Over the summer, we learned that former NBA player Latrell Sprewell was officially Wisconsin's worst tax scofflaw, thanks to the state's public list of the top 100 delinquent taxpayers. Back then, Sprewell owed more than $3.5 million—but as of this week, he's no longer on the list. Anthony Mason, who last played with the Bucks in 2003, has advanced to the No. 2 spot in his former colleague's absence. (Not that this is a competition or anything.) More »

If there was one thing that my high school science teachers taught me, it was that I should immediately lose any delusions about ever becoming a doctor, or doing anything related to memorization or numbers or earth science ever—and I thank them for that. But I think somewhere along the way, I did learn that the earth is not a sphere (like a basketball); it is an oblate spheroid (something like a football). More »

The Bucks' Drew Gooden is opening four new Wingstop restaurants in the Orlando area. "I did lot of research on different franchises," he says, before admitting he really wanted to own a Five Guys Burgers but there were none available. Wings are good too. [Orlando Business Journal] More »

Under Armour has unleashed a new marketing campaign based around the idea that they're a "Change Agent" in the world of sports gear. The company even released a spoken-word promotional video that includes the sentence "Welcome to the revolution." It does a good job of subliminally positioning Under Armour as the plucky up-and-comer who's "realer" than Nike and Adidas because he hasn't gotten a major record deal yet. Or something. More »

Bucks guard Brandon Jennings did his best Kevin Durant impression in a self-assisted, fast-break alley-oop at Baltimore's Melo Center earlier this week. His timing was impeccable. More »

Bango, the Bucks' mascot, is one of the best performers in the mascot ranks. Last night he proved it. During the biggest game of the year, Bango flipped off a ladder, dunked, and somehow managed not to die. [Vegas Plays] More »

Any day now, the NBA will teach Brandon Jennings to be studiedly bland and tactful. Until then, let's enjoy the glorious insolence of a 19-year-old rookie who says what we've all thought at one time or another: "Fuck the Knicks." More »

10. Brandon Jennings, Compton via Italy. Forget all the hating, Jennings can play. The Bucks get him at a great spot, although they don't have a whole lot of talent surrounding him. More »

NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that is at least as exciting as watching lint collect in your belly button: The Milwuakee Bucks. More »

In need of a point guard, and realizing that free agents flock to Toronto like women flock to bloggers, the Raptors acquired a point guard in a trade last night. T.J. Ford heads north of the border, and Charlie Villanueva goes back the other way to play alongside Andrew Bogut in Milwaukee. More »

As one would probably expect from this season, the Eastern Conference NBA playoff matchups are less compelling than the Western Conference, and we're not just saying that because we're in Los Angeles right now. Personally, we're kind of sad David Stern didn't extend a sort of courtesy invite to the Knicks; it would have been fun to watch them combust for four more games. Larry Brown would have never survived. More »

The top four is set, but the battle for the final four spots in the NBA's Eastern Conference Playoffs is as tight and bunched-up as Magic Johnson's boxers. Milwaukee, Washington, and Indiana all have identical 39-40 records, with Chicago one game behind them at 35-41. The Sixers are the odd man out at the moment, 2 games out of a spot at 37-42. With perhaps a little bit of shuffling among the order, the four teams that are in right now are probably the same four teams that will end up sliding in. More »

We've all been there. You're at a party, and the big foreign dude who's always banging his head into things has taken a little too many 'shrooms. He's freaking out. He's screaming. "The dragons, man, the dragons, they're EVERYWHERE! I'm sorry, Papa, I'm sorry! Moccasins! Moccasins!" More »

Our Boy Bill Simmons gets a lot of gruff from old-school sports journalists for being too much of a "fan" and not enough of a "reporter," or, when he does do deign to do interviews, ends up crawling a little too high up the subject's nether regions. We've never really agreed with the former criticism — it smacks of jealousy (particularly now that Simmons is officially a best-selling author) and, mostly, misses the point of why Simmons is popular and such a compulsively readable writer — but those who fling the latter charge might be chuckling to themselves this morning, if you can find it possible to "chuckle" when you hear a story about a woman being punched in the face.
