Thursday Links – Arenas Suspended for Rest of Season, South Carolina Fined for Rushing the Floor, & the Best High School Dunk You’ve Ever Seen

I’m probably the only person in America that didn’t watch President Obama’s State of the Union address last night, but I have a good reason. Not only was I coming up with these awesome links for you, faithful readers, but Jarah Marino went bikini shopping (apparently there’s some great sales right now), and she needed me to help her pick one out.

  • NBA Commissioner David Stern brought the hammer down yesterday on Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for their Wild West shootout a few weeks ago. Arenas has already agreed to not appeal the suspension. The real debate is whether the Wizards will try to bail out of Arenas’ gargantuan $110 million contract. Frankly, I don’t think anyone really cares about Javaris Crittenton. Except for his momma, she just loves her little Hercules (pronounced Her-kuh-lees for those keeping score at home).
  • For those of you who are partaking in the Herm to Hockeytown festivities on March 26th, The Triple Deke has a few rules and tips on general etiquette for the event. Combined with their awesome commercials for H2H, TTD has done a great job promoting the event, and I have a feeling they aren’t done yet.
  • Chris Tomasson at NBA Fanhouse thinks that Richard Hamilton could be the next Piston to be traded. Personally, I wouldn’t want to see Rip be traded too, but I don’t think he’s seen Detroit as “home” ever since Chauncey Billups was traded away, and moving him now would probably be a smart business move. Hamilton was an integral part to the franchise’s success in the last decade and I hope to see his number retired along with Chauncey’s and Big Ben’s once this is all over.
  • Apparently all that ass isn’t enough protection. Kim Kardashian, Ray J’s Reggie Bush’s [insert NSFW term here], will be driven around Miami next week in a bulletproof limo. If I were Reggie, I’d go with a cheaper option: have Khloe follow her around all week. No guy would get within 100 yards of them! (Somewhere, Lamar Odom is not laughing.)

  • No big plans for the Super Bowl? Got some extra cash lying around? If this sounds like you, Chad Ochocinco is throwing a house party for this year’s big game… for $250 a ticket. If I had the cash, I would rather spend it on good booze (for once) and have a night to not remember. But if you wanna meet #85 that bad, hey man, it’s your money.

Rob’s Highlight of the Day

You’ve probably already seen this on Sportscenter today, but it’s worth watching again. North Carolina high-schooler Deuce Bello threw down a between-the-legs dunk in a game. I can only imagine what his coach would have said if he had missed it.
