Kirjoittelen pientä arviota, kunhan saan luettua. Kovasti ovat jenkkilän pojat kehuneet.
Bill Simmonsin korisaiheinen kirja on käsittääkseni myös tulossa tuonne adlibrikseen myyntiin jossain vaiheessa.
It's official -- onetime Minnesota Timberwolves bad boy J.R. Rider is back in professional basketball.
Rider, 38, has joined the North Texas Fresh in the reconstituted American Basketball Association (ABA), the team has announced.
"I am personally glad to have him," said Jay Bowdy, owner and CEO of the Fort Worth-based team. "It is a blessing to have someone whose talent I admired so much growing up."
Rider hasn't played organized ball since a 10-game pit stop with the Denver Nuggets in 2001-02. Leading up to this attempt at reviving his career, the shooting guard was working out in recent months and playing pickup ball with local college guys in suburban Phoenix, where Rider now makes his home, said Rider's agent.
"I'm not worried about what others have to say," Rider said in a statement released through the team, which will play its home games in a high school gym with a seating capacity of about 3,000. "I'm excited about being in the North Texas area and a part of the North Texas Fresh organization. I am ready to come out and play ball." Rider had a string of arrests both during and after his career for drug use, assault and other crimes. He also racked up large fines and suspensions during his playing days for offenses that ranged from being tardy to practice to spitting at fans.
Bowdy said Rider still dreams of returning to the NBA. "If we're a steppingstone, we're fine with that," Bowdy said.
Rider's agent, Joe Lee, said last month that his client would love to return to the Timberwolves.
The Fresh is making its debut in the ABA, a minor league that harkens back to the original ABA that made its mark in the 1960s and '70s with a red-white-and-blue basketball and a high-flying style. The current ABA has dozens of franchises across the country. The Fresh opens its season late next month.

Celtics forward Glen Davis underwent surgery to repair a broken right thumb today, according to an NBA source, and could miss two months. It has been confirmed that Davis got into an altercation with a former teammate and broke his thumb defending himself.
According to a Waltham Police report filed early Sunday morning, Davis sustained his fractured thumb in a fight with childhood friend Shawn Bridgewater on a quiet Waltham street after a night out with their girlfriends.
According to Detective William Stanton, both Bridgewater and Davis said an argument regarding an interaction between Bridgewater and Davis's girlfriend earlier in the evening sparked a fight.
Bridgewater, who apparently had been drinking, punched Davis, who retaliated. Davis pulled the car over and the fight spilled into the street, according to the report. That is when an unknown person called 911 and reported a possible domestic incident just after 4 a.m.
Owner Wyc Grousbeck confirmed to the Globe this morning that Davis is likely to be suspended by the team for his role in the incident.
The Celtics re-signed Davis this summer to a two-year contract worth $6.3 million. The Boston Globe reported that owner Wyc Grousbeck is considering suspending Davis for his actions.
“Wyc has been on the warpath for two days over this,” a league source told Yahoo! Sports. “They want to get money back from him.”
The team has been hurting financially, the source said, and Grousbeck sees this as an opportunity to recoup some of Davis’ salary.
