Melo's Suspension Is Bad Business for the NBA

With the 2008-09 NBA schedule coming out today, bits and pieces have started to leak, including the goofball opening night epic Nuggets/Jazz. But the real news in that Denver Post item is that, as is so often the case with NBA players, Carmelo Anthony will have to wait a few days for his season to start: Anthony will not play against the Jazz or in the Nuggets' second game of the season as he serves a suspension for his April arrest on a drinking-and-driving charge. He pleaded guilty in June to ...

How Many Sobriety Tests Must Paul Pierce Pass?

TMZ lit up email boxes this morning with the dubious tip that an NBA star -- greatest player in the world Paul Pierce -- had been pulled over in Las Vegas last night for suspected DUI. The hook: Pierce passed three field sobriety tests and was released on the spot by the police. Instead of getting back behind the wheel, Pierce stuck his car in valet and got a cab. A few sports blogs ran with it, with one intrepid fellow even suggesting -- without merit -- Pierce had been stoned. (We're definitel...

Have you been watching the ongoing Team USA documentary "Road to Redemption?" (If not, you can catch up on Nike's website.) Watching the first two episodes, and then following recent action against Turkey and Lithuania, I have tremendous optimism that this team will play well enough to win gold. Dedication Coach Krzyzewski talks, at one point, about playing "exquisite basketball." That's a high-level word. A lot of coaches talk about playing hard. And hard is a huge part of it.

Don't Set Your NBA-to-Euro Defection Alerts to Code Orange Just Yet

The world really, really doesn't need another Euro crisis post. However, this passage in YNetNews opened up a lot of doors in my mind, at least with regard to international players returning to basketball's Second World: "[Carlos] Delfino will make more than Manu Ginobili", says his agent, Alessandro Barbalich. "Carlos, like others, was a little frustrated from time to time. He is a versatile player who can do a lot on the court, but in many cases he was given defensive missions and played 15 mi...
