Orlando Sentinel Blog [via @jeskeets]: Oh, that picture up there? It's Dwight Howard at the grand opening of Universal Studios' Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Why do you ask?
Slam Online: As long as Slam keeps posting videos of NBA players on stage at hip-hop shows, so will we. "If you like that defense make some noooiissseee!"
Bullets Forever [via Ball Don't Lie]: The slogan for John Wall's first Reebok shoe is "The energy drink for your feet." Exclamation point and question mark!? Because even though that doesn't mean anything, it's kind of perfect. And the sneakers themselves are like a glow-in-the-dark (honestly) throwback to the mid-'90s classic Shaqnosis shoes. Between these and KD's new Zooms, the current NBA sneaker landscape is strong. Your move Wesley Johnson.
Ball Don't Lie: Great piece by Trey Kerby that sums up the current free agent atmosphere almost as well as our own Endless Pat.
Yahoo! Sports: So not only did Kobe's otherworldly drive rub off on teammates like Dwyane Wade and LeBron James at the 2008 Olympics, but on a 21-year-old Lionel Messi as well. This should be Kobe's retirement plan: Become some sort of nomadic, mystical motivational speaker who jets around the world, pushing superstars to become legends.
