NBA Essentials ranks our six favorite stories of the day.1. Blazers Edge. Someone has been paying attention to Rudy Fernandez's defense.
2. Interbasket, via BallHype. NBA teams (Memphis?) can now freely court Iranian prospect Hamed Ehadadi.
3. Bullets Forever. An insanely thorough evaulation of Caron Butler's 2007-08.
4. Free Darko. Comparing Usain Bolt to pre-microfracture Amare Stoudemire.
5. Green Bandwagon. Remembering Sherman Douglas.
6. Darren Rovell's SportsBiz. Among the 12 athletes with at least 14 appearances on the cover of Sports Illustrated, half are NBA stars. I'll let you guess who leads the way. (Hint: It's not Sherman Douglas.)

#3 and #6 both go to the same place - Bullets Forever. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a great blog. Meanwhile, I think John Bagley stole at least one of Sherman Douglas' would be SI covers. Chris Corchiani swooped in at the last minute to nab the other.
