NBA Essentials: Kobe Bryant Channels His Inner Sam Cassell
I know we're a little Kobe Bryant-heavy today, but bear with me for just one more tidbit. Fast forward about one minute into this video, where Kobe hilariously steals a page from Sam Cassell's celebratory playbook, right after hitting the go-ahead three-pointer against the Spurs. You won't be disappointed.
* Stephen Malkmus – lead singer and founder of the classic indie-rock band Pavement -- speaking to RotoWorld: "My wife gets pissed when I'm on the waiver wire or live scoring on the computer when I'm cooking dinner...but it's better than internet porn, right??? - especially during dinner!" - Deadspin
* An exchange on the Howard Stern show, where Artie Lange is speaking with the alleged girlfriend of Devin Harris:
Artie: Do you live here with Devin?
Meghan: No, but I come here every week or every other week.
Artie (snicker): Do you think he's cheating on you?
Meghan: No (you can hear her big smile), he loves me, he wouldn't do that.
Artie (laughter): Whatever. - The Big Lead
* The Hornets inbounded, moved the ball 94 feet, and made a bucket in under two seconds. If two teams could keep that up all game, they'd head into overtime tied at 1,440. - TrueHoop
* The Blazers are bribing journalists, Amare Stoudemire says he plays "tenacious defense," and Luke Walton: Dead Head.
