Would LeBron James Really Turn Down New York for Europe — and $50 Million?
That's what a source suggests. And we are officially thrown into an unsportsmanlike tizzy.

Knicks Will Not Appear on National Broadcast Once Next Year
Unless, of course, they make it to the playoffs. Why are you laughing?

The Islamofascist Handbook
• To aid in terrorism surveillance, the NYPD has released a jihadi version of The Preppy Handbook, detailing how average Muslim schlubs morph into Islamic terrorists. Grow a beard, renounce booze and broads, play paintball war games, dis the U.S. a lot — you know the drill. [NYDN]

Behold the Power of Crumbling Infrastructure
• Families of 9/11 victims are upset — are the families of 9/11 victims ever not upset? — because the city plans to commemorate the attacks' sixth anniversary in the small Zuccotti park. Instead of, you know, in the middle of a giant construction site. [amNY]

At NBA Draft Party, New Picks Know How to Say Nothing
Only hours after the 2007 NBA rookie class met the sweet relief of draft night — where, for the lucky few, a lifetime of physical labor and overbearing sports parenting finally paid off — the newly minted millionaires got their real first taste of life in the league: the 4th Annual NBA Draft Party at midtown megaclub Pacha, usually the stomping ground of guys who don’t need the top three buttons of their shirts. We’ve never been in the back hallways of an NBA arena after a game, but we can’t imagine the crowd was much different from last night, where the sheer number of booty shorts made us understand how Shawn Kemp has fathered somewhere between seven and twenty-seven illegitimate children.

NBA Draft Tix Go Fast, Sportscaster to Be Left Un-Heckled
There's a group of Knick fans, all graduates of Regis High School on the Upper East Side, who call themselves "The Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society of Gentlemen." They grew famous — or at least became YouTube sensations — with their hilarious mockery of hyperbolic ESPN “analyst” Stephen A. Smith during the second round of last year’s NBA draft. But there is sad news to report about the society: The gentlemen have attended the last six NBA drafts, but, barring a miracle, they won’t be at the Madison Square Garden Theater for this year's picks tonight. Tickets went on sale at 11 a.m. this morning, and the boys were there two hours early. But there were about 200 people in front of them, and maybe 400 behind, and, according to one security guard, only the first 110 people on line were able to purchase tickets before supplies ran out. They'd started lining up at 6 a.m.

NBA's Fashion Forward?
Last night's "Court-ture '07" fashion show (featuring clothes by Jared M. and, of course, Rochester Big & Tall) was another odd development in the NBA's attempts to get classy. It was only last off-season that commissioner David Stern instituted the league's dress code, to the chagrin of players like Tim Duncan, who called the rules "retarded," and Stephen Jackson, who said the ban on chains was a "racist statement." Fast-forward to yesterday's event at the NBA Store in midtown and there's Jared Jefferies (in a "very spring" pink shirt) and Kenyon Martin (wearing dubious fabbed-out golfer chic) hanging lefts on the catwalk.

Maria Bartiromo Feels Pretty, Oh So Pretty
Before Maria Bartiromo was on MSNBC and flying on private jets, she lived a life out of West Side Story. Speaking of Bartiromo, Citigroup head Charles Prince may have leaked the jet-ride scandal to the media. Former Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos uploaded some unintentionally funny government-propaganda films to YouTube. Financier Henry Kravis complained that he wasn't invited to Stephen Schwarzman's blowout birthday party. Brad and Angelina needed beads and masks to escape from a New Orleans restaurant.
