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?)

John Henson And His T-Shirt Think The NCAA Is A Scam

NBA TV Asks Couple "When's The Wedding?" Dude Responds: "Ohhh, Shit"

Dwight Howard Ate All The Sugar
There was a very odd, long story on CBS Sports earlier this week that read uncomfortably like an infomercial for "Dr. Cate" Shanahan, an inventor of a pseudo-paleodiet who's been brought on by the Lakers as a nutritional consultant.

The Heat Still Have A Roy Hibbert-Sized Problem In Indiana
Last night's Heat-Pacers game marked the first time the two teams had met since last season's Eastern Conference Finals, a thrilling seven-game series that the Pacers nearly stole by driving a mack truck with the number 55 on it through the Heat's undersized front court.
