Vince Carter Getting "Freaky?"

Michigan Fans, Photoshop, and You

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).
