“Confìteor Deo omnipotènti et vobis, fratres, quia peccàvi nimis cogitatiòne, verbo, òpere et omissiòne, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Ego sum melior quam Dwight. Ideo precor beàtam Mariam semper Virginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos, et vos, fratres, oràre pro me ad Dòminum Deum nostrum.” – Nikola Vucevic, after desecrating the bodies of Gortat…

Al-Farouq Aminu 16 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2014)
We all know about anime conventions. It’s where overweight nerds gather to talk about the plot intricacies of their Chinese little girl cartoons, and to argue about which googly-eyed anime girl is the cutest.

Others will have been anticipating…

Evan Fournier is a great fit for what the Magic are trying to do, which is, I assume, to collect as many young, talented players as they can while avoiding any who might become an All-Star some day. That’s exactly what Fournier is. He’s a pretty good player, and easy to like as a foreigner…
