Best of the (basketball) net: Food-and-retro edition

November 15, 2009

For your edification and amusement, Ball in Europe presents seven stories, interviews, blog entries and whatnot definitively worth a little of your time on a Sunday. Read on, compliments of us and a bunch of hard-working writers out there.

Meanwhile, Byron Russell is apparently still stinging from Michael Jordan’s infamous remarks regarding the former Utah Jazzman at no. 23’s infamous Hall of Fame induction speech in September.
