    Hey @KingSpeed, I'm pretty sure this guy can palm a basketball from the top:

    Look at how small Duncan's fist looks next to Boban's hands.

    I think it's just the angle of how this was shot. That river was at least 15 feet wide!

    I love these videos.

    If I could pick one guy to hangout with off the court that's on the team (this will surprise yall), it'd be Aminu. Ran into someone that works at the agency that represents Aminu in Vegas last summer. Dude had nothing but great things to say about him. Dude seems like one of the chillest and humblest players in the NBA. Dude drives me crazy sometimes but that's just basketball.

    My impression from the March 18 game:

    I think he's 7-5, not 7-3 as listed.

    So are we supposed to root for the Jazz to win or lose? What is the best way of avoiding playing them in the first round and being the 3 seed?

    Utah winning right?

    They’re playing the Lakers in Utah. Doubt that rooting will have much impact on the outcome, but I think them winning and ending up in the 5th seed is our best bet to avoid them in the first round. They scare me.

    What reason would they have to list him shorter than his actual height? I can see listing shorter players as taller but why the other way around.

    The question should be the opposite--why overlist a player. It's like pricing something at 99 cents instead of a dollar.

    John Wooden underlisted his players, to lower expectations of the opposition. Bill Walton was as tall as 7-1 Chamberlain, but wanted to be listed as 6-11 because he thought that that's the borderline between barely ordinary and freak, in the eyes of non-fans.
