Tuesday night, a pricey Mercedes outside the University Heights gym was
a giveaway that Buckner was back home for some pickup basketball.
 
Hopson had the chore of guarding the muscular NBA veteran, while Buckner matched up against him on the other end.
 
Also from Griffith:
Buckner’s interest in his hometown is admirable: he sponsors a youth
basketball league in Hopkinsville that requires youth attend life
skills classes in order to play.
 
 
 
Former Minnesota Timberwolves guard Troy Hudson is back in
the Twin Cities committed to try and keep a career in music production
alive.

Molly Knight/ESPN on the Wolves: 
Why does a franchise with the cheapest parking in the league ($6), the
ninth-cheapest average ticket ($39.37) and $2 programs seem so
unaffordable? Probably because nobody wants to pay to see a train
wreck. Cutting ticket prices by 2.2% this year did little to make up
for shipping Kevin Garnett to Boston after ownership refused to build a
decent team around him. To make matters worse, rumors that the Warriors
offered a better package for KG have led many fans to wonder if Wolves
honcho Kevin McHale wasn’t conspiring with Celtics GM/BFF Danny Ainge
to make his old team better.
