Fiending for Links, Featuring Ron Artest Without Pants
November 24th, 2009 | 
Author: 1. For a Laker, Ron Artest sure is cavalier about nudity. Get it? Cavalier? Nevermind. Ron-Ron was his looney self on Monday night, starring on Jimmy Kimmel Live in his skivvies.
2. Complex.com breaks down the best 50 dunks of all-time. The top 10 is quite good. Dwyane Wade’s posterization of Anderson Varejao finishes a respectable sixth, which is just about right in my eyes. I love the Tom Chambers dunk at number five. That one always cracks me up.
3. Leave it to the New York Times to write a puff piece on Kobe Bryant. Just kidding. It’s a really good read. Hat tip as always to the NYT basketball staff, which is great.
4. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo writes about the toll the Nets’ 13-game losing streak has had on Lawrence Frank. With The Russian coming in as owner and the Nets floundering, Frank will probably not be in New Jersey next season. But he’s taking it like a man. With his chin up and his eyes red (from lack of sleep). Another great read.
5. University of Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin has put a gag order on freshman Lance Stephenson, the New York hoops prodigy. But that won’t keep Knicks fans from speculating about Stephenson in blue and orange next season.
Okay, that’s it for me. I’ll be on vacation until after Thanksgiving.
Have a terrific turkey day everybody! Stay safe. And drink lots of, well, whatever you drink. I’ll see you Friday.
