Adrian Wojnarowski apparently does not like how Michael Jordan acted like Michael Jordan during his induction to the Hall of Fame. Well, some things are just hard to change, especially if those same things turned you into the greatest player of all time.

For all the talks about how Allen Iverson could potentially mess up the Memphis Grizzlies, I have a feeling that his signing could actually bring something good to the table. Besides, how can you mess up something that's already as messed up as these Grizzlies?

To cap things off on the FIBA- Americas, I still don't understand how Brazil's Anderson Varejao a.k.a. Sideshow Bob is worth 50 MIL in the NBA. The Cavs must have seen something with that hair.
