Russ previewed the Central Division earlier, which was followed by a profile piece on Joakim Noah. Now we've got the story of Danny Granger, who will either prove to be a franchise player or a fraud as the Indiana Pacers continue their search for respectability:

Whatever it was, Danny liked it, felt in tune with it, and went from pool hall to pool hall in search of it, cocky as all get out.
