Make sure you check out today's first post. John Rillie has already accepted his trophy, and Corey "Homicide" Williams has already challenged him at a game of HORSE for it. JR, I know a ringer if you need one.

:: LA Times: Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2008 - Pat Riley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing Sr, and Dick Vitale are the most mentionable members of a strong HOF class. Respect to everyone that made the list.

:: Blazers Edge: Plays Well With Others - Edge on WHB All Team reserve Rudy Fernandez:

Like Steve Blake he can hit a shot without having to take every one. Unlike Blake he can also get his own shot when needed. He is good when taking over a game but is also capable of laying back.

Sounds like the lyrics to that Sixx AM song, "You can't live until you've died. You can't quit until you've tried." And seriously. If someone from Motley Crue tells you that you can't live until you've died. Take that shit to the bank.

:: ESPN: Howard wants to be part of U.S. Olympic team again - Good. I want hungry players that want to wear the jersey. Should be interesting to see how Captain Colangelo selects the players for the 2012 squad.

:: Inside Hoops: Cousin says Marbury is selfish - Astronomer says sky is blue, fireman say fire is hot and scuba diver says water is mad yet. We'll keep you posted on these hot developments.

:: FIBA: Iran face Kazakh test in final - FIBA pool writer gives quality report on FIBA Asia U18 Championships. Iran & Kazakhstan qualify for next year's U19 Men's World Championship. Good job, boys.

:: Fanhouse: Did Manu Lose a Contract in Beijing - San Antone suspended contract extension talks until after his surgery. Hopefully Manu Manu will come back 100% and get paid. Make that paper, son.

:: Slam: Killer on the Loose (vid) - Matt Caputo talks to the Notorious 187. Currently representing the Boogie Down Bronx in Townsville. Homicide talks about Dykman Park getting him his shot with the Raptors, busting Ron-Ron's ass and being the first non-NBA player with a signature shoe deal, courtesy K1X.
