The 2008-2009 season has been over for months now and it’s time to move on to the next. This includes the players with their new teams, new trades and even the 2009-2010 NBA rookies. While everyone has been talking about Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio and how weak this draft is compared with other drafts, I couldn’t help but search the top plays for the rookies of last year.

These plays seem to be really nice but not that awesome and I wonder if this year’s rookie class can show us more highlights. Rubio behind the back pass (if he plays)? Blake Griffin dunking over Shaq? That would have to wait because right now here are the top 10 NBA rookie plays of 2009. (more…)

With Shaquille O’neal traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, certain questions may arise like will this be the Cavs year of winning it all? Or how will the Lebron James and Shaq work together? Or is Shaq the Dwight Howard stopper? There are just too many questions right now but for us, the most important one is…What kind of pre-game ritual will they do?

As most of us know, Lebron James started their family picture pose before their home games and interestingly, Shaq created his own pre game pose, which was directed at Lebron’s, where the Phoenix Suns players were like bowling pins and Shaq throwing an imaginary ball at them.

So with these two superstars and “clowns” in one team, I’d like to hear what you think will these two come up with. Let’s hear your suggestions in the comments below.

For inspiration, check out their own pre game ritual: (more…)

Check out this youtube video on Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic. As we all know, the Lakers won it in 5 games in such a dominating way. So all Lakers fans, enjoy this video and relive the moment of your Lakers winning. (more…)

Kobe Bryant may not be the MVP this year but he is in the NBA Finals and he is trying to lead his team to the championship. In the 13 years that Kobe has been in this league, we have seen MVP-like performances and amazing moves that we just can’t get enough of right? He has constantly impressed both fans and haters of the Lakers and his moves are something that a lot of people idolize.

Thanks to the NBA’s youtube channel, they’ve taken all the best plays of Kobe Bryant in the 2009 season and compiled it in one video. So to all Kobe and Los Angeles Lakers fans I’m pretty sure you will love these Kobe highlights: (more…)

In time for the 2009 NBA Finals, rapper Lil Wayne made a song about Kobe Bryant. Claiming to be the greatest on the verse (as can be heard in his song), he really impressed me with his lyrics. I love it when he said “I call him King Bryant now let the crown show.” This is really for the championship and in a way, I believe, is taking a shot at Lebron James that maybe Kobe should be “The King” and not him.

Well, maybe this might start a battle between rappers about them rapping about their favorite player. Jay-Z on Lebron James? Possible. Let’s hear it Jay-Z!

Here’s a youtube clip of Lil Wayne’s “Kobe Bryant” song: (more…)

I’d like to congratulate the Orlando Magic for beating the odds and of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games. I’m sure that they’re celebrating before they plan for their Finals showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve overcome a lot in this playoff and they deserve it. But I’m not sure Hedo Turkoglu will really overcome (more…)

This could be a consolation prize to the Miami Heat’s defeat to the Hawks last night as James Jones hits two consecutive four point plays in a span of 11 seconds. Now, that’s what I call amazing basketball fans. Here’s the video the 4-point plays:

Dikembe Mutombo had his first double double in over a year scoring 10 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in a win over Golden State. Yahoo Sports

Nets All-Star point guard Devin Harris left the game in the third quarter with a sore left shoulder and did not return. – Yahoo Sports

Monta Ellis has played his last game of the season for the Warriors. Jamal Crawford may have played his last game as a Warrior. – Contra Costa Times

Marcus Camby returned to the lineup and grabbed 11 rebounds but failed to score in 22 minutes of action.

Today’s highlights shows why Jason Maxiell is a beast and how Javale McGee shows Maxiell who’s the real beast. TJ Ford brings the circus to town. We also get a tutorial from the Nuggets on how to run the fastbreak. And of course, we welcome Gilbert Arenas back and his one of ten assists in the game against the Pistons.

Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat hits a buzzer beating three pointer after a steal against the Chicago BUlls. Man oh man! This star has been such a great player this year not only for the Heat but for those who drafted and gambled on him after an injury plagued season last year. Look out Chris Paul! Dwayne Wade is just a few steps away from taking your number one fantasy spot. More on that next time but first, here’s the Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls recap and Wade’s buzzer beater.
