Veteran guard House inks 2-year deal with Heat →
Being servicey with simile: Eddie House going to Miami is like Garey Busey in Point Break. You don’t really need him, but it’s a whole lot better knowing he’s there.

sbnation:
If you were to meet someone that had never heard of LeBron James—surely an alien—and had to explain his existence with only one article, you could do no better than Arash Markazi’s latest profile for ESPN.com the article that just got pulled off ESPN.com for some unknown reason.
Anyway, some highlights from what was a fantastic profile. What’s LeBron like in a Las...

Huh, who knew? (Apparently, not him.) Tamir Goodman, eat your heart out.
“On the flight to Israel. This is going to be a great trip,” announced the power forward, who plays in the NBA for the New York Nicks, via the micro-blogging site Twitter.

– Kevin Durant
I would say that Lebron is going to use all this negative attention and soundbites from all his competitors as fuel for his competitive fire, but I don’t know if he has competitive fire anymore.

Is the Play the Thing?
Finally some smart writing on this Lebron and CP3 chatter. Read this. You can thank me later.
josemesaisdead:
Between LeBron, Chris Paul, and practically everyone else in the NBA any time there’s a trade of any significance, I’ve come to a strange conclusion: I’m sick of hearing about championships.
I don’t mean to say that I believe NBA players shouldn’t be thinking about winning or trying...

Big Shot Rob/Bob
This made some really good points. But, you are a bit crazy when you say: “From 1994 to 2007, Robert Horry was the most feared crunch time playoff performer.”
IMHO, there was this guy playing for the Bulls, who was prolly a little more feared. But that’s just guess work on my part because damn Bob could put up the most feared 7 & 5 & 2 in the history of modern...

Team USA invites Jason Kidd to serve as player... →
His presence will merely be a reminder there’s a 37 year old out there, who can’t shoot a lick, and might still be a better player than any other PG playing.

Kidd will be used as a defender for those PG’s lacking confidence.

People are handling this really well. It’s nice to know every one can learn to adapt to the business side of the NBA. Who am I kidding. That was a fucked up thing to do.
