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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

NBA releases All-Star ballot update

December 31, 2009

The NBA released its latest All-Star votes status update today, which should continue to fuel the debate on whether fans should have a full say on who the All-Star starters are. All had seemed right in the last All-Star update, as Steve Nash was paired alongside Kobe Bryant as the top vote-getters for Western Conference [...]

Tracy McGrady could be an All-Star starter…this year

December 10, 2009

As of 2008, the population of China surpassed 1.3 billion. Their sheer numbers along with their passion for Yao Ming (unarguably a national icon) has made Yao a starter in every All-Star game since he joined the NBA. Even as a rookie he was named the West’s starting center over Shaquille O’Neal, who was in [...]

Shaq breaks it down with the Jabberwockies

February 15, 2009

This is precisely why we should all do our best to vote Shaquille O’Neal into the All-Star game for every year until he retires. Before the introduction of the All-Star starters, O’Neal came out as the centerpiece of the Jabberwockies dance crew with the trademark white mask on. Despite the mask being comically small for [...]

As you can see from my predictions post yesterday, I only successfully picked one event, so the the All-Star events were full of surprises to me. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the [...]

NBA Noise Hair Watch: Iverson ditches the cornrows

February 14, 2009

Looks like more and more players are taking the route of Carmelo Anthony and ditching the cornrows in favor of a clean-cut look.
Other players have also seen this recent change, such as Rip Hamilton and Ronny Turiaf. However, the Iverson cut is rather substantial as he has been highly influential in setting the compass [...]
