The NBA will be debuting a new ad campaign this weekend to promote the playoffs. Apparently there will be 20 to 30 new spots in the "Where Amazing Happens" theme featuring OMG moments from the ghost of playoffs past. Here's one of the spots:That's LeBron dunking on Kevin Garnett's azz in Game 4 of last year's Eastern Conference Finals. I think the grainy black and white look is on purpose.The other spots will feature all sorts of playoff moments, both recent and old school. I can only hope they have at least one from that magical Warriors-Mavs series in 2007. Perhaps Baron's offensive foul, er, dunk on Andrei Kirilenko?Thanks much to the folks at the NBA for sharing this sneak peek. And kudos to Goodby Silverstein for the ads. You can catch them on TNT, ESPN, and ABC starting this weekend!

No way to tell
I was talking to my brother yesterday, also a Utah Jazz fan, about Andrei Kirilenko. He seems to think he's the best thing since sliced bread (why do people still use that phrase, I wonder? I don't think sliced bread's all that cool). But I can't figure out what he's basing this on, considering the g...

HS Girl Dunkin' All Over You
Brittney Griner is 6'8 and can dunk the ball like pretty much any 6'8 guy can. If there ever was a girl that could play in the NBA, its certainly her, i say that not because she can dunk but because she's kinda manly. She sounds like a dude and has Kevin Garnett's body, to put it bluntly, but man c...

A lot of good news flowing in Celtics Nation this morning. Amazing what a win over a crappy team can do. I think we’re all still gushing over the play of Leon Powe. But how about KG’s jab in the lockerroom:
“That wouldn’t happen [with me around],” the injured Kevin Garnett barked from the other room. [...]

The NBA MVP race is coming down to the wire. Four NBA superstars, including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Chris Paul, have an opportunity to take home the crown.
