The sun sets in Arizona

For once, I'm sad the Spurs won.

Blast from the past

This is one of the first songs I learnt to sing, during the good old days when you could use me for white balancing, not that there were any digital cameras back then.

Basketballers aren't very smart

While coaching the Knicks for an abbreviated 59 games in 1995-96, Nelson told me a story involving John Starks. He said a fan approached the former Knicks guard after a game and asked him to sign a pennant for his brother. "His name is Marc. Marc with a 'C.' "

When the fan got the pennant returned, Nelson said, it read, "To Cark." Marc with a "C," get it?

Nellie delighted in telling that story, prefacing it with, "This is how stupid John Starks is."

The southpaw loves symmetry
