Last week we posted this incredible compilation of the Top 10 Dunks on Emeka Okafor. Other than the obvious fact that Emeka has been crammed on tons of times in his career, the main takeaway is that the reason he finds himself on so many highlight reels is because he’s a shot-blocker who challenges drives.

San Antonio Spurs defense is still downright pathetic when playing on the road. Last night, the New Orleans Hornets, who before last night had not broke the 100 point barrier before last night, broke that barrier against the Spurs last night.
Tim Duncan was able to save the Spurs with a great running hook shot last night, but it was not very pretty. The Spurs did a lot of things...

San Antonio was able to secure a win on the road against the New Orleans Hornets, though it was not pretty. The Spurs were able to win because of four key contributors last night that played a huge role in how things played out.
Road wins are never easy, but they should not be this hard for the Spurs to come by. Now that the Spurs have won two road games, hopefully they will be...

The Spurs wouldn’t give the ball to Tim Duncan for the game with 05.2 left on the clock on an inbound play right? I mean, that would never happen with so many other good shooters on the Spurs team –or would it. Cause it did and Duncan sunk New Orleans with a running hook. Unbelievable, after 14 years deep in the league, dude still has it.
