1. Chris “Birdman” Andersen has a killer ride (shown above). It’s a a 6.5-ton SportChassis P4XL and it looks like it could run over a house. I wouldn’t recommend cutting off The Birdman in traffic.

2. Rapper Mistah F.A.B. is a Warriors superfan and he’s not afraid to let everybody know.

3. What’s getting lost in the Brandon Jennings hype is that Tyreke Evans deserves mention in the Rookie of the Year race, according to Zach Harper of Cowbell Kingdom.

4. Brandon Roy prefers a quiet moment alone to standing with his teammates during the national anthem. Does that make him unpatriotic? I say no. As long as you celebrate the anthem — which he does — why does it matter where you celebrate?

5. Jordan Crawford — a.k.a. the guy who dunked on LeBron James — is playing well for Xavier. Crawford is averaging 18.5 points and shooting 48.1 percent from three, proving once again that there’s nothing like a little DunkGate mojo to get your career going.
