Carlos Quintana has been associated with one thing: taking a beating from Miguel Cotto.  So when Cotto couldn't make his date with Paul Williams, he was considered a disappointing, if logical, replacement. Basically, he wasn't supposed to win. And what do you know? He did.  Now fans and media will be clawing over each other to proclaim how Quintana exposed Williams as a fraud. ...

Deron Williams and Chris Paul will be forever linked in this league. Not only because they are two of the best young guards around, but also because the Jazz had to pick between them in the 2005 draft, and they selected Williams with the third pick, letting Paul go to the Hornets at four.

Sometimes they steal something inside of you. Like what? Your pride, confidence, or self worth can be stolen. That leaves you with only two things to do. What two things?
