NBA Essentials ranks our six favorite stories of the day.

1. Free Darko. Joey Litman of Straight Bangin' offers a guest sermon on NBA citizenship and allegiance to the league.

2. Lakers Blog. Kobe thinks "Redeem Team" is a "cheesy" moniker. Communist! (A communist! who makes a salient point, at least.)

3. And One. Looking at a 1893 New York Times intro to "basket ball."

4. Clips Nation. It's hard to keep up with the Clippers front office. (That's actually a good thing this summer.)

5. L.A. Times, via FD. Team USA gets a gold medal in smiling, too.

6. Deadspin. Elect Isiah! No one will ever deserve it more.
