Nets Land Stud, Change Landscape of NBA

In the biggest move so far since the lockout ended, the Net Jersey Nets nabbed wanted man, superstar, and arguably the most coveted free agent on the market: Mr. Candace Parker.

The former member of the Hawks, Timberwolves, Knicks, Nuggets, Kings, and Celtics will most certainly become the favorite target of Deron Williams. He may or may not pair alongside Dwight Howard.

Candace Parker has yet to make an official statement regarding where the couple will reside.

If You See Something, Say Something: Sushi, Mixed Emotions, and Jackson's Passion

IYSSSS is our semi-regular internet intelligence report, a liberal arts approach to following the NBA on the Web. E-mail us at jewsforjesusshuttlesworth@gmail.com if you've got any suggestions.

Petro Flies Solo at Nets Gym: The Nets' Johan Petro, was the only player to hit the hardwood when the Nets opened their facility for the first time this season according to this ESPN.com article. After dropping 3.5 points per game in the 2010-2011 season, Petro's clearly on a mission and is wasting no time. Where was Brook Lopez you ask? Filming a gum spot is my best guess.

Steve Kerr's Passion For Sushi: Turner's new mini-series, Open Court, features all of their ex-player-now-analysts waxing poetic about whatever random topic Ernie brings up. From favorite movies to on-court nemeses, these conversations are epic. In the video linked above, we learn that Steve Kerr's favorite food is sushi. And as for Shaq, well, he's all about crushing a brownie as an appetizer.

Does Danny Ainge Like-Like Rondo?: After CP3 for Rondo rumors swirled around Google machines everywhere, Danny Ainge came out on record claiming that, "Rondo knows we love him. Rondo knows we like him." Well, which one is it Danny, do you like him or love him? What are your intentions with my point guard, Danny? You know, Danny, Rajon is special to me, I'd hate to see someone harm him in anyway.

Mark Jackson Won't Accept Mediocrity: This video on the Warriors official website introduces Golden State to their new head coach, Mark Jackson. Preacher, analyst, and player, Jackson spits straight fire every second of every minute in this interview and reminds that he's a coach in the NBA! "Latch onto the back of the bandwagon cause things be changing in the Bay Area." More of that please, but mention Steph Curry next time.
