For me, that's news about the Pistons. 

A shame about the young woman.

Nice play by Joe Johnson just now to win game 1 at the buzzer.  He even got a nice, time consuming bounce before it dropped in.

The Spurs had a pretty good game 1 too.

Best basketball photo ever?

Everybody was kung fu fighting!

The Sonics eh? Why taunt Katmai like that?

The legend of little Isaiah Thomas grows as he plays lights out despite losing  tooth.

It's Bruce Bowen delivering the flying ninja kick and Gary Payton looking at the ball in wonder.  Who's that taking the kick to the dome?

Based on my extensive research over the last 10 minutes I'm not sure.

The only 2 seasons that Bowen was on the heat were 1996-1997 and 1999-2000; he only played one game for the Heat in 1997 and it was not a home game against Seattle so it has to be the 1999-2000 season.

In that season Bowen played 6 minutes in a 20 point win against Seattle in Miami.

The only 2 white dudes who played for the Sonics in that game are Brent Barry and Greg Foster.

Based on the heights of those players compared to Gary Payton (6'4") the only one that would make sense is Barry (6'6") but he wore #31 and that doesn't look like a 31 on his jersey.

Greg Foster was 6'11" and wore 44 so that doesn't look right either.

   #45 Ruben Wolkowyski?

Hair looks right.  6'10.

[Grey Fox]

My extensive research points to MBM being right. That's Ruben Wolkowyski.

DAHH!  I must have been too drunk last night during my extensive research.  I missed that Bowen was still on the Heat in 2000-2001; Wolkowyski and Bowen both played in the Miami/Seattle game that season, so I was off a year.

Nice work MBM!

IT drops 53 on the Wizards, willing the Celtics to victory over the Wizards in OT!

I would like to see both you and toothless joe kicked in the face by Bruce Bowen.

You a Wizard's fan?

IT flew back from his sister's funeral and dropped 33 on Washington in a game he got a tooth knocked out. Then he underwent 10 hours of dental surgery in the next two days and dropped 53 on the Wizards on his late sister's 23rd birthday.  That's praiseworthy no matter what team you root for.

It is amazing. Unfortunately, he won't join the pantheon of beloved Boston sports stars such as Bobby Orr, Ted Williams, Larry Bird, or Tom Brady, because Thomas is a black guy, and Boston fans are racist assholes.

David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez and Paul Peirce are in that pantheon.
