For this edition of MLM, I asked for the opinions of my fellow writers here at Beantown Banter. Your fabulous owner, Stephen Bailey, suggested Raef LaFrentz. So I said, what the hell? Let’s do the Raefer.
LaFrentz played in Boston from 2003-06 after being traded there from the Dallas Mavericks in a package that sent beloved star Antoine Walker to Dallas. Needless to say, Raef...

Video: Rajon Rondo off-the-head alley oop to Rudy Gay
Yeah, this off-the-head alley oop isn’t bad. I guess Rudy Gay’s injury is healed. I guess Rajon Rondo is still somewhat creative. I guess I still miss NBA basketball more than humanly possible.P.S. It’s Jason Williams’ turn next in the “absurd pass” version of H.O.R.S.E. Damn it, Raef Lafrentz. You’ve gotta finish that assist.(h/t Ben Rohrbach)

Commitment from top center boosts Iowa’s rebuilding effort
When Adam Woodbury announced Wednesday night that he plans to attend Iowa next fall, the promising 7-foot-1 center's decision was significant on two fronts.
Not only is the Sioux City native's commitment a boost to second-year Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery's bid to rejuvenate the program, it also ends North Carolina coach Roy Williams' lengthy streak of plucking top...

Haaland: Curtains on the Big 12
By Kirk Haaland, CycloneFanatic.com Contributor
It’s kind of an eerie thing, really. I actually remember life before the Big 12 came into existence and now, 15 years later, change is on the horizon. The landscape of the conference and the Iowa State men’s basketball program has changed dramatically in that time.
Fifteen years ago on March 2nd, Iowa State beat Colorado at...

Featured Video: 1997 Border War Was An Instant Classic
On February 4, 1997, Missouri notched arguably the biggest upset in the history of the Border War, toppling the then-top ranked and 22-0 Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas had a lineup that featured four future NBA players in Paul Pierce, Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz and Scot Pollard. With time running out and the game tied during the second overtime, Missouri’s possession looked doomed...

Junior PG Marcus Paige picks UNC
Whether he's at Kansas or North Carolina, Roy Williams treats the state of Iowa as if it's a suburb to his current location. Raef LaFrentz, Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Harrison Barnes, all from Iowa, each elected to play for Williams. On Saturday, point guard Marcus Paige (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Marr) became the fifth Iowan to cast his lot with the coach. The No. 27-ranked...

Josh Selby's Kansas Debut Sparks Love Affair in Lawrence

The Famous Project
A few years ago, I wrote a column stating that Raef LaFrentz is the most famous “Raef” in American history. This seemed a pretty uncontroversial stance, at least to me, but a big-time editor (rather unconvincingly, in my view) made the argument that he actually was second-most famous … behind Rafer Johnson.
Now — you tell me. One is named “Raef....

The top 10 finest All-Star moments of the last decade
OK, we know the first decade of the 21st century doesn't
really end until 2011. We think. But we also know there have been 10 full NBA
seasons played since the phrase "Y2K" was on all of our lips
(1999-2000), and here at Ball Don't Lie we've decided to use this as an
offseason excuse to rank some of the best and not-so-brightest of the 10
campaigns in question...

Really do this:
