Kevin Love
The first ever Dundies Awards NBA Social Media Awards took place tonight on NBA TV, hosted by Shaquille O’Neal and Rick Fox. To see all the nominations and the available awards, click here. Kevin Love, who made a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show just last night, was nominated for his “haircut” photo, but fell short against Jeremy Lin’s “couch” photo (which was actually taken by Landry Fields). As you can see by the tweet, Love wasn’t too happy about

by

Before the start of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Jimmy Kimmel’s show aired early to presumably compensate for scheduling purposes on ABC.

There is no basketball game on Friday night, which means you can take some time to read about what’s going on around the league, from LeBron James’ epic performance, David Stern’s thoughts on the draft lottery, Indiana’s next move, and much more. Did you see how many shots LeBron James missed in Game 6? You can see every single one of them in this video. Really, though, was James’ performance on Thursday night the best he has ever put on? Statistically, no.

Bernucca: The top 10 restricted free agents

by

Yesterday, we ran down the top 20 unrestricted free agents. Today, we look at the top 10 restricted free agents, which is a little trickier. By and large, restricted free agents are all on their rookie contract, which provides guaranteed money that can establish the starting point for negotiations. And that’s where it gets tricky. JaVale McGee made $2.46 million this season and has a qualifying offer for $3.49 million next season. Both figures are well below what starting centers receive. But how

Finally. Jeremy Lin’s trademark “Linsanity” is official. Although it was short-lived, the combination of Lin’s success and good health, it was alarmingly trendy at the time.

As much as “Tebowing” caught the NFL by storm, “Linsanity” caught the

Hamilton: Nash, Not Lin, Should Be Knicks’ Offseason Priority

by

NEW YORK — Basketball in the city that never sleeps has been dormant since the Knicks were unceremoniously ousted from the NBA Playoffs at the hands of LeBron James and his Heatles, who are having some unceremonious issues of their own right now. It took only five games for dreams of partying like it was 1999 to result in a rude awakening: The Knicks need more if wins are to ever result the next time they take their talents to South
