    Kobe hasn't been this unstoppable since his rendezvous with a white chick in a Colorado hotel room.

    Yao offers as much resistance in the lane as Katelyn Faber in a hotel room.

    Considering that Kobe was defended by Battier and Artest and still scored 37 and led the Lakers to the win, while the fighting LeBrons lost to them, Kobe is clearly definitively better than LeBron.


    TBL told me so.

    until Michael Lewis writes a 10,000-word story about how centers are the smartest guys in football.


    It was a 288-page book and it was about left tackles, but he is already way ahead of you, Dash.

    Kudos to the anonymous fake twitterer who might be Gourmet Spud.

    He's got it backwards, though. He makes it seem like Battier was the only, or even biggest, reason for all the wins on his teams. So, he really could've written an article about any semi-decent player who's happened to be on a lot of winning teams. I'll submit James Posey, for example.

    @FiveKidsDown: You're correct in the first sense but to say Battier has little/nothing to do with team success is off. There will always be a place in a roster for a guy who can stop opponent's best players, make the smart play, have great knowledge of how the game is played. The superstar relationship is mutual. Guys like Lebron James help win basketball games. Adding guys like Shane Battier push the team to a higher level and make it a championship team.

    It's meant to be understood and digested by many people who understand nothing about sports, but are maybe interested in science and non-conventional thinking


    So for an encore we can expect to read about Tracy McGrady's degenerative knees and a day inside the brain of Ron Artest.

    And yet here he was shuttling between a black world that treated him as white and a white world that treated him as black.


    Then he went to Duke and everyone learned to hate him, regardless of race.

    It's meant to be understood and digested by many people who understand nothing about sports, but are maybe interested in science and non-conventional thinking. (i.e. eggheads who like proving people wrong.)


    It's understandable how you would think that, but it's a demonstrably false, if compelling conclusion. Let me show you why.
