Ballin’ For Darfur?
Stereohyped (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008
Last May, LeBron James was asked by his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Ira Newble to sign an open letter urging China to change it’s relationship with Sudan prior to the Olympics. James declined, saying that he needed to educate himself about what was going on in Darfur before he signed something. At the time, people thought [...]

Report Card - Ira Newble
LA Times (Free subscription) | 06/23/2008
As mentioned earlier, the grade criteria comes in large part by impact on the season. A search using two different engines produced the photo below (and a small handful more, tops) of Ira Newble on the court in a Laker uni. That basically summarizes his affect on 2008's outcome. As for why he couldn't get on the court, I can't say for certain. On one hand, Newble was simply an acknowledged insurance...

Newble draws attention to Darfur conflict
Fox News (Free subscription) | 06/15/2008
The children drew pictures of women with babies being shot in the back by soldiers, of helicopters and planes dropping bombs. Those pictures and the faces of the children who drew them remain sharp in the mind of Ira Newble, the Los Angeles Lakers forward who visited two refugee camps in Chad last August and heard stories from victims of the deadly conflict in Sudan's Darfur region. "They watched their...

The big news, the only news, really, is that Trevor Ariza will indeed be in uniform tonight. How much he'll actually play remains to be seen, but at the very least he'll play as much as Ira Newble, the guy he's replacing on the active roster. PJ said he's capable guarding little fellas or guys with more size, but given the length of his absence it's doubtful (at least according to Jackson) that Ariza...

A Baller’s Experience In Darfur
Signal to Noise (Free subscription) | 05/20/2008
It probably got a bit of attention when Ira Newble was still playing in Cleveland and circulating a letter to China about the genocide in Darfur that then teammate LeBron James refused to sign, but more is fine by me. The L.A. Times has gotten around to profiling the Lakers’ bench player (although not a [...]

Lakers' Newble opens NBA eyes to Darfur
LA Times (Free subscription) | 05/19/2008
Trip to a Darfur refugee camp in Chad embeds the cause in Newble's mind. Among his activities have been sending a letter of protest to China for its role as a supplier to the Sudanese government. The faces haunt Ira Newble, their silent anguish sometimes drowning out the joyous noise of a Staples Center crowd, their looming presence a jarring reminder that genuine do-or-die struggles in life don't...
