Thanks to the complete and total lack of NBA-related news, this is one of the few chances for a lacktion ledger regular like Royal Ivey to be interviewed by Jonathan Abrams for an article on Grantland. He's going back to school like Rodney Dangerfield! (Except he's, you know, still alive.)
Some highlights:
“I actually just signed papers to become an undergraduate-student coach, so I’ll be helping out this year.”Huzzah! He's teaching the next generation of players how to effectively fill out an NBA roster by having a career average of 3.5 points per game. That's important. Someone's gotta be that guy who plays for five teams in six years. (Well, assuming we ever see another NBA game played in our lifetimes.)
Grantland:Do you get any double takes from students or teacher by being in class again?"Seriously? You think people recognize me? Even I don't know what I look like! I always have to carry around this GQ article Profile in Obscurity about me!"

I'm going to develop lack-o-laction syndrome by christmas. It will be a shit state of affairs altogether.
And yeah, I'm already getting lacktion withdrawls. Starting to think I may need to find some way to keep us entertained with crappy virtual basketball when NBA 2K12 comes out in a few weeks...
from the aove mentioned GQ article. it sounds like an insult for anyone who wants to play ball...
Someone takes the time to wrinkle up a giant, shiny, gray sheet for your photo shoot backdrop.

This is truly bawful.
Long time reader, first time poster.
About what you said before in regards to the 2K12 entertainment,
I'd love to see some more of that personally, and I thought the 2010 Null-Stars Game that you guys did with 2K10 was pretty entertaining.
As we all know by now, virtual basketball can be pretty bawful.
Just throwin' in my two cents to help with the ideas, so all of us Basketbawful fans can get through the lockout.
So go out, shoot some ball, grow a lockout beard and watch Space Jam on NBA TV.
...Wait.
This roster puts 2010's to shame.
Eastern Null-Stars have Wafer, Scalabrine and Joel Anthony.
...Bawful. Just bawful.
