▸ LeBron James: Career Retrospective (Video)
With LBJ winning his 4th MVP, the NBA posted this video recapping his journey in the league up to this point. He’s definitely going to end up being one of the greatest ever. However, I think the debate will always remain, MJ or LBJ?
Cole Haan Lunargrand “Knicks Playoffs” for Spike Lee by Revive Customs
Knicks superfan Spike Lee is known for his court side antics as well as his shoe game. In honor of the 2013 Playoffs, Lee had a custom pair of Cole Haan Lunargrand’s made. They feature an orange upper with jersey mesh print on the toe and are finished off with a Knicks blue Lunar midsole. Other notable details include a custom “SL” logo on the heel, an old school Knicks logo on the right insole, and a pixelated Mars Blackmon logo on the left insole. I never knew orange dress shoes could look so cool.

I don’t know why it took me so long to discover the NBA YouTube channel. Consistent pure gold. These are the best bloopers from the month of March, and there are some good ones.
▸ Kevin Durant Tackles Fan After Half-Court Shot (Video)
I first saw this on Sportscenter, and was kind of shocked at Durant’s blatant rip-off from when LeBron tackled that one fan. Then, I watched this, and got the whole story. Apparently the dude asked Durant to tackle him. The craziest thing about the video is the fact that was a $20,000 shot.

▸ Who Dunked It Better: DeAndre Jordan or Harrison Barnes? (Video)
I didn’t watch the Clippers game last night, but at one point I checked my Twitter, and there was about 50 people talking about the DeAndre Jordan dunk. Someone actually changed Brandon Knight’s Wikipedia page to say he died last night. You can see an image of that after the jump.

The Many Shades Of Craig Sager (24 Pics)
It took me a little while, but I have compiled some of Craig Sager’s best, or possibly his worst outfits, depending on your own personal opinion. He seems to catch a lot of flack, and it’s grown worse recently. I dig what he’s got going on though, he’s not afraid to step out of the box, and I can appreciate that.
▸ Phantom: Terrence Ross Wins Slam Dunk Contest (Video)
In case you missed the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, or just didn’t care, here’s a video recapping Terrence’s dunks. There happens to be a nice little twist though. Using a Phantom camera, they put all of his dunks in super sl0w-mo, which I think helps you appreciate the skill it takes to pull some of these off.
▸ Dwyane Wade x Li Ning – Way of Wade
Piggy-backing off of all the hoops hoopla surrounding All-Star Weekend, Dwyane Wade’s partnership with Chinese sportswear apparel company, Li Ning, is finally getting its anticipated marketing push.
