Al touched on the creepiness of these NBA commercials not too long ago, but this one featuring Kevin Garnett and Lebron James caught my eye for a different reason. It’s that first line: “I remember seeing Bird win it all.” Let’s do the math, shall we? Bird and the Celtics won the NBA Championship in […]

OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a while now — but I’ve always found it interesting when SportsCenter decided to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as […]

This weekend, the wildly anticipated NBA playoffs began. And while there were some great games, for me, the lasting image is half-Kobe-half-Shaq lecturing me on fear. Though the commercials have been around for a while now, they’ve received heavy rotation during the playoffs. I actually thought the commercials were pretty neat, if a bit unsettling. […]

The Blazers drafted Greg Oden with the first overall pick, then Greg Oden suffered a season-ending knee injury. Greg Oden had microfracture surgery, and has just been cleared to participate in light drills. Greg Oden then played in a pick-up basketball game. The Blazers, unsurprisingly, were a bit upset.
Said coach Nate McMillan to the paper, […]

Chris Webber is retiring. And now, the requisite time-out clip. Let’s just get it out of the way.
Yes, Chris Webber’s legacy will forever be tied to the Fab Five — along with cohorts Jimmy King, Ray Jackson, Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose — and that fateful timeout. And although they never technically existed, I still […]

LeBron James is 23 years old. He would have difficulty renting a car (if he were not LeBron James.) He is the Cleveland Cavaliers all-time leading scorer. All-time.
James passed Brad Daugherty as Cleveland’s career scoring leader in the first quarter and finished with 29 points, leading the Cavaliers to a 90-83 win over the Toronto […]

Andrew Bynum, who was really supposed to be back playing by now, is just starting to run on a treadmill. This treadmill workout marks his most strenuous physical activity yet. It also marks the first I’ve heard of a $75,000 treadmill.
The Lakers’ athletic training staff leased the $75,000 treadmill in order to help speed the […]

Hilarious, hilarious impressions. As the Rockets continue to win without any regard for the records of their opponents, it appears that they’re having quite a bit of fun. Here’s a clip from the local FSN affiliate featuring Dikembe Mutombo’s teammates doing their best Dikembe. Not only is the video entertaining, it’s educational. I’ve learned that […]

In semi-related news, my words shape the future. I am a conduit of time-force, or something. You see, last Thursday, when discussing Pat Reilly’s genius plan to avoid having to go to Miami Heat games, I casually joked that Dwyane Wade’s plan was to “just get seriously hurt, like he does every year.” Then, today:
Dwyane […]

While we all were waiting for a certain former Phoenix Sun to run for governor of Alabama (oh, and he never will) another former Phoenix Sun announced he was running for mayor of Sacramento: Kevin Johnson. Also, it appears that this is a completely legitimate campaign. Congratulations, Kevin Johnson, you have Dejuiced’s endorsement.
The 42-year-old Johnson made the […]

The Seattle Supersonics might not be doomed to move to Oklahoma City. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is part of a group attempting to purchase the franchise, with the intention of keeping them in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, the team isn’t technically “for sale.” But as any good Microsoft CEO, Ballmer knows everyone has a […]

Pat Reilly has had enough. He can’t watch this bullshit anymore. He’s going to watch some NCAA ball instead of coaching. Seriously.
Riley said Thursday that “there’s a possibility” he will “miss one or two” upcoming Heat games because he wants to travel to the various NCAA conference tournaments and start seeing players who’ll potentially be […]

Hey, remember this guy?
Of course you do, he’s Chris Andersen, the Birdman. His drug suspension is officially over, and NBA teams are free to sign him. The Hornets have the first shot at him, and are expected to add him to an already entertaining team.
“We were always more concerned with Chris Andersen the person […]

News, scores, highlights from the NBA.
- LeBron James and the Cavaliers took down the Bulls. The game can be summed in the following clip.
Visual aids are fun. Although, I still prefer the flying toasters screensaver, Mike Tirico.
- The Yao-less Rockets won their 15th straight and Dikembe Mutombo demonstrated that he is indeed still in […]

I’m usually all for NBA players making as much money as possible. Really, they are the ones who fans pay to watch. The fans don’t care about team owners.
But when an NBA player has more shoes than I do – then I start to wonder. In this TNT special, Ben Gordon of the Chicago Bulls […]

Now I feel a bit guilty. I fill in for Al with a post about Yao Ming getting dunked on and now I have to break the news that Yao is out for the season. My bad, Yao.
Yao suffered a stress fracture in his foot. I’m guessing feet aren’t really made to prop up […]

Drew Gooden wasted no time creating his first poster as a member of the Chicago Bulls. Playing in his first game after being traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Gooden dunked all over Yao Ming. Watch this YouTube if you have any doubts.
Yao is no stranger to getting dunked on but that was embarrassing […]
