February 17, 2010

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls have agreed in principle to a deal that will make John Salmons a Milwaukee Buck by the end of the week.

Cavs acquire Antawn Jamison in three-team deal

February 17, 2010

Since LeBron James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have been in search of a perfect sidekick. Despite always being a threat in the East, Larry Hughes, Luke Jackson and Wally Szczerbiak could never provide the ideal complement to James’ game. The additions of Mo Williams and Shaquille O’Neal have bolstered James’ supporting cast, [...]

All-Star Saturday falls flat, Slam Dunk Contest disappoints

February 13, 2010

All-Star Saturday is usually one of my favorite days of the NBA season. It’s a time where individual players can shine, and the best at their respective skills (ball-handling, shooting, dunking, etc.) can set themselves apart from their peers. Today, however, was the most lackluster All-Star Saturday in recent memory. I was impressed with Steve [...]

Let the All-Star festivities begin

February 12, 2010

Tonight kicks off what always seems to be one of my favorite weekends of the year. It’s a weekend full of old friends, friendly wagers, Kentucky Fried Chicken, booze and mass quantities of videogame battles. While you may think this sounds like the stereotypical romantic St. Valentine’s Day weekend, I’m actually referring to our traditional [...]

Missin’ the SuperSonics

February 9, 2010

The Oklahoma City Thunder are already surpassing everyone’s expectations, as they are currently in the 7th spot in the West. Kevin Durant is one of the leagues top scorers and is having a season worthy of placing him within the MVP conversation. But how quickly we forget, this team is only two years removed from [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
