Wilt-Kareem revisited: A blocked shot for the ages
Lakers Blog | Los Angeles Times — I'm going to beat LRob to the reminiscing thread today. Or maybe actually start another. I received an e-mail from a gentleman back east. He said he enjoyed the Wilt-Kareem post from the other day and relayed to me a game in which he witnessed what he thought was the greatest blocked shot of all time. I replied to his e-mail and asked him why he didn't post it in the comments area and wondered if he'd give me permission to do so. He was actually hoping that maybe I'd use it in a post. So, to get the evening...

Nets Blog | ESPN New York — Even if the Denver Nuggets are able to re-sign Carmelo Anthony to a contract extension, the Nets will be in strong contention next summer to make a pitch for the 2011 free agent. That's because the Nets will have roughly $20 million in cap space (New York Post). In the meantime, the Nets already have a guarantee from one new member who will join them at the Prudential Center next summer -- the New York Liberty. The WNBA franchise will play all of its home games across the river while its current arena, Madison Square Garden, undergoes a multimillion-dollar renovation (The Star-Ledger). Jared ...
New Jersey Nets 3 hours agoWalsh nixed trade for Fernandez
Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — An international combo of Rudy Fernandez and Danilo Gallinari would have been intriguing to watch in Mike D'Antoni's run-and-gun system, but Knicks president Donnie Walsh boxed out that notion. According to a team source, Walsh recently rejected a three-team deal that would have sent Anthony Randolph to Indiana, a first-round pick to Portland and Fernandez to New York (New York Daily News). While Fernandez would have brought dazzle to the court and even some much-needed Knicks D -- he averaged a steal per game last season -- Walsh may prefer to develop a big man in Randolph, who's only 21 and ...

- The pick. ... Husky Football Blog | Seattle Times Kickoff is almost at hand, and none too soon. It's been 272 days since we last saw the Huskies in action, a 42-10 romp over Cal that remains one of the biggest reasons for excitement about this team (even if I remain convinced no one outside of Seattle saw it). Jake Locker was 19-23 passing that day, and ran 77 yards, accounting for five touchdowns running or passing --- a truly Heismanesque performance (he's pictured at right in the game against Cal in an Otto Greule Jr. photo). Chris Polk ran for 94 yards as the offensive line helped UW pile up 478 yards --- it's most in Pac-10 game in more...
- Giants get Rosenfels, Reynaud from Vikings True Blue | Bergen Record The Giants were pleased with the progress Rhett Bomar made throughout training camp, but apparently not pleased enough to trust the backup quarterback job to the first-year man. So Friday they traded two draft picks for Sage Rosenfels from the Minnesota Vikings, where he was destined to be the No. 3 man behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson. The trade will become official today when Rosenfels passes his physical. Running back Darius Reynaud also is involved in the deal, and he could become a factor in the Giants search for a kick returner. The picks involved are a No. 5...
