For 19 years Shaquille O’Neal was a runaway train.  This is a little video i came across this morning, and just thought i would share it with the I AM NBA family. Video courtesy of: Dazanba, via Youtube

Hey guys here is my SnIcK oF tHe WeEk : The Nike Air Max Jr, Nuetral Grey-Dark Grey-Grey Volt.  I picked up these little numbers on my recent trip to NYC and rocked them during my coaching debut in The Harlem Tri-State Classic. [..]

LeBron James may be one of the most polarizing figures in the league right now, and has been for a while. When I saw this picture, I realized something.

Not everyone hates the “King”.

However, when it comes to tattooing something on your body, I would hope that a person would weigh the consequences of such a meaningless piece of permanent ink. Getting a celebrity’s face that has no clue that you exist is just one of many ways to incredibly disappoint. [..]

July 8 of last year brought forth a bevy of occasions. The most important would have to be the announcement of the 62^nd Primetime Emmy Award Nominations. Joel McHale of NBC’s “Community” and Sophia Vergara of ABC’s “Modern Family” were all ears as their names were called on all of the morning shows. You probably know them. They give off sometimes awkward comedic relief and a bit of sex appeal. At least, Modern Family does.

Several hours later LeBron James was starring in an offseason long sitcom of his own. One that people saw fit to extend through this year’s postseason. It was deemed “The Decision”

[..]

Recently iamnba.com’s Justine Brown was given the wonderful opportunity of hopping in the car and grabbing an interview with Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Durant is a two-time NBA scoring champion and one of the best young players in the league today.  He most recently lead his team to the Western Conference Finals only to lose to the eventual NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks.  Also just this year, Durant signed a five-year extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder worth $86 million.  We’d like to give a very sincere thanks to KD for being the humble and down-to-earth guy that he is, answering our questions and providing a great interview while riding to day two of his Nike Skills Academy in Chicago.

Checkout the video or written version of the interview below as he discusses all topics including the NBA lockout, the Thunder team, his skills academy, draft pick Reggie Jackson, why he loves Oklahoma City, his backpack line and more.

(Vid may be a bit shaky as we were riding in the car but shout out to Chuck who did as best he could as our camera guy!)

[..]

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were not the first trio to make a difference with a franchise.

Unbeknownst to the fans in attendance at their grand entrance before a single regular season game had been played, they are not merging pioneers. Pat Riley is a great executive for scooping together players of that skill level however he was not the original dictator of a power shift in the league.

The Boston Celtics were always as dynasty. Dating back to when Larry Bird and Kevin McHale were dominating forces to be conquered. Do not shake your head at the name. Before he was introduced as Houston Rockets’ head coach not too long a while ago, he was a three-time NBA champion and three-time All-Defensive Team member. Those rewards are not handed out lightly.

Why do you think Carmelo Anthony did not make a single All-NBA team this past season? [..]

We would like to send a big CONGRATS to our sites owner Teyana M.J. Taylor for this groundbraking viral video for #HerRoom.  This video has a very powerful message in it.

There are so many people that can relate to this level of emotion.  With the emotion being as strong as it is, sometimes it’s hard to control.  There are some people that can cry it out and heal, but then there are some that don’t know how to deal, and feel that they can’t go on.  If you know someone that may be feeling as if they can’t go on, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.  I hope this helps someone.

“Her Room” is a depiction of the battle between our hearts and minds when our worlds are seemingly shattered by the downside of love. This piece is intended to relate to everyone that’s been down a similar road. We hope this helps.
