Rillie, we're officially not talking anymore. Ever. And if you want to know why, I'll refer you to the vid at the bottom of the post. That gets a serious WTF, Mate? For real. I think I burned a retina. Somebody grab me my Kurt Rambis glasses so I can run the Skip Pass.

:: CBC: NBA rookies Chalmers, Arthur expelled from orientation program - I skipped this story yesterday because I abhor police blotter news. But Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were busted with weed and chicks in their room. They were expelled from the four day program which educates NBA rookies in area of life skills, image, character and handling finances (emphasis mine).

:: ESPN: Spurs' Ginobili has surgery on left ankle ligament - Manu Manu's surgery was a success. He'll be on a set of training wheels for three weeks and reevaluated before he can resume basketball activities.

:: Mercury News: New report casts more doubt on Ellis’ story–It’s time to come clean, Monta - Monta. Come on, dog. It's not like you got busted with trees and hoes in your hotel, son.

:: SLAM Online: OKC Thunder it is - Oklahoma City's first big-4 professional squad continues to dunk itself in a vat of weak sauce. ESPN is reporting that among the other names trademarked by OKC were Wind, Barons, Marshalls, Energy and Bison. The OKC Barons? I guess "White Stockings" was a little too stodgy for them.

:: Basketball 24/7: ACHARA BACK FOR O2 GAME - After a little perpetrating from Pallacenestro Cantu, Scottish born Kieron Achara will be availble to Team GB for this weekend's match against the Czechs. Pallacenestro had illegally withdrawn Achara from Eurobasket, but with FIBA's help, he was reinstated on today. Maybe the last piece?

:: Safsal: Shafir Leaves for Toledo - Israel's top U18 player is coming to America to play for Toledo's (Div I) women's squad. Naama Shafir jumped on a plane for a long ass flight fresh off a U18 European Championship Div B scoring title. That's a long damn title. Good luck, kid.

Now, John. What the hell is going on in this video, mate? Do I see Brian Bosworth in that "let's pass the ball all around the city" segment? Really, I haven't got a clue where to start with this video. But I'm just glad Jim McMahon didn't put down 16 bars on this.
