Each Day is a Lifetime, 8.5.08

Read Shoals. We report, you decide. On to the lynx:

When I read this hot Janeero Pargo rumor, my first two thoughts were "why would anyone forsake the joy and ease of playing with Chris Paul" and "dang, why won't trickle overseas let up?!?!" (BS)

No one likes Coach K, or this slobbering article, but it does more or less call him an exceptionally organized players' coach. With D'Antoni and Nate McMillian completing the staff, should that come as any surprise? The Post wants this to be TEAM PLAY at its finest, but it's important—as it was with the Celtics—that that impetus wasn't imposed from up above. (BS)





















Hold up, I thought that Stuckey's emergence made a Pistons blockbuster an option. Now it's security, obivating the need for a move. The Pistons paradox: They're hard-working and honest, except for when they're moody or touchy, and these off-season rumors—along with the bound-to-happen youth movement—could really go either way. Has a ring ever made a franchise so insecure? (BS)

Louis Williams, five years and $25 million. The key piece in Philly's future: Is he leverage against Iguodala? An attempt to make Andre Miller dispensable (which would be stupid)? Don't look now, but between Monta, this deal, and the mild C.J. Miles turf war, the combo guard finally became kosher. It also showed in this year's draft, where the "is he a point guard" question ultimately mattered little. (BS)

This video has been making the soccer blog rounds for almost a week now. It beats the hell out of that Getty Images uniform leak. (TK)

I loved Will's piece on Deadspin about how boring the olympic athletes are. This is somehow relevant to the Team USA/whether-or-not-to-speak-out topic in that these athletes are so f--king groomed to "represent their country" they can't show the slightest bit of intrigue or personality. I miss Bode Miller. (Dr LIC)



















My brother sent me this facebook group. There is a great photo of Lamar Odom in the pix section in which he is rocking some ridiculously flamboyant valet-looking red jacket. Highly questionable photo of Sticky Fingaz from Onyx in there as well. No mad face. (Dr LIC)

UPDATE:



Jordan in a 1990 Euro All-Star game. Dude has all ten parts, including the pre-game, if you feeling like braving his YouTube user page. Apologies if this has made the rounds before; I couldn't tell. (BS)
