Magic was among the best at putting things in holes.

If anything, too good at putting things in holes.

Big Shot is hilarious.

Right after they interview Stan Fischler about looking like the Fishsticks logo, there's old video of a protest parade against the logo - complete with a little kid holding a sign with the logo reading "IT'S STAN FISCHLER."

Gary Bettman sucks, come on now.

The latest 30 For 30 short is really awesome - the couple that created the MLB schedule by hand for decades.

Not sure how you can put out something like Hillsborough which digs deep into a topic and doesn't hold back and follow it up with a puff piece that avoided mentioning things the league found troubling.

Here's how: the television rights to the English Premier League are owned by NBCSN, and the team in question is located an ocean away from Bristol, CT. Meanwhile, the NBA and ESPN have a massive rights deal, and a longstanding working relationship. That's how.

I was bummed about the lack of drama. I've always had the feeling that even though some of the guys went on to other teams that they will always be Pistons no matter what. I would have loved to see some of the guys let loose and talk about how they actually felt. I saw John Salley not that long ago making less than complimentary remarks regarding the Bulls (and Jordan) and he was on the 1996 Bulls. The personalities from this time were so intense, and they put Isiah out there smiling and waving, trying to smooth everything over. I wanted more blood and bile.

If this weren't produced by NBA Entertainment, it might've had that stuff.

ESPN is taking them down quicker than usual, due to the whole restriction on Hillsborough being shown in the UK.

Laettner doing his interviews for the doc in a CHRISTIAN LAETTNER t-shirt is fantastic.
