Good Morning: 2.19.13

Bit of a slow sports news morning. Really, this should suffice: MJ's top ten in-game dunks. Thanks, NBA.

 

 

Brittney Griner scored her 3000th point as Baylor extended their winning streak to 23 games against no. 3 Uconn. Griner moved to eighth on the all-time leading scorers list, knocking down a couple of free throws with 1:05 left in the game to pass the landmark.

 

Oscar Pistorius has been charged with premeditated murder.

 

Wes Welker appears to be heading toward NFL free agency.

 

Johnny Manziel won't be on Texas A&M's campus much this semester: All four of his spring semester classes are online courses. Apparently, going to English class was a bit more of a hassle once he became Johnny Football.

 

Marcus Lattimore claims doctors will be “shocked” at his progress.

 

Darrelle Revis discussed his contract negotiations, saying he is unsure of what the Jets management plans to do. Everyone else is, too.

 

The Boston Celtics have entered the fray for Atlanta's Josh Smith, with Paul Pierce as the centerpiece behind a possible deal.

 

Bucs DE Da'Quan Bowers was arrested for having a .40 cal in his carry-on luggage yesterday at LaGuardia.

 

Adrian Wojnarowski wrote about Kobe Bryant and Jerry Buss, including a nugget that Kobe was almost traded to the Detroit Pistons until Kobe had an epiphany.

 

Manti Te'o doesn't think the hoax should impact his draft stock.

 

Chris Bosh's wife has some words for Lil' Wayne.

 

Today, Tommy John's surgery is a bit like a root canal, according to Braves' manager Fredi Gonzalez. He would know: Braves' Kris Medlen has become the poster boy for recovery.

 

Jose Canseco discusses gravity.

 

FLASHING LIGHTS

 

LA Weekly has declared Kanye West the GOAT of hip-hop.

 

Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z will perform in London's Wireless Festival.

 

Drake declares he's YMCMB for life.

 

 

The King of Pop's son, Prince Michael Jackson, 16, is working as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

 

Big Sean is starting a clothing line called Finally Famous.

DID YOU REALIZE?

 

The United Arab Emirates is set to purchase $200 million worth of US drones. You know, for “reconnaissance.”

 

India has become a data center of sorts, particularly for Great Britain. The British government claims to face 1,000 cyber attacks every hour, and has now struck a cyber security deal with India to keep its data protected.

 

Many of those attacks appear to come from China. A US security firm says over 115 companies and organizations have been attacked and conclude that China is the “most threatening actor in cyperspace.”

 

China says these claims are groundless. They must have detained this journalist investigating cyber crimes for some other reason.

 

Armed robbers came away with over $67 million in diamonds from an airport jewelry store in Brussels.

 

EVERYTHING I AM

 

The Air Force is working on a “micro-aviary”, essentially a mini-drone that can blend in, follow its targets and kill them. Scared of drones yet?

 

 

GOTTA HAVE IT

 

Juelz Santana keeps it simple with Wiz Khalifa and Bucksy Luciano in his video for “Everything Is Good.”
