Look at the top three scorers in the NBA. Right behind LeBron James, the league's best player, are two special guys with some common threads running between them. Both are small forwards on playoff-bound teams. Both had historic one-and-done runs in college: Carmelo Anthony led Syracuse to an incredible national title run, while Kevin Durant dominated college hoops as few freshman ever have. And both learned hoops in famously tough and talented basketball hotbeds: Melo in Baltimore and Durant a short ride away in Washington, D.C. With LeBron, the reigning MVP, known more for his point forward skills and power forward physique, Melo and KD are the two best pure 3s in the game.
Phil Jackson took some shots at Clippers? owner Donald Sterling last night before the Lakers-Clippers game. Jackson was asked about the Clippers? curse and said he didn?t believe in curses, but he does believe in something even more realistic.
?I do think there is karma in effect ultimately.?
?I can?t claim anybody else?s karma. That?s their own making, whatever it is.
?If you do a good mitzvah [a Jewish term for an act of kindness], maybe you can eliminate some of those things. You don?t think Sterling?s done enough mitzvahs to eliminate some of those??
Jackson also added a sarcastic, ?I think he?s well-liked,? at the end of the interview. ESPN thinks Jackson might have been referring to the $2.73 million Sterling paid in a government settlement for refusing to rent apartments to Latinos, blacks and families with children. I guess karma would come into play there. If you believe in that kind of voodoo.
