(PG-13 Language) “See what he did there? He put the orange ball in the red circle, thereby releasing a double point.” Boat Comedy says this is what NBA pre-game talk is like. They’re wrong. This is what the pre-game talk should be like.

The Triple-up Dunk

The Triple-up Dunk

The Lost & Found Dunk

The Lost & Found Dunk

NBA 2014-15 Ring Concepts

NBA 2014-15 Ring Concepts

The NBA hypes up the playoffs by releasing mockups of the 2014-2015 championship ring for each of the 16 playoff teams. The Hawks and Bulls rings are style co-champs. And how depressing is it that the Nets are in while OKC are not?

NY Knicks: 2014-15 Lowlights

NY Knicks: 2014-15 Lowlights

Blake Griffin’s Helicopter Block

Blake Griffin’s Helicopter Block

Here is your moment of Zen. When does a shot fake both work and fail? When the blocker is Blake Griffin. In the Clippers’ latest game against the Celtics, the athletic forward twirled 180º in mid-air to make up for his premature defense.

Basketball Trick Cheats

Basketball Trick Cheats

Dirk Nowitzki’s All-Star Dunk

Dirk Nowitzki’s All-Star Dunk

Sorry Zach LaVine, but Dirk Nowitzki is our dunk champ. Steph Curry didn’t actually know whom he was passing to in this hilarious All-Star Game play, but the 36-year old didn’t disappoint. The last time Dirk had an alley-oop was in 2004.
