Let’s begin…
So it’s the weekend, and it’s time to release my list of the top college basketball teams.
So here is my list.
My Top Teams
1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. West Virginia
4. Syracuse
5. Ohio State
6. Kansas State
7. Vanderbilt
8. Villanova
9. Duke
10. Pittsburgh
11. Butler
12. Tennessee
13. Gonzaga
14. New Mexico
15. BYU
Top 15
1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Ohio State
4. West Virginia
5. Syracuse
6. Vanderbilt
7. Purdue
8. Pittsburgh
9. Kansas State
10. Vanderbilt
11. Tennessee
12. New Mexico
13. BYU
14. Gonzaga
15. Butler
So the most notable thing about this week’s list is that Georgetown has fell out of both list. I think they are good and can beat anyone. The problem is they get beat by anyone, so I have to drop them out.
Despite Duke losing I still have them in the middle of the pack. Though they’re not elite this year. They bring their A game every night, and that’s something I can get behind.
I love the way the Tennessee Vols’ play
Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment.

NCAA Tournament Expansion? I think not
Let’s begin…
Oh there’s been so much on my mind as far as sports go, but I guess I’ll have to settle for this: NCAA Tournament Expansion. They want to expand the NCAA Tournament. Now there are 3 types of people that want to expand the tournament.
1. Coaches: So they can try to keep their jobs.
2. The NCAA: They want to make more money
3. The fans that have teams that aren’t that good.
The one thing that all of these people have in common, is that none of them want to help the tournament become better. I think if you change something that is already great. You should only change it to make it even better. The tournament is great like it is. There are 65 teams that get an opportunity to participate, and about 5 of them in any given year have a chance to win a title.
The only reason the tournament will be expanded (and it will be) is for the money. The NCAA is consumed with making as much money as they can while making sure they limit the people that are making the money, from making money (Players Won’t Get Paid).
• That’s why players don’t get paid
• That’s why they’ll expand
• This is why College Football will keep the BCS.

NBA Trade Deadline 2010
Let’s begin…
So, the trade deadline is looming. All trades must be done by Thursday at 3 pm ET. Time for a disclaimer I’m a Cleveland sports fan (So, if you’re expecting me to breakdown how the Knicks can get LeBron, you’re in the wrong place), not by choice, I was born there (If I could choose I would pick New Zealand, just so I could go there without a passport). So I’m a miserable sports fan. To watch Jordan over Craig Elio, Hosea Mesa blow the World Series, Shawn Kemp at 350 in a Cavs uniform, Elway on “The Drive” (I would keep going, but out of nowhere a knife appeared at my wrist and I have to talk my brain into letting it go).
So, I love the fact that the Cavs have had a good team for the last 5 years. We haven’t gotten over the hump, but the year (like last year) feels like our year. The Cavs are said to be in the running to land Amare Stoudemire or Antawn Jamison, which makes me happy.
My problem is they’ve been talking about these trades for like 3 weeks. Does it really take that long? GET IT DONE. Even if the Cavs don’t get them, somebody please get them (So I can get on with fantasying my championship team with the pieces they will actually have.
I know how we can solve the problem. Pat Riley and Danny Ferry should play to 11; make it take it, for Stoudemire. The loser has to play sudden death against Gilbert Arenas, for the Services of Antawn Jamison.
If I ran the league everyone would win.

NBAs Greatest Players. The Fourth Edition
Let’s begin…
So, some time ago I made a huge error in judgment. I wrote a blog some time ago about the greatest NBA players ever. There were some errors, but probably the most deplorable error was the way I evaluated James Worthy. I had Worthy entirely too high on my list. He’s a good player but he probably isn’t in the top 35 ever. He may not even be in the top 40. So I apologize formally for my error in judgment.
So, here’s my new list.
Get ready
I just did the top 14 because after that it started getting questionable, and I don’t want Kevin McHale fans sending me hate mail (Oh yeah, he didn’t make the list. That ends the suspense)
1. Bill Russell
He was the ultimate winner in the NBA. He won as a player and as a coach in the NBA. He has 11 championships, and played on the greatest Celtics’ team of all time. He was just the greatest trust me.
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
6 MVPs and 6 Championships, enough said
6-3.
Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant Shaquille O’Neil Magic Johnson
This list is in no particular order. I really couldn’t decide where these guys fit in the next 4 slots. So, I decided to slot them all together (it’s my list I can do whatever I want to do). Michael Jordan was scene as the greatest player ever until he retired, and stayed retired. Then people started thinking, “I don’t remember him beating anyone dominate during his second championship run” (anytime you say, “Second championship run” and there’s an argument. I probably have the problem here). Kobe Bryant is ridiculously good, but when you think about how he changed so much on the court, and how he really was only the best player in the for about 3 seasons. It makes me wonder. Shaquille O’Neil is one of a kind. He has been to the championship with 3 different teams in 2 different eras of the NBA. That’s crazy to think about, but then you think…if he was so great? Why was he traded in his prime? As a teammate how could you not just be the bigger man and figure it out…and oh yeah, why couldn’t he shoot free throws? Now we get to Magic Johnson. He was one of the ultimate teammates. He made everyone around him better, and everyone loved playing with him. He was a winner and did anything to win. He even went as far as playing center in the NBA Finals after the Lakers had an injury.
I think as Kobe and Shaq’s career wind down, I will have a better grip on where they are historically.
I think it will end up being
Shaq, Jordan, Magic, and Kobe in no particular order.
7. Tim Duncan
This is one of the greatest players ever that gets no respect. He’s been a 2 time MVP, 3 time Playoff MVP, and a 4 time NBA champion. However no one talks about him, so let me continue that trend by stopping here.
8. Larry Bird.
He was the greatest pure shooter and the greatest clutch shooter of all time. He dealt with crunch time pressure and delivered every time. My favorite moment of his career was the three point contest where he raised the number one finger before the last shot even went in. It’s one of the greatest NBA photos ever. Now excuse me. I need to change my computers background.
9. Wilt Chamberlain
So, I guess Wilt is famous for having sex with a lot of women, and scoring 100 points. What people don’t talk about is that he was a classic underachiever, and a “Me First Guy”. He has to be this high strictly on the numbers (which are ridiculous).
10. Oscar Robertson
It was really close between him and West. I almost had to just flip a coin. Both were great players, and Oscar was probably better, but he wasn’t nearly the teammate West was. I give the edge to Robertson because he was better skilled, but it could change tomorrow.
11. Jerry West
“Mr. Clutch” is what many in the NBA circle call him. He’s the NBA logo, and ambassador for the game. Beside begin one of the top three Lakers of all time. He built what I believe to be eight championship Lakers teams (check my numbers for accuracy).
12. John Havlicek
Great player. Part of the backbone of the greatest Boston Celtics’ teams ever.
13. Moses Malone
The NBA’s greatest rebounder ever and it’s not even close. Mr. Hard worker is what he was, and we haven’t scene anything like him since.
14. Hakeem Olajuwon.
He was a beast of a player. He Drag a team full of role players to two championships, while serving up (a young) Shaq, an over-hyped Patrick Ewing, and David Robinson. He was a real class act.

Superbowl 2010, It's My Take
So, now that it’s Wednesday. I think it’s time. Everyone has settled in and got their head straight. All the gamblers have made up their minds. So it’s only right that I ends the suspense and announce my Super Bowl pick.
I am picking the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl convincingly. I really don’t think it will be close. Now the score may be close but that game will not be. And I’m not picking them because of the sentimental story and I’m surely not picking them because of the “Who Dat Nation.” I pick New Orleans, because they’re the better team. The only disadvantage they have is at Quarterback, but that’s one position.
So I have the Saints winning by all my research.
With all that being said, I could be completely wrong, and that’s the best part about sports.

Seattle Seahawks
So the Seattle Seahawks have a new head coach. They hired Pete Carroll of USC. Now you can argue that he is a good or bad hire. I have my own opinion which you may share. I personally don't think it's going to work, and I don't think it will even be close. I view a success as 10 wins a year, and at least contending for the Division playoff title. He won't get that done.
With that being said the process of the hiring lacks integrity. First they fire their coach after what was really the best season they could have expected, given the talent. However, the thing I have a problem with is that circumvented the Rooney Rule, by just interviewing a black coach to abide by the rule, then continuing to do what they wanted to do by hiring Pete Carroll. That lacks integrity, and that's the problem with the NFL. You should be able to hire whoever you want to. And if you're going to make a rule MAKE THEM ABIDE BY IT.
Good Luck Seattle

The top 25 NBA players
So me and my father had a discussion the other day.
We were going back and forth about the NBA as usual.
He was trying to sell me on the fact that Walt Frazier could still average a triple double in the NBA today. He is out of his mind. Frazier wouldn't sniff a triple double in the NBA today. First off there are more teams in the NBA now, and much better players. That's not even worth arguing about. So, after we argued about that for an hour, I realized I don't have a list of the greatest NBA players ever.
So, here is my list of the 25 greatest NBA players.
1. Bill Russell, Michael Jordan
3. Kareem Abdul Jabbar
4. Tim Duncan
5. Shaquille O' Neil
6. Kobe Bryant
7. John Havlicek
8. Larry Bird
9. Magic Johnson
10. Hakeem Olajuwon
11. Bob Cousy
12. Sam Jones
13. James Worthy
14. Walt Frazier
15. Isiah Thomas
16. Moses Malone
17. Steve Nash
18. John Stockton
19. Karl Malone
20. Robert Parrish
21. Kevin McHale
22. Jerry West
23. Wes Unseld
24. Earl Monroe
25. Dwayne Wade
This is my top 25, as of right now.
Feel free to argue, or post your own.
Comment and call me crazy.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals
So, the gaem tonight will be interesting.
It will be interesting to see how the Magic react to the adversity. They haven't been down in a series to a team of this caliber.
Also, I want to see what the Lakers are going to do.
Preveously in the playoffs earlier rounds they had the tendonsy to let up, and let teams back into a series.
Now my predictions for to night is a Lakers win.
This game will officially end the Magic chances of winning the Finals, and will devistate them.
They will not bounce back, and it could be a sweep.
Watch Kobe and Gasol take over, and if the Magic are not hitting shots earlier. This thing could be over quick.
