Metta Not So Peaceful

I didn’t get to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on Wednesday night, but from all the comments on Twitter and the talk and highlights I saw the next day, it sounded like these two teams have built a real rivalry.

Some players were just built to play college basketball. This isn’t something new. We all watched Sacramento Kings guard Jimmer Fredette play at BYU last year knowing that he was going to be a high draft pick but also that he wasn’t ready to play in the NBA. He was the national player of the […]

San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan pretty much shies away form the limelight. He isn’t one to crave the cameras, walk the red carpets, or appear in rap videos. He prefers the quiet life and letting his stellar N.B.A. resume do all the talking. So when he does decide to step in front of the camera, […]
