I was having a highly classified discussion with someone recently who had a highly classified conversation with an advance scout.  He got a chance to look at all of the stuff that goes into being an advanced scout… including all of the minute details that are logged about every player this person sees. So I [...]

That's Rajon Rondo making a trip to Germany to visit wounded soldiers (h/t CelticsBlog).  He's awesome.  As usual, I'll point your attention to the mitts…which, when he shakes someone's hand, wrap around the recipient's hand about 4 or 5 times like an octopus tentacle.  Other things that will distract you from your workday. I explain [...]

I admit, I’m a little tardy on the posting of our latest episode of the 8th seed.  It was recorded last week, as training camps opened up.  We talked a little bit about our respective teams… we got into the Delonte West absence. The bombshell of the show came early when Glenn Moore declared his [...]

Marcus Thompson of the Contra Costa Times is going public with the trade rumor involving Golden State's Stephen Jackson and Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA title was….. ……………… Hmmm… they don't seem to be on the list.  I should take a different approach to start this post. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in the finals so many times they…….. Huh?  Just once?  Really? Then why the hell are they printing and [...]

It's pretty much a done deal.  Russia's richest man, Mikhail Prokhorov, is going to buy an 80% controlling interest in the New Jersey… soon to be Brooklyn… Nets. Suddenly… the "It makes the most sense for LeBron to stay in Cleveland" thing might not apply as much as it used to. The guy is worth [...]

Delonte West has been arrested on weapons charges. “According to the police report, West was charged with at least two counts of handgun on person, and for driving the vehicle in excess of reasonable and prudent speed. He was pulled over on his motorcycle in Upper Marlboro, Md. on I-495. WUSA, a television station in [...]

Via Ain't It Cool News: Dr. J had THE FISH THAT SAVED PITTSBURGH, Michael Jordan had SPACE JAM, and Shaquille O'Neal had BLUE CHIPS… then KAZAAM… then STEEL… then the Congressional Medal of Honor.
