Amber Links Of Grain: By The Beard of Zeus!

“Amber Links Of Grain” is The Basketball Jones’ new daily link dump featuring some of finest shiznit from the NBA blogosphere, YouTubes and Internets. Send submissions to jones@thebasketballjones.net. Or don’t. Your call, really.

1. The NBA All-Beard Team. [The Blowtorch]

2. John Krolik, on O.J. Mayo: “O.J.’s game most closely resembles that of Arenas, and while the media’s reaction to Arenas is certainly a case with a sample size of 1, Arenas has never run into “selfish, lazy, Iverson-like playground play” backlash for his exploits on the court like O.J. already has; his prolonged fame, business savvy, and sense of showmanship on the court have already earned him a spot in Skip Bayless’ “young black punk” throne for the next year or two.” [Free Darko]

3. Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith has a simple solution for NBA European expansion: “Add approximately six new franchises at once. They would make up the new Euro Division, with teams based in Italy, Spain, France, England and Greece. Clubs from North America would have to spend two weeks of the regular season in Europe before the All-Star game and again after the All-Star game. To further accommodate this expansion across the Atlantic Ocean, the NBA would have to shorten the schedule to 70 games.” Barkley in Europe? Wow! [Yahoo!]

4. I love this quote from Coach Smitty about Jorge: “I’m going to be honest with you, you look at him and you don’t know exactly how he gets stuff done. You say he shouldn’t be able to guard certain guys, but he does.” Ha! Apparently Garbo is fighting Kapono, Delfino and Graham for the Raps’ starting forward gig. [Toronto Star]

    While I’m all for more inclusion of international players the NBA needs to chill the fuck out. You can not run a league that makes any sense on 2 different sides of the world. Aint gonna happen, just stop it.
