Congrats to Derrick Rose and hopefully they will eliminate the Celtics in seven. Would love to play the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals and pay them back for Michael Jordan with our version. Derrick Rose became the third Bulls player to win the award Wednesday, joining Michael Jordan and Elton Brand (who shared the award with Steve Francis). He received 111 first-place votes and 574 points from a national panel of sports writers and broadcasters; runner-up O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies received five first-place votes and 127 points. “When I first came into the season, my biggest thing [...]

Good news for the rest of the East and bad news for the Celtics, Leon Powe has a torn his ACL and will end his season. This news only gets worse for the defending champs and will hamper their chances at winning the East, let alone the NBA. I figured Powe could relive his magical playoff ride from last season and help fill the void KG left.

He made some beautiful passes, great stops, and even hit a half court buzzer beater right before halftime. The Cavs went into half shooting 61% and it looked like the Pistons knew they couldn’t keep up. The Cavs continue to beat up on the Pistons in the second half. Joe Smith made some nice offensive plays and continues to play a big role off the bench. At the end of the [...]

1. Himself 2. Michael Jordan 3. Emmitt Smith 4. Penny Hardaway 5. Deion Sanders I loved hearing who was LeBron’s favorite athletes when he was growing up. MJ was my favorite when I was a kid and LeBron has been my favorite in my adult life. I would replace the bottom three with Ken Griffey Jr. (only legit home run hitter in the 90′s), Derrick Thomas (I am Chiefs fan too), and Jerry Rice (greatest WR of All-Time).
