John Stockton, Ultimate Love Guru


Check out this honest and hilarious interview with one of the greatest point guards in the history of basketball about how he married his long-time wife.

Some Highlights:

"Twofer Coupon on the first"
"Painting with my momma on the second"
"Police ruined the first proposal"
"Sweatpants and Romance"
"Wrong word"

Not surprised by how humble of a courtship the Stocktons had, cause in terms of NBA players and even people in general, John Stockton always came off as one of those low-key and low-maintenance type of guys.  With all the stories about marriages going down the drain in professional sports and particularly in the NBA,  really hope you enjoy hearing a marriage can turn out pretty good (6 kids!) even sans all the fluff and flash that our culture makes dating out to be nowadays.  Hats off to Stock for finding his lifetime teammate and the great stories he has from the journey.

Too Nice:

Steph Curry put up a triple double with 18 points, 12 assists 10 rebounds and 5 steals.  Iguodala went off as well hitting 7 threes and making this very wordy no-look-behind-the-back-cross-court pass.  He can also catch really far alley-oop passes.



Neat first week for Michael Carter-Williams, the second rookie ever to win Conference Player of the week in his first week in the league (Shaq was the first to do it).  However, C-W's Sixers got whooped by the aforementioned Curry, Iggy and the Warriors.

Tough:
Celtics still havent won. The hero for the Grizz was Jerryd Bayless who hadn't made a shot in the game up until the fourth quarter, but made six in a row in the final period.  Again, Jerryd Bayless was the hero torching Boston for 15 points in the fourth.  This might be a long year for Celtic fans.

Uncle Drew played his old buddy Wes last night. Drew's Cavs won after Wes was unable to hit the three at the buzzer.  Thank you Pepsi for making those names actually mean something.

Treat, unless you're a Rockets Fan:
Clippers put up 42 points and Dwight Howard had 3 fouls in the first quarter.  I mean Chandler Parsons had this nice dunk, but it was called off cause of a Rocket offensive foul, so it was that kind of night for those Houston guys.

Woop:



There it:

Other: Congrats to Chris Bosh on the birth of his daughter...A Code of Conduct video made by the Hawks that you can kinda sing along to...The league is still really serious about flopping...The Piston's have a guy who looks kinda like movie Jesus...Jamal Craw Craw just moved up to 15th all time for 3 pointers made, passing up the 90's favorite, Eddie Jones...

A bit late on this gem, but here's the Thunder selling some Hyundais.


Russell Westbrook Missed His PB&J Sandwiches



According to CBS's, Royce Young, the thing that Russ missed the most when he was out with his knee injury was sandwiches. His exact words:

"Coming in and eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, stuff like that."

Never have I been more curious about the exact taste of a specific make of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as the one Westbrook has before games.
