Scouting Report

Scouting Report is a new category of posts that I created to simply show links from around the web that have caught my attention (serious, fun, sports culture, video, anything in between). Make sense? I have wanted to do this for a while, but I couldn’t decide on a title. So, for now, this title will do.

NBA players seem to love the Cheesecake Factory
I love it as well and I can see why the NBA players do: Quality, variety, large portions, open late, and they can afford it.

Karl Malone in his prime
Dime magazine makes a point that Karl Malone had game despite all the sweet dishes John Stockton was giving him. They show an edited video of all his career high 61 points.

Len Bias Documentary in the works
Bounce Magazine had a nice spot on this up and coming documentary. Len Bias played college ball at the University of Maryland in the 80’s and was mentioned in the same sentence with Michael Jordan, who was at North Carolina, as the great college ballers of the day. Bias was the 1986 #1 draft pick in the NBA, by the Boston Celtics, but never played a game because he died of a drug overdose.
