I didn't plan on overloading the site with NBA coverage, however, after reading a couple great articles on ESPN.com about the NBA I felt I had to share them.
The first is Jordan's take on the current state of the NBA and how many view the league has changed for the worse, yet the change should be embraced, just as it was when he entered the league. Read This!
The Second is my favorite because, well, it states what I've thought for sometime now. Basically, that the "image problem" with the NBA is really false perception by uninformed fans and media, and is really based off of racial sterotyping. Makes sense when you consider how many "basketball fans" are so anti-NBA. Check it out!
The last was a nice piece by Bill Simmons about the New Orleans All Star Weekend. His normal All Star weekend piece is more a crazy story about his long weekend (which I'm not against at all- there always a great read), however this was a commentary on the state of the Crescent City and what the NBA means to it. Also touches on David Sterns impact on the NBA and his legacy. You know you love it.
Also a great piece on the real Stephen Jackson.
Lastly, a short interview with the commish, David Stern.
Seriously, this is important shit. Best NBA season in more than a decade. It gets better this week with the Shaq experiment going down in real time. So step your damn game up.
