Hubbard column: Live from New York! It’s the NBA and Saturday Night!
By now, the writers responsible for Saturday Night Live spoofs are papering the halls of NBC with Kim & Kris scripts. After a couple of weeks off, a new show is scheduled this week and you can bet Kardashian-Humphries will get major play. Ah, the NBA and reality TV: Fantastic! The announcement Monday of divorce plans between the couple came after only 72 days of marriage. You can google “Kardashian and over-under” and see that projections of how long the relationship would
Chris Paul and Jim Dolan, buddy-buddy?
NEW YORK — There is word out there this morning that federal mediator George Cohen might be asked to re-join the NBA collective bargaining talks to guide these blind men to the finish line. So while we await word on that, let’s all chew on this. From Marc Berman of the New York Post: “(Jim) Dolan, part of the owners’ negotiating committee, is content about one of the agreed-upon aspects of a new collective bargaining agreement: the size of the salary cap will

Mitnick Column: Hickson coming to Israel
This past Friday, Sacramento Kings forward J.J. Hickson signed with Bnei Hasharon/Herzliya of the Israeli Basketball Super League for the duration of the NBA lockout. In a bizarre twist, Hickson landed in Israel several months after being traded from Cleveland in exchange for Israel’s first NBA player, Omri Casspi. The fifth current NBA player to sign in Israel during the lockout, Hickson’s acquisition comes with a mountain of expectations, considering that he is the most heralded prospect to make the leap. Despite having all the
Heisler Column: Say the secret word, buttheads
Say the secret word, will you, buttheads? Groucho Marx had a quiz show where contestants who said the secret word got $100, delivered by a papier-mache duck dropping in over their heads. The word was easy, but not as easy as the secret word in the NBA lockout, which owners and players just have to utter for a duck to come down and give them $4 billion. We even know the word, just as Groucho’s audience did … It’s “Fifty-one!” That’s also represented as 51
