In early November, I made the same drive Kobe and LeBron once did, following I-10 west from the city. Olajuwon has generally kept a low profile these past years, and his name is rarely mentioned anymore. The reference points are fewer. After all, we see echoes of Magic, Michael and La...
used by Kobe Bryant in the NBA Finals in 2008 and Tim Duncan before that. Like Young's pull-up, Paul said he remembers Chauncey Billups doing the rip-through some 20 years ago.
He obviously didn’t want to tell me but did say you can expect a cameo by Wiggins. I’m betting you can also expect to see his trademark reverse between the legs dunk and also see him make most if not all of his dunks on the first try! I asked if he was going to pull out...
I was going to go in there and dunk it, and then quick foul, probably. And I saw Manu all of a sudden in the lane. I thought he was going to let me go and dunk it, maybe. But he jumped up with me. I tried to go as hard as I could. Kind of laid it up. Lucky bounce....
McLemore was happy, though perhaps a little naive about how quickly things can change in the NBA and what it would take to thrive. After practices, McLemore worked on trick dunks; he participated in the dunk contest at All-Star Weekend in 2014. ...
Aaron Gordon scored perfect 50s on his first five dunks at the 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, giving him a total of eight all-time, the most in NBA dunk contest history. However, Gordon lost the 2020 contest in a judged dunk-off, which many NBA fans blamed on judge Dwyane Wade, a forme...
Bock is currently dating Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love, whose profile rose dramatically as a result of playing alongside — and winning a championship with — LeBron James. He scores on a near-nightly basis during the season, but his biggest slam dunk to date might be dating Kate Bock...
Bills Mafia has their eyes on the out-of-town scoreboard, as it's still unclear who they will match up against for the Wild Card Round game next week, but first thing's first, the Bills have to win today to ensure themselves the AFC East title. ...
Trailing, 95-71, with the Celtics putting on a dunk show, the Lakers staged an improbable rally, cutting it to 104-102, but getting no closer. “I kept telling the team, we played as poorly as we could possibly play for 2 1/2 quarters in the middle of the third quarter,” said ...
True confession. Kobe Bryant is my favorite player in the NBA. And that’s why the truth is so hard to face. He’s not nearly as good as that 94 rating, which makes him a more devastating weapon than Kevin Durant (92).2K12finally dropped Kobe’s dunk rating to a 74...
