Things were getting a little too Vujacicy lately
There’s no better modern-day sensation than turning nouns into verbs. Example one:
Dude1: “Yo, bro, let’s ball it up at the Rec center.”
Dude2: “Ya man, let me just motorboat this chick first.”
In both instances, ball and motorboat are both nouns. Such new, expanded vocabulary allows us to express our thoughts and actions through more creative and practical means.

Today, the La la Times reports that Sasha might be taking his act eastward over the pond, amidst a recent ‘trend’ set fourth by founding fathers Brandon Jennings and Josh Childress.

-THUMBS UP: The Celtics bench. No, no; not the 28 combined points, but the hollering, yelling and attempts at distracting Derek Fisher while he took wide open three pointers from the corner. (How can that not be a technical, when a few magic words incites an automatic “T”?) Regardless, their intensity remains unmatched — always standing and rowdy like a high school baseball third base coach — compared to the lifeless, deadbeat Lakers bench. At one point, it looked like James Posey reached his hands out for a block from the bench. But hey,
