I love Baron Davis, love Don Nelson . . . [but] Golden State as a city sucks.
Anyone remember when they gave Barkley a map of the world and a list of countries to identify? I can't recall the exact details, but he did something like place Bolivia in Europe.
Anyway, the NBA has come a long way since its lame-o "NBA Cares" Rob Thomas days now that they have the New Pornographers as the voice of the playoffs. Maybe Carl Newman figured that it couldn't be any worse than selling out to the University of Phoenix. Which can't be any worse than selling out to the Outback Steakhouse (Of Montreal), Mitsubishi (Flaming Lips), M&Ms (Iron & Wine), Nissan (Modest Mouse), UPS (Postal Service), or Cesar dog food (Magnetic Fields). And no, I'm not making the last one up.
I guess I don't really mind, since we all have to make a living somehow. It's just kind of weird.
(By the way, Carl explains the whole University of Phoenix thing in a pretty amusing interview with Pitchfork that you can read here.)

I think Barkley thought Argentina was somewhere in Asia. He got some others wrong too but that was the worst one.
