The NBA finals are set-- it's Lakers vs. Celtics

Here are a few random images and videos from the Lakers-Suns series. (Above-- Ron Artest sinks the game winning shot in Game 5)

Also: Dragic scores on a nice lay-up earlier in the series--

What I have been reading lately #28

I have just finished reading FreeDarko Presents...The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game. I had seen this book around in bookstores and public libraries for a few months, but I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. Turns out I did like it. This book gave me a new or renewed appreciation of the following things:

• basketball
• NBA basketball
• sleeping (if it's good for Tracy McGrady, if can be good for me)
• staying home (again, Tracy McGrady, below)
• baseball
• Gilbert Arenas (below)

I would highly recommend this book to any reader.
