First off, the other day when I posted Artested Development, I thought I was being an uberclever genius. Turns out I was not the first genius to think of that clever title.
LeBron is "back," which in itself is misleading as it suggests he was not balling all year, and everyone's jumping back on board. I'd love to hear what Kevin Brewer thinks after Bronny single handedly owned the Pistons last night. The thing to notice is the double doubles posted by Z and Gooden. It was Z's first in a month and Goodie's first in 3 weeks. When Bronson's better the Cavs are better, 'cause the only way to stop him is to throw all 5 guys in his way and hope whoever he dishes to misses an open shot (or Bron goes to the line, and your %s are similar).
Shaqalacka sticks it in and breaks it off on the Bulls. Let's see, a 33-14 fourth quarter against one of the best defensive teams in the league... Yeah Shaq's really fallen off...
Taiwanese ballers show 'Melo how to not be a puss.
Big dude in a Uruguayan league knocks a ref unconscious. And then a bunch of idiots take off their shirts as if that's really gonna unshatter this poor guy's jaw.
Basketbawful takes Scoop Jackson to task on this much ballyhooed Top 10 Centers list.
Adrian Wojnarowski thinks Kobe could've, and should've, drawn a bigger suspension. And then flatly states that Kobe could whoop Jaric's ass... which everyone, even Jaric, can agree on.
Haven't seen this in a while, but it's still freakin' awesome.

Oh Hell Yeah: Greatest Centers Ever
From ESPN's Daily Dime, a sick list of the greatest big men to rock the court. Just reading the accolades for this list makes your mouth water. I think I might agree 100% with this list, which, in itself, is an achievment; I never agree with anything. Maybe I'd shuffle the rankings a bit, for statistical dominance and longevity, I'd probably slide David Robinson in ahead of Walton. But I may be biased by how much I hate Walton as a commentator. While we're at it, I just don't quite like the feeling of putting any names ahead of sports' greatest champion, Bill Russell. His numbers pale in comparison to Wilt's and Kareem's. But 11 championships, 2 as player/coach, is just obscene. He's the greatest, and the proof is in the pudding; he pounded Chamberlain every time. Read this sweet bit about a playoff run in his 2nd to last year:
After four games, the Celtics were trailing 1-3. However, they rallied to win the next two games, and in Game 7, Russell so out-psyched his perennial rival, that Chamberlain only attempted two shots in the entire second half. Despite this, the Celtics were leading only 97-95 with 34 seconds left when Russell closed out the game with several consecutive clutch plays.
That's what we call domination. Other than that, this list is sublime...
