The return of Allen Iverson to the 76ers was sure to be an emotional reunion given his previous history with the franchise and the team's fans. Iverson choked up during a tearful press conference, and became particularly distraught after learning the dismal record of the 76ers.

Off to a dismal 3-12 start to the season, the New York Knicks do not have much to be thankful for. However, the team has found a silver lining this Thanksgiving, and are giving thanks they aren't the Nets.

By trading for Stephen Jackson, the Charlotte Bobcats have made the move they deemed necessary to lower the morale of their team. Morale had clearly been too high and team chemistry had just been a little too perfect. Acquiring Stephen Jackson, a guy that has been disgruntled everywhere he's been, is certainly a move in the right direction to adversely effect team chemistry and lower team morale.

LeBron James says that he is willing to initiate the movement for all players to pay homage to Michael Jordan. He says he will lead that movement by switching his number from 23 to 6 next season, and by publicly insulting everyone he has ever met, taking a cue from Jordan's hall of fame speech.

Tim Donaghy's unpublished book alleges many things regarding NBA officials. According to Yahoo Sports, Donaghy admits stars get preferential treatment, some refs have it in for some players and coaches, and a losing home team is likely to get a favorable whistle to make it competitive. NBA commissioner, David Stern, feels that all of the blown calls by umpires is a more pressing issue.
"Did you see that guy they called out?" asked Stern. "That was ridiculous. Major League Baseball clearly has more of a problem with its umpires than we have with our referees. Besides, the notion that the NBA tries to fix games or give preferential treatment to its star players is preposterous. Now if you'd be so kind as to leave my office, we are about to discuss who should qualify for this year's playoffs." |

As he has done in his previous stops, Shaquille O'Neal has applied to become a special deputy, this time in Cleveland. However, Shaq is looking at holding an entirely new fake cop position, and would like to be the Cuyahoga County Special Deputy of Fudge.
"I really like fudge," said O'Neal, naturally in between bites of chocolate peanut butter and chocolate pecan fudge. "Besides, LeBron can pretty much do everything around here, so I should be free to do whatever I want. That is as long as it doesn't involve working on my basketball skills or conditioning." |

The Cleveland Cavaliers season began with an opening night loss to the Boston Celtics, a 95-89 defeat at home. The Cavaliers were in their patented stand around and watch LeBron 4th quarter offense, but were completely thrown off when James' teammate, Mo Williams, accidentally touched the ball. After having the ball, he clearly appeared flustered, and immediately threw the ball out of bounds off Shaquille O'Neal's knee.
"I don't know what I was doing," said Williams. "I guess I just panicked and touched the basketball, then threw it at Shaq to quickly get rid of it. I apologized to the team after the game for leaving my role of standing in the corner for a brief second."
Head coach Mike Brown understood the mistake, but vowed that he would do all he could to not let it happen again.
"We need to do a better job of getting out of LeBron's way in the 4th quarter. Maybe we could go stand out of bounds or something. I don't know. I won coach of the year employing that strategy and I don't plan on changing it now." |

The NBA figured they would have some issues using replacement officials during the referee lockout, but they did not think this would occur. During the latest Miami Heat pre-season game, a confused replacement official called Dwyane Wade for a facemask penalty.
"At first I thought he was joking," said a frustrated Wade, "but then he marked off a 15 yard penalty. Still not quite sure how that worked on a basketball court, and then he gave the ball to the other team. It was weird."
Rick Cole, the replacement official, says that it is just part of adjusting to the NBA game.
"It's just part of getting used to basketball and the speed and skill of these athletes. Usually I referee junior high football, so I guess I forgot where I was. Hopefully my pee wee hockey experience doesn't get me in trouble where I try to give Kobe Bryant a 2 minute penalty for slashing or something." |
