Joel Kimmel agreed to answer some questions and
share some art. You remember Joel. He's the artist
working on the series of NBA players set in locations designed to reflect who they are...
And One's Carolyn tells the story of how
two young men from the Cleveland, Ohio area invented
the legendary Man of Steel. Carolyn also leaves open the possibility that Kal-El was not the last Son of Krypton, it just might be a certain Baller who wears a Wine & Gold uniform and goes by the initials LBJ
Real Clear Sports made me laugh out loud
this morning: LeBron's Casual Encounter With The Bush's Michael
Abramowitz of The Washington Post wrote an interesting piece on President Bush and his father, former President George HW Bush. George Bush Senior...
Sneaker-shod, socks or bare, put your feet up.
Sole Junkie is in the blog. Artist, innovator, blogger;
there's nothing more appealing than an all round nice guy with a vision.
The collective patience of the Hong Kong LEGO
User Group (HKLUG) is stunning. I tangled with LEGOs
once or twice. Squares and rectangles in my hands, I made larger squares and rectangles. Brightly colored, yet sorely lacking in creativity. Constructing a miniature LEGO Beijing Olympic? Ridiculous. Not possible. Additional geometric configurations would be required.

Reading Cages to Jumpshots by Robert W. Peterson
is an amazing journey. Here's a taste: [James A.]
Naismith was as surprised as anyone at basketball's burgeoning popularity. Until his death, November 28, 1939, Naismith was a regular at University of...
If you don't have summer plans, you do
now. And if you do have summer plans, they
just changed. Welcome to Court Rivals, my vote for best new Web site of 2008. The site is beautiful, easy to navigate, and lets the user build a basketball team of their own. Yeah, you heard it here first. Build your own basketball team. (Interview with Kevin Kazimir) ...

What about this new game - basket ball?
How is it played? Where is it played? These
were questions the New York Times set out to answer in November of 1893, when basket ball (as it was spelled then) was...
When a team wins by 30 points Monday
and loses by 30 points Thursday, it's not about
basketball. It might be about catcalls of "overrated," flagrant fouls, Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, the future of hip-hop and the American recording industry, who does or does not like who, The Big Trade, and a nightclub called Love. But it's not about basketball.

Save a life without spending a penny. Nothing
But Net has partnered with the NBA to raise
public awareness and honor World Malaria Day, April 25th. Go to their Web site, have fun playing an online game where you grab nets off a truck and deliver them to a village; after you finish playing, enter your name and e-mail address and an actual physical net will be sent to Africa on your behalf.
LeBron is all about speed and power; sometimes
that spills over into places where discretion is the
better part of driving. LB will never be caught driving that fast again; at least not while the Akron police are driving these ...
Nothing says "the cold war is so over,"
like watching Bucknell Holden shine on the Russian Olympic
team. In Shanghai. Couldn't shake the "remember to e-mail plot idea to Tom Clancy - American team made up of superstar millionaire ballers plays Russian basketball team led by American ex-Super 10 star in communist China" feeling.
Checked in with Beijing Olympic Fan today to
see what's new and learned: [...] the weirdest event

"I heard Cleveland has an ABA team," says
Game Buddy #2. "No, no," I say. "Cleveland never
had a team in the ABA." "A new team," says GB2. "Or at least that's what I heard." "Google," I murmured, "don't fail me now...
I've seen many, many basketball games but never
anything like this . . last night . .
