SVG to TNT

If Bernard King was never the best player in the league at any given time, he was the most powerfully adored.

Spencer Dinwiddie Among The NBA's Investing Class

It's impossible to tell at this point whether players such as Spencer Dinwiddie are establishing a new way of handling money that will become a more widespread trend, or if investing in tech is just the late 2010s version of starting a record label, a misguided indulgence that will pass and become a cautionary tale for future generations of NBA stars.

Thirty Histories: Utah Jazz

by Colin McGowan

If Greg Ostertag is remarkable, it is for representing the stark limits of Jazz fans' capacity to appreciate players who looked like them. They wanted him to be Mark Eaton, and they would have exalted him had he cleared that relatively low bar.

Stan can be funny, so I look forward to seeing him call games.

I've been disappointed in him so far. It's like he doesn't want to offend anyone because he still wants to coach.
