Lawsuit mentions Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Barry Bonds, Mark Cuban, Nolan Ryan, Kate Moss, and others
True story: I was named in a suit this guy filed. Apparently, he went through the pages of Sporting News magazine and named everyone in the masthead. His Wikipedia page is amazing.
Reminder: predict the NBA playoff teams

Just a reminder: if you haven't already, submit your prediction for which NBA teams will make the playoffs.
We'll probably shut down voting this weekend.
For those who don't know, when Gerald Wallace was in high school, he had to decide between playing basketball and baseball. As we all know, he chose basketball, but people say he was just as good at baseball as he was in basketball.
On August 27, Gerald took to the baseball diamond for the first time since he was 15. He took some batting practice with the Charlotte Knights before throwing out the first pitch. At batting practice, he knocked a couple out of the park.
In the video you can see him having fun, playing the other sport he is passionate about.

Take a look at the upper left hand corner of the site (if you're on the main page). There, you'll see a Fan Confidence widget. Every Monday morning, voting will open and last for 48 hours, at which point the results will be displayed. Over time, we'll get a pretty cool look at Bobcats fans' mood swings over time.
Here's an example, via the SBN Atlanta hub, of how this information might be used.
Predict the 2010-11 NBA playoff teams

Each of the past couple years, before the season, I've asked visitors to this site to predict the teams that will make the NBA playoffs. And each of the past two seasons, fans have correctly predicted 13 of the 16 playoff teams. Let's do it again.
After the jump, you'll see a form with checkboxes. Please choose the eight teams from each conference you think will make the playoffs and submit your prediction. Be nice and only do it once.
Carmelo Anthony on the block: What should the Bobcats trade to get him?

We've been down the Carmelo Anthony rabbit hole before, but let's revisit it one more time. The SBN Nuggets blog, Denver Stiffs, has offered to evaluate whatever offers we might come up with for 'Melo against offers from blogs of teams mentioned in the Yahoo! report stating 'Melo wants out, so let's come up with an offer to send them. Check it with the Trade Machine.
As much as I hesitate to do it, in order to get Anthony, I think we'd have to start with Gerald Wallace and go on from there. In sum, the two separate trades (in order to trade Dampier):
And to think I used to like Carmelo... but maybe coming to Charlotte????
Sad how today's NBA "stars" have become...
Although Charlotte is listed as a potential destination
BDL: Michael Jordan takes on Kwame Brown, again
And if that means talking up Kwame Brown, telling him that it's going to be alright when it's quite clear that everything's gone wrong, then [Michael Jordan]'ll do it. This also means he'll be petty and cruel to someone like Brown, but it also means that he's trying to work this from all angles. All of them, when it comes to trying to knock some sense into a person like Kwame Brown, destined to fail.
