If you haven’t come across it already, Carnival of the NBA #38 is up at Cavalier Attitude. As always, it’s an amazing display of the quality and diversity coming out of the NBA blogging scene today (which I can personally vouch is pretty much like the swingers scene with less fluids). And thanks to Amar for a little GMTR love in the carnival.

If you happen to be in the mood for even more readin’ after that huge carnival, I came across this interesting article at Slate.com by Tommy Craggs entitled, John Wooden: What the legendary coach gets wrong about basketball. Apparently, Craggs doesn’t think too highly about Wooden:

Wooden, and our beatification of the man, has had its toxic effect on the game. It’s certainly there in the NBA, which over the past year or so has hired a chief strategist of President Bush’s re-election campaign to win back Middle America; instituted an absurd and paternalistic dress code (glossed nicely here); and stood idly by while Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles benched Ben Wallace, one of the hardest-working players in the game, for wearing a headband.
