Dirk Nowitzki will be sitting out the Mav's games this week so that he can get back in to proper playing shape. Kudos to Dirk for swallowing his pride and putting in the necessary work, but if he thought Court of Appeals would just let his little vacation slide... he was mistaken.
Cool earring.

Jam of the Week 1/20
This week's slam goes out to the Jazz's CJ miles for prompting a classically bizarre but lovable line from TNT announcer Kevin Harlan in last night's action. Props to CJ for putting Lamar Kardashian Odom on a poster, as well as evoking this response from one of the best in the biz.
"Take me to the dance! Kick up your heels! CJ Miles!"

Old School Pic of the Week 1.17
After 2011 ended with a premature playoff exit, the San Antonio Spurs had hoped to bounce back with a strong start to this season. When Manu Ginobili went down with a broken hand the prospects looked bleak for the Spurs, but instead they have rallied to a 6-2 record since the injury. And though times are good in San Antonio these days, never again will they be as sweet as the time Chuck Person bathed himself in a pile of lollipops.

Jam of the Week 1/13
Nate Robinson is slowly gaining the reputation as a wanderer in the NBA. After four seasons with the Knicks he hasn't seemed to be able to find a fit after making stops in Boston and Oklahoma City. The Golden State Warriors signed Robinson early last week, as increasingly injury prone point guard, Steph Curry, tweaked his ankle. The point guard has discovered and embraced his new role for the Warriors averaging 35 minutes per game, 14 points per game and 4 assists per game. Not too shabby. In the win against the Heat this week, he hit big shots down the stretch, created offense for his teammates and won the hearts of the Warrior faithful. He looks like a leader out there with this young Warriors squad and may have found himself a permanent home in the Bay. This week's dunk goes out to Sea Town's finest, Nate Robinson.

Jam of the Week 1/6
It's not often that in sports that an organization sides with a moody, young and erratic player over the team's head coach. The NBA is no normal league, as advertised, it's where amazing happens. There's just no better word to describe how I felt with the Sacramento Kings actions this week, amazed. Coach Paul Westphal was canned after notorious punk and current starting Kings center, DeMarcus Cousins demanded a trade. The Kings made a pretty clear statement with their decision spelled out in this elaborate chart I have created just for you:
Because of the major, what I'm going to call, "Phal-Out" between the Kings and their former head coach, the dunk of the week goes out to Cousins, the inciter. Keep mixing it up big guy.
"The STRENGTH of DeMarcus Cousins.
