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: NBAstuffer.com. A cool look at the 2008-09 regular season rest days. (The Wolves play 11 back-to-backs!)
PF: The Dave Burba Revolution. Rejected nicknames for the '08 men's basketball team. (ex: Laser Beam Team)
SF: Carmelo's Way, via YBF. In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the trailer for Melo's new reality show.
SG: The Starting 5. Zirin talks with former NBA'er Kermit Washington about combating hunger and HIV in Africa.
PG: Docksquad Sports. Luol Deng in Great Britain, teaching kids the art of the mid-range jumper.
6th: Wieden+Kennedy. Kobe, Nike and W+K's six-part series about training China's best basketball players.
7th: Basketbawful. Anybody out there want to discover the horrors of NBA slash fanfiction? Go nuts.
8th: X's and O's of Basketball. Video breakdown of Team Australia's ever-changing offense sets vs. Team USA.
9th: Hardwood Paroxysm. The Arbitrarian tackles individual contributions to team success. My head? Exploded.
10th: USA Today. The NBRA said a man identifying himself as Tim Donaghy has been making threatening phone calls since the real Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in prison. Don't look at me; I sound like a woman.

    The story about lebron being offered 50 mil to play in italy doesnt surprise me. these high caliber players to to understand playing abroad is the only way they can get away from irs and the courts who have an eye on black athletes! the nba is scared [profane]less and they know it! i lived in europe when i was in the military and i shouldnt have come back. anybody else on this blog would agree with me!!
