    'Loose Balls' is quite possibly my favorite book of all-time.

    Does anyone know what Wojnarowski is referring to here?

    "They don't forget how one of Stern's top public-relations officials went out of her way to try to dissuade an NBA team owner from hiring a well-regarded Spurs executive as general manager. And they don't forget that once that executive got the job, she went out of her way to try to undermine his operation."

    Am curious.

    Aside from the whole Stern-Spurs thing and the Lakers' drama, what else is there to get excited about in an NBA regular season?

    Good luck convincing an agenda-obsessed megaegomaniac like Stern of this. And an excellent piece by Woj.

    Kobe just joined the 30,000-point club.

    Kareem. Malone. Jordan. Wilt. Kobe.

    Word is Friday's game against Cleveland is a long shot but Rubio's getting close. Now, if the Wolves could make some free throws.

    Love especially. Christ. I guess you can blame the hand but his FTs are really bad right now.

    Speaking of, interesting piece on LeBron's free throws, being his one remaining weakness.

    His FT shooting has always been weak compared to most of the perimeter greats in NBA history but it's below 65 percent this year.

    I never knew that, but the Dr. is not in the same league of Kareem, Wilt and Kobe. Neither is the Mailman.

    Dr. J is certainly in the same league as Kobe. Dr J has a better career FG%, the style of play, even in the ABA, didn't call for as many 3 pointers as today. Their career ppg avg is seperated by less than 1.5 points per game. DrJ has more defensive rebounds than Kobe has total rebounds, over 5000 more rebounds in a career that been about as long. Kobe has a slight edge in assists. DrJ was a better defensive player and not just because he has 25% more steals and 3 times more blocked shots.

    Kobe has a signficant advantage in quality teammates over his career.

    Whatever league Kobe is in, Dr. J is playing in it too.

    Indeed. Dr. J was Jordan before Jordan.

    The dunk on Michael Cooper is legendary, but this one might have been better. White dude tried going up to block this shit.
