The 2013 All-NBA D-League Alumni Summer League Team Selections

The 2013 NBA Summer League session is officially in the books, and now we can look back at which NBA D-League alumni stood above the rest, and who perhaps increased their offseason stock in the process. Here are the 2013 All-NBA D-League Alumni Summer League Selections.

With over 100 NBA D-League alumni in Las Vegas for Summer League this year, there were plenty of former NBADL talents for personnel and scouts to observe. It is an opportunity unlike any other, and many of the players involved hoped to make an impact and showcase their readiness for the Association, or a lucrative contract overseas.

Which former D-League standouts performed the best? Who capitalized on their opportunity in Vegas, and potentially earned a spot on their respective Summer League team's upcoming training camp roster? There were plenty of highlights, breakout individual performances, and strange jerseys in the stands worn by fans. But who did enough to earn a spot on the 2013 All-NBA D-League Alumni Summer League Team?

First Team

Kent Bazemore - Golden State Warriors - Guard

The former Santa Cruz assignment player had an incredibly strong showing in Las Vegas. Bazemore helped lead the Warriors Summer League squad to the first-ever NBA Summer League title, behind solid and well-rounded play. Bazemore finished with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in Golden State's final game against Phoenix.

Prior to the championship game, Bazemore averaged 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 steals in six games. The 6-5 versatile guard likely impressed Golden State management as well as head coach Mark Jackson, and with his improved overall game, Bazemore, may be more than just a source of encouragement for his teammates this upcoming season.

Andrew Goudelock - Chicago Bulls - Guard

Goudelock demonstrated his scoring prowess once again, especially in his second game, where he dropped 31 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the field, and 5-for-6 shooting from beyond the arc. The reigning NBA Development League MVP, showcased his best skill, scoring, but was it enough to secure him in the minds of NBA personnel?

Sure, there are plenty of scorers in the NBA, but on the heels of his rather impressive first round playoff series against San Antonio, Goudelock scored in double-digits in all but one of his contests at Summer League, and might be the backup scoring option a handful of NBA teams are looking for.

Malcolm Thomas - Chicago Bulls - Forward

Thomas finished with the highest rebounding average in Summer League (15.0), and in his three games with Chicago displayed his tremendous ability to establish optimal rebounding position underneath the hoop. Offensively, the D-League journeyman of sorts (Thomas technically was a member of three teams in 2011-2012, and two teams in 2012-2013) didn't exactly light it up, but more importantly reassured onlookers of the skills that he can provide for a team.

After his outstanding Summer League performance, and with Chicago apparently unable to retain the 24-year-old Thomas, a number of NBA teams will likely take interest in the 6-9 forward. Thomas' record-setting 22 rebound performance against Denver, certainly won't hurt his stock going forward as well.

Jordan Hamilton - Denver Nuggets - Guard/ Forward

Hamilton spent a part of his rookie season in the NBA D-League with the Idaho Stampede. In six games, the 6-7 forward from Texas, averaged 9.6 points and 5.3 rebounds. At Summer League, Hamilton averaged 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 26.8 minutes for the Nuggets.

With the movement in which Denver experienced this offseason, Hamilton has his best shot as a professional to earn a significant role with the Nuggets. A noteworthy Summer League performance was crucial in his progression, and as Hamilton enters his third season with the Nuggets, it appears the former Longhorn is ready to make an impression in the Mile High City.

Aron Baynes - San Antonio Spurs - Center

The former Austin Toros assignment player from a year ago, had a huge showing in the desert. Baynes averaged a double-double (12.0 points and 10.5 rebounds), and displayed enforcer capabilities during his four games for San Antonio.

As a member of the Toros, Baynes averaged 13.9 points and 8.7 rebounds in 11 games. The big man who spent this past season as a rookie for the Spurs, still has some improving to do regarding his low post repertoire, but San Antonio should be impressed with what they saw out of the former Washington State Cougar.

Second Team

Josh Akognon - Dallas Mavericks - Guard

Will Barton - Portland Trail Blazers - Guard

Mike Scott - Atlanta Hawks - Forward

Quincy Acy - Toronto Raptors - Forward

Jarvis Varnado - Miami Heat - Center

Third Team

Stefhon Hannah - NBA D-League Select - Guard

Lester Hudson - Los Angeles Lakers - Guard

Marcus Landry - Los Angeles Lakers - Forward

Jeremy Tyler - New York Knicks - Forward

Chris Johnson - Minnesota Timberwolves - Forward/Center

Sex offender charged with murder after 3 women found in Cleveland suburb

Three charges of aggravated murder are made against 35-year-old Michael Madison.

By Gil Aegerter, Andrew Rafferty and Alastair Jamieson, NBC News

Prosecutors charged a registered sex offender with murder and other felony charges after the discovery over the weekend of three female bodies wrapped in garbage bags in an impoverished Cleveland suburb.

Michael Madison, 35, was charged with three counts each of aggravated murder and kidnapping in connection with the deaths of three women whose bodies were discovered Friday and Saturday in the city of East Cleveland, Mayor Gary Norton said at a Monday press conference.

Judge William L. Dawson told Madison at his arraignment Monday that the murder charges are punishable by a possible death penalty or life in prison. Madison, a registered sex offender, appeared stoic and unblinking. He did not enter a plea during the hearing, where bail was set at $6 million, and waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

Norton earlier identified one of three victims as Angela Deskins, a resident of Cleveland believed to be 38, whose body was found in a backyard Saturday ? the second grisly discovery during a macabre police search through the city. She was identified through fingerprints.

Michael Madison glances at court-appointed attorney Marlene Rideenour during his arraignment in East Cleveland on Monday.

The two other victims ? one found in a garage after police responded to a report of a foul odor Friday, the other found in the basement of a vacant house Saturday ? have not yet been identified, Norton said. A medical examiner Monday said that it may be difficult to identify those victims because their bodies are so badly decomposed.

Officials said one of the two ?Jane Doe? victims has several tattoos that they hope will provide clues to her identity, including two tattoos that say ?Gene? and one, on the left breast, featuring the name of hip-hop artist Lil Wayne.

Authorities initially believed the women were killed six to 10 days before their bodies were discovered, but charges read in court on Monday indicated the killings may have happened months earlier.

Norton told The Plain Dealer newspaper that Madison indicated in police interviews that he might have been influenced by Anthony Sowell, who is on death row for killing 11 women ages 24 to 52 at his home in the city.

Sowell, who is also a convicted sex offender, was captured in 2009. In court papers, prosecutors described him as "the worst offender in the history of Cuyahoga County and arguably the State of Ohio."

Two months ago, Cleveland was shocked by the escapes of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. Ariel Castro was charged with 977 counts in connection with the abduction and rape of the women, who were held captive in his Seymour Avenue home for more than a decade.

Police arrested Madison on Friday, hours after investigators found the first victim's body in a garage.

Authorities continued looking for more possible victims into Sunday night before calling off the search, East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts told reporters.

"We officially found nothing," he said. "We will not pick up the search again."

A Cleveland suburb is on edge after police found the bodies of three women who may have been murdered by a serial killer, NBC's Michelle Franzen reports.

During the search, a cadaver dog led investigators to a lot near the area where the three others bodies were found, according WKYC. Other cadaver dogs also hinted at the same area. The bodies were found about 100 to 200 yards apart.

Nathenia Crosby, 48, said Madison was a neighbor who concerned her because of his interest in her daughter.

"It's very scary, especially when he used to be talking to my daughter," she told the Associated Press. "But I told him he was too old to be talking to my daughter, because she was only 19. When I found out how old he was, I said, 'You need to move on; she's too young.'"

Teenager Daniqwa Martin told the Associated Press she smelled an odor near the house Tuesday but ignored it, thinking it was a dead animal. Martin, 16, said Madison had offered her a ride in the past but she always declined.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiners Office told reporters it may take up to several days as they work to?identify the?dead women because the bodies are in an advanced state of decomposition, WKYC said.

M. Alex Johnson and Daniel Arkin of NBC News?and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

What Are The Different Types Of Health Insurance? | BlackDoctor

Different types of health insurance plans meet different needs. When you compare options, it?s important to understand how they are structured.

LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine?For LIFE!

Health Maintenance

Organizations (HMOs) and Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs)

HMOs and EPOs may limit coverage to providers inside their networks. A network is a list of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers that provide medical care to members of a specific health plan. If you use a doctor or facility that isn?t in the HMO?s network, you may have to pay the full cost of the services provided.

HMO members usually have a primary care doctor and must get referrals to see specialists. This is generally not true for EPOs.

Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) and Point-of-Service plans (POS)

These insurance plans give you a choice of getting care within or outside of a provider network. With PPO or POS plans, you may use out-of-network providers and facilities, but you?ll have to pay more than if you use in-network ones. If you have a PPO plan, you can visit any doctor without a referral.

If you have a POS plan, you can visit any in-network provider without a referral, but you?ll need one to visit a provider out-of-network.

?

A fake video of an eagle abducting a baby has been followed by a rash of eagle shootings in Wisconsin, according to one of the state's top wildlife rehabilitators.

?

When an eagle is shot in Wisconsin, it is usually taken to Marge Gibson's Raptor Education Group Center near Antigo. Gibson says since the fake video went viral on YouTube a little over a month ago, four eagles and a rough-legged hawk have been shot and delivered to her doorstep ... more than she usually gets in a month. ?That's a lot more. They actually come from all over the state. Two were from the Hayward area, one from the Green Bay area, one from Almond Wisconsin, and another from further south."
