Just got back from the NBA Legends Brunch. It was a massive hall at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center filled with very tall men with nice suits and bad knees.

Those who spoke included David Stern, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Rick Barry, Branford Marsalis, Teresa Weatherspoon, Julius Erving, the family of Pete Maravich, Chris Paul, Gail Goodrich, Karl Malone, Willis Reed, Bill Rus...

Dwight Howard Saves Your Dunk Contest [There Up In Sky] (via Deadspin)

Dirtlocker points for: Gerald Green, Dwight Howard, Jason Kapono, Rashad McCants, Michael Jordan

Finally the right man wins the dunk contest. This is what happens when you don't allow Michael Jordan to be a judge, even if Darryl Dawkins is perhaps his equal in hateration. Howard stole the show in what many are saying was one of the best dunk contests ever, if at leas...

Dwight Howard made a few jokes about his dunk contest preparation.

It was a little funny. But it was not light-hearted.

A year ago, after losing, he was clearly down -- the victim of a misunderstood, and under-appreciated sticker dunk.

So he didn't go crazy. He went corporate. To become Superman, first he spent a year as Clark Kent. He brainstormed. He workshopped. He f...

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Maybe it's because I'm old and crotchety, but I [...]

I walked around a fair amount last night -- the traffic is pretty bad, and while I saw a massive police presence, I did not see any trouble. Haven't heard any stories, or read any articles either. The NBA has to be cautiously optimistic that their approach this weekend is succeeding. Also, one note: the place in the city with more police than anywhere else I have seen is immediately out...

The Daytona 500 is this weekend. That's one of the more important of the Cars Going Around In A Circle contests they have on this planet. We don't understand NASCAR, obviously, but we suspect some of you do, so we've a...

As we mentioned in the developmental league post yesterday, we never really enjoy the NBA All-Star Game, and we're pretty sure you don't either. N...

As a former player (Knick, Nugget, Bullet, Piston, and Bull) and head coach (Raptors and Wizards) New Orleans Hornets assistant coach Darrell Walker has shared the court, as player or coach, with some of the best NBA players in history -- including Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, and Joe Dumars.

Walker has a strong sense of who is, and who is not, a superstar. After working with him day...

Michael Jordan is straight bangin' (via We Are The Postmen)

Dirtlocker points for: Michael Jordan

It's been an incredibly long time since I've purchased a pair of shoes specifically designed to play basketball in — say, around 11 years or so back in middle school — but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the style, the aesthetics, the overall pop of a basketball sneaker. (I play basketball in [...]

Darren Rovell has an hour-long primetime special on CNBC tonight about all things Nike. The good news for Rovell: For the documentary-style production, Rovell got to interview a sunglassed Phil Knight, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tiger Woods, and Charles Barkley. The bad news for Rovell: He spent a considerable amount of time examining Nike's business practices in [...]
