Watched France vs Spain this morning and it appeared to be an NBA Allstar B team out there as most of the players were NBA players. Spain had the Gasol brothers, Rudy Fernamdez and Serge Ibaka.......France had Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Ronny Turiaf, Michael Pietrus and Nicholas Batum. A close game, but the Spaniards with more star power and execution closed out the game on a 12-2 run winning 66-59 and Turiaf and Batum almost started a war between the countries with some very hard frustration fouls in the end that would resulted in suspensions if this had been one of David Stern's NBA sanctioned games.

New Orleans Hornets to change nickname to Pelicans, according to report - ESPN Believe it. This is not an Onion article. Best comment to the article:
They also considered the Krewe and the Brass??? The Krewe could be sort of cool even though nobody will know what it means... just because it sounds like crew. The Pelicans is just really lame though. The guy already named a minor league baseball team the Pelicans in the past, so he's definitely capable of following through on this.
Right around Ponies and Lambs. I like it better than Krewe and Brass but less than New Orleans Sterns or New Orleans Unibrows.
Utah should give "Jazz" back to Nawlens. I've been to SLC and there's absolutely NO Jazz to be heard in that town.
Allen Iverson: Former Philadelphia 76ers star facing financial troubles | The Point Forward - SI.com Expenses - 358, 000 a month. Income - 62,500 a month. Yes........I see a problem. What's ironic is that he coulda lived with those type of expenses based on his career income of 154 million over 14 seasons. So...what happened to the cheddar........
How is he making that much money still? Do those expenses count gambling losses? Those can really wreak havoc will a budget.
