Well the NBA draft is well over and well it was another high talent draft. I look forward to next year even more if you can believe me. First lets start off with the biggest winner in the draft. That would be the New Jersey Nets. Lopez at 10 and Douglas-Roberts in the 40's, are you kidding me.   more...

This may sound like lunacy to most die-hard NBA fans but all I ask is that you hear me out. I believe that whether the Grizzlies are, or are not aware of their personnel moves, they are shaping up to be a "bizarro" version of the Championship Bulls of old. Noooo..... i'm not saying the Grizz just   more...

The Grizzlies are working to acquire the No. 2 overall pick Thursday in the NBA draft, but they aren't willing to sacrifice point guard Mike Conley.The inclination to keep Conley, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2007 draft, was characterized Tuesday by those familiar with the discussions as an   more...

Despite what many so-called experts have reported, the future of the Memphis Grizzlies looks like a bright one. Grizzly brass was routinely dragged through the mud regarding the trade they made to the Lakers because most feel they received "too little" for Gasol. I believe that Memphis believed Pau   more...

Dwight Howard placing a sticker on the backboard during last year's dunk contest was an instant classic. No disrespect to Gerald Green, but Howard got robbed. Howard has worked too hard perfecting his showcase for that to happen again, though. Don't believe me? Too bad. I've got video proof.In   more...

"We gotta check in that cape and see if there's some helium in there." Dwight Howard's Superman routine stole the show at the NBA Slam Dunk contest. Magic Johnson loved it. Kenny Smith loved it. The whole crowd loved it. But it probably wasn't even his best dunk, and technically it wasn't even a   more...

I have put together some videos of the participants in this years 2008 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. I am putting money on Rudy Gay, but Gerald Green has some serious springs. Gerald Green will be defending his crown from last year. So in 2008 it will be Dwight Howard, Gerald Green, Jamario Moon and   more...

When it comes to small forwards, LeBron James is king, with Carmelo Anthony right behind him. He confirmed that he's 6'9 and 260 pounds, yet he's fast and athletic. He had an MVP caliber regular season with 30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.2 APG 1.8 SPG and 1.1 BPG. Unguardable 1-on-1, LeBron is only 23 years   more...

Word on the street is that Iggy is asking for a 5 year, 65 mil deal... Is he serious? After shooting less than 25% in the playoffs? Ok... you have improved each year... you did average 20 ppg, 5 rpg, and 5 apg... and you are only 24 and can jump out of the gym... but com' on... So what you're   more...

What becomes apparent is they have pulled off the earliest mock draft in internet history. Also they have no friends. Jeff took the odd   more...

This game is probably the best thing about the entire weekend. No defense and lots of dunks. The Rookies will take on the second year players on Friday night of All-Star weekend.
