There will be no Worst of the Night post, folks. There were only two games, both pretty good, and I'm suffering All-Star break letdown.
Instead, here's a different sort of treat. The RedEye -- a free daily publication put out by the Chicago Tribune -- ran a story in which various members of the Chicago Bulls recount the tale of their first dunk. And, in case you've forgotten, Brian Scalabrine and Kyle Korver both play for the Bulls.
And so...

I believe his professional teammates have historically mocked him for resembling Ashton Kutcher. Perhaps his hair has now evolved to a more Beiber-like place.
Tangentially relevant: The website Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Beiber. This exists, and these people are serious. I shit you not. I don't know what to say about it, because I think I'm just too old and confused to "get" it.
Still, the publication seems to ignore all the jumping up and down basketball players do. The effect of jogging up and down the court incorrectly might not be the greatest culprit in causing these injuries.
And why did I expect his story to be the flip-side of Korver's? "I was in sophomore year of high school and I was S-S with this guy in a game of H-O-R-S-E..."
Anyway... I hope Scal, Magloire and J. Howard get their places...
If anything Justin Bieber has "Kyle Korver hair"
Scalabrine on the other hand, no such problems.

On a serious note, it's really sad to see the decertification option being talked about this early. I was expecting those options to be explored in June, but to say it's your "one bullet"... I can't believe it really is this bad.
I need to re-evaluate my life.
He is the all-time NBA leader in trillions, with 55.
"The Secretary of Education" would be a badass nickname. Someone needs to use it.
Walton needs to get back to ESPN/TNT ASAP.
Pip could fill in SG for the Bulls, right?
West would've won if they played more Bieberball. Romeo is a blackhole chucker.
It's too bad Jordan only plays if you pay him a couple million, it'd be funny to have him and Pip on different teams.
The green screen stuff was mortifying. Eric Gordon will never live that down.
Hard to not like the guy.
my contribution comes from mister STA´´´´´T: "me and Melo?! yeah, im sure that would be great for NYCity and THE ECONOMY"..theres overstatements and then theres STA´T
I want to gouch my eyes to ever tuning that celebrity game even for just a couple of minutes, I wish Bieber will someday play in that game with any of KG,Sheed,Latrel,JR Smith,or Delonte, so that I can see him cry and shit in his pants in front of national television and millions of giggling girls after he gets whacked or something.
there I said it.
Shoes aren't really the "problem" but try taking your shoes off and then go for a walk. You'll land on your fore-foot and almost never your heel, I promise you. That's not to say you can't run properly with shoes on, it's just that you are less likely to run "naturally."
In some circles, this scientist is considered a quack. I think he's a genius, and his book changed me from a 7:40/mile 10k guy to a 6:00/mile 10k guy. Well, either his book or all the training... But maybe it is just correlation. W/E.
This guy also seems to ignore the most important factor: fatigue. Eighty-two games, plus play-offs for many players, not to mention the practice, the travel and all the high-octane fucking, these guys get wore down. As they tire, their eccentric strength and proprioception drop off dramatically.
Now, some Feldenkrais or Alexander method would undoubtedly help, but such approaches are of course no guarantee, especially since the primary problem is difficult to solve: how do you find more rest time for these guys?
