I'm buying it.

Um...the story, that is. Maybe the book, too. ;)

Speaking of books Bill Simmons' Basketball is on sale at Amazon for $12
It is a new release and would make a nice Christmas gift for someone

He ranks the 96 best NBA players in history and here is his top 10

1. Jordan
2. Russell
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Bird
6. Wilt
7. Tim Duncan
8. Jerry West
9. Oscar Robertson
10. HAKEEM OLAJUWON

Is Duncan really 3 spots better than Hakeem? He has double the rings and double the MVP awards but I would pick Dream over Timmy any day.

Who would win if #1-#5 played #6-#10?

Bill vs Wilt
Magic vs West
Bird vs Duncan
Kareem vs Hakeem
Jordan vs Oscar
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

maybe the publishing company is owned by a company whose major shareowner is stern.

yeah....stern will buy the rights to it and burn the original. Then Donaghy's story will never be told. You gotta admit, that Stern guy is pretty smart.

Donaghy was on the Matt & Adam Show on 790 this morning. In regards to the Yao/Mavs situation from a few years back, when Matt asked him if this was a situation where "when there's smoke there is fire" Donaghy replied that it was "more like a blaze."

He says that he goes into a lot of detail on this situation in his book, and points out that Rockets fans who watched that series will feel vindicated after reading about it.
