Top #10

After watching the Jordan teaching video I pose these two questions. Right now today, would Michael Jordan be one of the top ten players in the NBA?

Secondly, as a GM in this years NBA draft would you have used your pick to select Michael Jordan if he announced he was playing for one more year?

Michael Jordan takes you to school.

Learn something from the greatest of all time people...

Arturo Gatti

In a previous post about Steve McNair it was mentioned that 'athletic stars' ought to stay at home with their wife and kids to avoid the dire consequences that happen to men who cheat.

Scratch that. Gatti was with his wife and his kid on his second honeymoon and it looks like his wife strangled him with her purse.

New advice: If you're an athlete stay at the gym whether it be basketball or boxing. Stay at the gym and keep working on your game. Stay away from the women whether they're your wife or someone else's wife or just a girlfriend.

A famous high school coach said it best, "No broads!"

Rasheed Wallace

Was talking to a basketball coach about the good and bad of the Rasheed Wallace to Celtics move and asked what the person thought of the acquisition. This coach's response, "I'm a big Doc Rivers fan".

Took that to mean that this will only work if Doc is able to keep Rasheed engaged in what is going on.

I also think consummate pros like Garnett, Allen and Pierce play a part in keeping him into buying in to what's going on.

Steve McNair

Another athlete dies and as usual what is part of the equation? A girl (not his wife) and gun. Why can't all the programs in place at the NFL, NBA and MLB level address these problems?

McNair by all accounts was considered a great guy, not a knucklehead by any means. But in the end, he's with his girlfriend with DUI charges, late night rendevous, and gun play. Meanwhile his wife and four kids were at home, where they were supposed to be, where he was supposed to be and they remain safe and he puts himself in harm's way.

A tragedy that sadly could have been avoided.

Artest to L.A.

Artest looks like he's going to LA to be the Western Triangle's version of Dennis Rodman. When the Bulls had Rodman in their main rebounding position he was a force to be reckoned with. Artest naturally fits that role.

However, the loss of Arize's athleticism is going to be costly. The Lakers aren't that athletic - Fisher and Odom are solid but not explosive, Kobe naturally has to conserve energy as the game goes on and Gasol is nimble but not athletic. Arize gave the team some burst. Even the Laker bench of Walton, Farmer, etc is more a solid role player bench.

Artest is not the beast he used to be. He wears down now, evidenced by his fading in the LA/Houston series. I'm not even sure he didn't get ejected to get a breather.

Alexis Arguello

Alexis Arguello, the boxer, was found dead. For those who don't remember he's probably most famous for having an epic fight with Aaron Pryor, a fight with the infamous water bottle with some 'stuff' in it.

Some might probably remember him more for fighting Boom Boom Mancini and he beat the stuffing out of Ray. That was about the time that Ray Mancini became a fraud and started taking 'announcer classes'

Mike and Mike/ Uconn

On Mike and Mike today they were discussing the Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva acquisitions and both were saying (i'm paraphrasing) 'you got to give it up for Uconn because no other school has as many players in the NBA (Allen, Gordon, Okafor, Boone, etc, etc) and that's what it's all about the size of your paycheck equating to your value'

then they said -the only other school that comes close is high school (lots of laughter and guffaws), the LeBrons, Kobes and Garnett's.

I thought it was kinda funny too because I was thinking the high schoolers might have more 'college credits' than the Uconners.
