The bigger they come

Ten Talking points:

-The Atlanta Hawks are looking good because of defense. Perhaps the influence of Randolph Morris cannot be ignored for too long; even if he has 3 DNP-CDs on the year.

-Aaron Brooks has real talent, and everyday I wish he could just be inserted in to the starting lineup and replace Rafer Alston.

-Puerto Rico has produced many fine NBA players over the years, but none of them have won NBA championships.

-Japan has produced one NBA player, and he was a pretty mediocre third string point guard.

-There was a ridiculous amount of jewery in the NBA back in the day.

-Spain is producing NBA players at an alarming rate; Casual masturbation to Ricky Rubio vids all day it seems.

-Has Eastern Europe hit its peak of NBA ready big men? Mile Ilic, who plays ok for the ACB squad Unicaja, just might miss his time in East Rutherford.

-Stanford produced less douchebag white-stars on the court than Duke has in the last 20 years, but that's not really saying all that much.

-This might just be the year that Amaré Stoudemire drops 60+ in a game.

-Greg Oden is gonna be ooook.
