Draft-pick Rubio doesn't show at Minnesota press conference
We will put no pressure whatsoever on Ricky or his family or his agent during this process, Kahn said. Again, it's something that starts with a threshold issue. It's a contractual issue that he will have to resolve. To the extent that we can be helpful, I said we will. We won't be banging our fists on the table or saying things that are intended to make things more difficult. [Read more]

Shaq goes back to No. 33
Both guys are good guys, Brown said. Both guys like each other. Both guys will be happy to play with one another. And the most important thing is they have one common goal. Those things are the things that are going to make this work. Because they're competitive, because they have that one common goal, I think will help this relationship and make this journey work.

Ben Ball Roundup: UCLA = PointGuardU, Collison's Night & Other
DC became a special Ben Ball warrior last night elevating him to another level beyond AA, JF, RW, LRMAM and KL. He becomes the first four year player under Ben Howland to get drafted in NBA's first round and I think that is pretty significant. Most of you have already read the emotional tone DC struck when he was asked about his four years at UCLA. You can't put any price around those words and you can bet DC will officially now serve as the perfect posterboy for Coach Howland's UCLA program whe [Read more]

Don't hold out hope
But while Carter, Pierce, Nowitzki and Bibby all won awards and/or took their teams into the playoffs, the Clippers remained the Clippers. Their best year with Olowokandi resulted in 39 wins. There were no playoff appearances in five years. More to the point, the Clippers never bothered to re-sign the kid ? almost automatic with a No. 1 pick these days, even if your name is Andrew Bogut and you?ve done nothing to deserve am extension ? and then let him go to free agency, unrestricted.

Will Rubio's flair bounce as high here?
Rubio first picked up a basketball as a toddler in soccer-crazed Spain, coincidentally around the time of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the original U.S. Dream Team. Just shy of his 15th birthday and while continuing to attend his local high school, Rubio started playing professionally with Spain's ACB League, considered one of the best outside of the NBA.

Clippers ready to cash in
“You didn't get many baskets with the Lakers,” said Jones, who played at Turner- Carroll before the Lakers made him their second pick in the 1982 draft, behind James Worthy. “Now with the Clippers I'm getting dunks off, talking stuff, it was totally different. I kept trying to tell those guys, this is easy. Try going to play up the highway. You don't make baskets hardly in practice. It was like going from royalty almost to a level below middle class.” [Read more]
