Because the NBA is a sweaty, masculine place, let’s inject some estrogen into the equation.  This is Sylvie Van der Vaart, who’s married to Dutch soccer God Rafael Van der Vaart, who’s making the old country proud.

While you stare at Sylvie’s ears, eat your Frosted Flakes and ponder the questions of the world - This morning’s quagmire: Can I get testicle cancer from laptops? – enjoy the following links…

- Ray Allen thinks it’s an honor to play in the All-Star game. 

- T-Mac says he’s back.  No one believes him.

- OJ Mayo needs to show more passion, according to Fox Sports.  You try playing on Memphis (and in Memphis).

- Turns out that Eddy Curry was the father of one of infant that was killed alongside Curry’s ex-girlfriend.

- Cuban and Nellie are going to mediation to settle their contract dispute.  My money’s on Cubes.

- Rajon Rando’s jumper scares me.

- Should the 76ers trade Andre Miller?

- Stating the obvious: Paul Millsap isn’t leaving Utah.

- So yeah, Baron Davis and Marcus Camby came back last night.  And the Clip show still lost by 20 to the lowly Bulls.

- Speaking of the Bulls, former Bulls great Corie Blount was indicted on drug charges yesterday for allegedly pushing marijuana.

- Jason Kidd for Jerryd Bayless, and addressing the Amare rumors.

- I’m really digging Ben’s Suns blog.  Today he’s requesting that the Suns look into running the triangle offense.  That could be interesting.

- Bill Simmons’ column in the current issue of ESPN Magazine about the two underrated players in sports was spot on.  Kevin Durant is way underrated in the league, as we saw with his line last night.  But do we really have to rip Simmons?  Can’t the guy write something without 1,000 bloggers railing against his opinion?
