If you reach LeBron will teach

King James may be over 30 nod but there's still no slowing him down, especially in tranition. This was apparent in yesterday's game against the Boston Celtics when Avery Bradley (widely regarded as an above average defender) attempted to stop James to no avail. 

Jarett Jack helps take down the best in the west

The Brooklyn Nets have had a pretty disappointing season however thanks to Jack's last second heroics they hold on to defeat the (nearly) unstoppable Golden State Warriors.

Raptors 5% first quarter

The Toronto Raptors set a new franchise record but not in a way they would've wanted. In the first quarter the Golden State Warriors held the team to a franchise low 5% shooting from the field. The Raptors went 1-19 in the quarter and ultimately got steamrolled by the Warriors in this game. When asked about this in the locker room after the game Steph Curry said it was "pretty cool" to hold Toronto to one FG in a quarter. 

James passes Pippen for all time assists

LeBron James made nba history tonight when he passed Scottie Pippen for the most assists by a forward ever. It's strange that you never hear about these records until somebody breaks them but that doesn't deter from LeBron's excellence. Pippen had 6, 131 for his career so LeBron passing him at the age of 30 is what makes this so impressive. By the time he retires that record will be cemented in the books for a long time.

Stoudemire heading to Dallas

Amar'e Stoudemire was bought out by the New York Knicks shortly after the completion of all star weekend Sunday night. Dallas has shown interest in the big man, even dropping Ricky Ledo in order to have a spot for him on the roster. The Mavericks have been in need of solid backup center ever since trading Brandon Wright in order to acquire Rajon Rondo. While it is very unlikely Stoudemire will return to the dominant force he was in Phoenix 10 years ago the Mavs hope he can show glimpses of greatness in limited minutes.  He gave this statement upon being signed to the Mavericks.
