Good morning. Let’s basketball.
Steve Ballmer has a crazy idea
Good morning. We have that and more in Monday’s NBA newsletter.
FLIP YO WIG: On Andrew Wiggins’ gradual path to NBA stardom.
SMALL IS THE NEW BIG: Tim Cato on the rise of the small ball movement.
A PERFECT WAY TO SPEND A COFFEE BREAK: 15 minutes of dudes getting crossed up.
HOW KATRINA AFFECTED THE NBA: J.A. Adande on the impact Hurricane Katrina had on four NBA cities.
NASH REHASH: Statistics validate the claim that Steve Nash was one of the greatest NBA point guards ever. Also, here is Nash playing ball with Snoop Dogg.
CLIP SHOW: So, Steve Ballmer turned down a $60 million per year local TV deal with eyes on potentially creating his own over-the-top streaming service with which to deliver games directly to fans. This is very, very interesting, and if it happens it could be the first step toward diehards of a single local pro team being able to get away with cord-cutting. As Dan Devine writes, it could also be a ploy to draw more money out of FOX Sports or another broadcaster.
YOU TOO ... can own MJ’s “game-worn” Toon Squad jersey (if you have some ridiculous discretionary cash).
HOLY SKYSCRAPER: Enes Kanter is a tall human. Standing next to the tallest man in the world, a fellow Turk, makes Enes Kanter look like Muggsy Bogues.
Happy Monday. See you next time.
