Want to Watch the NBA on the Go, There's an App for That

NBA League Pass released an app yesterday allowing users to watch non-blacked out games on their iPhone. The app costs $39.99 and will likely need a renewal next year. While it is expensive, it lets users watch 40 games per week right off the iPhone's 3G network (wifi works as well). The app also has full game archives, replays, highlights and more. League pass is pretty expensive if you want to buy it for TV. NBA Digital also has a broadband version of League Pass that starts at $90 for the season. So while 40 bucks is a lot for an iPhone app, it's a better price than the alternatives.

It's Been a While Since Jayson Williams was in the News

Former Nets superstar Jayson Williams was taken to a Manhattan hospital for a psychological evaluation early today after he barricaded himself inside a hotel room and was acting "suicidal" and "violent," authorities told The Post.

Williams, 41, was removed from his room at a Manhattan hotel at 4 a.m., police sources said.

Once inside the hotel, the officers confronted what sources described to The Post as "a suicidal man" who was acting "violent."

The cops called an Emergency Services Unit for help since Williams had trashed his room.

Once there, sources said, the officers used a Taser to subdue Williams, who was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital for a psychological evaluation. [NY Post]

Marcus Jordan and the Jordannaires Win Championship

Marcus Jordan's game-high 19 points carried Chicago Whitney Young past Waukegan 69-66 to win boys Class 4A championship Saturday.

As Jordan and his teammates celebrated on the court after the final buzzer, father Michael Jordan stood quietly, clapping his hands with tears in his eyes.

Marcus is No. 5 (orange) with the headband and goggles. Fast forward to 3:47 to see a quick shot of His Airness just being Marcus's dad.

"Crying?" the NBA legend said in response to a reporter's question. "I'm not crying. Not for me, anyway."
