Great read if you're into the NBA. Bill Simmons is hilarious.

"Our first challenge: Stu Scott interviewing Bargnani without an interpreter working for either side. This is fun. Bargnani sounds exactly like Furio on "The Sopranos.""
"During the Williams interview, ESPN chickens out from running a "MUST IMPROVE: KLEPTOMANIA" graphic."
"Utah taking a mortified Ronnie Brewer (who has a "Wait, isn't that the city with no black people?" look on his face)."
"Sene and his 7-foot-8 wingspan goes to Seattle at No. 10, despite the fact that he learned to make a layup off the correct foot just 12 months ago"
"Here's why you have to love the NBA draft: It's the only show where you could ever see a graphic like, "WOULD MOST LIKE TO MEET: HIS PARENTS."
"Coming in late to the Foye Compliment Orgy, Dickie V. screams, "He's Dwyane Wade, baby!" and immediately disappears."
"Hey, did you know that Morrison's favorite DVD is "Ultimate Fighting," his favorite book is "The Art of War," he listens to Metallica when he works out and he cried when Rage of the Machine broke up. I just learned all of those things in the last 20 seconds. Sounds like he needs a girlfriend."
"Dickie V -- for instance, he thinks the Landlord could have an immediate impact as well -- even though he's always screaming with a red background behind him. You figure it out. Which reminds me, my old intern Jamie e-mailed me just to ask, "Where the hell is Dick Vitale being interviewed from, the core of the earth?"
