VIDEO: Gerald Green throws alley-oop to himself vs. Magic

The Phoenix Suns had a rough time with their offense in their 93-90 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night, but Gerald Green found time to deliver one of the better highlights of the NBA season so far.

Well into the second quarter, Green makes a move on Victor Oladipo towards the right elbow. He picks up his dribble, almost stuck, but then steps through and throws the ball off the backboard…

Hit the jump to see the rest.

Sam Smith + Kanye West = ‘Tell Me I’m Not The Only One’

The Music Brewery

That’s right readers, Sam Smith and Kanye West have teamed up to create an absolutely massive song that is really the best of both. Ok well it’s not exactly an official collaboration, in fact it’s actually just a mash up coming from Carlos Serrano, who has frequently mixed and mashed Kanye West with other artists. But this has to be the best the combination of Kanye’s ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ and Sam Smith’s masterpiece ‘I’m Not The Only One’ to make ‘Tell Me I’m Not The Only One’

Russell Westbrook returns for the Thunder while Durant remains out

Basketball Society

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2013/0224/nba_u_westbrook_gb1_576.jpg

One of the two superstars for the Thunder has returned. Russell Westbrook will return tonight for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have struggled recently without their two superstars and are 4-12 going into their game tonight with the New York Knicks.

While it is good news for the Thunder that Westbrook will be returning tonight, the Thunder have reported that Durant will remain out. It was reported earlier that Durant might make a return today, but obviously the Thunder want to be a bit more cautious before bringing their MVP back.

Russell Westbrook’s return will most likely mean a return to the bench for Reggie Jackson. Jackson had played very well for the Thunder fighting to hold them afloat while the two stars of the team were hurt. Westbrook’s return and Durant’s impending return means that the Western Conference will have one more elite team fighting for…

Dwayne Wade could return Sunday vs. Knicks

Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade has missed seven games so far due to a hamstring strain. The Heat went 3-4 over that stretch and got an increased production load from Mario Chalmers, who started in Wade’s absence but came off the bench for Wade as an off-guard to start the season.

From Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel, Wade could be back for the Heat’s game against the New York Knicks on Sunday:

Needless to say Dwayne Wade is a major part of what the Heat like to do. He…

Monty Williams wants Anthony Davis taking 20 shots per game

Monty Williams and Anthony Davis

Monty Williams wants Anthony Davis taking 20 shots per game

All eyes are on Anthony Davis this season as he emerges as the league’s most promising and assuring young star. Right now Davis is averaging 25.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 3.4 blocks per game through 13 games. Basically he’s out of his mind.

Davis is averaging over 25 points per game on 17.7 shot attempts. Pelicans head coach Monty Williams wants that FGA number up to 20, per John Reid of the Times-Picayune:

Anthony cannot be in a game and not touch the ball. We have to have an effort to get him at least 20 shots every night. And that’s on me too. As much as I draw up plays for him, run the offense through him, the guys on the floor has to know it. When they don’t do it, I’ve got to make sure…
