Pop, the music critic: "If you can't dance to it, it's not music." I think I agree.

Loud rap music from Grizz weight room pumping thru walls during Pop pregame presser. Pop: "This is one of the things that helps you retire."

For Made's & his cohorts' information, Kareem did not dominate last 2 seasons, especially--14.6/10.1P ...6.0/4.5R. Similar playoff numbers.

Lionel Hollins says he'll stick w/ same lineup. Only change: Donte Green active instead of Austin Daye.

Champions League Final 2day. One of the great days in sports. And when that theme song starts up, the hairs on the back of the neck stand up

A Saturday morning pitch for our FB page. Good spot for news, updates, etc. BK ow.ly/lovU3

Today, Dickey is looking Ned Starkish. 3-0 Orioles.

That 2000 comeback over Portland jumpstarted Phil's success in LA. Tex was stunned by it, by their first Lakers title. Hadn't seen it coming

Watching the replay of George's dunk. Reggie missed a chance at a nice call when he said Click, Click but failed to follow up with Boom.

Curious is BShaw's great role in the 2000 comeback against Portland. Amazing Dr. Buss didn't try to divine some of that luck by hiring him

As they watched George dunk on phones there were "Birdman! Birdman!" calls in confident Pacer locker room last night: espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/…

There's no question hard work+preparedness help drive the good fortune of @PhilJackson11. But that comeback against Portland in 2000? #eerie

I don't think anything else I do today will make me smile more than watching this video: youtube.com/watch?feature=…

We're seeing a kinder, gentler @PhilJackson11 but no doubt once the ball is tossed up his trademark cutthroat competitiveness will reemerge

New York Diamond League being held at a track that looks a bit like Meadowbank with better grass. Weather Edinburgh-esque too.

YES R.A. DICKEY GAME OF THRONES INTRO YES

Those who have coached with him also marvel at the role that pure, unadulterated luck has played in the rise of @PhilJackson11.

Hello, Memphis. Now get me some BBQ, stat.

As an old friend pointed out the obvious to me, @PhilJackson11 wants a "Pat Riley type gig. He's making a lot of amends in this book."

Stat to watch: in G2, Grizzlies shot 39% in paint and converted just 2 of 16 second chance rebound opportunities. Must convert those to win!

It's no secret I've had my own conflicts with @PhilJackson11. He was certainly generous to me in his book.

What has made @PhilJackson11 humbler? Getting away from the game. Renewed spirituality. Even being denied by Jim Buss prolly played a role

Building strength, improving on D, & a new-look offensive gm for @Tyson Chandler. Summer plans for the big man on.knicks.com/10RwpG6

In his book, @PhilJackson11 made amends with a lot of people—John Bach, George Mumford, Tex Winter. Phil erased old conflict from his life.

George Mumford: the mistake people make with the triangle is to look at it as Xs+Os. It's an organizing principle that builds team success

Women's friendly. Great Britain 33-28 Israel HT

Old friends are seeing @PhilJackson11 as a profoundly changed man, far humbler, and they see his book as an indication of that.

The 2013 #NBA Draft’s Most Athletic Big Man: po.st/qcGuPm

"@Play_NAIA: A view of the #NAIAWorldSeries opening ceremonies http://t.co/HujggGCuNr" A thrill to be there. Great host city #eraubaseball

#Celtics predraft workouts today: PGs Pierre Jackson, Myck Kabongo, Phil Pressey, Shane Larkin, Centers Steven Adams, Gregory Echenique

So, probably Wall-George-Monroe in some order. Clippers will regret passing (for Aminu) for years.

Where's the Melo "heart of a lion" commentary on Twitter? Dude never cries wolf.

#Pacers radio announcer Mark Boyle rips #HEAT fans at end of Game 2 sbn.to/14NwX4s

Melo's torn labrum was the most underreported and talked about injury in #NBA history #knicks

So, of you re-draft the 2010 draft, Paul George goes first, right? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NBA_…
