Keys to Global Success for Lebron James →
nbaoffseason:
Wojo lays out why James should sign in NJ: two self-made moguls (Prokhorov and Jigga) would hand him the blueprint to global
success.
This is how they achieved global success, so take notes Lebron, so you don’t have to play in Newark.
via Prokhoov: Wait until it’s the wild west of a crumbled socialist nation. Sweep in to collect the falling debris as capitalism...

NBA 2010 Free Agency Thoughts.
Fuck Yea NBA does not agree with these sentiments, but we are an equal opportunity blog, and as such, provide space (i.e. reblog) for well thought out posts concerning the NBA. This is one such post.
zbarnhart:
As most sports fans know, there are some HUGE scenarios set to happen in the NBA within the coming days. There are so many marquee names that are up for free agency. And there are even...

NBA Free Agency Odds
The Daily News has these lines for the NBA free agents everyone is talking about. Can’t believe Cleveland is the favorite for Lebon. Knicks and Amar[‘]e makes sense since we’re not gonna get ‘Bron and hold on a second I gotta go cry.
OK I’m back. Bosh to Chicago at 4-1 sounds like weird odds, after hearing about this in the AM.
Boozer and Johnson make sense, but...

NBA Free Agency: Who's going where? - ESPN →
I’m utterly shocked my favorite NBA blog is espousing this silly Lebron in Jordan’s shadow BS. I don’t really think Lebron collapsed under pressure in game 5. More likely, he was already looking forward to midnight tonight. That’s not exactly what you want in a superstar, but his supporting cast was so bad, you can’t really blame him. Do you remember who supported...

Free Agency is Dominating the NBA Tag
That’s why Dirk Dwerp’s handstand makes the cut.
btwhalloweens:
that being said: I’m cool, calm and collected so have a random Dirk doing a handstand.
we’re all awaiting your move, D.
which is probably staying glued to Cuban’s shoe and that’s a good thing, really.

WatchBosh, Wade, and Lebron Free Agency summit as described by Chris Broussard. Miami has a chance to land all three as long as they get rid of Beasley with nothing in return. I can’t believe they will sacrifice their egos for this.
Money isn’t the issue, it’s Lebron’s place in the historical canon of NBA players. If he had to win a title with Wade, it would take a lot of...

Thoughts on the Draft
Didn’t get a chance to write about the draft because I was drinking and spending a little time with the Sports Grid crew. Great job guys.
So, I’m just reblogging realkingfish, who isn’t really a fish.

Pistons' Villanueva charged with assault (AP) →
He was busted in Burlington, Ontario. I’ve been there, this isn’t surprising, if he assaulted a man.
If he assaulted a woman, then we should prolly consider him guilty until proven innocent.

WatchESPN Profile on Worldwide Wes. Crazy that he was tight with Dennis Rodman.
Rodman in the profile:
“He used to catch more ass than anybody…back in the day when I was first playing in Chicago.”
Gotta love Rodman.

Great Piece today from TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott about William Wesley. Worth the read, so you can make your own “Worldwide Wes” jokes as he’s steering Lebron to ____________. And yes, the picture above is the first one that shows up in google image search. It’s him at the Malice in the Palace holding back(?) Ron Ron.

Maggette Traded to Bucks, "Fear the Deer!"
According to CBS Sports, Corey Maggette is headed towards Latrell Sprewell’s favorite relaxation spot in a move that sends the Warriors Dan Gadzuric and Charlie Bell. In return the Bucks, get Magette’s penchant for offense, a wife that looks way too put together to be married to Corey Maggette, and his 3 yr/$31 million contract.
Here’s hoping that Maggette works out for them if...

If McGrady is healthy and they sign him, I’m throwing a lot money down on the Lakers getting eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and then Kobe strangles T-Mac.

Do people not forget that even with the victory in game 7 against the Lakers, they’re still 1-7 against the Celtics in game 7’s. Maybe someone should interview Bill Russell about this abomination.

Some Thoughts On Game 7
So the NBA finished up two nights ago, and as I sat amongst a crowd of people I only half-knew and thought about the game, I figured that I would wake up the next day with a hang-over and life would go on. That’s exactly what happened; although, the hangover wasn’t nearly that bad, as I had sweated out a lot of the beer and bourbon during the game.
Kobe Bryant was the NBA Finals...
