... but steals are worthless. Then it should be the case that games in which Allen Iverson gets more rebounds, his +/- is higher than in games that he gets fewer rebounds, but getting more steals should have no effect on +/-. Replicate this across a large number of teams and players, and you should have a powerful test of these statistical measures' validity." Oh man, everyone think good thoughts for CelticBlogger Jeff Clark, who is now sans appendix. There are campaigns going to get various players elected to the All-Star ...

Tebow’s girl? I have no idea. No one does, but he still wears jorts.

Mock Roddy White. My favorite is “More Land Mines.”

... Our good friends over at Yardbarker are personally working to show how the devout self-importance of bloggers can be galvanized into actual populist politic. To wit, let’s rock the vote, bitches! Forget about China. We got Tha Bay, fool! If everyone in our golden megalopolis would just take a three-minute drop in personal productivity in exchange for putting Boom Dizzle in at one of the starting guard slots, he’ll be like one one-hundredth of the way to Yao Ming’s vote total. ...

(All-Star) Baron Davis nailed a monster 3-pointer with 16.8 seconds to play as Golden State roared from behind in the final minutes to snap a nine-game losing streak to LA with the 108-106 W.

Kevin Garnett Leads All-Star Voting With Same Stats as Zach Randolph

... Yao leads Western Conference centers (813,305).
No real surprises here, and the only position where it seems some serious debate could take place is at the guard spot in the West. After Kobe and T-Mac, we have Nash and Iverson separated by less than 12,000 votes. Baron Davis and Chris Paul both have embarrassingly low vote totals, despite their stellar play this season and the existence of voting campaigns to get them noticed.
Now back to the issue of KG. It's not that Garnett doesn't ...
