This week’s international edition features a Jeremy Lin cover that’s special to certain parts of Asia, while the rest of Asia, the South Pacific, Europe and Africa will see Kim Jong Un on the cover. 
Inside both editions is a great piece on the lost Libyan revolution, more news from Syria, the cover story on Kim Jong Un and our feature on Jeremy Lin, which is also inside this week’s U.S. edition. 

Obligatory.

Lin vs Kobe.

Lin vs Kobe.

The official Twitter account of the 2012 All Star Game has announced the participants in this year’s Slam Dunk contest: 

  • Derrick Williams, Minnesota Timberwolves
  • Iman Shumpert, New York Knicks
  • Paul George, Indiana Pacers
  • Chase “Ginger Balls” Budinger, Houston Rockets 

If this was the best that the Association could do, then they should’ve canceled the slam dunk contest all together.

Lakers to retire Shaq’s #34 next season.
Good to see the Buss family, who are always classy, and Shaq both taking the high road. No matter how you slice it, this it great for the NBA.

Lakers to retire Shaq’s 34 next season.
O’Neal will be the eighth player in Lakers franchise history to have his jersey retired, joining Wilt Chamberlain (No. 13), Elgin Baylor (No. 22), Gail Goodrich (No. 25), Magic Johnson (No. 32), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (No. 33), James Worthy (No. 42) and Jerry West (No. 44).
 In the eight seasons he spent in Los Angeles from 1996-2004, the Lakers made the Finals four times, winning three championships, and O’Neal led the league in scoring while being named regular season MVP in 1999-00.

Jeremy Lin Anthem: Linsane in the Brain 

Lin’s presence in New York is being forged into a might marketing sword for both the Knicks and advertisers. So a Lin-anthem was just a matter of time. Personally, I’m holding out for the Jeremy Lin fathead. 

This might become a bigger phenomenon than Tebow, mainly because Jeremy Lin is actually good at what he does.
