Brown Bag it, Baby
Blake Griffin has put together several monster dunks during his short NBA career, and this is easily one of my favorites. Griffin, who once infamously tea-bagged Timofey Mozgov when the latter was with the Knicks, nearly repeated history Wednesday. …
This is Cal State San Bernardino forward Kwame Alexander. As you can see in the video, Kwame can jump high and Kwame can jump far. When Kwame jumps high and far, he looks like Superman flying towards the basket. That incredible posterization seen …
What constitutes a dunk? When I first saw this video I was insanely impressed, but I was wondering if it qualifies as a dunk since Blake Griffin didn’t even touch the rim. According to Webster’s dictionary, it does: “A shot in which …
We’ve featured plenty of monster dunks over the years here at LBS, but we’ve had very few where a player actually jumped over someone during a game. Sure we’ve seen it happen during dunk contests, but how often does it happen during …
Blake Griffin’s second quarter dunk on Kris Humphries in Monday’s Clippers-Nets game is what we call a sports win. Griffin, the NBA’s favorite dunker, hammered one home on Kris Humphries, the NBA’s least favorite player. It …
The Heat beat the Bobcats in Charlotte 96-95 thanks to Dwyane Wade’s go-ahead jumper off the glass. It might not have come down to that bucket had a LeBron James dunk off Gerald Henderson’s head counted. James threw down a vicious jam, …
If that headline makes no sense to you, we completely understand. That’s because it is being used to describe a play that I can’t ever really remember seeing. The Miami Heat began their 2011-2012 campaign in a big way on Christmas Day by …
Let’s not get excited. The Clippers may have beaten the Lakers by a considerable margin in an exhibition game on Monday night, but that’s why it was an exhibition game. Okay, you can get a little excited. When Blake Griffin first got the …
We all know the fast break is the best way to beat full-court pressure. The most exciting way to beat full-court pressure is to finish the play on the other end with a dunk. It’s even more exciting when that dunk happens to come in the form …
If you have to lose a game by 33 points, you might as well pick up some style points along the way. Fortunately for VMI, Stan Okoye is an athletic freak. Yes, this is the first time I’ve ever seen him play. After you see the dunk he threw …
The UConn Huskies may have lost Kemba Walker, but having Jeremy Lamb back will keep them in the championship hunt. Lamb is a preseason All-American and one of the most athletic players in the country. He can step up and knock down the three with …
The Plumlee brothers may not appear athletic, but looks can deceive. Youngest brother Marshall Plumlee won a dunk contest last year. This time around, it was the oldest of the three Duke brothers who had the fun. We’ve already shown you some of …
Remember all that worrying I did yesterday about Kobe Bryant’s foot/ankle? If Tuesday night was any indication, you can forget about it. Kobe’s okay. The Lakers beat the Hornets, 106-90, and now hold a 3-2 advantage in the series. More …
Tyreke Evans dunked so hard on Gary Neal of the Spurs even he had to smile about it. His teammates were loving it, Tyreke had a sly grin, and the play-by-play announcer nailed it when he said “we’ll see you on every highlight reel in …
Rodney Stuckey went straight Space Jam on Chris Bosh in the fourth quarter of Detroit’s loss to Miami Wednesday night. Much like JaVale McGee who had the block of the year in a loss on Tuesday night, it didn’t matter that the Pistons fell …
The Miami Heat’s mini run of blowing teams out of the water came to and end Wednesday night when they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. The loss proved the Heat still have plenty to work on, but that didn’t stop Dwyane Wade from …
