Metta World Peace, it’s becoming clear, chose that name for himself ironically. Last night, apparently in response to James Harden getting called for a foul late in game 3 of the NBA finals, he tweeted about Harden, “No brain. All beard.”

Among the reasons the Miami Heat are so easy to hate is that James, Wade, and Bosh chose to play together in the NBA’s weak eastern conference. If the boys considered themselves such hot stuff, why didn’t they join forces in Golden State? Yeah, I know payroll may be part of the answer; to talk about the NBA nowadays, you have to be an accountant. But it can’t be coincidence that the three all-stars thought it would be fun to play together where they could let most of the league’s best teams fight it out amongst themselves, while they sat back, ready to face whomever was left standing.

I guess it’s time to start liking LeBron James. In memory of Trayvon Martin.

I missed this last month, Will Ferrell announcing the team line-ups for ’80s night between the New Orleans Hornets and the Chicago Bulls. I recommend skipping 1:30 – 3:00 as it’s Ferrell-less.
He collects rare birds and has a pet dolphin named Chachi…

I never thought I’d become a basketball blogger this season of all seasons. (Not only is my team likely to miss the playoffs: even the team I was pulling for in the lockout–the players–took a drubbing.) But since I’ve gotten started blogging about basketball and about fairness in higher education, here’s my idea for fixing the NBA’s ridiculous eligibility rule.

With all the attention being paid to Jeremy Lin‘s incredible run, am I the only one thinking: What? Another point guard in the news?

One of things I’ve found most surprising about the Jeremy Lin phenomenon is that he had to deal with racial slurs when his Harvard team played Ivy League rivals.
