* DANA DON'T BRING BAGELS! -- Sactown Royalty
* "As far as I know, this is the 1st acting job Michael ever landed. It is a video that some North Carolina medical students did to raise awareness of Heart Disease. I just shortened the vid, so you can see MJ in all his 1983 greatness. By that I mean, his North Carolina accent is palpable. "Eat the right Foood" - NESW Sports
* "I rebounded like Dennis Rodman, wiped sweat off the floor like a janitor, and handed out water like the waterboy Adam Sandler. I was a ballboy for the Utah Jazz." -- Page 3 (via TrueHoop)
* "It is all a bit odd. Why does Lebron want to be the world renowned chalk slapper anyway? His new shoe even has a silhouette of his chalk toss on the toungue. Well that's just awesome. Can't wait to buy some Nike Chalkman branded clothing to show off to my friends." -- NBA Mate (slightly PG-13)
Five feature films now playing in the NBA, Detroit's two point guard experiment and Sasha Vujacic is Chris Paul's ... "buddy?"
