From the NBA.com homepage today:
Knick Jalen Rose is about to take his game to a whole different level. The avid video gamer will compete in the inaugural season of the Hip-Hop Gaming League (HHGL) along with such music impresarios as Method Man, B-Real and Tyrese. HHGL action begins this spring and concludes in May with a live Finals event in Las Vegas presided over by commissioner Snoop Dogg.
Yeah, here’s hoping that the game they play is World Class Track Meet on the Nintendo Power Pad. I mean, come on — Jalen Rose battling Paul Wall in the 100m dash? Wow…

With Tas off frolicking in Vegas, presumably winning millions and millions of dollars — well, that, and/or slitting his wrists in a dingy motel room because of his losses, flip a coin really — it was up to this Jones’ co-host to get on the horn last night to talk ball with the good folks at My Sports Radio.com
In this week’s episode, ‘E’, Brian and myself discuss teams and players to watch for in the upcoming playoffs, Dalembert’s trade demands, the best front court duos in the L, and – gasp! — the possible return of Shawn Kemp.
And oh, I sound like some type of prepubescent robot or something so you know, that’s probably worth a listen, right? Check it out…
