Last night was 802s Night at the Hornets' New Orleans Arena and Will Ferrell was on hand to handle the player introductions. Pure hilarity.

In the first half of Sunday's matchup between the Heat and Bulls, Dwyane Wade throws up the pass, LeBron catches the oop...and John Lucas becomes a very important footnote in [...]

I peeped this over at KicksOnFire and definitely felt the need to share. "As we've mentioned several times, 2012 will see the Summer Olympics, which will take place in London. We've already told you guys that Jordan Brand will be retroing the Air Jordan 6 'Olympic' and Air Jordan 7 ' Olympic' to commemorate the occasion. They will also be releasing an Air Jordan 6/7 'Gold Medal' Pack, which will both be inspired obviously by gold medals. The Air Jordan 6 sports a white and cream-colored design with gold accents, while the Air Jordan [...]

Throughout the summer and the little bit of fall we've experienced, NBA superstars have done their part to keep the exiled sport in the hearts and minds of the public. [...]

Here's a great, and I mean great, time waster today if you happen to be a fan of the NBA. NBAtradetracker.net is a new site, not even a week old, dedicating itself to breaking down how some of the greatest trades actually came to fruition changing the course of the sport as we know it. For their inaugural post, the team describes how Earvin "Magic" Johnson ended up in Los Angeles, and not Chicago. Without ruining the clip, NBATT weaves through the complicated scenario of draft picks, horrible records, once in [...]

The year was 1988. Gas was 91 cents per gallon. Who Framed Roger Rabbit , Rain Man and Die Hard were commanding box offices. And there were trade talks which would have sent Michael Jordan to the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, you read that right. Before diving into a story so crazy that it almost worked, let's first take a brief look at His Airness' 1987-1988 season. - He had 17 40+ outings that year. The Bulls went 11-6 during those games; 50-32 overall. [...]

Photos from Getty Images The recent success of the Mavericks proves it pays to be competitive in the NBA. The latest NBA champs currently have the second highest payroll in the league at roughly $90 million. Granted, plenty of the franchise's contracts subside on July 1, but they'll still have to re-sign important members like Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea to potentially build their trophy case. Talks of the new collective bargaining agreement and it's proposed "adjusted" salary cap will put the clamps on spending and player movement for more than a few [...]

Words By David D. & Justin Tinsley Thank God Scottie Pippen is an idiot. Thanks to Scottie's stupidity (which was clearly a result of the concussion he suffered at the hands of a gang of midgets ) which led him to call LeBron better than Michael, we've started reminiscing on just how spectacular Jordan's career was. Arguably the most extraordinary parts of his run were the games when somebody was dumb enough to piss in MJ's Corn Flakes, causing him to go completely off on the court. Isiah Thomas, Jeff Van Gundy [...]

Didn't see Game 5? Don't worry, I've got Cliff Notes. - Early in the game, LeBron turned the ball over, tried to do one of those chase down block things and proceeded to get put on a poster . - Chicago's team defense looked more impressive than it had the previous three games. Miami appeared downright baffled at times as they struggled to keep the Bulls' lead to under 10 points in the first half and much of the third quarter. [...]

Poor Joel Anthony. All he wanted to do was be a good teammate and help out on defense. And what does he get for his troubles? Obliterated by Derrick Rose . Previously: Derrick Rose x adiZero Crazy Light: What's In A Number?

Easily my favorite commercial as of late. Could you ask for anything better?

Around the Gotty™ household, we were watching last night's game at the dinner table. In live action, we witnessed... 1. Joakim Noah's attempted rebound which was called a foul. 2. The replay. 3. Noah taking a spot on the bench immediately after and then turning to mouth a few unmentionable words to a fan. I told my wife then that the game's announcers didn't acknowledge Noah's language but, boy oh boy, will the media. And no sooner than the [...]

"If you ain't first, you're last." Long before said manifesto came to define Talladega Nights , my ninth grade history teacher ironically preached the same premise. Second place is never celebrated and playing to win is the only way to approach any obstacle in life, especially sports. The NBA, the one league where an individual megastar can turn the tides of a franchise, has become known equally as much for those who have reached the mountaintop as those who never capped of their career with the label of "champion." The record books [...]

In the spirit of Sunday Throwback and The Bulls being in the Eastern Conference finals. I figured I'd give you an OG nike commercial on one of my favorite pairs of kicks. GO BULLS!! Now... back to the music.

I don't even know where to begin. Record of 2011? This is a must listen. Chicago Bulls 2011, this is our year. Download: Twista - Winning Streak (Chicago Bulls Anthem) feat. Carlos Boozer & Mario Winans [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

Photo: NBA After a shoddy Game 1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat needed a spark. LeBron James went on to lead all scorers with 29 points, but it wasn't before Udonis Haslem gave the alleged favorites a boost in confidence of energy. The stat sheet doesn't record what high-octane plays can do for momentum and Haslem was pretty much the gear and the shift for the team's success when he posterized Keith Bogans. Just pure nastiness. Taking charges are for credit cards. You have to jump [...]

Good Morning.

Miami traveled to Chicago and got smacked in the mouth for their troubles. Game 1 saw the Bulls run past the Heat 103-82. Chicago simply brought too much posse, their bench providing the punch and Taj Gibson leading the pack. We've credited Wade's never-give-up approach on D but...uh...yeah. Sometimes you win, sometimes you get put on a poster. Not for nothing, Bosh did man up like we hoped , leading all scorers with 30 points and even getting a small bit of retribution against Boozer's verbal slights. [...]

Maybe more than any season in recent memory, the 2010-2011 NBA campaign has stood out like Clayton Bigsby at a Klan rally. Two of the more prominent stories centered around the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat, but for completely different reasons. The upstart Bulls did everything the "right way." They were led by a rookie coach, a young point guard who managed to win the hearts of nearly every basketball fan with his timid ferociousness and a team who embraced the concept of "we." However, the South Beach mafia were the exact opposite. From July 9, [...]

Earlier this week, Derrick Rose was named the NBA MVP for the 2010-11 season. Last night, he put on a show worthy of the honor. He dominated the opposing Hawks, dropping a career-high 44 points on and swinging the home Atlanta crowd, which chanted "MVP, MVP" all night for the man from the Windy City. Rose is always a special athlete, a man among boys out there. Game in, game out, he bursts into the lane faster than should be possible, blazing past defenders with the greatest of ease. He nonchalantly [...]
