Steve takes a snapshot of himself every minute for 1 day.
awwwwee cutest video ever.!
An animal behavior expert from Tufts University explains what’s actually going on in the most adorable video you’ve ever seen.
“Mummy is doing what mummy cats do. Like humans, they sort of fall in love with their babies—the hormone involved is oxytocin, it’s involved in all sorts of bonding, even between humans and their pets—so she’s cuddling up and keeping her baby close. She seems to be in slow-wave sleep, not REM, and the kitten’s movements seem to disturb her slightly. One limb happens to be under the kitten, and she puts her other paw across and feels the presence of her baby. To me it’s a perfectly natural example of maternal care and affection to a kitten who’s dreaming. You could refer to it as a hug. They’re mutually bonded and I think they enjoy the presence of each other. Human analogies are not entirely inaccurate.”

So tell me: Friday, Scottie pippen was featured on the “mike and mike” sports talkshow, and said “Michael Jordan may be the greatest scorer ever, but I think Lebron might be the greatest player ever.”
It’s gotten a lot of criticism, but I want to know how everyone around here feels about it. If you have any interesting stats or opinions, please respond.

On Balls Out: Bethlehem Shoals’ NBA Finals Preview
This isn’t the NBA in transition, it’s a rupture, a one-way ticket to Rod Serling’s parlor. Miami versus Dallas. What, exactly, hangs in the balance? Dirk could use a ring, but his reputation has already undergone a massive overhaul—and his legacy received a good deal of just recognition—from the run he has had so far. Jason Kidd is a Hall of Famer, and a master of his position, title or no title. Sometimes, the greats don’t get their championships. Sometimes, we hold this against them; sometimes, we don’t. Kidd is in that latter category. There’s a painful irony to Shawn Marion reaching the Finals when Steve Nash never has and likely never will, but that neither elevates Marion nor makes us think less of Nash.
