Seeing as David Stern and the NBA prefer putting superstar-led teams on ESPN and TNT, and AT&T U-Verse doesn’t have NBA TV available for po’ folk like me, I don’t get to watch Javale McGee’s crazy ass play as much as I’d like to. So I have to depend on Twitter and the great Denver bloggers and writers that I follow to fill me in on the crazy things he says or does each week. It also helps that McGee has his own Twitter account, and his Goofus ways inspire a new meme practically every other week (see above).But every once in a while, McGee stops sipping the crazy juice long enough to show a flash of brilliance that could be put in the shoe box of evidence that he uses to proclaim his status as one of the best centers in the NBA. Well, at least he’s paid like he believes that.Last night was one of those brilliant moments, as McGee was on the receiving end of a ¾-court pass from Andre Miller for an alley-oop jam. Of course, the Nuggets lost to the Brooklyn Nets, 119-108, but it’s s...

LeBron James becomes is playing otherworldly basketball. King James scored 30 points and shoot 60 percent in six consecutive games.
In Tuesday's shootout win over the Portland Trail Blazers, James scored 30 points (11-of-15 shooting and 7-of-8 from the line) with a three, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals and two blocks in 39 minutes. It's just not fair. And poor...

And yes at this point the haters of King James (which I was one) certainly have to bow down at this point. He’s better than Durant and [...]

Joe Ray It’s no secret that JaVale McGee is an athletic freak and a dunking machine. The Denver Nuggets’ mercurial center is always good for a few good highlights per year, and this would be one of them.
Point guard Andre Miller serves up a three-quarters lob to McGee, perfectly in range for the jam. Safe to say the Nuggets caught Brooklyn sleeping on this play.
Kudos to...

With the way LeBron James has been performing this season, he’s about to walk away with his fourth MVP award of his career (second consecutive). The Miami Heat have 33 games remaining on their regular season schedule, and unless something drastic happens, you can put LeBron’s name on that trophy.

Some plays are impressive, while others are just flat out ridiculous. Check out Denver Nuggets JaVale McGee as he throws down a 3/4 court pass from teammate Andre Miller. As impressive as this play was, the Brooklyn Nets went on to beat Denver 119-108.

Yesterday NBA TV was running an NBA Slam Dunk Contest marathon, which is pretty much porn for a sports degenerate like myself. They showed the 1988 MJ vs Dominique dunk contest directly after the 2000 Vinansity dunk contest. I have no doubt that these are the best two dunk contests ever. In 1988 Michael Jordan vs Dominique Wilkins was the most epic back and forth battle in slam dunk...
