Apropos of nothing, Larry King's Twitter avatar makes me laugh, without fail, every single day.
Segways, Chains, And Succession: Kings Things, Son
↵Onto the links...
- ↵↵North Korea names the successor to Kim Jong-Il this week. Remember his “idiot son” from a few weeks ago? Yep, he’s still in the running, and we’re all doomed.
- ↵Wright Thompson on the sadness that comes with seeing Muhammad Ali today: “His Parkinson’s medicine controls the shakes and allows him to be in public, but he can’t talk when he takes it. So he has to choose: shake or talk?”
- ↵The owner of the Segway corporation has died. This isn’t funny. Nope. Not one bit.
↵Brandon Jennings’ new chain reminds us that Compton’s most definitely in the house. A house that may one day be foreclosed, but until then... OH HE SO ICY.
↵New York Magazine’s Will Leitch on Amare Stoudemire, the Knicks not-Jewish savior, who is probably less a savior than New York realizes. Definitely, actually. But that’s part of the charm with Knicks.
↵↵And finally, Eddy Curry showed up to training camp 20 pounds overweight.

↵...See that? It’s beginning to feel like basketball season around here. Off to the Wizards’ Midnight Madness tonight. Unless I get into a fistfight with Kirk Hinrich, expect a full recap tomorrow. And get excited. BASKETBALL’S BACK.
