Pau Gasol receives NBA Community Assist Award

by

NEW YORK – Los Angeles Lakers forward-center Pau Gasol is the recipient of the first-ever seasonlong Kia Community Assist Award in recognition of his outstanding efforts in the community and his ongoing philanthropic and charitable work, the NBA announced Monday. Kia and the NBA are honoring Gasol in part for his ongoing support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The pre-medical-student-turned-NBA-star has been a hospital champion for the past several years. In addition to frequent visits with patients, Gasol facilitated a new partnership this year between the hospital and Grifols,

Should LeBron James have passed the ball to Udonis Haslem?

by

Fair or unfair, we judge LeBron James on what he does in the final seconds of fourth quarters. He passed the ball instead of shooting it at the end of the 2012 All-Star game, he failed on a spectacular scale against the Dallas Mavericks in the fourth quarters of the 2011 NBA Finals, and his three MVP awards sit on a shelf alongside zero championship rings. So when the end of the fourth quarter arrived Sunday night in Game 4 of

D’Angelo: Heat’s stars fail in the end as Celtics even series 2-2

by

BOSTON — When LeBron James and Chris Bosh decided to join Dwyane Wade two years ago, the thought was the South Beach Trio one day would snatch the torch from the original Big Three of the modern era, Boston’s Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. And on Sunday night, James and Wade each had an opportunity to start the final countdown to a new championship era, and each fell short, breathing life into a team that was counted out just

Tweet of the Night: Tom Haberstroh

Wade (a 29% 3-pt shooter) called the final attempt a "50/50 shot." I guess "29/71 shot" doesn't have the same ring to it

By 71, I’m assuming he’s referring to how open it was. Wade should have made that shot, pure and simple. He was given a ton of space, had time, and was in perfect position. The Heat are just not good with the final shots, and it needs to be made known. I’m not talking about how much they “choke” every time, because every one knows that. I mean, they are just pitiful. Nobody wants the shot, and when it

Ibaka’s perfect game key to Thunder’s Game 4 win over Spurs

by

Well, if that wasn’t a perfect game, I don’t know what is. And it wasn’t just Serge Ibaka going 11-for-11 from the field. It was Kevin Durant scoring 18 of his 36 points for the Thunder down the stretch, it was the Thunder looking wiser than their years by answering every San Antonio basket in the fourth quarter with one of their own, it was Oklahoma City’s bigs exposing a gaping hole in the Spurs’ defensive capabilities down low. It was a

Bernucca: Conspiracy theories, truth and money

by

commissioner

There was a lot of talk about conspiracy theories this week. Seven years ago, the New Orleans Hornets’ outdated arena was underwater following Hurricane Katrina. They played two seasons in Oklahoma City, then returned to a city whose population had been dissipated and disenfranchised. Already one of the NBA’s smaller markets, they struggled to rebuild a consistent fan base. Their owner put the team up for sale, and the idea of relocation became a very real possibility. So the NBA gave New

SH Blog: Serge Ibaka throws down hammer cuff dunk on Tim Duncan

by

Remember how Tim Duncan turned back the clock in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals and served a facial dunk on Serge Ibaka? Well, Ibaka decided a little payback was in order, and did more or less the same dunk against Duncan in Game 4, with a little more flair as he cuffed the ball before throwing it down: (via youtube user 1jzo) The shot-blocking artist was more than just a defender in this game, shooting a flawless 11-of-11 from the field
