No specific column today just some overall thoughts on sports.
Kobe is not tired he just had a bad game- Listen, even MJ had games where he could not pull it out. Kobe owned up and said that he was off, so lets stop with this Kobe is exhausted story. Kobe does not want or need excuses for Game 3.
Most underrated story from Game 3- The Magic set an NBA record for field goal percentage. Kobe had an awful 4th quarter. Still the Lakers had a chance to win that game, if I am an Orlando Magic fan I am very worried about winning another game in this series.
Kareem says Dwight Howard's game is predictable- File this in the "Someone famous makes an incredibly obvious conclusion and people are intrigued". Listen everyone who has watched the Magic play can see that Dwight Howard is still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be an all time great post player. Even Dwight has admitted this so frankly I would have rather Kareem give us some real insight rather than just stating the obvious.
Alonzo Morning says Phil Jackson is not doing anything but calling timeouts- This is such a ridiculous statement it really should not even be a story. Zo, I appreciate you giving us some insight but seriously if you are going to bash a coach I would recommend not a coach with 9 rings.
Real Madrid pay $131 million to get Ronaldo from Manchester United- This is probably the biggest story in the world of sports. For Americans who hate soccer, Ill paraphrase in terms you will understand. This is like the Bulls selling Jordan to the Pistons, in the early 90's. The world's best player just defected from one of the greatest clubs in Europe to maybe the only club that rivals Man U's legacy. The ripple effects of this move will be felt in European soccer for the next decade.
Mike Brown could be on the hot seat- Despite Mike Brown pulling a choke job in the in the Eastern Conference Finals, he is still the coach of the year. He has improved by leaps and bounds every year so lets give him one more year to learn from his mistakes. If the Cavs do not win the title next year than he will really be on the hot seat. Although the one person in Cleveland who should be on the hot seat is Danny Ferry. He is about to embark on the most important post season in Cleveland since the beginning of Major League 2, and if he does not bring in the players who will elevate the Cavs to the next level, than I would not be surprised to see him gone before the season begins.
My pick for tonight. Lakers win a close one in Orlando to ice this series and crush the good feelings in Orlando
