    Oregon Live: All-Star audition: LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love lead their teams
    "After you talk about something for so long, you just have to go out and do it, you know?" Aldridge said Thursday. "I've talked about it for so many years, it's just time to play at an All-Star level, and if I get in, I get in. And if I don't, I don't. But I can't keep talking about it every year, because it gives people something to talk about, to bring it up."

    ESPN: Marc Stein Weekend Dime
    "Some slight recent slippage from Matthews can't keep me from singling him out of this crowded group. The five-year, $34 million contract he snagged from the Blazers in the summer, which so many of us loudly questioned at the time, made total sense by Christmas thanks to the undrafted Matthews' fearlessness and productivity when asked by Portland to do some of the things Brandon Roy's knees aren't letting him do these days."

    Racine Sports Zone: BUCKS BEAT: Przybilla, Bucks reunion could be in the cards
    "I definitely wouldn't mind playing for the Bucks," Przybilla said. "My first preference would be to stay in Portland; I have to see what their plans are for me.But my second choice would be Milwaukee. I wouldn't mind playing there at all."

    Ball Don't Lie: Donald Sterling allegedly acted terribly in the Clippers locker room
    "Sterling's actions remain alleged, and it's often the case that facts get exaggerated. But if you're looking for pretty much the exact definition of a "plantation mentality," this is it right here. Bringing women into a locker room and having them prize African-American men for their muscular bodies is pretty much the height of treating African-American men as physical specimens rather than people. Sterling's essentially treating his players like animals at a zoo here, and it's as disgusting a story as you're likely to here about an NBA locker room this decade."

    SLAM: Amar’e on Phoenix: ‘It Felt Like I Wasn’t Wanted’
    “It’s something I couldn’t have imagined for the simple fact of how we’re winning and how beautiful the city and fans are,” said Stoudemire, the NBA’s second leading scorer to Kevin Durant at 26.4 points per game. “It’s rock-star status here in New York. If we would’ve kept it together in Phoenix, we could’ve had the same success. I’m satisfied. I wouldn’t do anything different "

    DIME: Daily Fantasy Diagnosis: 1.7
    "Tyreke Evans had another big game, putting up 27 points, five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals against the Nuggets last night. He shot 61 percent (11-18) from the field, 100 percent (5-5) from the free-throw line and had just one turnover. In other news, Evans is opting to stay home instead of play in the Rookie-Sophomore game during All-Star weekend to rest his feet. Owner beware."

    Hang Time Blog: All-Star Arguments
    "It can’t only be about the wins and losses. There has to be room on these teams for special performances by special players that just happen to be stuck on lousy teams. "

    ESPN: Daily Dime
    "The San Antonio Spurs. Yes they're playing a style that usually doesn't work in the playoffs, but we know this group can play slower and defend if they have to. I can see them switching up and featuring Tim Duncan more in the postseason. And Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker know what it's like to beat the Lakers."

    ESPN: Kobe Bryant leads All-Star voting
    "Boosted by the huge online vote total he receives from fans in his native China, Yao was voted as a starter the first seven years of his career, from 2003 to 2009. He was not on the ballot last season, when he was out for the year with an injury."
