FULFILLING OUR ANNUAL QUOTA FOR BASKETBALL-RELATED COMMENTARY IN ONE POST THAT TOOK AS MUCH EFFORT AS LARRY KING'S USA TODAY COLUMN: Four items for you:
  • Even if you think he's generally gone too heavy on pop culture and recurring jokes, today's Bill Simmons NBA column surveying the season is just a remarkably smart read. When he focuses on the sport itself, he's as good as King and Pasquarelli on the NFL or the Prospectus crew on baseball.
  • Phil Jackson, I think Mark Cuban's calling you out.
  • Okay, so I saw a decent chunk of Duke-NC last night. I have no idea if JJ Redick's going to be able to get his shot off in the NBA, but he sure as hell did last night. Wow.
  • Quick trivia question, the answer to which Isaac and I are shocked: are there any players remaining in the NBA who played on any of the six Bulls championship teams? Name 'em.
