The 10-man rotation, starring George Karl's 900th career win

By J.E. Skeets


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Hoops Addict. Mr. 900 talks about starting his career 2-19, Madrid and getting carried off the court.
PF: Vote4Amare. Amare Stoudemire continues to use YouTube and Maxwell to score some All-Star votes.
SF: MittelMitte. Kobe Bryant's "Sneaker Effectiveness Matrix," automatically updated every five minutes.
SG: NewsOK. Uh-oh. The new Thunder mascot will reportedly be similar to Benny the Bull or the Gorilla.
PG: Kornheiser's Cartel. A ridiculously early look at what may transpire in the 2009 NBA Draft.
6th: SI Vault. April 30, 1984: "There are positions in basketball and there is Jordan."
7th: WorldStarHipHop. LeBron James' birthday toys: a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Ferrari 599.
8th: The Starting Five. Speaking of LeBron, is he the best athlete of all time?
9th: Ryan Parker Songs, via Blog a Bull. Sing it loud, Chicago: "Derrick Rose Needs Some Help."
10th: Ballhype, via FanHouse. After the jump, the long video history of KG being an on-the-court pest.

    i'm glad this is getting some press, i didn't really know how he acted until i started watching these celtic games. he's an amazing player, but a total punk on the court.

    I've always hated KG, and now since he's a Celtic and thinks hes playing for the best team ever I hate him even more. As soon as the "Big Three" are gone the better the NBA will be.

    All that video shows is that KG isn't perfect. I could come up with a similar tape for most players in the league. It's freakin basketball people. Elbows get thrown, people get pushed and others flop (like Pachulia on that screen).
    Fact is, like with the Simmons anger this page seems to have, you've decided you don't like KG (most likely due to his popularity) and then look for reasons post decision.

    agreed with dan g; who put it out there that kg was this paragon of humility and grace anyways? the guy's a fierce competitor, and that's got an ugly side that will show up in anybody. i'm not saying that it should be ignored or excused, but by the way some people talk, jordan and bird should be friggin' pariahs.
