Unless, of course, you're the Squirrel.

        <body>Van R:  thanks for enlightning me on Scottie.  I never knew that.  Kemp is legendary but I didn't think he had a close #2.  Scottie should be used to being #2 on a team, but certainly made a nice living off that.  Now it looks like he's giving back in child support!</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;NBA commissioner &lt;strong&gt;David Stern&lt;/strong&gt; admitted on Thursday that more than half the league&amp;#39;s referees had violated NBA rules about casino gambling, but said none would be punished because the rules were outdated. This from the same hard-line commissioner who cited the letter of the law when suspending the Suns&amp;#39; &lt;strong&gt;Amare Stoudemire&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Boris Diaw&lt;/strong&gt; for leaving the bench momentarily against the Spurs in last year&amp;#39;s playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, this is the kinder and gentler NBA. In fact, the 10 Spot Blog&amp;nbsp;has gotten an exclusive look at the &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; NBA rule book. Here are 10 actual rules you may not have known:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Players can take only two steps without dribbling, unless the third and fourth steps are really graceful&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9&lt;/strong&gt;. First coach-choking offense gets a warning&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Repeat after me: &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Dwyane Wade&lt;/strong&gt; was fouled!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Postseason leaving-the-bench penalties will be determined the only fair way&amp;nbsp;-- the team&amp;#39;s market size&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; When in doubt, fine &lt;strong&gt;Mark Cuban&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt;. If you &lt;em&gt;must &lt;/em&gt;carry a gun, please don&amp;#39;t shoot the paying customers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Players are entitled to at least one free throw attempt for every career All-Star berth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Proper dress code must be followed when sexing up interns in your truck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Humor every ludicrous trade demand by &lt;strong&gt;Kobe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Limit your mistresses to three per city&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
