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 [...]

Nightly Noise: Antoine Wright’s full-court shot

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

January 10, 2010

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.

T.J. Ford on his recent descent out of the Pacers’ regular rotation (from Pacers Insider):
“I still don’t know, I’m still in limbo. Do I plan on talking to him about it? No, not really. What’s done is what’s done. I’m here. If they decide to (trade me) it’s not because of me, it’s because they [...]

Nightly Noise: DeRozan dunks

December 19, 2009

This was the start of a long, long night for Nets fans. Watch as Hedo Turkoglu find a slashing DeMar DeRozan for a demoralizing and-1 stuff on Brook Lopez. It was plays like these that made the Raptors look like stage props in a highlight reel, especially in the first half. Going into intermission, the [...]
