The Daily Blast – January 31, 2013

Royce White Will Tie Your Brain Into a Pretzel – Houston’s enigmatic rookie sits down with Chuck Klosterman to discuss the human condition. Important basketball note: White says he’s only shooting about once a week. Here’s where the article starts to get real:

However, there’s a much larger issue at play here, and it’s unrelated to the game of basketball. It has to do with White’s wider view on how mental illness — both his own, and those of others — is destroying the fabric of modern living.

After the jump: you want to be in James Harden’s entourage.

Beardwatch – Kris Humphries can’t touch the Beardness.

Remember what it was like when Houston didn’t have a player who anyone wanted to see in a commercial? I try not to.
