    Shawn Kemp really only has 5 illegitimate children, but the league gave him credit for AC Green's too.

    ...on top of that ~20 errors per game, you have over double that in intentional errors. By intentional errors, I mean events that never happened ...or events that are awarded to the wrong player. The intentional errors are organizationally sanctioned/encouraged - they increase national media coverage/interest and increase your franchise's and player's visibility. There is also league pressure to protect/enhance the stats of the elite players.

    We need to pump up the stats, make sure Nick gets at least 20 assists and 3 referee assaults.

    More surprising stat from that game: Kobe had three assists.

    Did Don MacLean really have an NBA career, or was he just some scorekeeper's generous fudge?

    Tommy, that was a long, long time ago.

    The NBA has a proud history of stat-padding. For example, Wilt Chamberlain slept with six, seven thousand women, tops.

    Speaking of Rockets-Blazers, my friend is flying out from Philly to Portland next Monday, going to Game 5 at the Rose Garden on Tuesday, then flying back to Philly the next day. In short, Oregonians love their one pro team.

    Yeah, I know, Boulder not Denver...


    Don't you think Mutombo had his best years in Atlanta?

    If he gets in, it waters down the meaning of HOF'er and then opens the door for guys like Joe Dumars.

    @MarkKelsosMigraine: Honestly, I have no idea. I stopped paying attention to basketball after about the '97-98 season. He'll probably end up in with his # retired in Denver, and that seems fitting.

    Greg Oden may be an interesting guy, but he is going to kill someone on the basketball court. He's like a a bull in a china shop. Someone needs to teach him how to control his body and play the damn game.
