In honor of LeBron announcing his entrance in next year’s dunk contest, I give you the best LBJ dunks. I’m counting down the days and stacking paper to try to get to Dallas already.

Dunk Contest – Video of the Day
Posted: 15th February 2009 by Blake Murphy in Extra Content, NBA BallComments Off
All of the dunks from last night. Enjoy. And yes, Rudy’s second dunk was the most underrated, but top-2 honors go to KryptoNate and Dwight’s side of the backboard monster.

I don’t care, whine about the judging or the apparent ‘setting up’ of the finish (bad judging, the planned out dunk, Nate’s wardrobe change, etc), this dunk was awesome. Screw you BJ (hater), this dunk is insane. The Slam Dunk Contest remains one of the best events of the year, and LeBron in 2010, whaaaaaat! [...]
O'Neal Dealt for Marion and Banks
Posted: 13th February 2009 by Blake Murphy in Blake Murphy, NBA BallComments Off
Remember that trade everyone was talking about two weeks ago, where the Raptors send Jermaine O’Neal to the Heat for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks? Well, it’s now official. The Raptors are also sending out Jamario Moon. It will be super-official after the All-Star Break (league offices are probably closed), and I’m at work, but [...]

On Sunday afternoon I was sitting on my couch rocking my vintage #16 Raptors jersey watching Matt Bonner rain down threes on the Celtics and thinking ‘could life get any better?’ Then it did when I turned on tsn.ca to learn that Bonner has applied for Canadian Citizenship and is planning to represent Canada in [...]

I, for one, am on the ‘this commercial is awesome’ side.
The 2009 Toronto Blue Jay Starting Rotation
Posted: 12th February 2009 by Blake Murphy in Baseball, Blake MurphyComments Off
The other day I may have come off as slightly bitter towards the 2009 version of the Toronto Blue Jays. Let me clarify – I don’t hate the Jays, and I will never stop watching, I just feel that my money is better spent elsewhere this season. My quarrel is not with a bad team [...]
Hoops Addict Article – Durant v. Carmelo
Posted: 12th February 2009 by Blake Murphy in Blake Murphy, NBA Ball, Outside WritingComments Off
Recently, Carmelo Anthony claimed he is the best Small Forward in the West, and nobody else is close. While I will concede, teeth clenched, that he is the best SF out West, I do so with an enormous for now. Kevin Durant is hot on his tails. Check out my breakdown of this battle over [...]
Hoops Addict Article – The Only Rivalry That Matters
Posted: 12th February 2009 by Trev Smith in NCAA Hoops, Outside Writing, Trev SmithComments Off
I probably should have posted this link yesterday. Still, reading it I got the feeling it could have a bigger impact as an after-the-fact thought, since no doubt Trev’s feelings will be the same, regardless of the outcome of this one game. You will also have had time to run the gamut of emotions from [...]
