Nightly Noise: Carmelo Anthony lives for these moments

February 19, 2010

Carmelo Anthony has been overshadowed by LeBron James his entire career. Two franchise forwards from the same draft class. Anthony’s development has been slower than LeBron, however he has blossomed into one of the league’s most prolific scorers…still not as prolific as James though, who leads the league at 30.1 points per game. When James [...]

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. [...]

Nightly Noise: Juwan Howard, the ageless wonder

January 4, 2010

It’s a rarity for an NBA player to still be playing at age 36, and it is even more unheard of for these players to make highlight reels on emphatic dunks. Tonight is that night though, and Juwan Howard is that man.

Anthony Morrow isn’t just all about threes…

January 2, 2010

I bet you thought that Golden State’s Anthony Morrow was solely a three-point shooting threat. So did I. Little did I know he has some nasty dunk potential.  Check out this clip, where Morrow uses his quick first step to blow past Brandon Roy and throw it down on Portland’s depleted front line. This clip [...]

Nightly Noise: Thaddeus Young’s two-hand slam

January 1, 2010

Happy New Year! I spent the last day of 2009 as any NBA blogger should: watching basketball on TNT. My favorite play of the night was easily this two-handed fast-break dunk that Thaddeus Young threw down on Rasual Butler. I love the bounce in his step, and the quick elevation – but most of all, [...]

Delonte West dunks on Josh Smith, mayhem ensues

December 30, 2009

There are a few things to love about this clip. Of course, the play itself is brilliant. Delonte West steals the ball, streaks up the court and finishes a highly contested dunk right in Josh Smith’s face. The size discrepancy between the two, paired with Smith’s prolific shot-blocking ability make this play notable.
But that in [...]

Baron Davis’ buzzer-beater downs the Celtics

December 28, 2009

The Boston Celtics had been riding a nine-game road winning streak headed into last night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers only held a 7-13 record at home going into this game, so the Celtics likely weren’t marking this as a game that would cause them much trouble. With the game tied, Boston’s [...]
