I just like this exchange for some reason...
Mike (Boston): Bassy Telfair's "dedicated the entire summer to basketball". I can't figure out if this makes me happy because he might start to hint at his potential or full of rage over the fact that Ainge traded for a point guard who needs to be arrested and almost released to think working on his game in the off-season might be a good idea.
Bill Simmons: I love when players say this. Seriously, you have to love the NBA - it's the only league where someone can say, "Hey, I spent the summer working on the job that you're paying me to do" and everyone else is like, "Wow, that's great news!"
