Gilbert Arenas Can't Stop Shooting
Via Mr. Irrelevant, we present this picture of Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas, who had a rather nuts battle with Boston's Paul Pierce last night. (Pierce hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer.)...

See? We Didn't Make It Up
Whew. Don Nelson really was there. Thank God. We honestly feared our brain might have gone bye-bye there for a moment....

Yes, You Did See Don Nelson At The Oscars
To answer your question, yes, we did watch the Oscars last night, and since we think Crash is aggressively awful, we weren't going to bring it up today....

Manute Bol, Being Boxed Again
Remember earlier this month, when we spotlighted former NBAer Manute Bol and his heroic efforts to shed light on the horrors currently going on in Darfur? Well, we still think his cause is noble, but some new news has us less convinced about him....

Darko, Freed and Shorn
You see that? Gone are the frosted sissy-locks of the old Darko. The new Darko has a buzzcut. It's not just a new style. It's symbolic. Military. High and tight. Bad ass. Oozing masculinity. That is the hairstyle of a man who will not be stopped....

We were sent the following video from a fellow named Mr. Jones, claiming that Nets guard Vince Carter is shown frollicking in Cancun. If one can classify this activity as "frollicking." We will say that our vacation was nothing like this at all....

A Penny For Your NBA Thoughts
As the NBA trading deadline looms, it will be hard to top the big trade that brought Steve Francis to New York — thus insuring an NBA championship for the Knicks next season (just kidding, they're doomed).

We can't even have an All-Star Saturday Night without officiating controversy anymore.

A Differing View On Davis' Trip Into The Stands
Deadspin reader Tom Malkin was in a section right by Antonio Davis' wife during the incident at the United Center last night, and he has a very different take on what actually happened prior to Davis' stomp upstairs. Here's an excerpt:...
