Michael Ray Richardson will forever be remembered in France because in 1995 he scored the winning bucket that gave Antibes the championship.
Oh yeah, he was 40.

RIP Michael Ray Richardson, a troubled and gentle soul who provided two of the most memorable quotes in NBA history. Asked during the 1981-82 season about the state of his Knicks, he said, "The ship be sinkin'." Asked how far it could sink, Sugar added: "The sky's the limit." You can't make that up.

Quickest way to becoming an NBA head coach: coach Paris Basketball Club.
Portland Trail Blazers assistant Tiago Splitter will assume head coaching position in the interim in place of Chauncey Billups, sources tell ESPN. Nate Bjorken was strongly considered by Portland as well but Bjorken decided it was best for franchise to maintain his current role.

Team USA may not have won gold last year without Cameroon's Joel Embiid, who scored 19 points in the semifinal vs. Serbia.
That's the nature of FIBA competitions, sadly.
