- Lost in translation? "This is Jet Li spirit produced with Yao Ming steel tube." It has nothing to do with fertility aids, and has something to do with Yao Ming maybe endorsing some booze or something. Be careful either way: I just bet that "Jet Li spirit" stains.

- Pro teams in Vegas? Here's David Stern's take: "I think it'll happen. I'm not going to say which sport will go first, but I think it will happen. It's certainly true that any owner who has to move in a hurry probably considers Vegas an option." Later in Michael Lee's Washington Post article, one of the Maloofs makes it sound like a new stadium might be the biggest remaining obstacle.
- David Stern tells Bill Simmons about the age limit: "the opportunity to see Darko Milicic, Martell Webster, Gerald Green, Kwame Brown, you name it, any high draft pick, for one more year, will in some cases move players up in the draft and in some cases move them down. And that's a good business issue, and ultimately leads to having better basketball players on the roster to make the basketball better. Is it potentially unfair to a player who could have come in right away? Yup. We can go both ways on it. Actually, if it winds up helping the colleges, that isn't a terrible thing." More on that from Sports Law Blog.

Behind the Blazers Beat quotes GM John Nash's version of events: "His agent left me a voice mail, and I returned it and told him we have 15 players under contract and we have no interest,'' Nash said. "I don't know what (Rodman) is talking about.''
- Sam Kirchner: "I wanted to write a big ol' piece on how Michael Redd got shafted on going to the all-star game, and today I got a big ol' assist from 82games.com."
