...poor dear. Pinker may flirt successfully with psychology, neurobiology, and evolutionary theory, but his class is jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Le sigh. But on the bright side: Pinker’s brain is as big as his mullet, if not as big as his ego, he’s a dynamic, entertaining lecturer, and he plays bizarre clips of himself and cute toddlers that feature Alan Alda for literally no reason.

To that end, Krzyzewski plans to shuffle different starting lineups during the World Championship, a bit of a risk, since pros tend to want to know their roles. "You can't allow anybody to lose his ego," he says. "That would be us beating us." The world keeps getting stronger; defending Olympic gold medalist Argentina, starring Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, is back, and France, with the Spurs' Tony Parker and Boris Diaw of the Phoenix Suns, will be among the tough outs...
