching up a career high 13 assists as the Knicks finished with 7 players in double figures.
