Congrats to the Miami Heat, who deservedly won the 2012 NBA Championship after taking down the Oklahoma City Thunder in five hard-fought games. Be sure to catch up on anything you might’ve missed in our liveblog, and here are some details from ESPN’s recap: “The critics can stop now. King James is finally a champion. Behind yet another stellar effort [...]
Doubt has begun to creep all around these young OKC Thunder, who let a golden opportunity slip through their hands in Miami last night, and must now climb out of a hole against the surging Heat. In addition to shaky play late in the second half, and silly fouls throughout the game, the OKC Thunder seemed like they were trying [...]
We have one hell of a championship round on our hands, as the NBA Finals now shift to Miami for three consecutive tilts, following the Heat’s big Game 2 win last night. LeBron James (32 points, 8 boards, 5 assists) received the help he so desperately needed from Dwyane Wade and others, and in the end, James got the best [...]
Round 1 of the dream superstar showdown in the NBA Finals went to Kevin Durant, decisively. The Durantula scored 17 of his game-high 36 points in the fourth quarter last night, as the OKC Thunder took the opener of the series after trailing throughout the first half. OKC’s young guns showed impressive poise down the stretch, before cruising past a [...]
LeBron James is making a guarantee about this third NBA Finals appearance: This time there will be no regrets. Though his playoff career has been accomplished, the two worst series of James’ career have been his two previous trips to the Finals.

Behind outstanding performances from Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka, the Thunder came out Saturday night and took down the Spurs, evening the series at two. Naturally, swingman Stephen Jackson wasn’t too happy with what he saw out of his teammates, and he’s got an idea or two about what San Antonio needs to do to swing the momentum back in [...]
It’s a catchphrase likely coming soon to fan T-shirts, Internet memes and the lexicon of the NBA playoffs for the foreseeable future. “I want some nasty!” Gregg Popovich didn’t just coin it. He snarled it, and the way his San Antonio Spurs obliged has the Western Conference finals off to a thrilling start. Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and the [...]
During Oklahoma City’s final possession Saturday night, Kevin Durant went one-on-one against Metta World Peace, spotting up right over the Lakers’ enforcer and draining what turned out to be the game-winning trey. Relive it above, then weigh in below: Do you think World Peace gave KD a little too much space? Or was he playing solid defense, only to be [...]
With two minutes to go in a hotly contested Game 2, the victory seemed fairly secure for the Los Angeles Lakers last night. They were up by seven points, had held the explosive OKC Thunder in check, and seemed on the verge of tying up the series at 1 game apiece heading back to Hollywood. But, then, doom arrived at [...]
CSKA Moscow, who blew a 19-point second half lead and lost the Euroleague final to Olympiakos this weekend, has at least one well-known player expected to sign in North America this summer, in Andrei Kirilenko (6’9”-F-81).
