Ok, so the Oklahoma City Thunder are in the NBA Finals, and the knee-jerk reaction will be that they are doomed to lose because they’ve never before performed on the big stage like so many of the Celtics and Heat have. We’re here to tell you that knee-jerk reaction argument is fatally flawed. Unbeknownst to many Americans, the Thunder’s dynamic duo of Durant and Westbrook have not only performed, but won, at the highest level on earth. That happened at the 2010 World
While the Brooklyn Nets superstar point guard Deron Williams ponders his move in the off-season as an unrestricted free agent, he has kept himself busy with other business matters. On Wednesday, he took some time to demonstrate a new revolutionary video game called NBA Baller Beats at the E3 conference. (via youtube user Machinima) Williams will be on the cover of the exciting new game. If you are interested in the details such as the release date, you can click here. If
A couple of days ago, we showed you what Metta World Peace has been up to in the off-season. Since then, he has been on a visit to Vancouver for the past couple of days, and was apparently invited to cover the weather report for CTV. The hilarious gem of a performance can be seen below.

This was Game 5 of an even series, a fourth quarter in which the Heat were getting destroyed over and
csprtContainer(); Something you may not have known about the Oklahoma City Thunder: despite their relatively young age, they are about as tightly-knit of a group as there is in the entire NBA. They hang out at each others’ houses. They are as much of a team on the court as hey are of of it. Their core has been together so long, including the most unheralded big player in this series, Nick Collison, that they have been able to summon a collective
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
While LeBron James is fighting to move past the Boston Celtics to reach the NBA Finals, his seven-year-old son LeBron James Jr. is just starting to grasp the concept of full-court basketball action, perhaps following the footsteps of his prodigious father. Humbly for James Jr., he learned what a quick change of direction can do for you, or against you in this case, in what appears to be a recent league game.
