Summer Still Means Basketball

• I just wrote an article on Bleacher Report that breaks down the best undersized point guards of all time. Give it a look if you have the chance.

Around My World in 90 Seconds

Quick thought: Does anyone else think it would be funny to see the NBA's "Dream Finals" of Kobe vs. LeBron not happen? I could have sworn basketball was played with eight other guys on the court. (But don't tell ESPN and Nike that.)

All I want to see are the two best teams going at it. But I digress. Anyway, it has been a very long time since my last post, but here's where I've been:

Bleacher Report: No Cinderella, No Problem

Informative Sports: NBA Roundtables One, Three, and Four

I know it's not a lot, but I've been busy.

Either way, summer is upon us, and I plan on posting weekly (with more substance than this one) throughout the summer months. Each week, I will also give my picks for Mainstream Article of the Week (i.e. ESPN, SI), Small-Time Article of the Week, and Video of the Week.

Mainstream Article of the Week: Air Standards Seem Out Of Reach, by ESPN's Chris Broussard

Small-Time Article of the Week: A Trail Of Tears: Memphis the Next School Hurt by Calipari Departure, by The Bleacher Report's David Sanchirico
