Clippers backup guard Eric Bledsoe stands at 6’1″, but his freakish athleticism allows him to play like he is much bigger than he actually is. That was the case on Wednesday night when Heat guard Dwyane Wade went up for a slam dunk in the second quarter, only to be emphatically denied by the smaller Bledsoe. The block is especially impressive when you consider the number of times Wade has dunked over much bigger opponents throughout his career. The momentum-altering play left
Los Angeles Clippers guard Jamal Crawford received some serious national attention on Wednesday night when he pulled a bunch of his signature crossover moves against the Miami Heat on ESPN, specifically on poor old Ray Allen, who could do little to contain the crafty ball handler.

Is the Black Mamba a close friend of Mark Zuckerberg or something? Bryant refuses to join Twitter, but never fails to share an important message with his fans on Facebook, which doesn’t help any of us trying to set him up with a “Tweet of the Night.” We will go ahead and pretend his messages are tweets, though, for the sake of our posts. All the key players on the Lakers already have stated their endorsement of the coaching change that
The Los Angeles Lakers fans and everyone else along the way were absolutely shocked very early on Monday morning, when Mike Bresnahan of Los Angeles Times reported that Mike D’Antoni – not Phil Jackson – would become the next head coach of Kobe Bryant and company.
