  • A statistician takes a stab at figuring out how many points Kobe Bryant cost the Lakers by ball-hogging on the night he scored 81. 12, by the way. That's the answer. Passing more, says the Arbitrarian on Hardwood Paroxysm, would have delivered the Lakers 12 extra points in a game they won anyway.
  • The Knicks add John Gabriel and Misho Ostarcevic to the front office, further diluting the credibility of earlier claims that Isiah Thomas will matter moving forward.
  • Trying to cool his love of twizzlers, Derrick Rose is transitioning to cupcakes.
  • Kevin Garnett circa 1999: Not good at foosball.
  • I've been wrestling with whether or not to even mention that the interior of Charles Barkley's colon will be on TV. Even if it's for a good cause, some things don't need a spotlight, you know? Colons are up there. My main thought is that if you're telling the world you are so famous that your colonoscopy actually counts as entertainment, then you are darn close to losing the ability to ever say, with conviction, "that's private."
  • Matt Kamalsky of Draft Express has a massive review of the Phoenix Suns up, which includes this unintentionally hilarious, and inarguably true, line: "Has struggled with conditioning problems ever since leaving the Orlando Magic." For the record, Shaquille O'Neal left the Magic a dozen years ago.
  • Donyell Marshall, gazillionaire, in the hotel lobby, avoiding fifty-cent hotel surcharges on phone calls. Exercise your right to be frugal!
