Magic Wands: May 15, 2009

-The wonderful story of The Polish Hammer.

-The Magic have a new song to commemorate their playoff run this year. Sadly, it is not "Ain't No Stopping the Magic." Anyone find that yet?

-A moment of silence for former Magic coach and Hall of Famer Chuck Daly, who passed away last Saturday.

-Introducing NBA Europe. But wouldn't it be a better idea to try and create a league of the already established superpowers and try to bring them into the NBA fold. I know that is David Stern's master plan.

-TNT continues to get solid ratings for the Playoffs.

-Don't usually like Bill Simmons, especially after his tweet that complained about Dwight Howard stepping over the free throw line on his intentional miss in Game Five... again, Bill, really? You are complaining about a missed call in that game? But I digress. Simmons sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to talk about sports and some random network stuff. I am taking a class on this and while Simmons litters (read: dominates) the conversation with too much sport and pop culture references, Gladwell's brilliance hopefully shines through.
