Best of the (basketball) net: Short-but-Sweet edition

October 18, 2009

Though we only have a few hits from the cybersphere this weekend, most of them are quite substantial and well worth a bit of your time on Sunday. Happy reading, everyone!

Oh, Oscar!

Oh, Oscar!

Awesome, with a capital *AWESOME* is heinnews’ interview with Oscar Robertson, actually undertaken during the Eurobasket 2009 on the eve of the Big O’s induction into the FIBA Hall of Fame.

If Talk Basket and LRytas.lt are correct, FIBA (and notably Team Russia) are about to bring a whole new meaning to the team “wild cards.” Who has €750,000 to pay for potential glory in Turkey?

The big network, among others, makes it official: Stephon Marbury will sit out season. Of course, everyone should have known this would be the case when not even Olympiacos offered a token €1 million or two. Ah well, this’ll give the fallen Starbury a chance to, you know, really let it all hang out on UStream.TV.


Anybody remember Dream Team II? The Hoop Doctors do…

And speaking of Team USA studs, who does LeBron James want to dunk on most? The answer may surprise you. (Hint: It’s not Jordan Crawford.)

Finally, more proof that science-fiction is now the argot of the dominant paradigm: Here’s an ad from the brand spankin’ new Adidas ad campaign, “Derrick Rose gets faster.” (Although he seems pretty mellow in this commercial.) Enjoy the sneaker porn.
