“Cosa Nostra” refers to the Sicilian Mafia. Translated to English, it means “Our Thing.” In a 1963 testimony, Joseph Valachi became the first mafia member to actually acknowledge the existence of the mafia. He also referred to the mafia as Cosa Nostra, making it a household name.

The way he pronounces it, “cosa nostra” also sounds like “casa nostra”, which is Italian for “that’s our house”. This connects with the line above.

San Antonio was doing a good job of hanging around in a game where it looked like they wouldn’t be able to get over the hump. Tony Parker begged to differ. The Spurs defense clamped down and Parker’s heroics ended up getting the Spurs a crucial game one win in Miami.

Kawhi is an essential cog in San Antonio’s defense; his largest contributions don’t show up on the box score. Kawhi did a pretty spectacular job containing Lebron in Game 1.

A coach’s decision DNP may be disappointing for players, but at least it’s better than DNP – Old. (This is from a real box score. Timmy is up there in age, but this is just rude)

This line generated a lot of controversy but MJ did not mean it as an antisemitic remark. In this song, Michael is speaking from the point of view of everyone who has ever been persecuted, for example, for being Jewish or black.

Averages of 14 points and 8 rebounds, while very good, may not be as impressive as the numbers of other players on this list. But Gasol’s impact on the defensive end of the court was undeniable. Little Gasol led the Grizzlies to 56 wins, good enough for the Western Conference’s five seed. It’s pretty amazing to think how many people considered the Pau-to-Lakers trade so lopsided a few years back. Now, it seems the younger Gasol brother has not only caught up to, but surpassed his older brother.

Oh, and he once looked like this:
