John Wall's assisted on 40+% of Ariza's baskets, which is the highest rate in the league between two teammates.Also, part of it may be the amount of time they spend on the floor together, but yeesh, New Orleans seems to have some iso going on.
Asked if President Obama could make the roster of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant said almost immediately, "yes, he could, actually," Sports Illustrated reports.Said Bryant: "That's not a diss to the current roster that we have, its more of a sign of respect of the skill that the president possesses."

If Lebron can get the Heat to overtake the Pacers for the 1 seed I could see Lebron winning it again, but I'm sure Lebron will be playing fewer and fewer minutes the closer we get to the middle of April.It's not close to neck and neck.

Just realized I don't actually hate LeBron anymore.Making peace with the fact that he's going to surpass Kobe's legacy, and that even if he retired tonight, lots of analysts would argue that he's already done so, took a lot of the edge off.
The Sixers and Bucks should probably both be penalized a substantial percentage of their ping pong balls because it would help the Lakers.

Quote from: Your Stalker on March 26, 2014, 02:07:59 PMhow often does the worst team get the first pick though?The worst team has won the NBA Draft Lottery three times in 24 tries.Over the last 20 years, only three of those top picks have won rings: LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and Glenn Robinson.The second little factoid was in a Grantland article today.
