Magic Wands: November 6, 2009

-Here are the excerpts to the Tim Donaghy book (via Deadspin). I post this because its contents DO matter to everyone who is an NBA fan. I think you will find that the accusations seem a little over the top, but do sometimes ring true and kind of make sense (in a non-cheating way too). Some of the accusations are also hard to believe considering the source. I will say that it is painfully obvious why the book is not going to be published. Donaghy's writing is very poor.

-Oh free NBA League Pass, we hardly knew ye.

-Love him or hate him, Bill Walton will be missed from the airwaves. One last time: "Throw it down, big man!"

-The line attached to the Magic in this Ball Don't Lie power rankings is too funny not to post. Speaking of which, I never saw "Zombieland."

-It took a week for the national media to get attached to Stan Van Gundy's introductions at opening night. Us, well, it's just Stan.

-Details of Disney's transformation of Wide World of Sports using the ESPN brand.

-The Basketball Jones takes a look at NBA costumes from this past Halloween.

-Happy Topping off Amway Center!

-Vince Carter, hall of famer?

-An incredibly addictive game involving Stan Van Gundy eating the Detroit Pistons. You will never be happier to hear "Deeetroit Bassssketball"
