The Main Ingredient: Mom's Orange Tree
In 1974, when I was three years old, my grandparents returned from a trip to Florida with a gift for my mother and my aunt. They carried it in a box, a few small branches of an orange tree. My aunt planted hers and it died almost immediately but Mom, who has a way with plants and flowers, potted the...

Mike D'Antoni Throws Some Major Shade At Pau Gasol
The Lakers are hanging in there, but Pau Gasol, who was supposed to be a dependable and veteran presence in the general absence of either, has put up career-lows (or nearly so) in almost every category. Gasol says he's being used wrong. Mike D'Antoni says Pau's just dogging it....
Watch David Stern Choking In Slow Motion, Because It Is Fun
David Stern had a drinking problem last night while in attendance at last night's Clippers-Nets game in Brooklyn. He just so happened to choke while on TNT's camera, meaning we can exploit it for our own artistic/deviant purposes....

Report: Knicks Might Try Drafting In The First Round For Once
When the reports started coming down yesterday that the Knicks were seeking Kyle Lowry from the Raptors in exchange for a package including a 2018 first-rounder, it sounded eminently logical.

The Return Of Marvin Williams Was More Important Than We Thought
Remember Kobe's weird video announcing his comeback with his Lakers jersey writhing around set to epic music? (And how it went on for far too long?)

Does More Ball Movement Help An NBA Offense, Or Just Waste Time?
What counts as good NBA ball movement? The "seven seconds or less" theory developed by Mike D'Antoni's Phoenix Suns contends that teams are more efficient earlier in the shot clock (they are), and that the best strategy is, consequently, to get a shot off quickly with relatively few touches on the b...
Why The Arguments Against NCAA Pay-For-Play Suck
NCAA president Mark Emmert, speaking Wednesday at the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, pooh-poohed the idea of paying collegiate athletes. "There's certainly no interest [among college presidents] in turning college sports into the professional or semi-professional," Emmert said. He added: "I th...
John Henson And His T-Shirt Think The NCAA Is A Scam
Milwaukee Bucks forward John Henson spent three years at the University of North Carolina before jumping to the NBA, and it looks like those three years as a Tar Heel left him with a pretty solid understanding of what the NCAA is really about. You're all right, John Henson....
NBA TV Asks Couple "When's The Wedding?" Dude Responds: "Ohhh, Shit"
This is such a weird interview. In a segment featuring a couple selected as "Fans Of The Week" before the Heat-Pacers game last night, the NBA TV crew began razzing Jake Moran and questioning why his lady friend, Georgia, was with him.
