...Kevin McHale and Robert Parish would create all sorts of mismatch problems for Rick Fox, Samaki Walker and Shaq. McHale was the best post man the NBA had seen for 20 years until Tim Duncan recently came along, and if you think the likes of Wallace, Webber and Duncan exploit the Lakers glaring weakness at the power forward position today, the Celtics’ Hall of Famer would light it up like no one else...

What knaves these mortals be! How smart they are, though...
...that people will pay for the scandalous inside scoop. Does Jim Cramer--the money manager turned TV shouter--make that cut? Well, he does now. With a seriously flawed expose by a former employee being recalled, re-lawyered and republished--and Cramer's own memoir rushed into print to exploit the news--there's plenty of heat to sustain both books and keep Cramer where he likes to be: in the spotlight...
