(Video) NBA: Derrick Rose Talks Dwight Howard: ‘Who Wouldn’t Want to Play With Him?’

January 31st, 2012 | By @HYPEMANCOOPSDM

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard clarified his stance on playing for the Bulls by telling the Chicago Tribune:

“If I could play with Derrick right now and God wanted that to happen, it will happen. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to play with Derrick Rose. I love him. That’s my brother.”

Rose addressed that Chicago Tribune report before facing the Washington Wizards on Monday night:
“Me and Dwight definitely have a relationship, especially because of adidas. I know our market and the city speaks for itself, if someone was interested to come to the Chicago Bulls,” Rose said of the Magic’s All-Star center. “Dwight, he’s a great player. Who wouldn’t want to play with him, but you never know what’s going to happen

NBA: Kendrick Perkins Speaks On Blake Griffin Poster Dunk

January 31st, 2012 | By @HYPEMANCOOPSDM

The mark Griffin put on Kendrick Perkins last night is irremovable. ESPN has been playing it nonstop

To his credit, the OKC Thunder said that last night’s monster dunk is just one of those things that happen from time to time, and accepted that shot-blockers must learn to live with these occassional humiliations.

“Well, it happens,” said Perkins. “At the end of the day if you’re a shot blocker, you’re going to get dunked on. It was a great play that he made. Obviously I wish I wasn’t in it, but it was a great play that he made. Definitely.”

There was some debate among journalists while waiting for the Thunder locker room to open. Did Griffin initiate contact with his off hand? Should it have been an offensive foul? “It was a clean dunk,” said Perkins. Kendrick didn’t get a great look at the play as it unfolded. “I didn’t know what happened,” said Perkins. “I just knew I was trying to get to the rotation. Our defensive coverage had broke down and that’s what it was.”

NBA: LeBron Became The 17th Player in NBA History With 17k Points, 4,500 Rebounds & 4,500 Assists

January 31st, 2012 | By @HYPEMANCOOPSDM

Dwyane Wade’s role as captain of the Miami Heat comes with certain privileges. For example, he can occasionally shake off calls from Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. And no one complained, either.

Wade and LeBron James each scored 22 points, Mike Miller added 14 off the bench and the Heat rode the strength of a brilliant 18-minute run midway through the game to beat the Hornets 109-95 on Monday night,

Miami’s eighth win in nine games.

LeBron James became the 17th player in NBA history with 17,000 points, 4,500 rebounds and 4,500 assists. Of the first 16, 13 are Hall of Famers already, the others being Gary Payton, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, all sure-fire Hall entrants one day.

Breaking News: Paula Abdul & Nicole Scherzinger Fired From X-Factor!

January 31st, 2012 | By @HYPEMANCOOPSDM

Looks like X-Factor is doing a little Spring cleaning! Not only have judges Paula and Nicole been given the ax, but host Steve Jones has as well! I guess they’re going to be bringing in a whole cast of new people. Question is…why? Ratings I’m assuming, but it sucks when they have to be delivered the news via a lawyer and the show couldn’t even tell them themselves. Ouch! Are you sad to see them go?

No Bond Reduction for Zinah Jennings, Mother of Amir Jennings

January 31st, 2012 | By @HYPEMANCOOPSDM

A judge has denied a bond reduction request for Zinah Jennings, the mother of missing Columbia toddler Amir Jennings.

Circuit Court Judge Casey Manning issued his ruling Tuesday.

In court Monday, Zinah Jennings’s lawyer, Hemphill Pride II, argued that the $150,000 bond set for her should be lowered. Pride said the amount was too high, and that Jennings needed to be released to receive pre-natal care for her unborn child.

Prosecutors countered, however, saying that Jennings was a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Amir Jennings has not been seen since around Thanksgiving, and police say his mother has been uncooperative in their investigation into the child’s disappearance.

The filings made in court for this hearing revealed for the first time that Zinah Jennings was pregnant again.
