NBA Free Agency Part 3

As we all know unless you've been living under a rock, LeBron James is joining Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami. LeBron announced his choice last night on ESPN, which didn't make a lot of people happy. Miami fans of course were so excited about the news while other places, not so much. Knicks fans were very disappointed while Cavs fans took it way overboard. Cavs owner wrote a real long letter to the fans of Cleveland and wrote how he felt; fans were so mad that they started burning LeBron's jersey also.

Me being a Heat fan, I'm very excited but also sad because to afford Bosh, Wade, and James, the Heat had to trade Michael Beasley :(... it hurt so much to hear the news. I just hope Beasley comes back when his contract is over.

Now the Heat have to agree on new deals for each player and sign the rest of the team. The only person on the current roster is only Mario Chalmers. Also if you are currently living in Miami, the Heat will be having a party at the AAArena for free for all fans.

In other news, David Lee was traded to the Golden State Warriors for 6 yr/80 mill.

I will definitely keep yall posted on the whole signing deals with Wade, Bosh, and James.

MIAMI IS STILL WADE COUNTY!!!

NBA Free Agency Part 2

From the last time I spoked about NBA free agency, so much has happened. I can say personally to my experience that this is the best off season in NBA History that I know of.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will be signing with the Miami tomorrow when all free agents are able to sign. Great news for me since of course I am a Heat fan and I wanted Wade to come back; now he's bringing a great player, Bosh with him to help him bring back the title in Miami. Bosh and Wade stated that this was the best possible decision that they could make for their career. Now they both have stated that they are willing to receive lesser money to bring a certain person down to Miami with them.

Today at 9 pm the most anticipated news in sports history will be announced; LeBron James will finally decide which team he will be going to. In the words of an analyst on ESPN (can't remember which) stated; "LeBron has asked 6 women to the alter and he will be telling 5 of them that they will have to marry another man." I honestly do believe that LeBron will be either going to the Knicks, Bulls, or Heat. With the Bulls, LeBron will be joining Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, and now Carlos Boozer who just agreed to sign with the Bulls also. Amar'e Stoudemire just signed a huge contract with the New York Knicks and of course the Knicks I believe are still in talks with David Lee. Of course the Miami Heat (my team), are about to sign not only Dwyane Wade but also Chris Bosh; with those three we all know it's gonna be a wrap and sorry Lakers but just hand us the title :). But we all must wait until tonight at 9 pm. Make sure y'all watch.

In other news, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have agreed to stay with the Celtics. Also Joe Johnson will agree to sign the max contract with the Atlanta Hawks. And finally like I said Dirk Nowitzki will be staying with the Dallas Mavericks. Jermaine O'Neal will be signing with the Celtics and will be leaving the great Miami Heat; good luck homie :).

Stepping out of free agency, Kevin Durant announced on twitter that he will be signing a 5 year extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I will still keep yall posted on the LeBron James news. Be sure to watch ESPN tonight at 9 pm to here for yourself where LeBron James will be playing next season; will it be Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, and the L.A. Clippers.

*Today is the official signing day for all free agents.

Chris Brown

I'm been having this issue since the BET Award was over....

As we all know and most likely saw, Chris Brown killed it when he performed his tribute to Michael Jackson on Sunday. And we all saw when he burst into tears during his performance.

Now my issue is a lot of shows that I've seen like E! and TMZ all are saying it was a publicity stunt. All I gotta say to that is FU!!!!

Yes we know Chris Brown f*** up and most of us are really over it, and that was something we all were anticipating. So people stop hating and let this boy live his life already. We all make mistakes and he made one too he's human get over it. Rihanna moved on not let him move on. Besides even if he becomes big again or whatever, it's not gonna stop Rihanna from selling (it's like she has been anyways).

Chris Breezy did a great performance and that's all that matters. Don't be haters, be supporters :)

NBA Free Agency

NBA Free Agency started today and now let the games begin!

This year's free agency list is one of the biggest in NBA history. Some players on the block are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, and Amar'e Stoudemire. Of course everything is revolving around what LeBron is going to do. During the past couple of weeks LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Johnson has all met together to discuss where they will be going.

LeBron said his decision will come sometimes around the week of July 5th and nothing longer (thank God). He will be talking to many teams in the next two days such as the Clippers, Bulls, Knicks, and of course the Cavaliers. I really do hope that he stays in Cleveland; everything he knows and loves technically lives in Cleveland. Also if the Cavaliers do sign Byron Scott as there head coach or any coach who was a former player, then LeBron really most likely stay since that's what he wants.

Dwyane Wade as we all know of course will stay in Miami, he's said it before and I'm confident he will. Thankfully the Heat has so much money now since we technically only have Beasley on contract right now, so they can afford another big name to play along Wade for next season. Pat Riley right now is talking to Boozer, Stoudemire, and Johnson to come down to Miami; I think he should also talk to Bosh. Bosh in Miami would be real big.

The Atlanta Hawk has offered Joe Johnson a contract that would be worth like $100 million. Most likely I see Johnson going back to Atlanta, which I don't see why. The Hawks still has Horford and Smith who killed it last season and are only getting better.

Now my issue with Stoudemire and Nowitzki is that I feel like they're doing this free agency thing just so they can get more money by the team that they're already in.

In other news, Paul Pierce has opted out of his contract because he wants a new and better contract with the Celtics. So the Celtics has to negotiate a contract with Pierce and Ray Allen who is also on the free agency list this season. Not to mention head coach Doc River most likely will be coming back for another season and miss his son play ball for his senior year. Did I mention his son his the high school basketball player in the state of Florida and his father has not seen him play not a single game.

This will be very interesting to see what happens and I pray that whatever Miami does, it does not involve losing Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, or Mario Chalmers in the process.

Yall know I will keep yall updated on twitter and on my blog :)

John Wooden

As we all know we lost one of the greatest coaches in basketball history on Friday...John Wooden passed away at the age of 99. For people that don't know who Coach Wooden is (you should be ashamed) he was the former head coach of UCLA and won 10 NCAA Championships in 12 years. He is also inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame twice as a player in 1961 and as a coach in 1973. He has coached some of the greatest players that have ever played in the NBA such as Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003 (which is the highest honor for civilians). In 2006 he was recognized as one of the impact on college basketball and became a member of the founding class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame along with Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Dean Smith, and Dr. James Naismith.

Rick Reilly of ESPN wrote; "He never made more than $35,000 a year salary (not including camps and speaking engagements), including 1975, the year he won his 10th national championship, and never asked for a raise."

Every February 29, UCLA celebrates John Wooden Day...I think that should be a national day personally (Obama make that happen).

So as we lost a great coach, we will never forget his legacy as one of the...well the greatest coach in college basketball history.

"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful." - John Wooden (1910-2010)

Final Four

Today the Final Four finally begins.. this is something I've been since like forever. This is my first year actually being into college ball and this season didn't disappoint. March Madness has been a real madness this year.

To sum it up really simple, everybody believed that Kansas was going to win it all, but they lost in the second round against Northern Iowa 97-99. After they lost most people, including me, thought that Kentucky would be next to win it all. Yet again no Kentucky loses in the Elite 8 against West Virginia 73-66. So now the teams that are left to compete in the Final Four are West Virginia, Duke, Baylor, and Michigan State.

Butler will be playing against Michigan State tonight at 6 and West Virginia will be playing against Duke tonight around 8:30.

Since my team to win Kentucky is out, I'm gonna go with who ever wins between West Virginia and Duke. For some reason I feel like I'm the only Duke fan that doesn't go to Duke or isn't and alumni. Between Butler and Michigan State, I really want Michigan State to win just cause I don't really like Baylor, they're really starting to annoy me personally. Also I would love for Michigan State to show them that just cause you're playing in your hometown doesn't mean that you're going to win.

So make sure yall check it out, tonight starting at 6 on CBS.

NBA MVP

NBA season is almost over and the talks for MVP are in the works.

My nominees for MVP this year are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard. A lot of people may not like my nominees, but these players have been really putting it in this season. LeBron James is the leading scorer and Cavs fans will agree with me, without LeBron the Cavs are really nothing. Kobe Bryant has been killing it with a broken finger and when you watch him, you would never know that his finger was broken; on top of that he's been playing since 1996, but he is still in his prime. Kevin Durant is the second leading scorer in the NBA and giving LeBron a run for his money; because of KD playing great basketball, the Thunder are in 5th place making it the first time in the Playoffs since like forever. Carmelo Anthony is 3rd for leading scorer and always plays to the fullest. Dwyane Wade whenever he plays, you know he puts his heart and soul out there. Last but not least Dwight Howard, he leads the league in most blocks and most steals and ever season he just gets more and more athletic.

They all are great but only one can win and my winner for MVP this season is of course LeBron Jame. LeBron has been really proving this year that he deserves the award, but I do believe that Kevin Durant is still giving him a run for his money. Every time I watch a Thunder game, I already know that KD will not disappoint. Almost every game KD scores 20+ this which is crazy and did I mention that the Oklahoma City Thunder are 5th place in the Western Conference.

After LeBron and KD it really doesn't matter who comes next but here is how I would rate them:

1. LeBron James

2. Kevin Durant

3. Kobe Bryant

4. Dwight Howard

5. Carmelo Anthony

6. Dwyane Wade

MVP is usually not announced until like the Conference Finals, so lets just sit and wait to see if my picks are correct or not.
