John Wall and Marcin Gortat met privately last week to confront each other about where they stood with one another, according to Chris Hayes of ESPN. After a victory over the Raptors back on Feb. 1, the team's third straight win with Wall sidelined due to knee surgery, Gortat tweeted: "Great 'team' victory." Last week, during an appearance on SportsCenter, Wall replied, "It was more just shock to hear it from him, understanding he gets the most assists from me and the most spoon-fed baskets ever." Per the ESPN report: "The meeting, which didn't last long, facilitated the airing of grievances, but sources say there is still more work to be done to fully repair that relationship."It's festivus already?

Looking at his career, how good has he really been? Has he ever been a top 5 pg? In his time with Boston, you had CP3, Tony Parker, Russ, Deron Williams(?)(Remember, this is during his all-star season of 09-13)... Who else?

I hate Rondo but he was actually a positive influence in the Bulls locker room last season. Better than loser Wade

Shaquille O’Neal: Dominique, Dr. J, Michael Jordan. If you look at my emblem, I stole my emblem from Rony Seikaly—the way he used to dunk in college, he used to kick his legs up like he was crazy. So, I started doing that. Then I was in college, and I was taking a marketing/branding class. I looked at Michael Jordan's emblem and the way he dunked, he spread his legs out, and I said, “You know what? Michael has the jumpman, so I’m going to make mine dunkman.”

Dee Brown: My thought going into the last dunk was I needed a signature dunk—some dunk that was unique, that identified me like Michael Jordan from the free-throw line, like Dominique Wilkins’ windmill. … I’m sitting on the box, thinking, I need a signature dunk. I need a signature dunk. What can I do? What can I do? It came to me. That’s what came to me. That’s exactly how fast it happened.
The last dunk, the no-look dunk, I’d never practiced before. I had never did it. So I had no idea I was going to do that dunk. I made it up as I was running to the basket. That was the first time I ever did that dunk. I was originally just going to close my eyes, but nobody would’ve saw that. So, I said, “OK, I’ll just put my hands over my eyes.” And as I jumped, the hand just kept going. My eyes are still closed and then my head went into my elbow and the rest is history. Either I was going to make it and we talk about it 25 years later, or I was going to miss it and we talk about it 25 years later.

Jason Richardson: Gilbert Arenas. He was my teammate in Golden State. He always had these crazy ideas for dunks. He could never get up that high, but he used to have all these crazy ideas. And we used to be in the gym. He used to always come up with these things: “You need to do this. You need to do that.” He’s like, “I’ve got a dunk for you for the dunk contest.” “What are you talking about, Gil?” He was telling me about this dunk and I was like, “Yo, I don’t think I can do it.” “Trust me, J. You can do this dunk.”I tried it like two or three times and I couldn’t complete it. But I know if I get to the dunk contest—that was something I always dreamed about as a kid and always wanted to do—I could get an extra five or six inches on my jump. Because I’m excited in that situation. So, I said, “OK, I need to save this for my last dunk. I think I can pull it out.”So, we get to the dunk contest, and Fred Jones comes with a spectacular between-the-legs dunk. I was like, Oh, my goodness. I said, “I don’t know if I’m going to win this dunk contest.” And I remembered Gilbert gave me this dunk and I said, “OK, let me try it and see if I could do it.”
And when I did the dunk and I landed, I didn’t know if people were going to be excited or what, because I never completed the dunk in practice. So, I was trying to wait and see. You could see when I landed. There was a pause.It shocked me at first. I was like, Wow, I actually did this dunk that I thought I couldn’t do—the take-it-between-your-legs, reverse, and dunk-with-your-left-hand. And I was like, Wow, I actually did it.

Dwight Howard: I had practiced all those dunks that I used, and I still had more to go. I started trying to give them to guys who was in the dunk contest, stuff that I had been working on for years. Stuff that I haven’t even done yet.Some of the ones that Gerald Green did in the dunk contest that he was in [were my ideas]. There were some dunks that I was doing in the back for warm-ups, and he actually did one in the dunk contest. Blake [Griffin] did one. But I didn’t tell him. I had told somebody else. Then Blake ended up doing it. I wasn’t upset about it. One of my friends is friends with DeAndre [Jordan], and I think he showed him the dunk or I showed DeAndre and DeAndre showed him, but it was just fun to see.
…There’s this dunk that I was doing in high school. It’d be hard to explain for a fan, but I would take one dribble from half court and two steps and just take off, either go between the legs or just fly, take off and dunk. I would literally take one dribble, boom, two steps, one, two and then take off. And that was kind of like my thing. The other one I was working on, I couldn’t quite get it, and I can see guys are working on it now. It’s a double between the legs. The last one is the double windmill. I was working on all that stuff. I hurt my back. After that, I wasn’t able to do it like I wanted to do it.

Dee Brown: I had one dunk. I couldn’t really do it, because they wouldn’t let me take the nets down. It would’ve taken too long. So, for me to do this dunk, I would’ve taken the nets down and just have the rim. It was a dunk where you dunk it and when it comes out the rim, you catch and dunk it again. [With] the net, it would’ve been too hard. I tried it and it didn’t work, because it would slow it down and I wouldn’t be able to get the ball out quick enough to dunk it. And then the other one I had was throw it off the bounce, catch it off the bounce, touch the backboard and do a 360. I had that one in my pocket, just in case.

Shaquille O'Neal: First time was in high school. I dunked it. The backboard was cracked and the rim was bent. But the place didn't have a breakaway, so the second half, the other team, all their jumpers were off, because the rim was bent.

Snowden has already commented on this. Messages are stored on Apple devices until they are uploaded for screening to the NSA. Apple holds these messages on your device and on the cloud service. Once the information has been uploaded to NSA, the messages then delete off your device. In order to not arouse suspecion, the device will always show you some amount to data as space being occupied on your device. Theorecically this data could be over written and not protected if they were on hidden sectors of your memory. The information stored on this "messages" partition is actually more than messages, thats why this space commitment can easily reach 3 gigs. Any computer science specialist will tell you that ASCII characters only use minimal kilobytes of data. Apple complies with this request to upload your personal data as outlined in the Patriot Act. The only way to delete this "messages" data hold is by doing a complete wipe of your device and not conducting a restore. It will clear the space off your device, but NSA actually has the information from the cloud service regardless.
I never read the full extent of the Patriot Act's reach but I just figured everything was monitored. Didn't know there was a direct upload to NSA servers.
