Surgery might sideline Chris Paul for up to two months

January 31, 2010

Things had been going well for Chris Paul. He had just been named to the Western Conference All-Star team and had the Hornets rolling, winning four of their last six games. Paul himself had also seemed to have hit a groove as he was having his best month of the season. However, late in their [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire is one of the names most frequently thrown around in trade rumors and speculation these days, and it might be getting under his skin a bit. Here’s what Stoudemire had to say about how the recent trade chatter has affected him (Arizona Republic):
“I feel like the confidence in me is not quite there [...]

Nate Robinson to defend his Slam Dunk contest crown

January 18, 2010

The 2010 Sprite Slam Dunk contestants were announced today, and Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson were surprisingly absent. Jokes aside, it will be an exciting crew this year with four legit dunkers. I was a bit disappointed to read the list of participants for one reason, though. During last year’s competition, LeBron James stated his [...]

January 18, 2010

While all of the chatter around the upcoming NBA All-Star game has been about Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson as of late, we can now divert out attention to more important facets of the game: like what will T-Mac and A.I be wearing at the game. The NBA has unveiled the 2010 NBA All-Star uniforms, [...]

Look out China. Stephon Marbury is bringing his circus act and tattooed scalp to a court near you. Marbury has agreed to play for the Shanxi Club in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). The 32-year old ex-NBA star has been out of action since his brief stint with the Boston Celtics late last season, where [...]

Nightly Noise: Corey Brewer’s miracle shot

January 13, 2010

I’m as stunned to be posting the second Corey Brewer “Nightly Noise” post as you likely are reading it. You may remember Brewer threw down one of the best dunks of this season, but his highlight tonight is beyond amazing. After Houston’s Carl Landry made just one of two free-throws to put the Rockets up [...]

Nightly Noise: Antoine Wright’s full-court shot

January 11, 2010

I know, two Raptors highlights in two days. Well, while they aren’t getting wins, they are (almost) making up for it with some exciting plays. At the end of the first-half of tonight’s game against Indiana, Antoine Wright nailed a legitimate three-quarter-court shot to send the Raptors into the locker room with some positive momentum.

Tiny Trades: Najera and Armstrong on the move

January 11, 2010

We keep hearing rumblings of big names to be dealt before February’s trading deadline, but haven’t seen any action yet. While today didn’t bring any updates of Al Jefferson, Chris Bosh, Tracy McGrady or Antawn Jamison on the move, we did see a couple of minor deals go down.
The most notable trade occured between the [...]

Nightly Noise: Chris Bosh’s power slam on Shelden Williams

January 10, 2010

The absence of Kevin Garnett in the Boston Celtics frontcourt was a welcome one for Chris Bosh. On his way to a 31-point outing, Bosh showed his hatred for basketball rims everywhere with this savage dunk. Shelden Williams will likely be having dreadlock-laden Bosh nightmares tonight. Is it just me, or does the PA announcer [...]
