Another addition to Clippers forward Blake Griffin’s hilarious “Slam Dunk Poetry” series features him explaining why tearaway pants are so important to his game. Again, Blake is a man of many talents and humor is definitely one of them.

Dunk of the Day

Rockets center Dwight Howard makes everything look so easy, it’s hard to remember that this a 6’10, 280-pound man getting this high up for the slam. Dwight is simply a different level of human, enjoy him doing stuff like this while you can.

YouTube of the Day

We’ve been on the NBA 2K15 bandwagon all summer waiting for this game to drop and the latest trailer just gets us more excited for it. The best part of this isn’t even the gameplay or the graphics, but the choice to have “What’s the Scenario” by A Tribe Called Quest and Busta Rhymes playing along with it is just too perfect.

Happy Birthday Scottie Pippen!

NBA great Scottie Pippen may unfairly live under Michael Jordan’s shadow, but Scottie is undeniably one of the best NBA players to ever lace them up.  We wish Scottie a happy 49th birthday with this famous poster slam. Our apologies to the Oliver Miller fans out there.

Check out the new Mavericks alternate uniforms courtesy of the fans’ designs. Very nice combo of their modern look and throwback 90’s uniforms.

Not to be overlooked, the Pelicans will also be rocking some alternate red uniforms next season.

Next Man Up? Meet Davon Dillard

If you pay attention to some of the best historic basketball cities, Gary, Indiana knows how to produce some ball players.  The next man who is sure to make a name for himself from there is upcoming Class of 2015 forward Davon Dillard. Dillard is strong, smart and confident; but lets be honest, the kid can flat out ball as he can do a little bit of everything well on the court.
