For the Winfrey

In basketball, "the Big O" has always referred to Oscar Robertson*, but it might soon be used in regard to Oprah, who has expressed interest in buying the Clippers (Gayle would prefer she pursue the Kings). There could be competition from other celebrities; Floyd Mayweather, for instance, who we think has a puncher's chance of purchasing the franchise. Knowing Oprah, talks could go on for awhile (pausing periodically for breaks). It makes sense that the proprietor of a TV network wants to OWN a basketball team (we can hear the crowd chanting "Oprah-rah").

Mo' money, chemo problems: Adding injury to insult, the NY Post reports Donald Sterling has prostate cancer (on the bright side, his lifetime ban may not last so long). We hope it can be removed as easily as he was (are any of Adam Silver's siblings oncologists?).

Off with his headline: The Oklahoman published a piece on Kevin Durant Thursday titled, "Mr. Unreliable." The sports editor already apologized, but our takeaway is that even Midwesterners put-downs are polite. Still, if that's how they view Durant, they have the vision of Mr. Magoo.

They see him lint-rolling, they hatin': Drake has a clean image and perhaps that's because he's more focused on britches than bitches. Cameras caught the Canadian cleaning his chinos courtside during game two of the Raptors-Nets series. After the attention his hygiene habit received, 1,200 of the groomers were given away to Toronto fans Wednesday by the team. True to his lyrics, "he started from the bottom"...of his pants.

*what were you picturing, perverts?
