R.I.P To George Steinbrenner

  It's definitely a sad day in the sports world as we lose another icon. Steinbrenner had a heart attack, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Fla., and died at about 6:30 a.m. ET, according to multiple reports. George built the Yankees from ground up. In fact, in 37-plus seasons as owner, Steinbrenner led the Yankees to seven World Series championships, 11 American League pennants and 16 AL East titles. He changed the game of the franchise by starting his own television network and ballpark food company. Forbes now values the Yankees at $1.6 billion, trailing only Manchester United ($1.8 billion) and the Dallas Cowboys ($1.65 billion).The Steinbrenner family said that funeral arrangements will be private; however, details about an additional public service will be announced at a later date. He is gone but he will not be forgotten at all. R.I.P to a legend

Amare Reaches New Deal In A New Place

 While all the speculation is involved in LeBron, Dwayne & Chris Bosh the show must go on and it has with New York reaching an agreement Monday with free agent Amare Stoudemire. The All-Star forward will receive a five-year, $99.7 million contract that will reunite him with coach Mike D'Antoni. Amare is excited about his new deal and already stated that he is going to attempt to recruit LeBron over to New York. The Knicks believe they are still in the hunt for James,but Sunday night's news that James planned to delay making a decision until Wednesday or Thursday helped force their hand in regards to Stoudemire. With this deal taking place it effectively removed the Knicks from the pursuit of Chris Bosh, and it significantly reduced the chances of David Lee returning to New York. However, the Knicks could still use Lee in a sign-and-trade deal if they miss out on James and Wade, but Lee could choose to take a five-year offer from another team between now and Thursday. Stoudemire had spent his entire career in Phoenix, where he played under D'Antoni before the coach came to New York in 2008. Stoudemire averaged more than 20 points in every season they were together and immediately becomes the best player D'Antoni has coached since leaving the Suns after the 2007-08 season. At this point they have their fingers crossed to see if they can also have LeBron join their organization.

Let The Talk Begin!!!!!!!

 Ladies and gentlemen let the talk begin. Nets billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov, rap mogul Jay-Z, coach Avery Johnson and other team officials spent more than 90 minutes making a presentation on Thursday to James, the two-time MVP and budding global icon who became the most celebrated free agent in history at 12:01 a.m. The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers are expected to meet with James on Friday, with the Chicago Bulls and Cavaliers scheduled to visit with him Saturday. Cleveland's hoping that James' loyalty to home will keep him in Ohio. The team gave him something to consider as free agency opened by offering Byron Scott their coaching job. Scott's agent, Brian McInerney, told the AP that Scott has accepted the position. It's definitely exciting to see teams offer their presentations and history on free agents that they are trying to lure in. In one week history will be made and we shall see what happens

New Rumors Surrounding LeBron/Wade & Bosh

 It has recently been reported that LeBron, Dwayne and Chris Bosh have engaged in conversation discussing how all three could fit under the Miami NBA club’s salary cap. How could all three play together you ask?  According to a source I read in Sun-Sentinel they all have agreed to split it up by unloading the $4.96 million 2010-11 salary on the contract of forward Michael Beasley, as well as potentially minimizing the cap hit of the buyout of forward James Jones, the Heat would be on the cusp of being able to extend maximum offers to Wade, James and Bosh. I also read that they are able to pull off a trade for Bosh by being accommodated in such a scenario by the Heat either sending Beasley to the Raptors or including him in a multiple-team trade that involves Toronto. The Heat also could send draft picks to Toronto, including the Raptors’ future first-round pick the Heat currently holds, as a means of Bosh receiving his maximum contract length. At the same time it has been reported that Bosh/LeBron may join the Bulls as well the Chicago Bulls continuing to rank as a highly appealing destination and a return to Cleveland still figuring prominently in his thinking and with the Dallas Mavericks looming as an intriguing outsider. In that scenario, sources said, James and Bosh would join Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah in Chicago, while Wade would hope to be joined in Miami by close friend Carlos Boozer, who was not at the meeting. July 8,2010 is 8 days away and we shall see what happens

Repeat For The Lakers

  The Lakers hold on to their title after defeating the Boston Celtics in game 7 (83-79).Kobe Bryant received the Finals MVP for averaging more than 28 points per game and leading the Lakers to their repeat. I must say it was not an easy task for the Lakers. Los Angeles Lakers had to rally from deficit after Boston led for almost 3.5 quarters. At halfway to fourth quarter, Lakers begun the rally led by Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. Ron Artest also supported the Lakers by scoring 20 points and a crucial three-pointers when Boston cut their lead to three. Boston played without their starting center, Kendrick Perkins, who suffered sprained knee in game 6. Kobe stated that this championship is the sweetest thus far and now their is a debate whether Kobe is the best Laker ever. Phil Jackson also won his 11th rings, six with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and five with the Los Angeles Lakers. It could be his last rings as he is not sure if he will return next season. Also in the arena is Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Magic Johnson handed the Larry O’Brien trophy to the champions. The Lakers are looking to do it again next year......We shall see.

Perkins Out For Game 7

Just imagint the  most important game in the NBA and what you fight for during the whole season and you are unable to play. Well Kendrick Perkins told reporters at Wednesday's media session that he tore two ligaments in his right knee in Tuesday's NBA Finals Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and will be sidelined for Thursday's decisive Game 7. He will undergo an MRI on Friday to further assess the damage. This happen in game 6 when he landed awkwardly trying to haul in an offensive rebound midway through the first quarter and suffered what was originally diagnosed as a knee sprain. I must say that he may still play in my opinion because it's not like this opportunity will present itself again. Andrew Bynum is playing and he is not 100 percent, but he has the mind set that he may not duplicate this process next year. Game 7 is set for tomorrow and it's do or die for both teams and this is what you play for and what you train for so we shall see if Perkins is able to play partially tomorrow.

Big Ben Apologizes!!!!

 Ever since Ben has been accused by a student who stated student he sexually assaualted her in a nightclub bathroom on March 5, Roethlisberger told Pittsburgh TV stations KDKA and WTAE that he expects to be booed this season .He has apologized extensively for his actions and promised to become the role model he should have been throughout his career. For the first time, Roethlisberger said that living a role rather than living a life may have affected him on the field, too. The Steelers went 9-7 and missed the playoffs last season, one season after winning the Super Bowl. He stated that that he got caught up being Big Ben the whole time and he lost track of who Ben Roethlisberger was. The question is how he would be perceived when the NFL season kicks off and the question remains should the fans forgive and forget or give him a hard time every time he steps on the field.
