"Why Basketball Won't Leave Phil Jackson Alone" 1 day ago | Tipped by Quickish |
#nba +5
All the rumors about Phil Jackson, and all the rumors that will inevitably replace those rumors, are consequences of one large and indisputable fact: almost every professional basketball team in the world would be happy to hire him, right this second, in almost any capacity he would like — coach, general manager, equipment manager, backup power forward. Jackson has a particular talent for stepping in where others have failed, imposing his personality and shamanistic enthusiasms, and transforming already-good teams into champions.

Inside the Oscar Pistorius Murder Case 4 days ago | Tipped by Quickish |

In the café, Botha crouched down to show me his theory of how Steenkamp may have been cowering in the toilet (a cubicle that measured 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 feet), with her arms crossed, which would account for why one bullet had gone through her fingers before entering her arm. Another bullet struck her above the right ear, and another hit her in the hip. “It does not matter where she was in that toilet, she wouldn’t have had a chance,” said Botha.

*DaveTelep: My biggest takeaway is that Wiggins made his own decision. Pops wanted FSU, family told kid to make his own choice which is refreshing (ESPN's Dave Telep)

*Kansas makes sense for Wiggins. More talent around him than FSU. Wouldn't have been focal point at KY. (UNC made sense, too.) (SI's Pete Thamel)

*There's a first for everything, so hey, maybe that includes "top Kansas recruit Bill Self develops into NBA star." (SBNation's Dan Rubenstein) *An Andrew Wiggins commitment: The best way to get over Trey Burke's three.

"At School Scrabble Nationals" 6 days ago | Tipped by Quickish |
#longish +4
Thomas and Sam and Kevin and Raymond are all good enough to compete with the grownups, and perhaps they'll beat them one day. But to become adult champions, to compete with the Joe Edleys of the world, they may have to jettison the majority of their other interests. They may have to give into the game, to let Scrabble fully colonize their minds. And who knows if that's something they or their parents want. Maybe the parents like their children to be more "normal." Drew Magary(via Deadspin) , adding: "The tournament is wrestling with a central paradox of being a parent. You want your kids to be extraordinary, but not so extraordinary that they feel as if they have no place in the world. You want them to fit in. You want them to be normal, although who the hell knows what normal really is, or if it even exists. "
"Bryce Harper: A Swing of Beauty" 1 week, 2 days ago | Tipped by Quickish |
#bryce harper +5
The origin story of Harper’s swing starts not in a lab, like some comic book hero’s superpower, but rather in his family’s garage. When his father returned home from his job as an ironworker, Harper begged him to pitch to him or feed him soft toss. Ron Harper erected a net in the garage. Bryce Harper could not fathom how many soft tosses or batting practice pitches his father threw him. “Millions,” he said. “Absolutely millions.” Adam Kilgore(via Washington Post) , with a fascinating look at Harper's swing.
