We Reminisce: The Original Jeremy Lin
The Knicks’ Jeremy Lin has spurred incredible highlights, sustained enthusiasm from the world’s toughest fans and created a cottage industry of awful puns of his last name. But don’t pretend he’s the first to burst on a hoops scene like this. The second-year guard’s jaw-dropping five-game run is, instead, the perfect time to remember another [...]

The 10-Day Contract Life: How Portland’s Chris Johnson Survived A Midseason Call-Up
The fourth time Chris Johnson arrived in Portland as a professional, he should have been able to take a deep breath and relax. The game should have slowed down for him.

Blake Griffin’s Weekend Dunk on the Charlotte Bobcats
This clip is from Saturday night, and we apologize if you’ve seen it already, but it’s worth a look. In the dunk-fest that was the Clippers pummeling of a heartless Bobcats team, one of Blake Griffin‘s many highlights was this one-handed smash down a wide-open lane. We love the long, no-look, behind-the-back bounce pass from [...]

Kobe Hits Another Game-Winner; Rajon Rondo Does The Unthinkable
He might’ve made just four of his last 25 “clutch” shots and he might’ve shot the Lakers out of two or three games this season – most recently in Philly last week – and he might’ve missed six of his previous seven shots on this afternoon, but it wasn’t a surprise that Kobe was gonna [...]

Jeremy Lin Overshadows Two Incredible Performances; Dirk Nowitzki Might Be in Big Trouble
And the Jeremy Lin magic rolls on. The Force is so strong with this guy that even when he doesn’t necessarily play all that well (as was the case last night), his team still wins and somehow overcomes the force of nature that is Kevin Love in the process … Lin led the Knicks to [...]

Rajon Rondo Goes For Round 2 With the City of Boston
Last year, Rajon Rondo and Red Bull teamed up in a big way to give back to the City of Boston by creating Boston’s Got Wings. For every steal Rondo recorded (153 in only 68 games), $500 was donated to the Boston Parks and Recreation Department to refurbish basketball courts throughout the city, netting the [...]

The Jeremy Lin Show
Even the biggest Jeremy Lin fans couldn’t have expected this. Beating up on a few bad teams was crazy enough. But the Lakers – with one of the better defenses in the league – in MSG on national TV? That’s big time. How good is he? Follow Sean on Twitter at @SEANesweeney. Follow Dime on [...]

Jeremy Lin Outplays Kobe Bryant; Chris Paul Hits A Game-Winner
Hopefully Kobe knows who Jeremy Lin is now. After spending time between the Lakers’ win in Boston and last night’s 92-85 loss in NYC doing his best to try to say he had no clue who the NBA’s newest sensation was, Bryant got one-upped by the man who has now scored more points in his [...]

Changing The Game: Freedom Bluetooth Wireless Headphones
Having trouble finding headphones that actually work in the gym? And by work, I mean they don’t fall, don’t blow out if they get sweaty and don’t cause a nuisance with their wires hanging down your torso? If you’re like me in this – not only can I NOT work out without music, but I [...]

Channing Frye Posterizes Samuel Dalembert
As we wrote in Smack, Channing Frye surprised everyone last night with what was probably the best dunk of his career. But no one got caught slipping more than Samuel Dalembert. The best part of this though is the aftermath when Big Sam is so flabbergasted that you can see him in the background cheesing [...]

Buy Low, Sell High: Fantasy Basketball Week 7
Buy Low: Derrick Rose has produced just 10 points, five rebounds, six assists and one steal in his last two games. His back is aching him, which is part of the reason why he only played a total of about 33 minutes in those two games. Clearly, Rose’s fantasy value has taken a hit with [...]

The 10 Biggest NBA All-Star Snubs
The reserves for this month’s NBA All-Star Game in Orlando were announced last night, and while I don’t agree with all of them, I DEFINITELY am not feeling Kenny and Chuck‘s reasoning. Listen, the All-Star selection process is fundamentally flawed as it is. Inevitably it comes down to what you deem worthy – is it [...]

Russell Westbrook Dunks From Just Inside The Free Throw Line
It took me about two minutes of game time last night to realize OKC was in for a fight. The Kings obviously knew they were playing on national TV, and the energy in that building made it seem like it was April of 2002. But Russell Westbrook brings that energy every night, and on this [...]

Pau Gasol & The Lakers Win A Classic Rivalry; Sacramento Pulls Off A Major Upset
It’s a misnomer to call Thursday’s picks for the rest of the All-Star squads “reserves” considering their place as some of the world’s best ballers, but we learned who filled out the All-Star rosters last night on TNT. Some experts weren’t thrilled by all the picks, which opens up the annual conversation: Do fans want [...]

Isaiah Thomas Shows He’s Anything But Irrelevant
Sacramento rookie point guard Isaiah Thomas doesn’t believe in the title of “Mr. Irrelevant” for being the No. 60, and final, pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Instead, “Mr. Irrelevant” is the title of a documentary that has followed him from his junior year at Washington through now with the Kings. Created by filmmaker T.J. [...]

Kyrie Irving Uses Pepsi MAX To Become The NBA’s Best Rookie
Kyrie Irving is good enough to be the best rookie in the league, and good enough to make the cover of magazines (this mag in particular). How does he do it? With workouts centered around Pepsi MAX. Irving’s personality/marketability is a little bit unknown at this point, being a rookie and all. Could he be [...]

Jeremy Lin Crosses John Wall and Gets His First NBA Dunk
Another night in the NBA, another great performance from the Knicks’ Jeremy Lin. He led New York to another win, this time over the miserable Washington Wizards, going for 23 and 10 assists.
