Bosox Blast Bombers

That's right, I'll give them their props. The Red Sox smacked the Yankees Saturday and Sunday in front of national t.v. The lead is 7 1/2. Good luck should be a great race.

Have you see Da Ali G show on HBO? You need to check it out. It may be the funniest show i have ever seen.

Not much happening Hoops wise except for the LaSalle men's and women's coach both stepping down. Has that ever happened in one shot? Disturbing charges at the school, look them up on Google and read all about it.

My man Mateen Cleaves had a decent summer league tour with the Sonics, let's keep our finges crossed they keep him.

Peace

Good Saturday

Well, well, well...How about them Yankees? Despite Kevin Millar hitting three homers last night, the Yankees pulled out the win, 8-7 on back-to-back doubles by A-Rod and Shef.

The lead goes to 91/2. Big game on Fox today. Then tomorrow night it's ESPN, Sunday Night baseball.

Oops, this is supposed to be about basketball, right?

Ok well my baseball juices get flowing in July, Aug, Sept, and Oct!

Lots of talk about Shaq in Miami, I say, they're right.

Watch out for the Heat.

College basketball coaches are on the road, recruiting of course. In Vegas, they have a big time, actually make that a couple of big time tournaments going on.

Hope every one is enjoying the summer.

Peace

Shaq in Miami

Done deal. Going to be interesting watching the Miami Heat.
They got the missing piece. Wade and Shaq will wreck-shop.
Butler, Odom, and Grant to LA.



Wilt and Kareem both were traded in their career.



Derek Fisher to the Warriors.



Kenyon Martin to the Nuggets.



Al Harrington to the Hawks in exchange for Stephen Jackson.



Some interesting moves.



Oh yeah, Kobe re-signed with LA.



That's all folks...

It's Been a Long Time

Sorry about the delay, been out of town for a while working at the Junior College All-American Basketball challenege.

I'm back and will jot down a few thoughts about what has been going on as of late.

Shaq, Kobe, Rudy T, college coaches switching jobs, etc.

Have a great day!

Coach K staying

Mr. K is staying in Durham. They now say the Lakers will be going after Rudy T.

Duke fans are elated...

Friday, July 2

Coach K

I'm not going to say what he should do but...

At Duke, he has done everything there is to do; win and graduate players. He makes a ton of money, he has the support of everyone there in Durham. Recruiting is changing, he just lost his two best players to the NBA. (He still has a strong team coming back)

In LA, new challenge, tons and tons of money, Kobe behind him, has been told he can be a success there and he is 57 years old. I think he would get along with the players, he'll earn their respect.

I think whatever he decides to do will be a great move.

Hey Coach K, go to LA, try and turn the Lakers around. The bottom line, it's coaching, anyway you look at it.

Good luck coach...

Sebastian Telfair

Too much talk about how this kid is going to be a flop.

WRONG!

Anyone who knows basketball knows this kid is going to be an impact player. He is the ultimate team player.

I think people get a bit jealous when young basketball players make a ton of money (adidas contract)

Good luck Bassy!
