Links of the Day (October 17, 2010)

• Interesting article about Phil Jackon's psychological treatment of Pau Gasol. They'd get plenty out of him if they went to him more. If Jackson, the supposed genius, wants more from Gasol, he'll need to get Kobe to give up the rock. LA would not have had to squeak out Game 7 against Boston had they not waited until the fourth quarter to recognize where the biggest mismatch on the floor was.
• Zach Lowe lists 11 duos (well, ten duos and a trio) to pay special attention to as they run the pick-and-roll, RwH's favorite play.
• Canis Hoopus borrows from George Karl in suggesting how to get the most out of Michael Beasley.
• LeBron's new shoe isn't exactly modern-looking. Looks like something Larry Johnson/Grandmama might've hawked 15 years ago.
• Pepperdine's Keion Bell dunks over seven people at Midnight Madness. As impressive as that is, it's actually my third favorite thing in that video. The second is his 360 with the pass between the legs at around the 20 second mark. The first? "Club Can't Handle Me" playing in the background during the first dunk. That's right; RwH is a closet Flo Rida fan.
