Last night the college Slam Dunk and Three Point Conest was held at The Palace at Auburn Hills in Detroit. Tony Danridge barely edged Charlie Coley, III and his sicky ‘fro in a dunk off.

So when I had a chance to check out NBA 2K8 for the Xbox360, I happily jumped at the chance! Having not played last year’s game, I can’t comment on how it compares, but most people seem to agree that it’s MUCH better than it’s predecessor in almost every way. If you’re not familiar with the game, here’s the “official” description of the game: The king of the hard court is back ... Read Full Story
