Baron Davis is really the best. I mean, between the beard, hipster glasses, his enormous knee brace, and one of the greatest dunks of all time, how could you not cheer for the guy? The only way we could love him more is if he grew a jheri curl and started rocking James Worthy goggles [...]
Yes, the Boston fans were really chanting “NO MEANS NO!” every time Kobe caught the ball. No, it did not refer to their sweltering defense. Yikes.
Anyhoo, in celebration of banner number 17 (I’ll never get tired of hearing that), the guys over at Bodega created this limited-edition t-shirt.

Adam Yauch/MCA/Nathaniel Hornblower/Cochise is currently promoting his streetball documentary, “Gunnin’ For That Number 1 Spot” and will be stopping by Current TV’s L.A. studios to answer any and all viewer questions. Ask him anything. A-na-thang-a. Ask him what his favorite underwear is. Ask him if he thinks Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams is as weird [...]
Before the NBA ad team had to spend an hour squeezing Bird and Magic back into their jerseys, but dammit, it was worth it. Also, does anyone else think that Larry Bird now looks like an actual bird? Discuss.
This picture just about says it all doesn’t it? I mean, I have to admit that I didn’t think the Cs could pull it off but tonight’s 98-88 win has me believing that they might not only win the whole thing but could potentially pull it off in less than seven games. Honestly, before tonight, [...]
Featuring past and future Arizona Wildcats, Jerryd Bayless and Brandon Jennings, this movie looks like streetball at its best and features a new Beastie Boys track as well as Jay-Z and Nas on the soundtrack.

Directed by Adam Yauch (of the Beastie Boys), Gunnin’ follows eight of the country’s hottest high school basketball players [...]
So Spike Lee is set to direct a documentary about Michael Jordan according to Variety and hopes to bring it to Cannes next year. From the report:
Jordan docu will include extensive unseen footage shot by NBA cameras during the final two years in Jordan’s career, the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. Lee and Jordan previously collaborated on [...]
I think I speak for all Celtics fans when I say, “Pheeeew” as I wipe sweat from my brow. After the loss on Friday night, it had gotten way past the point of ‘okay, this isn’t funny anymore.’ The series shouldn’t have gotten this far but all Boston fans should be thankful that Josh Smith, [...]
How about some links to help ease you into the weekend?
Bill Simmons hands out his NBA playoff awards. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m guessing there’s at least one Vegas story involving his buddies Jack-O, House, Corky, J-Bug, Turtle and at least one comparison of Rasheed Wallace to Billy Zabka
Check out the new poster for the [...]
Since this is the last year that the numbered Jordan’s will be available, we thought we’d post this for you. The newest Jordan commercial, debuting during the first round of the NBA playoffs gives us goosebumps like we’re twelve years old again. Enjoy.
When you’re from Tucson, cheering for Lute Olson and the Arizona Wildcats is part of your identity. And, to be frank, the last few years have resulted in an identity crisis. We haven’t been to a Final Four since 2001, the Pac 10 has slipped from our perpetual dominance and then-your-coach-leaves-unexpectedly-and-files-for-divorce-from-his-wife-and-holds-the-program-hostage-and-names-a-guy-who-probably-wasn’t-ready-to-step-in-under-those-circumstances-and-the-team-barely-squeeks-into-the-tournament-only-to-get-bounced-in-the-first-round moments don’t make you [...]
The New York Times has a great breakdown, forgive the pun, of how Frank Gehry’s Atlantic Yards project has lost its once promising footing. Jay-Z’s arena for the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets is about all that remains for the development. Critics are skeptical if this is enough to revitalize Brooklyn, leery of the fact [...]
If you, like most of us, have ever wondered what it’s like to eat breakfast with Michael Beasley’s mom, look no further.
Nah Right has the Spring Break jam of ‘08 from Outkast. Yes, people STILL pick Spring Break jams (and by people, I mean Me).
Finally, this video from hilario comedian Jon Glaser has inspired [...]
