Remember Voshon Lenard?

-Three point threat for the Heat way back in the Pat Riley days. Often lit it up including a memorable 3pt contest victory in 2004. Did I say memorable? Exactly right my people, he came back and destroyed the field hitting 16 points in the final round after a rough start. On wikipedia, it states that Voshon is currently a free agent. That's right NBA GM's, its time to get on the wire and bring this flamethrower back into the league for your playoff push. Celtics? Anyone?

-Does Olimpiakos have the dumbest set of player personnel team assembled? Willing to argue yes based on the fact that there is interest in Stephon Marbury. European teams are particularly notorious for not putting up with "me first" personalities and one would imagine that Steph wouldn't last much longer then a couple weeks before his coach and teammates would be at his throat.

-Chris Paul keeps edging closer to the vaunted quadruple double with 27, 15, 10 and 7 steals. I can't put it into words how much this statline blows my mind. The little one grabs so many boards which I continue to point out has nothing to do with size, and much more with effort.

-Remember this game? Played it a couple times at Aaron Sawyer's house back in the day. Sick, sick find!

-Have you been watching the Basketball Jones Videocast? Love their analysis and humor that they bring to the table most weekday mornings. However, doesn't it it take away from their credibility when seeing them on video? Looks like neither of them have picked up a basketball at any point in their lives.

-Another NBA podcast that has been on my radar recently. The guys at Talk Hoops have one called The Weekly Fix. It's a little long, but pretty funny and a little more explicit then The Jones. Also, looking forward to The Hardwood Paroxysm's Podcast which has yet to be started but has been advertised. They have quite a collection of NBA minds that should blend well for a solid podcast. Not enough hours in the day to listen to all of the things I'd like to.
