The NBA is exploring the idea of putting nicknames on the backs of jerseys for Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets players in at least one of their match-ups this season. The "nickname jerseys" would feature names like "King James" on the back of LeBron James's jersey or "Shuttlesworth" on the back of Ray Allen's jersey in reference to his "He Got Game" character "Jesus Shuttlesworth."

I went to an XFL game. I recall it being more entertaining and less annoying (from a constant noise standpoint) than an NBA game.

Don't forget flopping all over the place like you got hit by a truck when you weren't even touched in all reality.

And predetermined outcomes heavily influenced by the "refs".

There are 15 teams in the Eastern Conference. Only two of them - Indiana and Miami - have a winning record.
