Dwight Howard as Superman
If you haven’t seen Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard’s Superman dunk here it is. He played it up to the crowd in New Orleans, but watching it in slow motion really gives you a better appreciation of the athleticism it took to pull it off. vGs3fa8"> Another group has joined…

Kobe unafraid of hand-to-hand combat
EL SEGUNDO — Can’t ever say Kobe Bryant won’t sacrifice his body for his game. In fact, a lot of times he has tasted his blood from some sort of on-court scrape and redoubled his efforts because it stirs up something deep inside him. This situation with torn ligaments in the pinky…

Lakers 117, Timberwolves 92
MINNEAPOLIS – To borrow Lamar Odom’s favorite word of late, it was a “festive” capper to this nine-game trip. Odom posted a triple-double (10 points, 10 assists, 16 rebounds), and the Lakers routed Minnesota to reach 7-2 on their epic pre-All-Star-break journey. Odom spent the first 4:10 of…

Pistons host Magic
The Pistons and Magic kick off the proverbial second half (technically, it’s the last third of the season) tonight in Detroit (7:30, FSN). The Pistons swept the Magic in the regular season and playoff last year and have taken two of the first three meetings this year, with their lone loss coming…

Kobe gets 2 of 3 MVP votes
MINNEAPOLIS — The Kevin Garnett-less Celtics just beating the Spurs probably helped Kobe Bryant’s MVP campaign. It’s close between KG, Bryant and maybe LeBron James — but Bryant’s chances look pretty good in my opinion. TNT All-Star broadcasters Marv Albert, Doug…

Handing out midterm grades
By Kevin Sawyer What better time to do a spot check on our favorite team than fresh off the all-star game. At the beginning of the season, I stated what I thought each player needed to deliver for the Pistons to perform at a championship level. Given that they are on a 61 win pace, there are some…
