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.

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.
