NBA Essentials provides the must-see links, quotes and videos of the day.

* LeBron James: "I was just fascinated with being that guy that made plays down the field catching the ball man." -- The Starting Five.

* Larry Bird: "I used to love the feeling of running, of running too far. It made my skin tingle. When I used to play, if I was in my room and I was on the road, I'd just go out for a run before games. In the city. Around the parking lot. On the track. I'd run around the top of the arena." -- Esquire, via Cornrows.

* Stephon Marbury: "I would look great in a Celtics uniform." -- Timberwolves.com.

* Channing Frye is the Carlton Banks of the NBA, Julius Hodge is gunning for MVP of the Aussie league, and booing Josh Boone makes the Nets angry.
