"The surprise is the extent of his triumph. He is the NBA’s Most Harmful Player, and there really is not a close second."

The “20 Most harmful Players” article is just alarming. If Colangelo does get resigned, and this guy is still on the roster next season, this team is doomed for the foreseable future.

I Think It Has Something To Do With Bargnani's Radio DJ Gig

There are a bunch of photos of Bargnani behind what looks like a radio DJ microphone including some of Bargnani smiling at pictures of himself in a Raptors uniform/T-Shirt.
