NBA shot blocking is part art, part science, and all about denial

I would block a guys shot and say . . . And if you come back again, well do it another time. So youll have to find something else to do.

Bill Russell

Its the early 1990s. Dikembe Mutombo is walking around Georgetown, where he once blocked 12 shots in a game, with Bill Russell. The retired Boston Celtics star tells Mutombo that he could become a great shot-blocker in the NBA, even better than he was.

Mutombo considers Russell the best ever, and watches every tape he can find of him. He listens to Russells tips, about timing, about studying opponents moves, but Mutombo wonders, How can he tell me I might end up being better than him?

‘The Art Of Pho’: A Motion Comic Based On Julian Hanshaw’s Graphic Novel (VIDEO)

In the young field of motion comics — stil comics brought to life by animators — one of the best has to be Lois van Baarles adaptation of the whimsical Vietnam-set The Art Of Pho, originally by British artist Julian Hanshaw. Winner of the 2008 Observer/Cape prize for his illustrated short story, Sand Dunes and Sonic Booms, Hanshaw conceived of Pho, his first graphic novel, after taking a trip to Vietnam and drinking copious amounts of the ubiquitous street broth. His delicately-drawn tale of an imaginary creature named Little Blue who learns how to make the perfect bowl of pho is an ideal candidate for motioning, being both beautifully illustrated and perhaps too restrained in Hanshaws...

Kirk believes such a tax hike would cause the nation to tumble back into recession.

In the Republican-led US House, Kirk said the top option is to suspend general fund additions to the Federal Highway Fund....
