Three days after signing his first multi-year deal in the NBA, journeyman and former face of the 10-day contract Sundiata "Sunny D" Gaines hurt his hip in a game and will miss the remainder of the season. However, that time would have been spent toiling for the Nets, so the injury could be considered a lucky break.
A more impactful injury is David West's torn ACL, which ends his season, as New Orleans tries to hold on to a playoff spot. Without West, the team's leading scorer, the Hornets seem to be headed in a different direction: south.
The Heat's holy trinity all scored 30 points apiece Sunday night in a win. Ever the egomaniacs, they're demanding ESPN make a 30-for-30 documentary about their performance. They want it to be narrated by Charlie Sheen and called, Tri-Winning.
Grant Hill, in response to disparaging comments made by Jalen Rose about their college rivalry 20 years ago, wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times. There's no truth that he used another outdated medium to respond, taking to the telegraph to transmit his thoughts or that, following Rose's remarks, Hill's pager "blew up."
A Harvard group has calculated the complete the box score from Space Jam. Next up: determining the source of the magical properties of the sneakers in Like Mike and solving how Marlon Wayans was able to see and interact with his dead friend in The 6th Man.
Stan Van Gundy compared David Stern to a dictator. Countering, Stern threatened to fire the Houston Rockets at him. Taken aback, Moammar Gadhafi pointed out that he never instituted a dress code to his people.
Several super slammers, such as Shawn Kemp and Dwight Howard, have said they were unimpressed by Blake Griffin's dunk over the hood of a Kia. to silence his critics, Griffin has vowed to jump over an Ikea. Basketball in one hand, Allen wrench in the other.
Sadly, the new Broadway play The Book of Mormon isn't about Shawn Bradley. Nor is the revival of How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying about James Dolan.
Anaheim is making an active bid for the Sacramento Kings to move to their city, where they plan to rename the team "The Mighty Dunks."
On Friday, Chris Andersen shot a perfect 7-for-7 from the field and scored 17 points in just 21 minutes. The Birdman was a little peacocky about it and started to crow.
The Nuggets are 12-4 since sending Carmelo to what he thought would be the Madison Square Garden of Eden (looks like he's taken a bite from the Big Apple), meaning the road has been anything but rocky in Denver. One Nugget believes the superstar-less squad's success is due to unselfish play. "You can be a dominant player who has dominant games and dominant moments without dominating the entire gym." That's Affalo's creed. Clearly, he's got the eye of the tiger.
A poisonous 20-inch cobra went missing from the Bronx Zoo Saturday. We think Kobe might have taken this "black mamba" thing too far. We hope he doesn't take the reptile on the road because we've seen what happens when there are snakes on a plane and frankly, our eardrums can't take more of Samuel L. Jackson's shouting.
