- The Outside World
The Outside World is a weekly recap of the best basketball writing and analysis the internet has to offer.
– Truehoop’s Henry Abbott got a chance to appear on ESPN’s Sports Nation, talking about Kobe “Captain Crunch” Bryant and the MVP race.
– Wednesday night may have been the last NBA game in Sacramento. Chris Webber is doing what he can to keep the team where they belong. Players usually cement their legacy with a fanbase by what they do on the court. Imagine the place Webber would hold in the Kings’ pantheon if he could pull this off.
– In a less optimistic vein, some possible closing images from the NBA’s stint in Sacramento.
– If you want NBA Playoff previews, you might not do better than Sebastian Pruiti’s video breakdowns at NBA Playbook. Here’s a look at Celtics-Knicks, Lakers-Hornets, Thunder-Nuggets, and Heat-76ers.
– Truehoop has created some additional NBA awards, positive unlike mine. Go ahead and cast your vote for Offensive Player of the Year, Scrappiest Player, Best Game, Best Teammate, Best Beard, Best Thespian, Most Underrated, Best Trade, Best Single-Game Performance, Real Sixth Man, Best Rim Protector, and Best Screener.
– Kobe Bryant used some off-color language and it was caught by the television broadcast. It’s created quite a stir, but I wonder how many times he’s said it before without being overheard.
