Alvin Gentry shows up to press conference buzzed, because it’s been that kind of NBA season
Garrett Ellwood(Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)As my colleague Coleman Bentley likes to point out, the National Basketball Association has morphed into a soap opera. In case any context is lost in that statement, there's no positive connotation to that comparison. Though we're fans of the league, it's an observation that's been on the nose the past few seasons. Jimmy Butler staged a hissy-fit at practice that, coincidentally, went right into an ESPN interview. Draymond Green called Kevin Durant, the two-time reigning Finals MVP, a “*****” in the middle of a game. Kyrie Irving said he doesn't want fame months after starring in his own movie. J.R. Smith threw a bowl of soup at a coach and forgot the score of an NBA Finals game.

Minnesota’s Kevin Fiala flips teammate’s stick back to him in what’s easily the most mesmerizing video of the year

On Sunday night in a game between the Nashville Predators and the Minnesota Wild, Wild defenseman Anthony Bitetto lost his stick while his team was in the Nashville zone. Normally, if your stick is broken, the only option is to go to the bench and get another (unless you're playing in a men's league, then you're sh*t out of luck). Even if it isn't broken, players rarely take the chance of trying to retrieve it, because it could put teammates in an odd-man situation while you're in the corner trying to find your twig. Your best move is to play on and get a new stick when you have a chance.
Or, you could have a teammate like Kevin Fiala, Minnesota's young left winger who eliteprospects.com described as having a “slick skill-set with soft hands, good stickhandling and brilliant puck-control,” before he made the NHL. They pretty much hit the nail on t..
