Lebron gone fishin'



Sorry Lebron, not this time. No Larry for you, still. This time nobody feels sorry for you after the childlike move you pulled after being defeated by the Magic. As if the Cavs weren't unlikable already, you can't man up and shake some hands after being beaten?
Sure, gloat and celebrate when your team has the lead after 3 quarters of play, then retreat to the locker room with your tail between your legs after a nice lambasting. Sickening.

NBA whiners

Dime magazine has a new article on the NBA's biggest whiners. Somehow Lebron didn't make the list. The list includes, in no particular order; Kobe Bryant, Josh Smith, Kendrick Perkins, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, Stephen Jackson, Baron Davis, Rasheed Wallace, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobili. I just don't understand how James get's overlooked here, he's the biggest whiner in the league.

Boozer to the Pistons?

Looks like Dumars is eyeing Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz. With Rasheed and McDyess coming off the books and Boozer opting out of the final year of his contract, it could be the perfect fit. Hoopshype.com also reports Detroit is interested in Ben Gordon of the Chicago Bulls.

Giambi's Secret



Jason Giambi of the Yankee's has revealed that he is in possession of a sacred golden thong that he and his team mates have worn in games to break out of slump. "It works every time," Giambi told the Daily News. Derek Jeter has sported Giambi's golden banana hammock and Johnny Damon says he's rocked it about three times.

Lance Berkman for MVP?


If the season ended today, Lance Berkman would be the unanimous choice for the award. Berkman's .399 batting average is ranked #2 in the MLB. Lance currently holds the #1 spot in the league for homers, doubles, slugging percentage, and runs scored. He's even swiped a few bags for good measure.

Galarraga Saves The Day (again)

Against the team who currently owns the best record in the MLB, Armando Galarraga allowed only 1 hit in 6 innings pitched. In the top of the 5th Galarraga came up to bat and drew a base on balls, later scoring from 3rd on a Guillen single. Impressive... His underachieving team mates could learn something, play hard and good things will happen.
The Tiger's closest thing to an pitcher this season has the makings of a winner, Tigers fans can only hope it will eventually rub off on the rest of the pitching staff.

Chris Paul Got Snubbed




Don't get me wrong, Kobe deserved it too. It really could have went either way, but I think when choosing a MVP, the most important thing to consider is which player meant more to their team.
Last year, The Hornets finished 38-44, 10th place in the Western Conference. This year, Chris Paul coming off his ROTY season, singlehandedly (often literally) led his team to an astonishing 56-26 record and the Hornets first ever division title.
There hasn't been a more exciting player to watch since Jordan.

The Spurs Get Down and Dirty



In tonight's game 6 between San Antonio and New Orleans, in the 4th quarter Robert Horry headbutted David West in the spine. It was well known that West was playing with a back injury. We saw him throw Nash into the scorer's table and now this... San Antonio's Bruce Bowen is known by many as the dirtiest current player in the NBA, intentionally injuring many a player in his career.
The NBA (Stern) needs to address this, you can only turn a blind eye for so long, the world champion Spurs are cheaters. Causing an intentional injury should have drastic penalties and if you're a repeat offender such as Bowen and Big Shot Bob, I say ban them from the league. These actions should not be tolerated.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the NBA is dirty, because players get fined for saying things when Bowen and Cheat Shot Bob are allowed to seriously injure players with no penalty.
Oh, and I rest my case.
WTF!!!
