On Saturday night at Florida International University a team of NBA All Stars lead by Dwyane Wade defeated a squad anchored by his Miami Heat teammate LeBron James 141 to 140. It was a surprisingly intense charity game that gave the 4000 fans in attendance (and the players) a welcome respite from the current NBA lockout.

Nine players from the 2011 All-Star game were on the court including Wade, James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Amar’e Stoudemire, Russell Westbrook and Rajon Rondo. Other players included John Wall, Rudy Gay, James Harden, Jamal Crawford, Caron Butler, Jonny Flynn and Dorell Wright.

Comedian Kevin Hart “coached” Wade’s team and Udonis Haslem coached LeBron’s. Proceeds of the game will go to FIU’s First Generation scholarship program to help students become the first in their family to attend college. It will also benefit Mary’s Court, a foundation set-up in honor of Isaiah Thomas’s mother. Thomas is the current coach of Florida International’s basketball team.

25 Reasons We Love Michael Jordan

qa — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:00:20 +0000

There will never be a debate about who the greatest basketball players to ever play the game without it starting with Michael Jordan. Even people who never watched basketball will say Michael Jordan, because his greatness transcended his sport. Jordan’s on-court accomplishments are something to marvel at, but how used his talent to make himself practically bigger than the sport that made him is still an awe-inspiring feat.

The 9 Most Exciting Black Basketball Players

Here we pay homage to Jordan’s stature both on the court and off. Presenting the 25 reasons we love his Airness.

The black and red Jordans made their debut in 1985, and were the first shoe of it’s kind. Prior to their arrival, basketball shoes were white. The NBA fined Jordan for his sneakers, for which Nike gladly paid.
Game winning shots starting in college when he attended University of North Carolina and shot the game winner in the 1982 NCAA title game against Georgetown University.
The Mel Turpin “Was He Big Enough” dunk.
Game 5, round 1 of the 1989 NBA playoffs against Cleveland Cavaliers, three seconds left, Chicago Bulls are down by one when Jordan takes over and shoots the game-winning 15-foot jump shot.
Jordan covers up the Reebok logo on his tracksuit with an American flag at the medal ceremony for the 1992 Summer Olympic medal ceremony.
Played baseball with the minor league Scottsdale Scorpions, after retiring from basketball the first time.
The “I can’t believe it” shrug in game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against the Portland Trailblazers.
His charity: Legend has it that during Chicago home games, Jordan would stop off at an unknown South Side Chicago neighborhood and give four tickets to the kids who lived in the area.
In 1996, the Air Jordan IXI were spotted on the feet of all four members of R&B singing group Boyz II Men, who rocked the shoes with their tuxedos at an awards show.
The “Love of the Game” clause in Jordan’s contract was one of a kind. Unlike most players, Jordan was allowed to play a pick-up game of basketball anytime, anywhere.
The Jordan Brand Classic for high school student basketball players.
The 69-point game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1990.

The Miami Heat Take Game 1 Of NBA Finals Against Dallas Mavericks

Hot 104.1 — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:43:36 +0000

Last night, the Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks 92-84 in the NBA Finals. While Miami leads the series 1-0; the win was was not come by easily. Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had a good game though none of them were consistent. Wade’s 22 points 10 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks were very impressive, especially being that his performance in the first half of the game was poor. Even with those stats, Dirk Nowitzki was able to accumulate 27 points, with help from Shawn Marion. The first three quarters of the game was intense, very close and displayed great defense from both teams. In the fourth quarter, a three-point shot by Wade sent the Dallas Mavericks into a defensive struggle resulting in a loss for the eager team.
