Empty the Bench's latest post in his "Scribes of the NBA" series is an interview with yours truly in which I weigh in on such important topics as my favorite SCTV performer.

The Oklahoma City Thunder website is live. Lame logo, boring colors. I have to agree with my co-worker, Lennon, who says it looks like an Arena Football logo. The Oklahoma City NBA Sports Blog doesn't like it either. They might want to consider coming up with a better name for their blog before throwing stones. I'm just sayin', is all.

True Hoop suggests that Ben Gordon may have made up the offer from CSKA Moscow. Henry also reports that Monta Ellis probably isn't being entirely truthful about what caused his injury.

ESPN reports that NBA rookies Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were thrown out of the NBA's rookie transition program because they were caught smoking weed with some ladies in their hotel room. In case you didn't know, the purpose of the program is to teach young men like Chalmers and Arthur that it's not a good idea for NBA players to smoke weed and hang out with groupies. The ironing is delicious.

SLAM Online plays "Truth or Myth" with Allen Iverson's legacy.

In a conference call with Sixers media, Donyell Marshall credits Kevin O'Neill with becoming such a deadly three-point shooter from the corner.

Hornets247 thinks the Hornets could win 61 games this season.

Free Darko's Bethlehem Shoals puts the Republican Party on blast. I tend to avoid talking about politics here, but this rant was too good to ignore.
