“He just said it was the point of no return. If he holds on much longer, we might never get out of this. We might be in a position where we didn’t make the playoffs, and he didn’t want that for us. He said as a team, we were talented enough to make the playoffs and make a run and that he really wasn’t getting through to us the way he wanted to.”
—Jared Jefferies about Coach D’Antoni in The New York Times

“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.” — Maurice Sendak (via cutesy)

“If we want to continue to grow as a human race, what are we teaching our kids if we try to make humor and fun out of stuff like that? Number one, something like that never happened. I don’t know where they got that from. For a strong black woman like that, for people to try to tear her down, that’s terrible. That’s terrible in so many ways.” — Delonte West swats down an ugly and pernicious rumor. (via nbaoffseason)
Riots? These shoes might single handedly bankrupt the world while making Phil Knight the richest man, ever.
Guaranteed to start a riot within the next 24 hours. I hope no one dies over these.
