I can't remember the *scandal* either! I have a faint memory of his mother saying something about something (that's good! ) I was thinking of the year the Pacers went to the playoffs. When they knocked Philly out, Iverson had his head in is hands, distraught and quite emotionally upset, (with himself it seemed). It was a refreshing change from the usual angry, blame spreading whine of many upset players.

Well, so SA won. Good for them! "They say" the ratings for the NBA finals are down....I wonder why? People got spoiled with the Micheal Jordan thing? They want to watch a "star" only? I think it's boring when it's just *Shaq, Shaq, Kobe, Shaq*...or "Air Jordan" all the time! I don't get it. Is it the NBA? People want to see a sure thing? (meaning "stars" being "starlike") Just real "up for grabs", hard fought sportmanship doesn't cut it? Our culture is so lazy!

Well its all about the big names. Big names bring big money. Simple as that. But I agree. Seeing the Lakers over and over gets boring. But I could never get enough of Jordan in his prime. Like watching Barishnikov. You knew he was once in a life time. You wanted to absorb every moment you could have with him.
But anyway now its NBA draft time and the question is who will the Raptors take with the 4th pick since the first three are basically locked up. I think they should take Wade from Marquette. Hes going to be a superstar. But Im pretty sure they wont. Ill be watching the draft tomorrow with the other hoops geeks though.

Well....Pacers got a second round pick...Donnie Walsh says he doesn't need anymore young players who *need work* ...I hope they get someone who will actually play! I can't wait for next year!
Raptors...Antonio Davis! Has he done much since he went up there? He was such a good Pacer! I loved to look at his beautiful body! (I'm sorry to carry on about the Pacers so...I feel like JD talking about NJ ...Pacers are what I really know though!) |

Aw! He was hilarious! I don't know....the tension would get so thick and intense on some of those Bulls/Pacers games, Dennis Rodman helped me chill! Another "big, beautiful body"! So, who's the "stars of today"? Shaq and Kobe, The chinese giant, Yao?...Iverson is a "name"...there's some young names floating around, but they haven't really proved themselves yet. MSN had a bit about 10 most overated atheletes yesterday. They put Vince Carter as #1. I guess I missed all the "next Jordan" hype on him...I must have been busy thinking about Reggie Miller!

I hate lists, period! And overly opinionated sports mouths who will say anything just to get read or listened to. One reason I have a hard time watching ball games on TV...some of the talkers...I want to strangle them!

Just a little tidbit to share on Labron James. He graduated from St. Vincent/St Mary's High, which is roght down the street from my house. He is also friends with my son and my nieces boyfriend. He attended my great-nieces first birthday party last month, and he has been to my house a few times. I surely do hope that he can turn the Cleveland Cavs around.

No doubt hes going to be spectacular and perhaps a superstar of Kobe Bryant proportions in a few years but I dont think hes going to take the Cavs to the playoffs next year like they have been talking about. I think thats way way too overzealous. That team is pretty bad and one fantastic rookie wont turn them around in a year. But watch out in 2007.... Now you wanna see some impact players next year besdies James then keep your eye on Milicic in Detroit which was a playoff team even before they got the second pick in the draft. And of course Anthony in Denver. Hes a natural. Sweetney is gonna make an immediate impact in NY and Gaines should see real playing time in Orlando. Speaking of impact how bout the Lakers!!! They just signed BOTH Karl Malone AND Gary Payton! Holy crap!! Thats four all stars on their starting 5! Who is going to stop them now with Bryant and Shaq and now future hall of famers Malone and Payton. They could have Mr. Bean be the fifth man and they would still win the title.

The only challenge Phil Jackson will have in the NBA next year is getting these four future Hall of Famers to work together. If they can't play as a team, it doesn't matter how good they are individually.
