Stephen Curry and Steve Nash are physically large in the real world, but on the small side of the NBA spectrum. Although one is a wily veteran who sounds eerily like Will Arnett and the other is a fresh-faced newcomer who can easily recall his college days, the two men share one important thing in common that led them to the ever-enviable position of sitting across from me this past Wednesday: They both believe in Samsung's new phone, the Galaxy S3.

In my ongoing quest to investigate what athletes are like during their offseasons, I stole Curry and Nash away from their cell-phone promoting duties and attempted to chat with them about the months that they spend off the basketball court. Attempted.

Some news, from the Shanghai Daily:

For the first time, the NBA is partnering with a non-US film studio to release a major film overseas, the producers announced at a global press conference last night in the city.

Go on, SD.

Athletes are at their best in the offseason. Let's celebrate their antics.

On May 21, the Los Angeles Lakers were knocked out of the NBA playoffs. Here's what Metta World Peace tweeted about the outcome the next morning:

Not the ending we wanted. The team that played together won! Congrats OKC.Laker fans thanks for your support:)

Disappointed, but classy. A great gesture to the better team. One would assume Metta would take a little time to get out of his funk, but that would be far from the truth. Lest we forget, the NBA season is Ron-Ron's offseason. The period of time not playing professional basketball is his true time to shine.
