LeBron James Owns It 1

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Marc

What a week for NBA off season fun.

LeBron James decided to make a show (literally) out of his free agency decision.  If you’ve been away the best player in the NBA decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and go to the Miami Heat.

James went from one of the most loved NBA players to one of the most hated.  Fans were, understandably, upset with the show and the decision.

LeBron had every right to go to Miami.  I don’t think fans were upset about the decision as much as they were with the presentation of the message than the message, itself.  He publicly shunned both fans and team staffs alike.  I can see this akin to breaking up with someone on TV.

In time most people will move on from this moment.

Not being a fan of any of the teams involved I’m already moving on and I can’t wait to see LeBron, Wade and Bosh play next year.  I think they will be fun to watch and I can’t wait to see the trio in action.

While on the subject of the Miami Heat it’s no surprise that the team will have new uniforms to celebrate the occasion.  They aren’t very different, but they’re different enough to where if you want a Wade jersey, you’ll choose to buy a new one.  Here’s an example:

Also, when did Chris Bosh become a superstar?  He’s a borderline all-star with good friends.  Go Bosh?

While I’m at it, I might as well post a link to get a D. Wade jersey.

NBA Draft Prop Bets 1

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Marc

I was checking the 2010 NBA Draft Prop bets last night and found some interesting opportunities and figured I’d share them.  I love the NBA draft because it’s right after the end of the season and followed closely by free agency.  This is the time where the losing teams get ready to turn things around for next year.  I find building the team as much fun as playing the season.

Week In Review 1

Posted on June 06, 2010 by Marc

A short week that was short in news. From the twitter feedback it seems as if the “Jersey Shore” failed tryouts and fighting resort fees were the highlight.

Less than 100 people show up for Atlantic City casting call for Jersey Shore

Allen Iverson Has Some Problems 1

Posted on March 08, 2010 by Marc

I came home to the end of a report about Allen Iverson having some personal problems.  As it turns out he’s been kicked out of casinos in Atlantic City and Detroit and has gambling and drinking problems to go with an upcoming divorce.  I just checked ESPN.com to get the details.  Here’s the report.

I like Allen Iverson as a player.  He was gritty.  I love the small scrappy types.  Hopefully he can get his life together.  Good luck AI.
