The Celtics and Grizzlies don't really have much of a
history. So with that in place, let's go with a picture of two men dressed up
like Dennis Rodman and Larry Bird (though he looks more Joe Kleine -ish
than anything) at a Grizzlies game from back in 2003.

The Celtics are among Kobe Bryant's seven 2009-2010 victims.
Through the years, there have been many different sets of data about clutch shooting . Any which way I have ever seen it sliced (last five minutes of close games to last ten seconds), as I have written on TrueHoop before, it has looked like Kobe Bryant has been a guy who shoots a ton in...

I think it's safe to say we all love the Chicago Bulls ' Brad Miller (notes) . Some of us love him for his zany celebrations , and some for his turkey shoes . Regardless of the reasons, Brad Miller is everyone's favorite player in the entire NBA. What? That's not true? It's just me and this guy ? Fair enough. You win this round, "Aaron." But have you been portraying...

Amadou Gallo Fall, pictured with Spurs general manager R.C. Buford, is heading up the NBA's new office in Johannesburg.
It's not unusual in Africa to see kids wearing David Beckham jerseys, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a pick-up game or anything emblazoned�with a Lakers or Bulls logo. Amadou Fall is the man in charge of changing that. In January, the...

A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance.

No jokes here. I just like the picture.
Bill Bradley was one of the more talented and cerebral
players we've had in this league, he's a two-time champion, and every NBA fan
should read Life

There's a lot of smiling in the early stages of "Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks." A curious amount, given how much vitriol coursed through the rivalry between the Knicks and Miller's Indiana Pacers back in the mid-1990s. Frankly, it's a bit off-putting. See, many intense, angry, tough men played on these two basketball teams, and they did not like each...

TrueHoop reader Jonathan e-mails:
Honestly, it's getting really obnoxious with you referring to to the people who study analyze basketball statistics as "geeks" or "dorks." Whether intentional or not, you bring a stigma to the people who study it and just make it sound like these people are above us and very snooty. Just read Hollinger's last article about the future of analytics and how...

Believe it or not, the guy from Counting Crows and the quarterback from the television version of "Friday Night Lights" sometimes go to Bulls games together. Why? No idea. That's like asking why Brad Miller (notes) had cornrows once. The world may never know. Best explanation wins a grey guitar . Good sha-la-la-la-la -luck. Previously, Brook loves his ball . ...

If you expect me to profoundly address the
separation of Dun and Clip in any significant way beyond what
I wrote last month when Mike Dunleavy "stepped down" as Clipper coach, you're
just going to have to be disappointed.
There's very little to report, on the analysis side.
Dunleavy's moves behind the scenes as Clipper boss made it so Los Angeles' other
NBA team made it to...
