+ The top five most absurd Clark Kellogg lines from last evening. {The Dagger.}

+ An interview with Harmon Killebrew. {Bugs & Cranks.}

+ North Carolina was worth all the hype. {Larry Brown Sports.}

Quotable:

“And now, we come to what should be the topic of the hour, Allen Iverson. I find it fascinating that, ever since the 2001 Finals, even those who decry ballhogs and bemoan the death of the league have a soft spot for the guy. He’s heart personified, guts on a stick, a performer whose sheer visceral and emotional impact on fans is like being hit by an unshorn tidal wave. He is, in short, a stone classic, a Hall of Famer, and one of the most important players in the game (even if you want to argue over whether he’s one of the best). But he’s been both ahead of his time and, in his uncompromising version of the Wade philosophy, a prototype that could not move forward without reforms. It’s a given by now: AI can’t play any other way. Even with Melo, when he racked up assists and worked well with another scorer, he set the tone and rhythm of every possession, and forced all around him to pick on his idiosyncratic sense of timing, space, and cues.” – Bethlehem Shoals
