Pacers-Knicks and the Legacy of Reggie Miller
Wow. What a movie. A great documentary by Dan Klores. This movie was really special towards Pacers fans, and come on some of you Knick fans: you know you probably kind of liked that movie, too.

Hey, Trevor Ariza…How does my ARTEST taste?
As a Lakers fan, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Trevor Ariza for two reasons: 1) He played a significant role in the Lakers winning the NBA Championship, and 2) He just played an even more significant role in better positioning the Lakers for a repeat in 2010.
For all intents and puposes, Ariza just traded himself to Houston in exchange for Ron Artest. Okay, so it was twin free agent moves and not a trade, but it worked out the same way. Ariza balked at the $5.6 Mil/year mid-level exception offer to stay with the Lakers (Then, “Mr Insulted” agrees to sign with the Rockets for $5.8 Mil/year…HUH???).
