Watch this interview with Shaq before the Cavaliers vs. Timberwolves game on 10/30
Shaq is clearly not interested in the interview and most of the time looks somewhere away from announcer Fred McLeod while resting his left hand on the chair’s backrest. This looks kinda funny because Shaq’s hand size is huge. Being not the tallest center in the NBA he has biggest foot size and I believe his hand size is also the biggest.
His thumb is probably twice as big as the interviewer’s you can compare from the screen-shot below.

Now imagine Shaq is celebrating Halloween dressed like Jason and it starts looking a bit scary

I’ve just watched interesting documentary which isn’t related to basketball at all except I was able to take a glimpse on the previous decade into Nike Shoes store in San Francisco where you could see how Nike shoes models looked like more than 10 years ago which is now considered retro.

By the way, this is from documentary called “Black tar hero1n”. Very sad one I might say. Many young people lost their future by taking dangerous habits and one of the reason for that was “they didn’t know what to do”. Various sports including basketball can deter young people from doing wrong things in their lives.
I like watching old videos showing how things looked in the past and it’s amazing how the world evolved in this short amount of time. In 1995-1998 (when this documentary was filmed) there were no Google, no Twitter, no Digg and other popular websites.

Recently I stumbled upon an interesting concept of real time search. It basically means that you can find information about particular topic that is very fresh. Real time information sources comes from fast updating sites like Twitter, Blogger, Wordpress.com and also various blogs.
When information spreads so quickly in the internet nowadays it is important to find fresh news before it gets old. Google and other traditional search providers rely on the authority of domain and backlinks while real time search is based on freshness factor. You don’t have to be an authority to get listed in search results.

Ricky Rubio Barselona
The best young basketball player in Europe in 2007 and 2008, Ricky Rubio after the statement of the desire to play in the NBA has moved to Barcelona. Why it happened and what to expect from this transition more Ricky said in his first interview with columnist official of his new club.
Finally concluding negotiations between the “Barselona” and “Juventut” you are satisfied with their results?
The truth is that the talks were rather difficult. But we came to mutual agreement, and now I want to enjoy the new team.
As you went through all this turmoil that has arisen around you, because so much has been said about what club you’re going to go … How it all really happened, and how you decided to join the “Barselona”?
When the season ended, I was going to go to the NBA. At the NBA Draft I was elected by a good number and I was pleasantly surprised, but I have not had a chance to go to the NBA. I tried but I failed, and now I joined a great club, with whom I’m going to win many titles. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re looking a handy resource to know every NBA team salaries in 2009-2010 season then you’re in the right place. I’ve just compiled nice PDF document where you will find how much NBA players get paid during the season.
Currently Tracy McGrady gets $23,239,561 for his season and Kobe Bryant plays for $23,034,375. Pretty impressive, huh? Not everybody in NBA makes this amount of money.
You may think that some players just doesn’t perform as well as they’re paid. But that’s natural, you cannot predict future too much, especially in sports where injuries are corner away. Personally I think the most overpaid NBA player today is Andrew Bynum. Twelve and a half million dollars sounds too high considering his contribution.
