Magic Wands: October 16, 2009

-Watch SonicsGate. Enough said. Here is a review from TrueHoop.

-As a reporter and journalism student, the argument of where journalism going is fascinating. The new ESPN local sites offer some promise, but definitely some areas for improvement -- right now it seems like it is just re-purposed content without any real specific devotion. Mark Cuban would certainly agree with that sentiment as he has found ESPNDallas' coverage of his team lacking.

-Olympiakos escaped America with their jerseys. But the U.S. agent who has sued them and won is still fighting to get his winnings.

-Dwight Howard really likes putting stickers on things... and blocking the shots of puny mortals.

-ESPN is rolling out their preview for the upcoming season and held a CoverItLive chat with Chris Broussard and Orlando Magic Daily's Zach McCann. Good read, if you have the time to scroll though.

-A few weeks ago I tweeted that Tim Tebow doesn't get swine flu, swine gets Tebow flu. Well, if you are LeBron James, you might get swine flu.

-The NBA has recently launched a video rule book. Just in time to as everyone seems to be complaining about these replacement refs.

-Oh Dwight Howard and your crazy impersonations.
