We may have to start making these a bit tougher. Three readers nailed the right answer to last week’s edition of The Bernucca List, which was Team USA’s 2002 World Championships roster, a squad that finished a resounding sixth despite owning home-court advantage. Reader Little Al gets extra credit for adding Nick Collison as an alternate. Edition IV is below. Know the answer? Tweet it to me or post a comment.

Wednesday night’s NBA highlights
By now you’ve probably heard that Kobe Bryant sat out last night’s game against the hallway rivals, the Clippers, because of a torn ligament in his right wrist. And surely y’all remember that cheap shot that Andrew Bynum delivered to J.J. Berea in last year’s playoff sweep, which resulted in a five-game suspension that Bynum will begin serving on Christmas Day. So the big guy is out until the new year, the Mamba is out until nobody knows when, and as Mark
NBA highlights from Tuesday night
The news of the night, aside from Rip Hamilton wearing red and white for the first time in his career, was that Stephen Curry sprained his ankle. From Matt Steinmitz of CSNBayArea.com: “Stephen Curry sprained his right ankle, the same ankle that was surgically repaired after last season, with less than a minute to play in the second half of the Warriors‘ final preseason game against the Kings. He was helped directly to the locker room and looked to be in considerable pain; he did
Last night’s NBA highlights
From Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times: “The Clippers had plenty of fun, turning an exhibition game into an exhibition. Chris Paul wore a Clippers uniform for the first time and had 17 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, showing why the Lakers wanted him too. Chauncey Billups also looked like a great pickup, scoring 23 points in 20 minutes after being claimed off waivers from New York last week. “It was a little extra for me personally,” said Paul, acquired from New

Deals are going down everywhere
We will not try to separate truth from fiction here. We’ll just tell you what is being reported, and we’ll see how it all shakes out tomorrow at 2 p.m. when signings can officially begin. But remember when we told you there were going to be a ton of bad contracts signed because of the stretch exception?

NBPA urges ratification of labor deal
NEW YORK — A memo was sent out this afternoon from the players’ union urging ratification of the new collective bargaining agreement. Players have until 4 p.m. Thursday to vote “yes” or “no” on the deal. In the memo, a copy of which was obtained by SheridanHoops.com, union director Billy Hunter wrote: “Although the players made significant financial concessions, including taking a reduced share of Basketball Related Income, collective salaries will nonetheless increase over the course of the CBA, the players retained
The Bernucca List – Edition II
Here is the second edition of The Bernucca List. Last week’s debut seemed to be well-received, so we will do our best to make these challenging and fun. The correct response to last week’s list is “Active NBA players who have played at least eight years with only one team.” I believe this list is a bit more difficult. If you think you know the answer, tweet it to me. The Bernucca List – Edition II Ray Allen Nick Collison Antonio Daniels Kevin Durant Francisco Elson Reggie Evans Jeff Green Rashard
