The New Orleans Pelicans did the world a solid on Wednesday by handing their Twitter account off to Russ Smith for an afternoon Q&A session. The result was predictably wonderful.
Here are some highlights:

As awesome as that was to follow, it was also a pretty brutal reminder of what we're going to be without this winter. As good as he was on-the-court, I don't think there's any question that Russ is the Darrell Griffith of Louisville's Internet era. This is his highlight video.
