Wow…college is tougher than it used to be…http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/george_dohrmann/08/08/montana.state/index.html

This is a very, very, very big dude…http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070808/ap_on_re_eu/ukraine_tallest_man_2


Oh my, Kevin McHale interview here…http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_6577691?nclick_check=1

My favourite exchange from this interview:

BS: Did you try to get K.G. to be more physical? Is that an area of his game that he never gave you, and you hoped he would?

KM: Kevin is such a gifted player. He rebounds like he's 8 feet tall. But he plays offense like he's 6-4. That was the game that was best suited for him.

A backhanded slap in the face for sure…

Oh boy, Cheryl is thinking comeback…"I'm always flattered when my name is mentioned as someone who can still help an NBA team win a championship," Miller said Wednesday in a statement relayed to The Associated Press by the TNT network. "I've had limited discussions with Celtics management about their roster and a potential role for me. At this time, I'm enjoying my role as an analyst with TNT." OK, Reggie, who is 13th on the league's career scoring list with 25,279 points and the career leader in 3-pointers made and attempted. Has not played for 2 seasons…

Marc Stein of ESPN.com on who else is thinking comeback this year:

Stein’s blog also listed these names as possibilities: Darvin Ham, Bryon Russell, Dajuan Wagner, Bo Outlaw, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Chris Andersen (who landed a two-year suspension for using a "drug of abuse" that resulted in his contract with the Hornets being voided with $14 million unpaid -- is eligible to apply for NBA reinstatement in January 2008) Roy Tarpley, Chris Webber, P.J. Brown, Dikembe Mutombo, Gary Payton, Dale Davis, Clifford Robinson, Doug Christie, Vin Baker and the ageless Kevin Willis.

The best personnel move made in the NBA this off-season (aside fro KG to Boston)? Got to be Houston picking up the draft rights to Luis Scola (along with center Jackie Butler) from the Spurs in exchange for Greek guard Vassilis Spanoulis, a future second-round draft pick and future detritus…Scola, who is like a beter shooting Buck Williams is a good rebounder and defender and a very crafty scorer who shoots very, very well from the floor (60-65%)…
