The Greatest NBA Game Ever? 11 hours ago | Tipped by Quickish |

REAX: "This stuff is at once mundane and life-affirming. These men are the best at what they do, and their desparation creates a remarkably graceful panic. To quote the great philosopher Rasheed Wallace, both teams played hard, and that absolute effort matched with absolute parity is what makes those seven seconds so fantastic to watch." (Josh Levin, Slate.com)

The strategy part of it, the stuff that humans can consciously decide to do, in advance -- that's a smaller part of what wins than almost anyone involved would like to admit. All these titans of hoops are on some level powerless, floating on a sea of random chance. We're arguing about the comparative quality of their rowboats and how fast they can row. Henry Abbott(via ESPN.com) , adding: "Nobody values an analyst whose conclusion is 'anything can happen.'"

In 2013, there are a bunch of other things for kids to do. Let Timmy do them. Encourage him to do them. Sports can be a nice paprika, a seasoning on life. They shouldn't be life itself. There's no need for you to be The Great Santini, trying to mold your kid into the shape you think would be best. The kid will find his own shape without you soon enough... Things happen. Take the moment that is here. Be satisfied. Leigh Montville(via SportsOnEarth.com) , just in time for Father's Day.

The greatest quote I have ever gotten and ever will get happened not in a locker room, but in the lobby of a hospital. It came from my very much in-labor wife. “Something is out,” she said. Like any good reporter, I asked a follow-up question. “What do you mean, something is out?” Matt Crossman(via SBNation.com) , with a sweet story just in time for Father's Day weekend.

So, here's LeBron James facing yet another milestone moment in his career that seems to be defined and redefined with every series, game and possession. The Heat are reeling and it's on James to deliver a performance for the ages. Paul Flannery(via SBNation.com) , on the pressure on LeBron -- and other key storylines -- heading into Game 4 tonight.
Spurs Shoot Past Heat In Game 3 1 week ago | Tipped by Quickish |

REAX: "Forget the Spurs' Big Three or the Heat's Big Three, this was about the Nearly Lost Two, a couple of shooters off the scrap heap who found a franchise that not only believed in them, but worked relentlessly to make them believe in themselves." (Dan Wetzel, Yahoo Sports)
Tebow-Patriots Reax, Cont'd 1 week, 1 day ago | Tipped by Quickish |

I love the Patriots taking the shot. It's smart. I've never bought the idea that Tebow has no value in the NFL. ... Tebow is a non-traditional quarterback, and this is a non-traditional league right now. Who saw Russell Wilson doing what he did last year? Who saw Tebow beating Dick LeBeau in the playoffs? There's little risk here for New England. It's a smart play. Peter King(via SI.com) , adding: "New England has two things the others don't, in my opinion, that made the Patriots the best landing spot for Tebow: a good second-string quarterback, and the man with the most faith in Tebow in the NFL."
Patriots Sign Tim Tebow 1 week, 2 days ago | Tipped by Quickish |

Bill Belichick loves to tweak — conventional wisdom, the media — almost as much as he loves a strategic advantage, which Tebow gives him... Belichick’s penchant for playing the percentages and going for it on 4th-and-short only makes him that much more sympatico with Tebow, who is optimized for aggressive play-calling on 4th-and-short. Dan Shanoff(via USA TODAY Sports) , adding: "Watch Belichick get Tebow 10 TDs, just to show he can."
LeBron's Confident Brilliance 1 week, 2 days ago | Tipped by Quickish |
#nba +6
James no longer plays with the burden of needing affirmation, jettisoning it when he won it all with the Heat last year. That attitude allowed him to take the calculated Spurs' game plan against him and throw in right back in their face in Game 2 with a trust and confidence reserve that is relatively new to his game. Brian Windhorst(via ESPN.com) , adding: "This is where James is at in his career. He doesn't care anymore about the risk-reward quotient. Had Splitter finished that dunk over James' late contest, he would've surely been mocked for getting shown up by a Brazilian role player hardly known for muscle. He did it anyway because that's what James does these days."
