Shaq was trying to channel Biggie Smalls in his recent rap attack on Kobe, but he probably ended up being closer to what Beavis and Butthead might have said.

I feel like I need to write something about the Celtics easy romp over the Lakers for the franchise's 17th World Championship, and first since 1985-86, so here goes.

The Top 24 list I've currently got posted doesn't include Dwight Howard. That's creating some controversy, with some folks firmly behind me and some thinking I'm completely nuts.

I would just like to see some great games, a great series and a couple fouls like this one.
