“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” – John F.

I won’t waste your time outlining the evidence that Performance Enhancing Drug use may exist in the NBA.

Finally, James “Flight” White is back in the NBA, signing a 10-day contract with the Houston Rockets this week. Just so you appreciate the importance of that signing, I give you his winning dunks from the 2008-09 NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest.
Clash of the Titans, sort of: Italy v. Brazil at Emirates Stadium
