Why now Floyd Landis????? by Ronald Carthen

It took Floyd Landis, who had his 2006 Tour de France title taken for doping but denied cheatting, four years for finally admitting using performance-enhancing drugs. Now Landis wants to throw Lance Armstrong and others under the bus. He accuses Lance, American riders Levi Leipheimer and Dave Zabriskie, and Lance's coach Johan Bruyneel for doping as well. Why would you fight for something and you know you cheated all these years? It makes no sense to me at all.

Landis sent out e-mails to cycling officials and sponsors that he started doping in 2002, his first year racing with the U.S. Postal Service team led by Lance. He said he had use of blood-boosting drug EPO, testosterone, human growth hormone and blood transfusions, female hormones, and once he experiment with insulin.  

Lance responded to Landis accusations and he's been getting threats from Landis for years and finally told him to do what you have to do and we have nothing to hide. Man Lance I hope you are right on this one.

Who cares if  Landis gets caught with doping, even though he was dumb enough to fight for his innocence when he knew he was guilty, what about Lance's legacy on the line.

If Lance ever gets caught with any sort of PEDs, his career and this sport is in serious trouble. He has been the biggest hero in all of sports for years and the last thing he needs is being guilty for something this serious. The man won Tour de France seven straight times (1999-2005) after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. Coming back from cancer is a very hard thing to do and it would be sad if everything he accomplished in his cycling career could be tainted, except for his battle with cancer.

So why does Floyd want to come out now and say something? It's obvious he wants revenge with Lance and some other cyclists. This is such a bad way to do it and you are tarnishing American athletes in this competitive international sport. Lance has been accused of doping for many years, but I hope this is not a step closer of finding out the ugly truth.

If you think every baseball player caught with steroids is bad, I can't imagine what will happen if Lance is caught. This could hurt all American athletes in all of sports as we know it.

The MAGIC are not MENTALLY TOUGH to win a TITLE!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

I'm so disappointed in the Orlando Magic in their first two home games of this series with the Boston Celtics. I pick them to win the series in seven and now they are on the verge of losing this series and possibly getting swept in Boston. What a way to blow your chances to head back to the finals.

The Magic were down by 11 early in the fourth quarter and just like the last game, they found their spark and made a charge at the Celtics. They went on a 13-4 run to cut Boston's lead to 85-83 with six minutes left in the game. Then I watch the crowd go crazy when Vince Carter hit a jumper to give the Magic a 90-89 with 3:35 left, but that celebration was way too brief when Kevin Garnett made an easy basket to give the Celtics the lead.

How about what happened to Vince Carter after Paul Pierce fouls him and was fouled out of the game with the Magic down 95-92 with 31.9 seconds left. Vince had a chance to play hero and cut the lead to one, but then this happens.



How can you be an 11-year veteran and miss two of the biggest free throws of the season. Come on Vince you are better then that.

Then when Kevin Garnett misses a 20-foot jumper and JJ Reddick gets the rebound with six seconds left to play, he decides to run down the court for three seconds before calling a timeout and and forced the Magic to take the ball beyond halfcourt. Just as you can expect, Jameer Nelson had to shoot a 36-foot three-point jumper that fell short and the Celtics went up 2-0 in the series. That was the first time that the Celtics won the first two road games back-to-back in a playoff series in franchise history.

I feel bad for Dwight Howard after such a great game with 30 points, eight rebounds, and even went 12-of-17 from the free throw line. It's too bad Rashard Lewis, only averaging 5.5 points in this series, and Jameer, who finished with only nine points, were no where to be found in this game.

The Celtics are about to take this series for sure. If they win Game 3, then it's going to be a sweep. If the Magic wins one game in Boston, it will go to six. I just don't see the Magic winning four straight or four out of five games in this series. I have to stick with my Magic pick but I believe it's too little too late.

Kobe Bryant drops 40 again what else can you say!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Enough with the LeBron James rumors, Kobe Bryant continues to prove he's the best player in the league. Did you see how he dominated the Phoenix Suns? He made 21 of his 40 points in the third quarter look way to easy.

Towards the end of the first quarter, I was very nervous when Kobe stumbled to the floor and was in pain. All of the reports on his right knee drained out and didn't practice caused a very huge concern, but then he walked off the court like it never happen. That's what makes him one of the best ever. No matter what he'll continue to fight until he gets a win.

Before I continue talking about Kobe's dominance, look what he did to Grant Hill before the end of the half... 



Poor 37-year old Grant Hill, Kobe should just say I'm sorry for humiliating you in front of the entire country. Nobody will be able to defend Kobe in this series.

In the third quarter, Kobe went off and made the Suns look like they don't belong in the Western Conference finals. I watched him double-teamed by Jason Richardson and Hill and he hits one of his great fadeaway jumpers. I saw him split Robin Lopez and Hill as he Richardson was to scared to defend him as he easily layed it in. When Ron Artest passed it to him, I saw him make a heck of a three-point basket on Steve Nash. When Jared Dudley thought he can defend him he made him pay when Pau Gasol threw a nice behind the back bounce pass to him and layed it in and the foul. When Lamar Odom stoled the ball from Nash, he made a nice bounce pass to him and he took care of the rest with a two-handed jam. He scored 21 points while the Suns drop 24 in the third. He almost outscored the team by himself.

With the Lakers up 96-83, Kobe dropped another three to give him his 11th 40-point playoff game. What else does this man have to prove. He's already won four NBA titles and he still wants to win championships no matter how many broken bones he has in his body.

Like I said, the Lakers will win this series in five. As long as Pau and Lamar Odom continue thier dominance in the paint, This series is going to be too easy for these dudes. Just letting you know Kobe has made 30 or more points in six straight games this postseason.

Can John Calipari be a good Head Coach for LeBron James????? by Ronald Carthen

I should be talking about how well Ray Allen played as he led the Boston Celtics to victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but every LeBron James rumor is going to overshadow the NBA Playoffs. Now we have to listen to rumors that basketball power broker William Wesley, a friend of LeBron and Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari, is working on a package deal to send both of these guys to the Chicago Bulls.

Calipari has continue to say that he's staying with the Kentucky Wildcats and enjoys his job with the Big Blue Nation, but I'm not going to buy that until everything is official.

Calipari has to decide if he wants to coach LeBron James on a long-term basis or continue to coach one-and-done college basketball players that are heading to the NBA draft after their freshman year.

If coach Calipari were to come back to the NBA, can he lead LeBron and his team to an NBA title? It's too soon to tell but Calipari's last NBA experiment didn't work out very well. In the 1996-97 season, he began his NBA coaching career with the New Jersey Nets. In his first season with the team, he led them to a 26-56 record. In the following season, he led to team to the NBA playoffs, but lost in the first round to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Then in the beginning of his third season, Calipari was fired after a 3-17 start. This proves once again that most college coaches need to stay in college.

I don't know if Calipari will ever learn from his mistakes if he decides to coach the NBA again, but LeBron will be able to make things much easier.

Just imagine if Calipari was going to coach LeBron in Chicago next season. It'll give him a chance to reunite with Derrick Rose, who he coached at Memphis, and team up with Luol Deng and Joakim Noah. Or what if they go to New Jersey and possibly team up with John Wall, who he coached at Kentucky last season, that would be insane. Or what about both of them head to the Clippers and take over Kobe Bryant's town, okay that's just wishful thinking.

Keep this in mind about coach Calipari, he has not won a college basketball championship. In 1996, he led Marcus Camby and UMASS to the Final Four but lost to Rick Pitino and the Kentucky Wildcats in the national semifinal. Last season, he led Derrick Rose and the Memphis Tigers to the National Championship, but they end up losing to the Kansas Jayhawks. This past season, he failed to take John Wall and the Kentucky Wildcats to the Final Four, after losing to the West Virginia Mountaineers.

There are something that both LeBron and Calipari have in common, they haven't met their expectations. Though both careers are far from over, they need to win a championship at some point. I'm rooting for both of them to win a title to get that monkey off of their backs. Maybe they need each other to accomplish that goal.

NBA Eastern and Western Conference Preview!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Just for the record LeBron James will never fill Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant's shoes. LeBron needs another All-Star player to help him win a title. With that being said we have from now until the end of the summer to see where he will play for the rest of his life.

Now it's time to talk about four teams who have a chance to play in the NBA Finals this season. You have the Orlando Magic, who are 8-0 in the playoffs, going against the Boston Celtics, who knocked out LeBron and the Cavs, and Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers facing Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns. With the LeBron distractions taking over the attention of the playoffs, I'm looking forward to watching both series. Take a look at my predictions and preview of both series as we move closer to the NBA Finals. 

The Magic deep roster will lead them to victory over the Celtics in Game 7!!!!

The Orlando Magic have not lost a game since April 2nd. They are having way too much fun right now in the playoffs, after sweeping the Charlotte Bobcats and the Atlanta Hawks in the first two rounds. Now they are finally going to get some competition in the postseason. The Celtics have to find a way to get Dwight Howard in foul trouble like the Bobcats did. Howard only averaged only 26.5 minutes in the first round against the Bobcats due to his foul issues. When he faced the Hawks, everyone was scared to defend him. Howard averaged 37.3 minutes, 21.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, and shot over 84% from the field (27-for-32). I know the Celtics are a good defensive team but I don't see Kendrick Perkins to stop him or Kevin Garnett coming in to help.

The Celtics perimeter defense will be tested in this series, with so many three-point shooters on the roster. The Magic have shot over 38% from the three-point range (89-232). There best three-point shooters this postseason are Rashard Lewis (24-for-52), Mickael Pietrus (21-for-41), and Jameer Nelson (19-for-47).

Vince Carter will finally play in his first Eastern Conference Finals. The 11-year veteran averaged 18.3 points, shot 51% from the field and over 46% from the three-point line against the Hawks in the semifinals. If he continues to play this well nothing will stop this team from winning an NBA championship.    

Key Matchup-Rajon Rondo vs Jameer Nelson: It's about time that both point guards will finally get some competition, but in this case it's against each other. Jameer Nelson has been flawless this postseason. He leads the team in points per game this postseason with 20.5 points and shooting over 51% from the field. Rajon Rondo earned his contract extension this season. When you have Mo Williams defending you, of course you'll average 20.8 points and 11.1 assists in the series. Let's see if he'll continue to have his break out postseason.

The Celtics "Big 3" have played a huge role in their run despite Rondo taking over the team day by day. Kevin Garnett had a great series against the Cavs. Shaquille O'Neal, Antawn Jamison, and Anderson Varejao didn't have a shot of stopping KG of averaging 18.8 points and shooting over 52% in this series. I'm very interested on Stan Van Gundy's gameplan and see how Lewis will guard him. Ray Allen came up big in LeBron's fall in the playoffs. In Game 5 of the series, he shot 6-for-9 from the three-point line in a 120-88 win. Ray is averaging over 42% from the three-point line and averaging 17.2 points. Paul Pierce struggled in the Cavs series. He only averaged 13.5 points on only 34% shooting. He better figure out a way to make some more baskets, especially in this series.

Kobe Bryant will lead the Lakers to their third straight NBA Finals appearance in Game 5!!!!! 

Kobe Bryant needed the much needed rest after dealing with injuries with his finger, knee, and what ever other parts of his body he has broken this season. Kobe has won four NBA titles and is still hungry to win more championships. Kobe scored 30 points or more in every game against the Utah Jazz in the semifinals. He averaged 32.0 points and shot over 52% from the field in his last series. The question isn't who's going to stop Kobe, it's if Kobe will hurt himself in this series and that will not happen.

Nobody on the Jazz roster was able to stop Pau Gasol in the semifinals. Pau averaged 23.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and shot over 60% in the last series. The Suns have played much better on defense but I don't know if Amar'e Stoudimire and especially Channing Frye will be able to stop Pau from getting 20 points a game, especially if the Lakers are in transition.

Key Matchup-Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant vs Jason Richardson: Jason Richardson has exploded this postseason after averaging only 15.7 points in the regular season. Jason has averaged 21.9 points and shot over 51% from the field and 51% from three-point range. I think both of these guys will switch off in this series and will shut down Richardson's postseason performance.

Amar'e Stoudimire's shooting percentage dropped from 54% in his series against the Portland Trial Blazers to only 47% against the San Antonio Spurs. He will have a tough time with an unhealthy Andrew Bynum and any other bigs that want to stop him, but I think he'll average 25 points in this series.

35-year old Derek Fisher better be happy he's facing a 36-year old point guard, but his name is Steve Nash. Fisher has had a hard time defending younger guards like Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook, but this will be no different against Nash. It looks like Fisher will need Kobe's help to shutting down Nash, who averaged 22 points, 7.8 assists, and shot 55% against the Spurs in his last series. Nash swollen eye should be great after a week off from Tim Duncan's elbow shot.

The King of WHAT? by Chris Wallace

It's been two straight years as the favorites. There have been two straight early exits, leaving the team in bitter disappointment. And for the second straight year, there will be no Kobe-LeBron debate to settle..sorry fans..sorry ESPN..sorry ratings..sorry Kobe, Shaq and Phil Jackson. In fact, LeBron should probably issue a public apology for such a lousy performance this series (aside from Game 3) and snatching away our opportunity to FINALLY see a Kobe-LeBron showdown. Though LeBron James has never finished the season off hoisting the most important trophy, something seemed oddly and wildly different about this year's early exit. Actually, it seemed a little surreal almost as if you were watching a super hero get destroyed. Regardless of the demeanor of "King" James, a piece of him got ripped away in this series, a legacy has become partially tarnished (though he's only seven years in and has time to recoup) and the way others perceive him now is vastly different than the way most perceived him prior to this series.

What we "witnessed" from one King James this series is a player who:
a. Quit on his team in Game 5 and Game 6 of this series
b. Threw his team and coach under the bus with comments and statements that were clearly selfish and teetering the line of "arrogant invincibility"
c. Had his own personal agenda

Matter or fact, I think it's about time to remove that "King" moniker from his name. A king, by definition, means a male sovereign; ruler of a kingdom or a competitor who holds a preeminent position. How about this definition of king: "preeminence in a particular category or group or field." For the sake of argument, I think it's now fair to say that LeBron is indeed the king (of the regular season---hey, he is preeminent in a particular category right?), based on the last definition above, and it certainly isn't the type of king we've come to expect.

Great players in this league become great for many reasons: leading by example, having great overall skill and most importantly, winning. LeBron James has YET to accomplish the latter..not to say it can't happen, but it's about time that a player like Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade get more respect for what THEY have accomplished on the basketball court. For all of that dancing and disrespecting other teams and being a "team" guy during the regular season, I'm sure it was refreshing to James' teammates that he found ways to say things such as "I spoil a lot of people with my play. When I have three bad games in seven years, it's easy to point them out." He went on even more and stated “I put a lot of pressure on myself to go out and be great and the best player on the court. When I don’t, I feel bad for myself.” In regard to his free agency, LeBron stated “Me and my team, we have a game plan that we’re gong to execute. I've given myself options.” How bout that from your back-to-back MVP?

What we're hearing from LeBron these days is more of self-righteousness than that of accountability. We're hearing from a player who's used to people kissing his feet, not being 100% truthful to him and allowing him to carry on as if he's the only person in the world that matters. Boston didn't care and it showed. They treated him as if he were the new guy in the school who was taking everyone's girlfriend. And for the second straight year, LeBron will watch as someone else moves forward and he sits and waits for someone to coming rushing to his aid...someone to tell him something along these lines: "You're better than Kobe even though he has four titles." Truth be told, LeBron ISN'T greater than Kobe. He isn't greater than the game of basketball itself, but don't tell him that as he and his "team" of agents, groupies, butt-kissers and others "have a plan and plan to execute it." The way LeBron is sounding these days, his plans are to clearly hold the remainder of the playoffs hostage until July 1, 2010, when the biggest free agent in the league's history will flirt with team after team until he finally chooses one. If you read between the lines, he basically said "to hell with the rest of the NBA playoffs and NBA Finals. I AM the story." But if he's forgotten, let me remind him now that KOBE BRYANT IS STILL PLAYING. And by all means, EVERYONE will be watching Kobe for as long as he's playing. You can bet your last dollar on that!

As for LeBron's future, who knows what will happen once July 1st comes. Who knows what team he'll be wearing number 6 for next season..the Bulls? the Knicks? the Heat? The Cavs? Quite honestly at this point, who cares. Aren't teams still playing????? So until July 1, LeBron can continue doing what he did in this series against the Celtics: Be Quiet!

LeBron James' Future is in the CELTICS hands!!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Game 6 of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Celtics could possibly change the NBA as we know it. The Celtics have to beat the Cavs tonight or else they are going to lose when they face each other in Game 7 at Cleveland. The Celtics are up 3-2 in the series, and the best thing to do is treat it like it's Game 7 at the NBA Finals.

I think LeBron will play a lot better then scoring only 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting in his last game, but no matter how well he plays, the Cavs have to get a win tonight. He's 1-5 when he plays at Boston in the postseason. He must attack the Celtics very early like he did in Game 3, when he scored 21 of his 38 points in the first quarter. If this game is close, I don't expect the Cavs to win this game.

LeBron and the Cavs better figure out how anyone is going to defend Rajon Rondo, who's averaging 20.6 points, 11.8 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and shooting over 52% from the field. Moe Williams has no chance of defending him and that will not change tonight.

If you think Antawn Jamison is going to defend Kevin Garnett you are insane. KG is averaging 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and shooting over 50% from the field. It's always great to see him play well and look like himself again. For a while he looked like a player past him prime.

It's good to see Paul Pierce coming back to life in this series, even though he's only averaging 13.6 points in this series. The Celtics are going to need him to put up the same numbers he did in Game 5 (21 points on 9-for-21 shooting) in order to pull off LeBron's epic fail. If LeBron thinks he doesn't have to defend Pierce and switch with Anthony Parker, they are in for a long night.

Speaking of Parker, he can't stop Ray Allen from dropping three's all over the place the last time they faced. Ray shot 6-of-9 three-pointers and finished with 25 points as he had so many open looks from the corner it's crazy.   

I know it hurts every New Yorker to root for a team from Boston, but this could be the night LeBron is one day closer to being a possible member of the New York Knicks.

If LeBron loses tonight, it could change the NBA as we know it. You can expect him to walk off the court and not shake the Celtics hands, you can expect him not to speak to the media, he'll say something encouraging to his teammates, and the media free agent watch of LeBron will officially begin.

If you think the Brett Favre will he or won't he retire media coverage was torture, I can't imagine how much coverage of LeBron will piss you off this offseason.

Let's see which Cavs team will show up tonight.."The best team in the NBA or the biggest choke artist in the league."

Does LeBron have "IT?" by Chris Wallace

This wasn't the scene that ANY basketball fan expected...at least not HERE, not NOW. But there he was...the second most famous #23 in the world was walking off the basketball court with 3:58 remaining in the 4th quarter of Game 5 of the 2010 Eastern Conference Seminfinals against the Boston Celtics to a smattering of boos, plenty of empty seats and puzzled looks on the faces of fans, teammates and even himself. Favorites to win NBA titles shouldn't lose games like THIS---a 32-point HOME loss to a team that's allegedly "too old" to win...a team that possesses a group of 30-somethings Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. A team that supposedly has a 20-something that can't shoot jumpers in Rajon Rondo....a team that supposed has "nothing left in the tank." But they have essentially become a team that NOW has a player that has been the best player in this series BY FAR.

Through the first five games of this surprising series, Rajon Rondo appears to have stolen LeBron James' mojo. Is it the elbow? Is it the impending free agency? Or does LeBron just not have "IT?" By the way, whatever happened to LeBron "asking" to guard Rondo in Game 5?? Whatever the case may be, the Cavaliers potential loss in this series would not only spell the end of their season but potentially the end of an era in Cleveland for the league's back-to-back Most Valuable Player and one of the game's all-time greats. Is this really happening? Is the Cavs season on the brink AGAIN after being favorites to win it all AGAIN this season? Most importantly, does LeBron James' demeanor and words look and sound like a player who urgently wants to win or is anticipating his next big move?

As LeBron, sharply dressed, posted up behind the podium and adjusted the mic on Tuesday night, he boldly stated “I spoil a lot of people with my play. When you have three bad games in seven years, it’s easy to point them out. I put a lot of pressure on myself to go out and be great and the best player on the court. When I don’t, I feel bad for myself.” Huh? Are you kidding me? How dare a player of his caliber use such a cop-out in explaining his woeful 3-for-14 performance by covering his own ass? How dare he sound so immensly selfish that I had to do a double take to make sure this was indeed LeBron speaking. How dare the game's best player, Most Valuable Player not take on a more urgent approach by stating something along these lines---"We will play better and I will make sure we play hard." Kobe would have done it. So would Michael. So would many of the other all-time greats who have won titles.

But LeBron? Perhaps he has already mentally departed the Cavs. Maybe his mind is REALLY more on being a billionaire than winning titles. Maybe his impending free agency has him exploring those options more than he's leading us to believe. The Cavs have babied and pampered LeBron for seven years, surrounding him with the talent to win NOW, sitting back patiently even as he "flirts" with teams such as the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, watching as he brushes off his coaches overtures to play defense or run the offense, watching him dance in front of opposing teams' bench which is an act of disrespect, not disciplining him last season as he rushed off the court in disgust over losing to Orlando (an act in which he shook no ones hand and declined an interview) and most importantly, watched as he has displayed no real sense of urgency in this series, at least not the kind you want in your superstar.

Whatever the case may be, LeBron's legacy is beginning to hang in the balance. Seven years in, there's still nothing really to show for what he has accomplished...yea there's a few MVP's, a few all-star games, scoring titles, all-NBA accolades, etc, etc but players are not measured by the number of all-star games and scoring titles and things of that nature. They need hardware and Lebron knows this. He's currently chasing Kobe Bryant's greatness and popularity (hence his jersey number switch after Kobe's jersey was reportedly the league's top-selling jersey for the 2nd straight year) and wants to be known as "the greatest player of all-time." A loss on Thursday night would almost certainly mean that LeBron's legacy as a Cav would be widely known as the "era that SHOULD and COULD have been." Lost under the rubble would be the Cavs failures in years past. Perhaps Jordan's jumper over Craig Ehlo becomes replaced by LeBron's losses in back-to-back years when the Cavs were considered heavy favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. Maybe even Ernest Byner's fumble against the Broncos gets forgotten. Or perhaps those moments become even MORE engrained in the minds of Cleveland fans, who have yearned for a title for more than 40 years now.

This series, by all means, is far from over. FAR FROM OVER. I mean honestly, the Cavs still have LeBron, who could detinate for 50 or so on a given night, and they are still playing the Celtics, who may not have the legs to finish this series. But time is running short. I have said this a number of times before and I will say it again...The time is NOW for LeBron. All eyes are watching. Kobe's eyes are watching. Jordan's eyes are watching. Fans eyes are watching. Other all-time greats eyes are watching. Sports commentators and observers are watching. Every damn body is watching. So as this series shifts to a potentially season-ending Game 6 is Boston, I hope LeBron is also watching. The clock is ticking...tick...tick..tick.....

Where's the Competition????? by Ronald Carthen

This has been one of the most disappointing NBA semifinals that I have ever seen. You mean to tell me that we have three sweeps in the semifinals for the first time since 1999? What a poor effort by the losing teams.

Let's please start with the sorry Atlanta Hawks, who didn't even try to defend the Orlando Magic. Dwight Howard had way too much fun in this series. He averaged 21.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 84% from the field (27 of 32 shooting) in this series. Nobody should be allowed to be this good in any series. How could you stop anyone in this series when you have nothing but shooters. The Magic were shooting three-pointers all over the place. They made 16 three-pointers alone in Game 4 of the series. This team has not lost a game in the playoffs so far and might be the best team in the playoffs. We'll see how good they are when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Utah Jazz gave it a decent effort, but how can you stop Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe scored 30 points every game of this series and averaged 32.0 points, 5.8 assists, and shot over 52% from the field. Pau better enjoy this series because he'll never have a series as easy as this one again. He averaged 23.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, and shot over 60% from the field. I hope the next series against the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference.

Speaking of the Suns, I can't believe they swept the San Antonio Spurs. That is the last thing I expected this postseason. What ruined the Spurs confidence was Game 3 when Goran Dragic just took over while Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudimire, and Jason Richardson were resting on the bench. Dragic scored 26 points on 10 of 13 shooting and shot five-of-five from the three-point line. Then in Game 4, Tim Duncan elbowed Steve Nash and caused him to get stitches and have his eye swollen. So Nash turned into a one-eyed bandit and scored 20 points, nine assists, and three-of-three on three-point shooting. Nash averaged 22 points, seven assists, and shot 55% from the field.

I'm so glad the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics are playing a real good series or else I would have been so pissed in this postseason so far. I hope the Western and Eastern Conference Finals will give NBA fans some excitement.

Ron's TOP 10 LEADERS in SPORTS!!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Steve Nash showed a great example of being a leader last night. Playing with one of your eyes shut after a Tim Duncan elbow shot and still drops 20 points and nine assists to help the Phoenix Suns sweep the San Antonio Spurs to advance to the NBA Western Conference Finals. So I was thinking who are the Top 10 Best Leaders in all of sports. Not the best player, but someone who gives it there all every single night. Here's my list and let the debates begin.

1) SS Derek Jeter, New York Yankees 
- Nobody has done it any better with dealing with the New York media and performed as well in his career as Jeter. He has won five World Series titles (1996, 1998-2000, 2009), won the Silver Slugger and Gold Glove award four times, rookie of the year in 1995, and selected as an All-Star 10 times. He's the only player to win All-Star game MVP and World Series MVP in the same year. He's yet to win the American League MVP and he still gets the job done. 

2) QB Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings 
- I know he gets a lot of bad press about his retirement decisions, but he's a quarterback you would love to have on Sundays. 40-year old Favre almost took the Vikings to the Super Bowl with an ankle injury. He's the only player to win the MVP three years in a row (1995-97), played in five NFC Championships, played in two Super Bowls (won with the Green Bay Packers over the New England Patriots in 1996 season), and won eight division titles (seven with the Packers and one with  the Vikings). He holds NFL records in consecutive games, touchdowns, passing yards, pass completions, pass attempts, and victories as a quarterback.

3) SG Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
- No matter how many injuries, Kobe has competed and still proves he's one of the best NBA players in the league. He won four NBA titles (2000-2002, and 2009) including winning Finals MVP last season, won the gold medal in the Summer Olympics for USA Basketball in 2008, won his only MVP in 2007-08, won two scoring titles (2006-07), won first-team All-NBA and defensive-team on eight different occasions. During the summer, the man is still in the gym and continues to get better and improves his game every year.

4) QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
- We all thought Reggie Bush would be the face of the Saints franchise, but Drew Brees is not only the face of the Saints, he's the face of the entire city of New Orleans. He led the Saints to a Super Bowl XLIV title this past season and won the Super Bowl MVP. He brought so much joy to this city, especially after Hurricane Katrina broke the hearts of many in the city. He won Offensive Player of the Year in 2008 and and was selected to four Pro Bowls. Him and his wife teamed up for the Brees Dream Foundation to help advance research in the fight against Cancer and provide care, opportunities, and education for children in need.

5) 1B Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals
- With this crazy steroid era in the MLB, it's good to see someone play the game the right way. He won the World Series over the Detroit Tigers in 2006, won the National League MVP three times, and selected to the All-Star game eight times. won Slugger of the Year five times, and won rookie of the year in 2001. Him and his wife started a foundation called "The Pujols Family Foundation," which dedicates to the love,care, and development of people with Down syndrome and their families.

6) QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
- The Colts couldn't ask for a better quarterback for their franchise. Manning led his team to Super Bowl XLI over the Chicago Bears in 2006. He won four MVPs, holds the most consecutive seasons with seven 4,000 passing yards (1999-2004), and leads the franchise in passing touchdowns, wins, completions, attempts, and passing yards. He has his own foundation called the "Peyback Foundation," to help disadvantage kids.

7) QB Tom Brady, New England Patriots
- The sixth-round 2000 draft pick has played in four Super Bowls and won three out of four titles. He won the Super Bowl MVP twice and been to five Pro Bowls. He threw a single-season record 50 touchdown passes and led the team to an undefeated regular-season in 2007. He won his only MVP award in 2007  

8) LB Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens 
- It's always a joy to watch Lewis play football every Sunday. I've never seen anyone have the passion of the game like this man. The Miami Hurricane alum led the Ravens to a Super Bowl title over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV in the 2000 season. He was only the second linebacker to win the Super Bowl MVP and the first to win it on a winning team. He won the defensive player of the year twice in 2000 and 2003 and was selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times.

9) C Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
- Sidney is only 22 years old and he's accomplished so much in four seasons in the NHL. Last season, he was the youngest captain to lead his team to the Stanley Cup title. In this year's Winter Olympics, he hit Canada's game-winning goal over the United States in overtime to lead his country to a gold medal. This season, he won the Rocket Richard Trophy (most goals in a regular season). In 2007, he won the Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP) and Art Ross Trophy (Most points in the regular season).           

10) SF LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
- The 25-year old small forward continues to get better and better in six seasons in the NBA. In the last two seasons, he has won two MVP awards. The six-time All-Star and four-time All-NBA first team continues to make his team better and better. He led his team to the NBA Finals and two Eastern Conference Finals.

WTH Moment of the Day....Poll Vaulter gets a surprise of his life as he lands!!!!!

UFC 113 Preview...The Rematch of the Year!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

The Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight was good, but it won't be as exciting as UFC 113 as the Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (16-0) will give Mauricio "Shogun" Rua the rematch he deserves when they square off for the title on Saturday. I also can't wait to see the Welterweight No.1 contender's match as Josh Koscheck will face Paul "Semtex" Daley and Kimbo Slice's first UFC Pay-Per-View as he faces Matt Mitrione. Here are my predicitions for this event and get ready for these fights to explode at Montreal.

Lyoto Machida will learn from his mistakes and retain the Light Heavyweight Title!!!!!  

I'm really looking forward to this rematch between both Machida and Shogun. Let's be honest, Shogun was robbed from his last fight with "The Dragon" in October. How the judges scored Machida the winner by unanimous decision to keep the title is still a surprise to me. Shogun's leg kicks destroyed Lyoto's ability to leap and strike his fighters. I think Machida will be a lot smarter in this contest and use his karate to shut down Shogun's Muay Thai Style attack. Machida will have to find a way to put Shogun on the ground to slow him down instead of taking his chances to take some big punches to the face. Shogun is great and should have won the last fight, but I think "The Dragon" will be unleashed and will win by split decision, despite the fact that Shogun never loses a rematch. 

Paul Daley will be the next opponent for the Welterweight title!!!!!

I know Kosccheck is the favorite into this fight because of his great take down and great grappling attack but I've seen crazy things happen before in the octogan. I think Daley's trash talking towards Koscheck will give him the confidence he needs instead of getting what he deserves. Daley compared Koscheck to a Jim Henson puppet and even questioned his sexual preference. All it matters is what happens in the cage. Daley's hooks are so dangerous and Koscheck is going to have a hard time fighting him standing up. Koscheck better put Daley on the ground for most of the fight or it will be a quick and easy fight. The only way Koscheck will win this fight is by submission or by decision, but Daley will knock him out in the second round and will move on to face Georges St. Pierre for the Welterweight title. 

Kimbo Slice will win in this Ultimate Fighter Alumni match!!!!! 

The last time we saw both Kimbo and Mitrione, they had some impressive wins in the Ultimate Fighter finale. Kimbo defeated Houston Alexander by unanimous decision and Mitrione knocked out Marcus "Big Baby" Jones in the second round. Now they'll meet in their first ever UFC PPV. Both heavyweights do a great job fighting straight up but I'm impressed by both fighters ground game, especially how Kimbo has improved since losing to Roy Nelson during the Ultimate Fighter on the ground and took it to Alexander on the ground. The biggest question to me about this fight will be Kimbo's endurance. I've seen Kimbo get tired in the third round and claw his way to a victory with no enough gas left in the tank. If the fight heads to a third round, I expect Mitrione to go after him very quickly and get enough points or knock him out. Mitrione is the favorite but I'm going with the underdog in this one as well. Kimbo will win by unanimous decision and I can't wait to see him continue to improve in the UFC.  

JAMARCUS RUSSELL is finally DONE with the RAIDERS!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Finally the Oakland Raiders have released quarterback JaMarcus Russell. I was so sick of seeing this dude on television and making black quarterbacks look bad all over the league.

This man was the laziest quarterback that I have ever seen. No heart, no determination, no passion for the sport at all. All he did was collect, no let me rephrase that, he stoled $39 million from the Raiders and only won seven games in his 25 starts in his three-year NFL career. He was going to make $9 million this year and I'm glad that owner Al Davis finally gave the fans what they wanted. He helped the Raiders extend an NFL-worst seven straight years with at least 11 losses.

He completed only 52.1 percent of his passes with only 18 touchdown passes, 23 interceptions, and 15 fumbles lost, and a QB rating of 65.2.

This LSU alum was a disgrace to the league and I'm happy to see him go. He may have a great arm but he had no results with it. Don't tell me you thought he had potential when he missed training camp and you thought he would lead the Raiders to the promise land. Ever since he came in the league he looked pathetic and didn't show the will to be a competitor at all. I just shook my head every time he stepped on the field because I knew he would bomb when he touched the field.

I hope Jason Campbell, who was traded to the Raiders from the Washington Redskins, will be much better for this franchise. NFL fans deserve better, especially how much tickets cost to see these players play.

It's clear he's the biggest NFL bust I've ever seen and I hope works much harder to be a football player. I personally think he would never make a practice squad for any NFL or CFL team. He should be ashamed for performing this poorly in the league and he should say I'm sorry to every fan, teammate, and people in the front office.

Raiders fans this is your day to celebrate, so celebrate like it's another Cinco De Mayo. 

                  

Say it ain't so LT!!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Lawrence Taylor you can't be serious right now? Did you really take a 16-year old girl in a hotel room in New York and rape her? Consensual or not you have no business having sex with a girl that is under age. Come on man you are 51 years old you are better then that.  LT could be charged with statutory rape that carries a four-year term, it should be much longer in my opinion. 

This poor girl was taken from Taylor's hotel room by her pimp, Rasheed Davis, and both drove back to New York City. Then she texted her uncle about the situation and then he called the NYPD. Then the police went to LT's hotel room and arrested him.

I'm happy to hear that Davis is arrested on charges of unlawful imprisonment, assault and endangering the welfare of a child. That poor girl stayed with him in the Bronx for a few weeks. He beat her, and told her to have sex with LT for $300 at the Holiday Inn. The money was given to him when it was all over.    

I can't believe LT put himself in this situation. This man had many run-ins with the law in the past, which makes it more dump that he made this mistake. In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges and admitted his guilt or go to a prevention program. In 2000, he received five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion. In 2001, he was convicted of possesion of drug paraphernalia in New Jersey, which stemmed in 1998 when police found a butane torch and other materials used to smoke crack. Then this past November, he was arrested in Miami for leaving a scene of an accident.

LT you were my top 10 favorite NFL players that I've ever seen when you played with the New York Giants. Now you are fallen out of my list for good and I hope you get what's coming to you. How dumb can you be a 16-year old? You have no business bringing a strange child with you in public, you know nothing but bad things happen. I don't care if you thought she looked like she was 21 years old you don't touch her period. 

Here's another question, why is this 16-year old girl a lost soul in this country? I blame that on her uncle and parents for not protecting this child and not teaching her any values of life. It's terrible what has happened to this girl and I hope she will turn her life around. Who knows how many men she had sex with but I'm glad she finally said something. I hope the NYPD find those other sick men who took advantage of her.  

If he's guilty I'm done with him for the rest of my life. I don't understand how you can put yourself in these situations and think you can get away with it. How about getting some help and start acting your age.        

1st-Team All-NBA Defensive-Team!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

I'm happy to see that four out of five players made it on this first-team all defensive team. However, how do you put Gerald Wallace over Josh Smith. Smith was third in the NBA in blocks averaging 2.14 a game. I didn't see Wallace in the top 10 of this categorie but he finished in the top 10 in rebounds. I don't think they need to underestimate Smith at all as he falls to second. Here are your first and second team All-NBA defensive teams.

NBA All-Defensive First Team
C- Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic
F- LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
F- Gerald Wallace, Charlotte Bobcats
G- Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
G- Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics   

NBA All-Defensive Second Team
C- Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
F- Anderson Varejao, Cleveland Cavaliers
F- Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks
G- Thabo Sefolosha, Oklahoma City Thunder
G- Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat


  

D-WADE's Wife sues Gabrielle Union!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

It looks like Dwyane Wade will have more problems besides where is he going to play next season. D-Wade's wife Siohvaughn Wade has filed suit against actress Gabrielle Union for her relationship with D-Wade has caused emotional distress towards D-Wade's two sons, who are 8 and 2 years old.

The crazy part to this story is Siohvaughn is accusing Gabrielle for engaging sexual foreplay with D-Wade in front of the boys, which she claims messed up the boys emotionally and mentally. She said that the defendant played sexually explicit roles including playing a role of a seductress.

She also said D-Wade bought Gabrielle the best gift on Christmas day last year, while the boys had medium size gifts.

I can't believe these former high school sweethearts are still married and seperated for the last two years and can't even get a divorce. Thank goodness they will get it settled in June, but it could get pushed back to September.

During this trial for divorce, D-Wade will be looking to have sole custody of his kids and ask for his wife to get pshychologically evaluated. Siohvaughn alleged that D-Wade abandoned his children and was guilty of extreme and repeated mental distress."

Maybe this woman should be invited to be on VH1's "Basketball Wives" and sit and complain about her life like the rest of those women who are their for attention and not a cry for help.

The last thing D-Wade needs is this mess, especially when he has to make a decision about his NBA season. I'm not sure about Siohvaughn's past but bringing Gabrielle into this is uncalled for. This is only about the right to have custody of your children, don't try to ruin this woman's career.

D-Wade will be offered a 6-year/$127 million deal with the Miami Heat or move on else where. This will distract his decision because his kids may need him more then ever. I am disappointed that the divorce didn't get finalized any sooner before this situation breaks out. Being a married man and dating another woman is not a good look at all.

This will not hurt D-Wade's image but he needs to get this taken care so he can move on with his life. The longer this mess takes the longer this will hurt his kids in the long run.

Did Vinny Del Negro deserve to get fired????? by Ronald Carthen

It's a shame that Vinny Del Negro was fired as head coach of the Chicago Bulls. When we all heard that Del Negro's altercation with executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson, we all knew it was down hill for him if he made the playoffs or not.

Del Negro coached the Bulls for only two seasons, but he was responsible for the development of Derrick Rose and the improvement of Joakim Noah and we all know it's true. It was him who led Rose to the 2008-09 Rookie of the Year and the Bulls first all-star selection since 1998. Noah averaged 10.7 points and 11 rebounds this season (he only averaged 6.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. This postseason he was the first Bulls player to go 20-20 (21 points and 20 rebounds in Game 4 vs. Cavaliers) in a playoff game and the first to do it since Dwight Howard in 2008.

Del Negro lead the Bulls to the playoffs twice in his two seasons with the squad. They did lose to LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games this postseason, but their first round series with the Celtics was epic. Who expected them to push the Celtics to seven games, even without Kevin Garnett, no one.

Del Negro was on the hot seat in December, especially blowing a 35-point lead and losing to the Kings. They even went on a 10-game losing streak from February 27-March 19, while Noah was nursing a foot injury.

The Del Negro-Paxson feud reached it's boiling point when Noah didn't play more than 15 minutes when he returned from injury. When the Bulls lost to the Nets and Noah only played 13 minutes, that's when things for both men began battle amongst each other and things were never the same.

For someone who didn't have any coaching experience I thought he did a great job. With all the injuries he dealt with on this team and the battles he had in his own front office, it's amazing he lasted this long. Most coaches would have been fired or whined about it and resigned. The man only had one more year left on his contract and I wish the Bulls would have let him honor his contract.

Paxson better have a great choice for the Bulls next coach, especially with a great NBA offseason coming up this summer. If you want a big free-agent to help out Rose, you must find someone that all of these players will respect.

Well Paxson the ball is in your court now. Make something happen or you'll be unemployed like your boy Del Negro.

Black-Eye on Virginia Athletics!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

22-year old Men's Lacrosse player George Huguely was charged for murdering 22-year old Women's Lacrosse player Yeardley Love. I can't believe we still have crazy stories like this in our country.

Both of these guys are seniors and it's sad that both of these people's college lives ended like this.

Yeardley's body was discovered in her apartment by one of her two roomates. When the police came in, they noticed she suffered physical trauma but the cause of death is yet to be determined. The death was obviously ruled as a homicide.

Witnesses say that both of them were involved in a past relationship. I don't care what she or he did, love should never drive you this crazy to kill them. If that person is not for you accept it and just move on. I don't know why he would kill her but that makes no sense. I'm tired of people dying over nonsense and hurting many family members and friends who cared for them their whole lives.

If this basterd did this to her I hope he stays in prison forever with no chance of parole. I mean seriously you had your whole life ahead of you and you let your sick love for her come down to this. It doesn't make any sense of taking a life just because she doesn't want to be with you.

People please life is too short don't let anybody get to you to the point you want to kill them.

THANK YOU for saving the UNITED STATES!!!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

Thank you Lance Orton and Duane Jackson for preventing another attack on New York City, one of the best city's in the world.

Lance, a T-Shirt vendor, told 46-year old officer Wayne Rhatigan  that something was strange about a Nissan Pathfinder parked off Broadway on the south side of 45th street. Duane also noticed something was wrong with the vehicle and waved some officiers. Then when everyone heard a few pops, everyone began to run away and once again the whole city was living in fear.

Rhatigan evacuated everyone around the area to make sure everyone was going to make it out alive. Then firefighters and police officers began to handle the situation and noticed the bombs in the car. The situation was handled and the city thankfully lived to see another day.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared officer Rhatigan a hero and took him to a great steak restaurant. What ever happened to Orton and Jackson's invite to a steak dinner. If it wasn't for these two vendors and Vietnam War veterans, this city would have been a mess and many lives would have been lost. The last thing this country needs is another attack at NYC, especially when times are hard enough as it is.

I was glad to see Orton on the "Today Show" and recognized for his efforts. He doesn't want any special treatment but he was just doing his job. He and Jackson have no choice but to become special to this country. Since they both served their country, they didn't have to say a word and kept moving. Thankfully they found the courage to make one more brave act of this country and prevented another US disaster.

So thank you guys for everything you have done for us and your decision to save this country to live our lives will never be forgotten.                    

Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao...Finally?????!!!!!! by Ronald Carthen

I told you right here on our site that Floyd Mayweather would beat Shane Mosley by a unanimous decision. I'll admit Shane gave Floyd some big shots in the second round and I was nervous, but Floyd went to work on 38-year old Shane through the rest of the fight and improved to 41-0 and taking that cash. Now can we please get "Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao"? Wait a minute it could actually happen sometime soon.

Manny Pacquiao, the WBO World Welterweight champion and The Ring World Junior Welterweight champion, watch the Mayweather-Mosley fight and was very impressed with his possible future opponent. After the fight, he says he's willing to take the Olympic-style random blood testing as long as the testing has a cutoff date of 24 days.

The only problem with that decision is Mayweather and Pacquiao went down this road before. Pacman wanted a 24-day cutoff while both fighters were negotiating the fight. Mayweather wanted him to take a 14-day cutoff before they fight.           

Mayweather please do us a favor and let the No. 1 pound-for-pound best fighter in the world get his wish and let this fight happen. You know how much you want to get paid and you know you'll have a record pay day and pay-per-view buys. You are not going to let this drug testing stop you from feeding your family will you. Seriously it's time to get this fight done before everyone thinks you are ducking Pacman and you are scared to fight him.

I've said it time and time again we all deserve better when it comes to the sport of boxing. Pacquiao's fight with Joshua Clottey at Cowboys Stadium back in March was a disgrace and Mayweather's fight with Mosley was entertaining, but it wasn't a classic and it didn't deserve to have a $60.00 value on PPV ($70.00 in HD).

Both of these guys better come to a conclusion and get this deal done. No more warm up PPV fights and no more no names. It's time to give fans what they finally want, a real boxing event.

Halle Barry...Single Again!!!!!! by David Wynn

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey have decided to go their separate ways, according to “the streets”.The legendary “five star” Berry started dating Aubreyin 2006 after meeting at a Versace photo shoot. Halle and Aubrey had daughter, Nahla Ariela, in 2008.The two times divorced Berry once said of their relationship: "I feel more married now than I did in any of my actual marriages." (Not sure if that’s a positive or a negative.)It's reportedly an mutually decided split (yeah right, what man in his right mind would leave that), with the couple agreeing to joint custody of Nahla. Aubrey asked to keep a house in Canada that the couple bought together and Berry agreed, sources say.So fellas, if your game is on point, Halle is now available. But tread lightly, as the rumor mill tells me she no longer messes with brothas.
