Welcome to our top ten stories of the week! This is the first installment of what we hope to be a long and fruitful collection of interesting and important stories around the Association and its environs.1. Obama helps navigate many, many bills/treaties through congress, and Collins gushes again. Doesn't he play basketball too?
2. Larry Brown "retires".
3. Big A.J. records a career high in blocks and the Jazz manage to hold Kevin Love to under 20 rebounds. No LeBron treatment, because A.J. is no LeBron.
4. The Celtics do nothing but win, despite missing half of their team. Anyone think that they can win 70?
5. Kobe Bryant's knee fluid receives what many consider long-overdue recognition.
6. Coach Sloan moves up in most all-time wins and attributes it to anyone and anything but his steady coaching.
7. Freedarko manages in one paragraph, literally, to mention "capitalism", "undeniable racial tension", "rags-to-riches-trajectory", and "American tropes". What prompted the authors to combine every major theme of their blog at once? An analysis of the tense relationship between James and Wade, as evidenced by two sentences the stars spoke to each other in the locker room.
8. In their defense, check out this tremendously entertaining video of JaVale McGee, particularly the last 15 seconds.
9. Carmelo appears to be a goner. Prokhorov takes another step toward world domination through basketball.
10. Dinosaurs: don't call it a comeback.
