Ball Don't Lie - NBA


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: TSNB. Jason Kidd dumps Nike for a company with ties to even nastier human rights violations.
PF: Indy Cornrows. I am so there.
SF: NESW Sports. Charles Barkley has the audacity to question Michael Jordan's golf game, and we love him for it.
SG: A Stern Warning. Jose Calderon thinks Spain would have beat Team USA had FIBA rules been enforced. And if Dwyane Wade's grandparents were Spanish.
PG: Maniac World. Kenny Smith just killing dunkers past and present.
6th: Hoopsanalyst. Harlan breaks down the Olympics, quite a read.
7th: 3 Shades of Blue. Does Memphis have talent? Do the Bar-Kays have a groove you could set your watch to? I'd like to think so.
8th: The Blowtorch. Probably your link of the day. Coach K and Carlos Boozer have just the dream and the wind to carry them.
9th: Hardwood Paroxysm. Actually, this is your link of the day. Three words: "Trey, seriously, dude." I still do remember, burgeoning punk rocker that I was, picking up a pair of Air Huraches for my 12th birthday, "Never Mind the Bollocks," and cassette singles of this song, and this song. It was a good Saturday, and I was a weird little kid.
10th: Hornets247. I truly have nothing to add to this.

    Trey wins the Internet today. I also like the way that Jose moves over to the two-spot to make room for Kenny Smith killing dunkers -- it's just the kind of thing Run JMC does. If Tas were here, he'd call it the Gatorade thing.

    Jason Kidd, a wifebeater who gave his gold medal to a casino and went from a company with a known history of abused child labor to a company that barely feels the need to make excuses for that kind of thing. Plus he's rich and gets these endorsements in addition to ridiculously hot chicks despite having a face that looks like someone tried to put out a forest fire with a screwdriver. I would never question God's existence.
    Thankfully this tool will never get an NBA Championship ring.

    Peak not only runs sweatshops with underpaid child labor, they blatantly steal shoe designs from both major companies and independent designers. Kidd might have looked into that before signing, but why should he care? It's all money.
    And I don't give a crap what kind of numbers Kidd's put up in his career, doesn't make him a great guy. He beat his wife, according to her more than once--with broken ribs and her head smashed into a car dashboard, and that's not counting the time he was actually arrested and convicted for it. But who gives a crap, right? He gets double-doubles. Grow up.

    Never Mind the Bollocks on the same day with those two songs. Man you were a weird kid. (I love the Pistols and Queen and Annie's work. But on the same day???)
