One of the first sports books I ever read was "The Jordan Rules" by Stan Smith. One of the main features of the book was a philosophy by Detroit Pistons head coach Chuck Daly (RIP) on the best way to defend Michael Jordan. The interesting thing was Daly knew you couldn't totally stop Jordan, but the plan was to force him to play 1 on 5 and to beat his brains in for the entire series. Fast forward to 2009 and you...

Dear Lebron, First let me say that I am a Witness. Your play last night was not human. You were 20-30 from the field and that simply doesn't happen in the NBA. You were even able to add eight assists, six boards, three blocks and two steals while only committing two turnovers. Those numbers are even more impressive considering your teammates were of little to no help to you last night and your coach decided to use... Read more

I have seen it so many times before. Young fighter groomed for greatest put in the ring with an "almost" elite fighter. Many see the fight as just a stepping stone for the young fighter against a good but not great opponent. This is the situation facing Olympic Gold Medalist Andre Ward. A lot of the great fighters of our time have passed these types of test with flying colors while others have failed miserable. Count... Read more

I'm a big fan of Dwight Howard. He's fun to watch, and he's definitely got a great personality that makes him entertaining both on and off the court (except for him trying to dance to Beyonce's Single Ladies , which was a little disturbing...maybe). But tonight's blow up after a crushing loss in Boston gave Howard a reason to truly speak his mind, about the Magic's game plan, his coach and his overall mood of this series... Read more

Can I be honest with you? The shot that Glen "Big Baby" hit was very nice. Anytime you hit a game winning shot in the playoffs you should be applauded. You do it on the road and it is even more impressive. You do it to save your team from going down 3-1 in the series is something you should pound your chest about and be very proud of. So Big Baby should have as many Twinkies and Ding Dongs as his heart... Read more

By definition: hun?ger (hung'g?r) a) A strong desire or craving; a need for food. b) The discomfort, weakness, or pain caused by a prolonged lack of food. We all know this definition. We know that when the lion, the king of the jungle is hungry, he goes and gets what is rightfully his...well what he believes is his. The lion goes and gets whatever he desires. And rarely do we see any one thing or object stop... Read more

If everyone is really honest with themselves they know the NBA Finals will be the Cavaliers vs. Lakers, but I am going to pick every round of the playoffs because I know that is what the people want. . 1st Round Record: N/A Overall Record: N/A Eastern Conference: # 1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #8 Detroit Pistons People are trying to talk themselves into believing the Pistons can hang with the Cavaliers for a couple of games...
