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.

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, [...]

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.
We’ve always had a soft spot for modern-day-philosopher/know-it-all, Chuck Klosterman. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s one of the few writers willing to treat insane proclamations about Led Zeppelin and Kiss as serious journalism, but we digress.
His latest piece appears in today’s New York Times and focuses on my beloved Celtics and the intangible, but undeniable, ways [...]
Yes, I realize this happened on Saturday, but we just launched the blog today so sue me. Dwight Howard’s performance in the dunk contest was otherworldly. Whether it counts as a dunk or not (did his THROWING it through the hoop make it somehow better than a dunk?), we’ve never seen anything like this. It’s [...]
