Did Derrick Rose's Shoes Cause His Knee Injury?
Today, Chicago froths at a Nike shoe designer, Jason Petrie, who tweeted on Saturday that Derrick Rose should have signed with Nike, like LeBron did. LeBron, wrote Petrie, was only getting stronger, while Rose, thanks to his high-top adiZero Rose 2.5's, was toast, with a torn ACL....
Manu Ginobili Tries To Dunk From One Step Inside Foul Line, Fails Miserably
He did manage to successfully complete two other dunks during yesterday's win over the Jazz, but neither was as much fun to watch as this. [The Basketball Jones]...
Early This Morning Delonte West Tweeted A Picture Of His Vomit-Soiled Clothes From The Bathroom
Delonte West was sick last night, but still managed to play 27 minutes and score five points on two of five shooting. Then he presumably went home a puked all over the place, took a picture and exclaimed "I think that's the last of it....I feel like my soul just tried to get out my body...gotd#mn!!...
Hello, Friends! A Young Jim Nantz In A Hot Tub With John Stockton And The Utah Jazz
According to the information provided by the YouTube uploader, this interview occurred prior to Utah's decisive Game 5 win over the Houston Rockets in the 1985 NBA Playoffs. It's times like this when it's fun to reflect back to quiet dignity with which Nantz read promo after promo for Lizard Towin...
LeBron James Has Ushered In The NBA Playoffs Flop Era
While debate continues to rage in regard to whether Tyson Chandler's screen on LeBron James today really accounted for a flagrant foul, there's no doubt that LeBron augmented the impact with his own brand of thespianism. The incident set Jeff Van Gundy off on another rant about flopping, and is a ...
Here's Something You Don't See Every Day: Adam Schefter Reports Derrick Rose Is Out For The Year With A Torn ACL
Moments ago, Adam Schefter just interrupted ESPN's wall-to-wall coverage of the NFL Draft and announced that Rose will miss the rest of the playoffs with a torn ACL following that awkward play in the final minutes of Chicago's game today....
Derrick Rose Injured In Final Minutes Of Game 1 Win Over Philadelphia 76ers
For some reason, Derrick Rose was on the court for the Chicago Bulls with a 12-point lead and a little more than a minute left in the series opener against the Sixers. Driving to the basket, he planted awkwardly and almost immediately fell out of midair in pain. Chicago would go on to win the batt...
The Most Unwanted Tickets Of The NBA Season Were In New Orleans
Now that the NBA's regular season is over, it's time to wrap-up our analysis of NBA tickets that had the least demand. Once again, we turned to Will Flaherty, the director of communications for SeatGeek, the online ticket search engine that compiles data from hundreds of resellers. This time, Flahe...
Rajon Rondo, Magnificent Weirdo, Makes Every Tip-Off A Show
Thank you, anonymous YouTube user and presumed Celtics fan (Update: This guy!) who a) noticed that Rajon Rondo adds a stylish little tweak when he corrals the opening tip of every game, and b) put together a video compilation of some of this season's best. It's the showmanship of the pre-game rout...
Miami Heat Fan Refuses To High-Five Phoenix Suns Gorilla, Punches Him In The Face Instead
These are proving to be dangerous times for NBA mascots. Two weeks ago, Moondog of the Cleveland Cavaliers briefly went to the hospital after getting clocked in the eye by the Pacers' David West. And this week, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla found himself on the receiving end of some unwanted physical vio...
Was This Former Saints Electrician The Source For ESPN's Wiretapping Story?
FOX8 in New Orleans claims to have identified ESPN's source for the Mickey Loomis wiretapping story, and if they're right, it wasn't anyone intimately connected with football operations. Instead, FOX8 (a station owned by Saints owner Tom Benson) claims it was Tim Landry, a sound and electrical worke...
Latrell Sprewell Figurine Bought At Antique Store Packaged With Unintentionally Funny Warning Label
A reader named Bryan sent us this photo of a Latrell Sprewell figurine, which we've juxtaposed for you above to highlight the warning label on the bottom right corner of the package. Bryan tells us he recently spent $9 on the mini Spree at an antique store "because of how awesome it is. If only PJ C...
Kobe Bryant Makes Himself Disappear
This happened during the telecast of the Lakers' game at the Warriors last week, but it was just brought to our attention. It's pretty much your standard scene shot of Kobe walking earnestly through the hallway at Oracle Arena, readying himself for ... poof....
Suns Fans Celebrate The Career Of Steve Nash With A Giant Drawing Of A Penis
Steve Nash becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and since the Suns didn't qualify for the playoffs, his offseason essentially started last night. Suns fans came out to lament his departure (or beg him to stay) including at least one who decided the occasion called for a display of a g...
Kevin Garnett's Injury Can't Keep Him From Videobombing Reporters
Kevin Garnett officially missed last night's game against the Heat with a hip flexor, an injury that shouldn't keep him out for much longer. Miami chose to rest its Big Three, while Boston also sat Rajon Rondo, Mickael Pietrus, and Greg Stiemsma. What you see above is pretty much the game's best hi...
The Nets Can't Wait To Get The Hell Out Of New Jersey
These days, NBA teams evidently unveil hashtags before their new logos. Either way, nice touch on the Jay-Z reference and only six more days until the move to Brooklyn becomes official....
Jason Bay Is Bad At Defense And Also At Not Hurting Himself
Jason Bay has never been known for his glove (or hasn't he?), and in recent years he hasn't been known for his bat. So maybe that's why he gave 110 percent last night in trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of Gregor Blanco. A valiant effort, and a ton of glove on the ball, but all Bay has t...
Tony Allen's Fake Pass Was Some Harlem Globetrotter-Type Ish
Tony Allen grabbed a Grizzlies franchise record eight steals in a win over Cleveland last night, but outstanding defensive play is boring. We prefer Tony the Showman, faking out absolutely no one with a slick whiff on the full-court pass. Yeah, he might have kicked the ball for the steal, and yeah...
This Drunk Lady Keeled Over In The Aisle During A Mavs Game
Friday night. Dallas. Spotlights beam down on a meaningless game, the playoff-bound (but underwhelming) Mavs against the tanking Golden State Warriors. The game is a spectacle. A party, really. For this lady. Reader and amateur videographer Baron tells us that the lass dances ("inappropriately str...
