Great Dikembe Mutombo CNN Video (Not Kings Related)
I just love Dikembe Mutombo, so I thought I would share this video. It's about all the humanitarian work he does. A great human being.
"I was lucky to come to America and study medicine at Georgetown University, and my dream was taken away in my sophomore year when I was asked to play basketball. But I have no regrets." -Mutombo

A very fine article about Whiteside's background.
JT Visiting Casspi in Israel
By Ailene Voison. That's right.
Is Doc Funk funny?
I'm really curious what people think about the photo captions that "Doc Funk" makes. Are they funny? Or lame?
If you haven't seen them, this is his website. I'm not sure if he's been doing this for a long time or what, but his whole thing is to stick captions on NBA photos and try to make them funny. I think it's very hard to do this and be consistently funny with it, but he pumps out 10-20 photos per game, it seems...
Without giving my own opinion, I'm wondering, are they creative? Or weak attempts?
I honestly can't tell if people on this site find them funny or not and am dying to know.
Thanks.
Why I would be excited to see KM traded
This definitely isn't anything ground-breaking, but here's a simple reason why I am very open to a Kevin Martin trade:
The Kings as a team are currently 9th in points scored per game, with 101.43.
According to my calculations, without Kevin Martin, that number jumps to 103.66ppg, which would be 7th in the league.
I'm a big Kevin Martin fan. He is a great scorer. One of the best in the league. But is scoring what this team really needs? It doesn't appear so.
Kevin Martin recently said, "I just don't have the mind-frame to go out there and score 30 anymore," implying that he is focusing on other aspects of his game, such as passing, rebounding and defense. I don't think too many people will disagree, however, that he is not a particularly great passer, rebounder, or defender.
My question is simply this:
If the Kings do not need more offensive firepower, being among the top scoring teams in the league;
and Kevin Martin is a particularly good scorer, and particularly average at everything else,
Do the Kings need Kevin Martin?
While I have no doubt that Kevin Martin's shot will return and he will begin to score 20+ points per game, I don't think it will significantly improve the team by him doing so since scoring was never the problem. The problem is defense (5th at 105ppg from the opposing team). This is why I am not opposed to trading Kevin Martin. Not because I fear that he is ruining team chemistry or that he cannot play well along side Tyreke Evans, but because the Kings already have the pieces to be a perfectly capable offensive team. Martin's trade value could potentially bring a more needed defensive-minded player, which is something they serious lack.

Niners' Hill proves his head's in the right place
Last few lines:
"'It’s fine to me,' Davis says. 'Every time he throws a pass, it always comes right to me. I like his balls.'
"So does Singletary – in more ways than one."

USA vs. Spain Olympics, complete game
Everyone's talking about how well Rubio played vs. the US in the olympics. I missed the game. Youtube has about 50 photo slide-shows of Kobe Bryant photos, but no video. But finally I found every Olympic game in it's entirety streamed on NBC.

Judging from Jason Thompson's twitter comments, his diet is atrocious. Buffalo wings, Panda Express, cheesesteaks, mac n' cheese...
