Subtle, yet screamingly obvious

Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley are well known to NBA fans as very tight friends. They were teammates in Houston for 5 years and were traded together to Orlando this offseason. Orlando just traded Mobley to Sacramento, and some of the ensuing quotes are quite revealing. Anyone who doubted it when I said, via my source at ESPN (ok, it was Seth), that they were a couple, read the stories about the trade and tell me I was wrong. Just to be clear, I'm not saying anything's wrong with it, it's that I find the whole situation to be interesting and amusing. The money quote:

I can't put it into words. Playing with a guy, living with a guy, just knowing that every day when I wake up that's something I can count on, that I'm going to be in practice or in a game with Cuttino. Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for.
