Newfound double-double maven Troy Murphy really enjoys being one of only two decent rebounders on the Pacers so as to pad his stats. And he really, really enjoys taking top-of-the-key threes while trailing in transition.
But contrary to popular belief, neither of those is his ultimate calling in life.
“I’m going to be an event planner — weddings, bar mitzvahs, everything like that,” [Troy] said. “That’s my passion. It is.”
Good luck, Murphy, and thanks to Indy Cornrows for the link.
Coincidentally, you can also read one of the few NBA-related things I did during my hiatus over there — presuming, ya know, you give a shit about a Pacers/Kings game from two days ago where K-Mart and Granger dropped 45 and 35, respectively.
Additionally, I answered some questions for Cuzoogle.
UPDATE: I also answered some questions for TalkHoops. God knows why people are asking me things.
And I swear I never saw Ball Don’t Lie’s exact same photoshop until just now. My bad, Skeets. I would just take it down since I was second to the party apparently but, c’mon, mine’s better.

I really can’t see myself writing much about the Kings this year. Now that Ron Ron is gone, there is literally nothing even remotely interesting about that team aside from Kevin Martin. Essentially, the only thing you need to know about Sacto is that when you type “yahoo kings” into Google, the Yahoo! Sports page for the Los Angeles Kings is the first result.
Yet, I was just checking out SacTown Royalty and saw that they were discussing avid bear/alligator hunter and notorious blunt afficianado Brad Miller, who is always enjoyable. And I thought this (which is a discussion of his contract/tradability as a guy not part of the team’s future vs. his current valuable production, and not a discussion of him being a malcontent or anything) was brilliant.
Brad Miller, welcome to the rest of your life as a Sacramento King. You are the new Ron Artest, the player that will eventually polarize a fan base that will be divided over your continued existence in Northern California (grab a bat, John Salmons, because you’re on deck). Many fans will find it incredible that we would entertain notions of trading our most selfless player, especially one that would leave at least a temporary gaping hole at his position. Others will rail that he is overpaid and not part of the future of this franchise. Brad Miller will become a riddle wrapped in a conundrum wrapped in a zig-zag.
So I’ve now fulfilled my quota of non-Kevin Martin-related Kings news for the year — before the season even started no less. This is like getting your taxes done on January 15.
But, yeah, mostly this was just an excuse to post this photo.
