- Golden State of Mind: "I know international hoops rules differ from the NBA, but I never knew that FIBA had different time frames for how long a week was. Yi is still listed as the Interview of the Week on Fiba's home page even though it took place on March 3, 2006."
- What happened to the team from Serbia and Montenegro. Four years ago the former Yugoslavia won the entire World Championships and there was partying in the streets. Four years later the team is going through nearly a coach a year, the vast majority of NBA players have been benched of kicked off the team, and they only made it to the tournament at all thanks to being assigned a wild card. Chris Sheridan tells what happened.
- Oregonian columnist John Canzano has a reputation as a bit of a crank when it comes to the Trail Blazers.But the fact that Jamaal Magloire knows where Eugene is gets him going. Just think, with some simple geography skills, Bonzi Wells' whole career could have been totally different.
- Evan Weiner in the New York Sun: "Sacramento officials appear to have deliberately used language that makes it unclear what voters are being asked to approve. The two-part referendum on the November ballot proposes a quarter of a cent general tax hike for the next 15 years then asks whether voters would like to see the estimated $1.2 billion in proceeds go to building an arena and other community projects. Why didn't Sacramento politicians mention that the tax increase in question is in fact a sales tax hike? The answer seems to be that the arena referendum had to be worded in such a way because it was never going to get the two-thirds approval needed under California law to pass a sales tax increase. Officials need just a simple majority, a 50.1% plurality, to win a general tax hike."
- Michael Jordan, human flight machine, says "I really don't understand the physics of jumping and how you increase that." He'll tell you how to do it, though. Sort of.
- Some athletes drink too much water.
- Diana Taurasi scores 47, sets a new WNBA record.
- Mike James: "I am a winner in my head."
- Steve Nash practices with the Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, plays well, and no doubt royally pisses off his sponsor Nike by having his photo taken with a massive Adidas logo on his chest. Seriously, that's the kind of stuff that drives brand people crazy.
- Rumor: Loren Woods to Sacramento.
- Ruben Patterson is now "Captain Chaos?"
- More from the Wages of Wins on Team USA composition.
- Leandro Barbosa highlights.
- Desmond Mason Art.
- ESPN just ate ABC Sports, which is no more.
