Chinese Beer Company Creates Most Shaquille O'Neal Commercial Of All Time
We're all friends here. We can talk. For as much crap as Shaquille O'Neal has always gotten for all of his ill-fated and highly cheeseball endeavors, from Kazaam to "Shaq-Fu" to verses with Fu-Schnickens to being bested in one-on-one by a (probably juicing) Aaron Carter, the insanely goofball nature of Shaq is precisely why we all love him. The advertising geniuses behind a new ad for a Chinese beer company understand this. Boy, do they ever understand it.

Chris Bosh, The NBA's Most Human Star
Tom Haberstroh's superb profile of injured Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh has a lot of insight on what it is like to be Chris Bosh and injured in the playoffs, but the best quote has more to do with Bosh's reaction to Miami's loss in the 2011 NBA Finals.

Stephen Jackson Has Given Himself A New Middle Name
The San Antonio Spurs were lauded as being a rather boring team for the majority of their dynasty seasons, but that isn't the case anymore. The team is aging, certainly, but they're also getting more exciting.
The "no longer boring" label doesn't only apply to the innovative offense and on-court product, however -- even the team's off-court incidents have become more entertaining. The latest example came Sunday night, via Stephen Jackson, following the now-famous "nasty" speech from head coach Gregg Popovich.

VIDEO: Marco Andretti Wrecks Late At Indy 500, Extends Family Curse
The Andretti family may be racing royalty, but the Indianapolis 500 doesn't care. Not since 1969 when Mario Andretti won has the family tasted victory at the Brickyard, with the family going 0-for-66 in combined attempts from Mario's sons Michael and Jeff, nephew John and grandson Marco Andretti.
In fact, Marco, in his seventh Indy 500 start, couldn't even finish this year's race, wrecking with just 12 laps to go when he was eighth place. Marco led early in the race and was among the leaders all day before his frustrating crash, which you can see below the jump.
