It’s Official: Allen Iverson and Sixers agree to Deal
It’s official: A.I. is a 76er once again. This morning, Sixers President and General Manager Ed Stefanski announced that the franchise and Iverson have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, with Stefanski saying, “In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will...
Who’s Better: Gerald Wallace or Josh Smith?
We argue. You decide.
GERALD WALLACE (by Austin Burton)
It bugs me when we get into these kind of arguments and somebody responds with, “(Player X), and it’s not even close.” That’s the dumbest thing you could say.
This isn’t Tennessee vs. UNC-Asheville. When comparing...
Blazers get the Bease-ness
You saw it coming almost right away. Three minutes into Heat/Blazers, Greg Oden picked up his second foul — a questionable call where he got tangled up with Jermaine O’Neal and both seemed equally at fault — and had to sit down. So with LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) already...
Clip Of The Day: Deron Williams Crosses Up Will Bynum
Will Bynum has one of the nastiest crossovers in the game today. We’ve been seeing the Chicago playground legend cross people up ever since he was a freshman at Arizona. Back on Nov. 21 in a game in Utah, Bynum gets a little taste of his own medicine as Deron Williams puts him on skates [...]
Breaking News: Sixers Offer Allen Iverson A Contract
The AP is reporting that the Sixers offered Allen Iverson a one-year, non-guaranteed contract today. A source close to the situation told the Associated Press - although no formal announcement has been made. The two sides met yesterday in Dallas to discuss the possible move.

Utah is one player away from a ‘chip … and they’ll get him in 2010
Even with Carlos Boozer’s contract coming off the books, the Jazz don’t have a lot of cap room in 2010. For that reason, nobody is really talking about Utah as a major player in the Summer of LeBron (and D-Wade, Bosh Joe Johnson, etc.).
But even without that cap room, the...
Program of the Decade: Michigan State vs North Carolina
Tonight the Big Ten/ACC Challenge presents a rematch of the 2009 National Championship between University of North Carolina and Michigan State. Interestingly this is the 2nd time this decade that the Big Ten/ACC challenge has offered a title rematch (in 2006 UNC faced off against...
Nobody Is Talking About Carl Landry
The truth is if Carl Landry hadn’t got shot earlier this year, most people wouldn’t know who he was. But the Rockets’ blue collar worker is quietly putting up some big time stats (15.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 56 percent from the field) this season. Landry is part of that young...
Marion Jones headed to the WNBA
If anyone can relate to Tiger Woods right now, it’s Marion Jones. The five-time Olympic medal sprinter and long jumper was once in the good girl/golden child class of American athletes — then suddenly found her personal life being picked apart thanks to close ties to steroid...
Mark Wahlberg & Will Ferrell Film Courtside At The Garden
There’s nothing like living in New York. Case in point: On Sunday, November 22nd when the Knicks played the Celtics, Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell filmed scenes for their upcoming movie “The Other Guys.” Sitting courtisde along with co-stars Rosie Perez and Brooke...
Top 5 Under The Radar College Players Out West
Here are five guys who are balling with the best of the West, but you probably couldn’t pick them out of a lineup.
Klay Thompson, Washington State (Sophomore)
It’s interesting that one of the Pac-10’s best players and current NCAA leading scorers is not publicized more. I guess...
Where Are They Now: Scoonie Penn
Before Evan Turner, Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr. were Buckeyes, Scoonie Penn was the big man on campus at Ohio State (’98-00). Standing an inch or two short of six-feet, the stocky point guard was like Chauncey Billups the way he could pick apart defenders with his strength...
Jrue Holiday Embarasses Fellow Rookie Rodrigue Beaubois
The Sixers’ ship is sinking fast and it’s still unclear whether or when Allen Iverson will come in and rescue the franchise’s playoff hopes. After last night’s 104-102 loss to the Mavs, Philly has now lost seven straight games. The one bright spot of the game...
Pound-for-pound crown: Allen Iverson vs. Jason Kidd
Legend is a term that shouldn’t be thrown around loosely, something we lose track of on every level of basketball these days. Raymond Lewis and Earl The Pearl? Playground legends. Go Get It and The Pharmacist? No. It’s not a knock on the latter two, but they’re just...
Statistically Speaking
When comparing NBA players, fans always show bias. We all have players we hold above all others and will argue why they are better than another player or deserve an All Star bid more until we are blue in the face. We are often blinded by the player himself and use his past accomplishments as [...]
Amar’e Stoudemire’s ‘Ink, Not Mink’ Photo Shoot
While our friends at Ball Don’t Lie put you on yesterday to Amar’e Stoudemire’s new ad for PETA’s “Ink, Not Mink” campaign, check out some behind-the-scenes footage from his photo shoot and why animals are important to him.
Daily Fantasy Diagnosis: 12.1
Beast of the Night: Jason Kidd found his shot last night and went off for 22 points, 5 treys, 6 boards, 11 dimes, 4 steals and 3 blocks. He shot 50 percent (8-16) from the field, 50 percent (1-2) from the line and turned the ball over twice. This was his best offensive output of [...]
MVP Watch: Dirk Nowitzki Has Been A Cold Blooded Killer
It seems that the Dallas Mavericks have been a team on the decline ever since their shocking first round loss to the Golden State Warriors in 2007. Coming into this season, people were looking at this team as a sixth seed at best. Now that we are almost 20 games into the season, the 12-5 [...]
Dahntay Jones Bangs One On Monta Ellis
Even though Monta Ellis went off for 45 points and got the W, Dahntay Jones was able to sneak in a highlight.
Taking the Kidds to school
Whatever was said between Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia front-office brass when the two sides met in Dallas yesterday, A.I.’s case for joining his old team was no doubt strengthened by what happened when the Philly players ran into the Mavericks that same night. Starting...
Clip Of The Day: Lost At A Knicks Game
Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. For their latest mission, this took them to Madison Square Garden where “Agent Lathan” pretended to get lost during a Knicks game. Throughout the second half he kept appearing further and further away from...
Allen Iverson Is A Step Closer To Returning To Philly
Ever since, Allen Iverson and the Grizzlies parted ways a few days ago, the rumors of his next destination have been running wild. First it was the Knicks, then it was the Celtics, then he was going to retire, now the talk is going back to the place where it all started for Iverson...
Clip Of The Day: Max Hall’s Got No Love For The Utah Utes
Because David Stern is fining players every time they open their mouths, trash talking in the NBA has been pretty much non-existant this season. In order to make up for the lack of good sound bytes in the League, we turn to the most unlikely source for trash talk: Bringham Young University...
Carlos Boozer Is Making Jazz Fans Forgive And Forget
We’ve talked numerous times in the past about the love-hate relationship between Utah Jazz fans and Carlos Boozer. After being on their bad sides for the past year or so, Booz is slowly charming his way back into their hearts. The Jazz have rebounded from a slow start and have...
Nike Air Max LeBron VII - Christmas
These Christmas edition Nike Air Max LeBron VII’s have the Dime office in the holiday spirit extra early this year! Keep your eyes on your favorite sneaker shop because these will be a quickstrike release, but I’m sure you can catch LeBron rocking them against Kobe and...
