- There's something about the way Tim Duncan's outlet passes move.
- J.A. Adande with a killer Kobe "28 assists in two wins" question: "Is it the fancy passing, or a passing fancy?"

- "The players they traded away looks like an All-Star team, while the players they kept looks like a D-League team." Kevin Draper, on HoopSpeak, assessing the Suns.
- L.L. Cool J, aged 17, playing a somewhat enthusiastic Maine high-school gym.
- When he looks at U.S. higher education, Mark Cuban sees a financial mess reminiscent of the pre-bust mortgage industry.
- Charles Barkley is bringing the sunshine, shares some concerns about his landscaping.

- Are the flopping rules working?
- Allen Iverson in the D-League?
