Sports 4 Dorks

A look around the league and the web that covers it.
It’s also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren’t

With Rod Strickland becoming Director
of Student-Athlete Development at Memphis,
WIZZNUTZZ
is diagramming just how this will affect the student body’s sausage

Shawn Marion had only three shots in last night’s loss to the Timberwolves,
partially because Al Jefferson couldn’t guard a cloth cap at this point, so big
Amare got all the looks. Mike D’Antoni? "It’s energy. The ball finds energy." It makes
sense that Marion
has to work hard to get himself open and available for passes, but three shots?
It’s also my duty to remind you that the Suns are tied for the top seed in the
Western Conference right now.
SF: Philadelphia
Magazine. An engaging look at the madness that is Larry Brown.
SG: 100%
Injury Rate. If you’re besotted with nostalgia (check) and obsess over
ancient video games (two for two), then this is your link of the day: a look
back at NBA video games of yore.
PG: Sports Illustrated. NBA
players would rather play for Phil Jackson, and Mike D’Antoni, above all. Well,
they tied, but still. The secret weapon? The mustache.

Post. Lamenting the loss of NBA nicknames. A great read if just for the
chance to put this song in
your head all day.

Jack McCallum knows what he’s talking about, and today he’s talking about all
30 NBA teams.
8^th: Yahoo!
Sports. Kobe Bryant, gritting his teeth, telling you that everything’s
A-OK.
9^th: The
Blowtorch. Awesome, random, and completely true fact about Antoine Wright.
10^th: The Sporting
News. Leaking the NBA All-Star unis.
