Ty pointed out Starbury’s astonishing (+/- of -17 in 5 minutes of play) line against the Bulls, I boldly predicted the future:

Next stop for steph: Greek league, so perpetually enraged fans can fling bic-heated 100-drachma coins at him.

Prospect Park Apparently Now the Private Domain of Professionally Clad Cyclists

Adopted by Madonna
Flees to Havana
