Fire officials believe that Wednesday's fire that killed three children was started by a chlid playing with a lighter. A seven year old accidentally caused the fire in the foyer of the Coney Island apartment, and the apartment's duplex layout, with entrance upstairs and bedrooms downstairs - with no exit - trapped the three others, sisters Jahgira Sheffer and Jahnae O'Pharrow, and their uncle Ricardo Clark, a 16 year old who played basketball at Lincoln High School. A neighbor who lived in a similar building in the complex at Ocean Towers told the Post the fires in the apartments could leave people "blocked like a rat stuck in a maze."

Will Sebastian Telfair be a success or a failure in the NBA? Would he have benefited as a player by going to school or was it better for him to cut and run? Gothamist secretly thought he would be going pro when we wrote about him last time, but we aren't sure if he can succeed with his height. Only time will tell. At least he knows how to do business, putting the adidas announcement before his own announcement. For those of you hoping that he could join his cousin Stephon Marbury on the Knicks, keep dreaming. The Knicks don't have a first round draft pick this year.

Telfair is already a star (check out the gallery Newsday devotes to him), with Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, Spike Lee , and 12,018 other people in attendance at The Garden. Gothamist wonders if Telfair will be the next Kevin Garnett or the next Leon Smith.
