Wow. Joakim Noah not mincing any words on KG. (Via @KCJHoop)http://bit.ly/cu52Bg Any else think C’s aren’t league’s most popular opponent?
I guess JoNo didn’t stay to get KG’s autograph after the game. I read an article a few years back (probably 10 years now) written by an anonymous NBA player on how to cheat and get away with it, essentially how to use cheap little maneuvers to help give yourself an advantage defensively or when rebounding. Here are a few of the “tricks” I remember him writing about:
1) When you turn around to box someone out, make sure you also put your foot on the top of theirs to prevent his from outjumping you to the rebound. This also works when you are posting someone up, step on the top of their foot before elevating for your shot.
2) When guarding someone you is driving on you, use the space between your thumb and index finger to control their outside hip (the hip away from the basketball). Always make sure you keep this low and don’t let their be too much space between you and the defender or the refs will see your hand. And your opposite hand should be up in the air to give you illusion you are playing good defense.
3) When a shooter gets hot from outside, jam your fingers into his elbow. The goal here is to hit the funny bone and throw his shot off for the rest of the game.
It’s been awhile since I read the article, so I’m sure there are other tactics one could employ. Just watch game tape of Bruce Bowen, I’m sure you will discover more.

RT @Rachel__Nichols: Excellent story in Post-Gazette on Roethlisberger. Behavior of officer in case shocking http://tinyurl.com/y3bt4gv
Is it too early to give Big Ben a new nickname? Rapistberger? What, too soon? That story sure sheds light on the massive massive incompetence of the police force in Georgia. If I ever want to commit a crime, I am moving there first.
A janitor cleaned the bathroom 8 hrs after the sexual assault took place because no one had told him not to do so. When the police went back to the scene of the crime because their original samples were poor, they discovered Clorox and Pine-sol instead of Ben’s DNA. Without any DNA evidence, there was little reason for Big Ben to comply with any requests for an interview. The police had no case, so why give them the chance to make one by giving them the opportunity to ask you questions?
This is a story that’s died a little with NCAA march madness, baseball, and the NBA playoffs taking over recently. But from what I’ve heard the Big 10 is looking to become the Big 14, not just the Big 10 + 2.
