Kansas’ Marcus Morris Destroys Pittsburgh State’s Andy Smith
While everyone’s talking about Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry, don’t sleep on Kansas’ Marcus Morris. While his twin brother, Markieff, is also on the squad, he hasn’t done anything like this. Wow. He should send a formal apology to Pittsburgh...
Derrick Rose’s High-Flying Block On Chauncey Billups
While Travis Outlaw’s fully extended tomahawk on Rudy Gay will most likely be the play of the night, this block by Derrick Rose on Chauncey Billups deserves an honorable mention.
Travis Outlaw Makes Rudy’s Tuesday
This is just ridiculous! Both Travis Outlaw and Rudy Gay are two of the best leapers in the L; too bad this time Gay got the business end of Outlaw’s fully extended tomahawk in the second quarter of the Blazers 93-79 win over the Grizzles. Got to love Mike Rice though: “Listen...
Luol Deng’s push for 2010 Most Improved Player
It’s too easy to start rolling out predictions and watch lists two weeks into the season. Unlike football, where two weeks means you’ve only played two games, two weeks of the NBA translates to almost 10 games, a good enough sample for most to gauge how a guy is going...

Daily Fantasy Diagnosis: 11.10
Beast of the Night: Manu Ginobili was absolutely rabid last night, exploding for 36 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, while nailing 6 threes and turning the ball over just once in just 32 minutes of work. He shot 53 percent (8-15) from the field and 88 percent ...

Deron Williams Has No Idea Why The Jazz Are Losing
Deron Williams has never been a man of many words. I’ve know this ever since I used to write for UtahJazz.com. But on the court, his game speaks volumes. Williams is having his best year statistically (21.4 ppg, 10.7 apg, 4.9 rpg, 1 spg) but the Jazz are off to their worst start...

Do the Right Thing: The one Allen Iverson trade that makes sense
Allow me to shed a silver lining of optimism on the Allen Iverson doomsday parade. If it’s true that the Iverson/Memphis relationship is deteriorating fast with no reunion in sight, there is one sensible solution that can take place as soon as A.I. is eligible for a trade in...

Stevie Franchise
Is it possible the West is actually stronger than we all thought? No surprise that the Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs and Blazers have been solid, but not a lot of people expected Houston, Dallas and Phoenix to play so well coming out of the gate … The Suns are arguably the best team...

Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day - 11.09
For the Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day series the trash talk as been somewhat uninspired. With the exception of Ron Artest and Shaq, most NBA players have been holding their tongue during interviews. The Paul-Rondo saga had the makings to be great, but both players refused...
We Reminisce: Larry Bird and Dr. J Fight In Boston
Every day The700Level.com runs a feature called “Today in Philly Sports History.” Today’s feature looks back at this date in 1984 when Dr. J and Larry Bird basically tried to kill each other at the Boston Garden.
The700Level sets the stage:

Sixth Man Watch: A Pair Of Seattle Natives Coming Strong
I admit, I’ve made some awful predictions like saying the Nets would be decent and how Allen Iverson would thrive in Memphis. One person who is keeping my credibility stable is Jamal Crawford. A couple of months ago, I predicted that Jamal would be Sixth Man of the Year. So...
Ballin’ With Manny Pacquiao
If you haven’t been watching HBO’s reality series “24/7 Pacquiao/Cotto,” you’ve been missing out. Chronicling the preparations and back stories of both fighters as they train for their November 14th showdown, the four-episode series has been great. Check...
Richard Jefferson Baptizes Greg Oden
Over the weekend, Richard Jefferson served up one of the meanest dunks of the season so far at the expense of Greg Oden. But it was the Oden and the Blazers who got the last laugh, beating the Spurs 96-84 on Friday.
Allen Iverson Might Retire (It Didn’t Have to Be This Way)
There’s been a ton of drama surrounding Allen Iverson over the past week or so, ranging from issues with his role on the Grizzlies and playing time, to possible problems at home which have led to A.I. taking an “indefinite” leave of absence from the team. And now...
