The top two seeds in the West have both advanced to the Western Conference finals, with the winner of this series heading to the NBA Finals. Here’s a preview of the best-of-seven series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder:

Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers is a monster on the court — the guy is more than six-feet tall for crying out loud — and we think it’s time that he gets his own internet meme. If Tim Tebow gets one, why shouldn’t Griffin? Well, we might not have to wait as long as we originally thought thanks to the son of his teammate Chris Paul.

Michael Jordan has been in some great TV commercials over the years. But the best MJ ad we’ve seen in a while doesn’t even feature Michael Jordan. Well, the ESPN spot doesn’t feature that Michael Jordan. Instead it’s all about a poor schlub whose parents happened to give him the same name as the Hall of Famer. Witness the pain of sharing a legendary name.

Last night in Detroit two, at the time, unidentified fans were able to sit on the Dallas Mavericks bench between players Vince Carter and Delonte West. Greatest seats in the house...ever?

Dirk Nowitzki had best stick to basketball. The Dallas Mavericks star, who won the Most Valuable Player Award while leading his team to the NBA championship, showed off some less-than-impressive skills when the city held a victory parade on Thursday.

Shaquille O'Neal, one of the most dominating and entertaining centers in NBA history, has announced his retirement. Never one to shy from the limelight, the star broke the news in a short video he made.

There must have been a mix-up in TNT's control room when the second half of Tuesday night's game between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls began. That's because basketball fans were treated to a live feed of one of TNT's cameramen rather blatantly using the tool of his trade to check out the women in the crowd at Miami's American Airlines Arena.
