I really love Dikembe Mutombo. From leading a drastically over-matched Nuggets squad to a victory over the BabyDaddy Kemp Sonics to the infamous finger-wagging after every block shot, he’s always been someone you couldn’t help but love.
He’s also philanthropic as hell having started the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation that’s probably saved hundreds of families from starvation...

The Push Rose
loveliftedme:
That’s what Marv Albert and Reggie Miller are calling the unusual shot release Derrick Rose is displaying tonight.
This game is intense. 10.1 seconds left…Bulls are up by 3…Cavs will have the ball after the timeout. CRAZY!!
Mmm, love the playoffs
It’s an unusual shot if only because it looks like he’s throwing a shot put, and still has such a delicate touch. His...

Greatest Rivalries in Modern NBA History →
SB Nation has a definitive piece about the best feuds in NBA history. I wish I had the time to write this, but it’s done extremely well, but we’re all familiar with the feuds. Here’s what they cover:
They start with Quentin Richardson vs. Paul Pierce battle precipitating the mini-brawl the other night. Then they get into classic battles including:
Rodman vs. Malone

The show is features the VH1 standard insanity, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna watch it. Supposedly it pulled in a million viewers for the...

Aaron Brooks named NBA's Most Improved Player →
Via
Rockets guard Aaron Brooks will be named the winner of the NBA Most Improved Player award on Thursday, according to a person with knowledge of the voting.
Brooks will be the first Rockets player to win one of the league’s performance awards since Steve Francis was a co-rookie of the year 10 years ago.
God it seems like forever ago when Stevie Franchise was a legitimate NBA threat. ...

Kevin Garnett's Pointy Elbows
standingroomonly:
We all know Kevin Garnett is a little bit of a bully. Ok, a lotta bit. Ever since I saw him get on all fours and bark like a dog at the Blazers in the Rose Garden I’ve been a little wary of calling myself a KG fan.
Anyway, now he’s been suspended for throwing elbows. But I don’t think he’s the only one to blame here. Check out the clip below and tell me the refs didn’t...

Although it might not seem like it from recent posting, I actually love sports too. Is Lebron going to the Knicks? Will it even matter with the lockout coming?
The NBA lockout as almost as sure a thing as Lebron spraying the front row with talcum powder.

NBA Playoff Preview: Western Conference
LAKERS VS. THUNDER
Kevin “Tarantula” Durant, fresh off the becoming the youngest scoring champion in NBA history takes on the defending champs. You just know ESPN is gonna hype the shit outta this one, and I don’t blame them. Do I think Oklahoma City has any chance? Nope, but it’s gonna be fun to see Durant take his lumps in his first playoff action ever.

NBA Playoff Preview: Eastern Conference
CAVALIERS VS. BULLS
Every announcer/commentator/dude on the street thinks this is going to be a cakewalk for Cleveland. True, Cleveland finished in the number one spot in the East and took a lot of heat for sitting Lebron for the last couple weeks of the season. They did end up losing their last four regular season games.
Meanwhile, Chicago was winning 10 of their last 14 games. ...

NBA "Looking into" Lebron Sitting →
This has to be the dumbest story I’ve seen today. What’s scary is that Team Stern will probably impose a mandatory number of minutes so that bitching sportswriters feel vindicated. If you buy tickets to a late season Cav’s game, either make it a playoff game, or don’t do it. You have to know that Lebron sat out the last game of the season last year. If a team clinches...

Is Doc Rivers ready to leave Celtics? - NBA News -... →
ctt123:
Just 48 years old, Celtics coach Doc Rivers might leave the team after this season to spend more time with his family.
He also has a son playing for Indiana and another son who is one of the top rated high school PG in the country. I’m guessing he’d like to spend some time watching his sons play.

NBA takes away vote so dad can't vote for son
fbihop:
The NBA took away the Rookie of the Year vote of Dell Curry, the father of rookie Stephen Curry, so he could not vote for his son.
The elder Curry is a broadcaster for the Charlotte Bobcats. The younger Curry is a first-year pro with the Golden State Warriors and a favorite to finish in the top-three for the Rookie of the Year award.
Dell Curry will still be able to vote for all other...
