Brazil Wins Thrice; Sir Charles Wants a Throne

Leandro is keeping his game sharp by leading Brazil past the New Zealand Tall Blacks during a FIBA World Championship warm-up series. Leandro had 19 pts and six rebounds to lead his team to the third victory over the other team. Barbosa is making a conscious effort to correct his mistakes and those of the team before the World Championships begin.

In a Yahoo Sports Exclusive Steve Kerr Says that the Suns have a 'Free Agency Best Buy' by adding Sean Marks and I believe him,

Marcus Banks was the Suns' big acquisition this summer, and he'll provide excellent defense and speed and be a good backup to Steve Nash. But Marks, who signed a minimum deal, just might crack the rotation. He didn't play much in San Antonio, but Phoenix is the perfect place for him. Marks is an excellent shooter who should fit right in with the Suns' pick-and-pop game. He's close to 7-foot, athletic and has the shooting range to spread the floor and open up driving lanes for Nash.

it's just poetry. I guess he thinks he could make a change to the culture in Alabama and improve the situation. Let him try because people will listen to him. Or not. I'm not a Political Scientist or anything but i'm sure he could do a better job than the Governator.
