LeBron James recently told ESPN that the NBA could benefit from teams having more superstars, a la his partnership with Dwyane Wade and that other guy on the Miami Heat. James used Minnesota’s Kevin Love and New Jersey’s Devin Harris and Brook Lopez as examples of players that he believes would be more exciting on better teams. And that’s fine, because the whole world agrees that their teams suck. But James is upset now that people think he’s pro-contraction, when he never even used the word. Hell, he doesn’t even know what it means…

The Nets point guard hit a 50-foot buzzer beater to push past the Sixers last night, 98-96. This is why I don’t be on basketball; not because of the sudden swings in victory, but because I have no idea who Devin Harris is. I only bet on Pai Gow and Old Maid. Sadly, there aren’t many Old Maid tables running on The Strip these days. I blame the card counters.

Oh, and Nate Robinson had 41 points as the Knicks beat Indiana. Thanks, Yahoo!, for helping me pretend to care about the NBA. See Devin Harris’ buzzer-beater after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Nets point guard Devin Harris is reportedly dating a Dallas bartender/model named Meghan Allen, according to Meghan Allen.  Is it true?  Well, if I can’t believe what The Big Lead reports a nude model said on Howard Stern, then I just don’t know who I can trust any more.  Get ready to read at a third grade level:

Other neat stats: She’s a 34C, and despite the relationship with Harris, she’s going to be on the show Momma’s Boys next week on NBC.

Yes, bra sizes are “neat.”  And being on a television show is a statistic.

Artie (snicker): Do you think he’s cheating on you?
Meghan: No (you can hear her big smile), he loves me, he wouldn’t do that.

This is why I try not to read The Big Lead.  I mean him no harm, and I hate it when I bitch about other websites.  Yet here I am, trying to focus on a story about tits, and all I can think about is how someone who says he can hear people smile writes for a living.

Anyway.  More pictures here.  **huffs entire can of paint**

As close followers of the site know, I’m blogging from London this week, and, as such, I thought this video was nice and relevant.  It’s Mavericks guard Devin Harris at the opening for a refurbished court in south London (David Stern and Michael Beasley were also there), getting schooled on the playground by a polite British fellow in jeans and a v-neck jumper.

As Basketball 24/7 notes, that’s actually Stuart Tanner, a famed British street baller.  Well, famed for British street ballers.  So basically not really famed at all.  But still, it was nice to see him show some restraint after megging Harris on the way to a reverse layup (note that he doesn’t have enough confidence to use his left hand).  I think he even said, “Freshen ya drink, guvna?” after the filming stopped.

Maverick Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has taken the next step in providing the ultimate fan experience for die-hards who have cash to burn: a catalog of extravagant merchandise that crosses into troubling waters.  Oh sure, I want a $90,000 Maverick-themed Mustang and a life-sized Dirk Nowitzki bobblehead as much as the next guy, but some of this looks curiously like Cuban is pimping out his players.

You want the ultimate 18 holes? You got it with a very nattily attired Jerry Stackhouse and you playing Dallas National Golf Club for the bargain price of $25,000. [...]

How about a three-night getaway with Devin Harris to the exclusive Ocean Club resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas? You will fly there on the Mavericks' team jet and have dinner, cocktails and golf with the point guard. The experience is tabbed at $300,000, but only one is available, so hurry.

I'm not quite sure how this would be anyone's preferred way to spend that much money.  I'd rather own a Lamborghini, import a shipment of uncut heroin, and get some new talent in my stable of sex slaves.  But I guess it's good deal for a wealthy lady.  If you can convince Devin to go without a condom, you've got a shot at recouping some of that $300K.
