Garnett Defends Flopping Starbury
Kevin Garnett has rushed to the defense of his old buddy Stephon Marbury, who has contributed very little to the Celtics since being picked up on waivers from the Knicks, and is hearing whispers that he’s through as a player. “Not only is [Marbury] versatile, but people forget that Steph was one of the premier guards in this league for a while,” Garnett said. “And other than him not playing for a year, we all expect big things out of him. But I think he expects a lot of big things out of himself. He works extremely hard. You just [...]

Big Dance Video: Missouri’s Marcus Denmon Hits Three-Quarter-Court Heave Before Half vs. Memphis
Memphis might’ve gotten the hint right here that the cosmos wasn’t on its side Thursday night. Sure enough, the C-USA champs were defeated by feisty Mizzou. John Calipari suffering = happy me.

Nationwide shock and outrage met news of an incident from Dallas where Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats was kept from the bedside of his dying mother-in-law by a police officer who insisted on ticketing him for running a red light near the hospital, then for whatever reason proceeded to threaten and even draw his gun on Moats and his wife.

Olympic gymnast and Dancing With the Stars participant Shawn Johnson got a scare Tuesday after her heavily-armed alleged stalker was arrested outside a DWTS taping. The stalker, one Robert O’Ryan, reportedly drove all the way from Florida to L.A. because of the “psychic connection” he felt with Johnson. Clearly, Mr. O’Ryan meant to do something very bad if he ever did get Johnson alone: the LAPD arrested him after finding “a loaded .45 handgun, a loaded shotgun, and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties, and a map to the victim” in his vehicle. The 17-year-old Johnson [...]
Former New York Knicks coach and GM Isiah Thomas has reportedly had discussions with Donald Sterling about taking a position in the front office of the blighted Los Angeles Clippers. ESPN says Sterling is looking for someone to work alongside current coach/GM Mike Dunleavy and hopefully take some of the burden off him. Dunleavy is said to be the one who arranged the initial meeting between Sterling and Thomas, which took place several weeks ago. A similar position was offered to former Lakers executive Jerry West, who wasted no time in informing everyone that he has no interest whatsoever in [...]

Anna Kournikova Owns Jimmy Fallon at Beer Pong (Video)
No offense to Camilo Villegas and Anna Rawson, but if Rafael Nadal and Ana Ivanovic really did take to the links professionally, they would immediately be the sexahest male and female golfers. Golf is not exactly brimming-over with sexah. Sorry Fred Funk.
