My guess has, and will be until proven otherwise, unequivically yes...damn. Remember Kobe or T-Mac was a legit argument?

Eh, If the Prez says it...

Since fans select the All-Star starters, the same 10 are virtual locks for the next 5-10 years. However, All-Stars reserves which are selected by coaches are usually held up to a hire standard.
Enter the Snubs.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the top teams in the NBA this season and it is understandable that they should have more than one player representing them in Phoenix.
Cavs Guard Mo Williams is one who got the snub when reserves were announced last night, which in turn made Ben Wallace deliver this gem to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.


“It’s a tragedy,” Ben Wallace said. “I think it’s an injustice. It’s a fraud. We’ve got the best record in the league, and we’ve only got one guy going. You always make it the next year, after the year you were supposed to make it. It’s a travesty and a sham and a mockery. It’s a shamockery.”

Heeeeelarious Ben, just heeeeelarious. Does anyone got a soundbite on this? Because if Big Ben said this with a serious tone of voice, that just makes it all the more hilarious.

I for one think Shaq should be placed in the All-Star game, one way or another, until he doesn't want to play anymore, not only is he back playing at a dominant level, but also because of shit like this....

Remember when the Nets had Jason Kidd? Remember how geeked we fans were when the Vince Carter deal happened. Thinking we were going to get something that resembled this specimen. Well if you dont, this is the Vince we wanted. This tape right here, is the legendary Vince Carter Tape. No music, shitty chopping, simply known as, "The Tape" adds more to the legend of the greatest game dunker of all time. Credit to Slam Magazine

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of being in the Boston area during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tickets were too expensive to come by, but just being a New Yorker in the midst of stressed out Bostonians for a sporting event, well, it felt pretty good anyway.
Lebron James and Paul Pierce put on a playoff performance for the ages that is already being compared to the Bird-Nique showdown in the 80s. Seemed like these were the only two with the sack to take every big shot in the game and literally carried their respective teams to the threshold.
However, speaking on the Cavaliers, does anybody really blame Bronnie if he dips out of Ohio in two years? The supporting cast is almost laughable. The only thing better than watching this epic showdown yesterday, was watching Greg Anthony son Skip Bayless on First Take on ESPN2. Anthony pretty much dared Skip to hate on LeBron, and when he did (no surprise), Greg Anthony proceeded to shut Skip the fuck up. Thankfully. I mean how can you hate on this?

Allegedly, the former USC star and projected Lottery Pick in the 2008 received thousands of dollars in cash, clothes and other benefits while at USC and at Huntington High School in West Virginia. A flat-screen television for Mayo's dorm room, cell phone service, a hotel room, clothes, meals and airline tickets were some of the things mentioned by a former member of Mayo's inner circle Louis Johnson.
It is being said that OJ gave a verbal agreement to big shit sports agent Bill Duffy while in high school that in exchange for the benefits, that OJ would sign with his management firm upon entering the NBA.
Shit, as much as I hate to see college athletes get hated on like this, the paper trail is way too thick. Those who know of OJ's past know that he was constructed to be an NBA player ever since he was in the 8th grade. He's alot older than the typical freshman(21 years) and his commitment to USC screamed one and done since it was announced two years ago.
To be honest, it's only going to screw over USC and OJ has virtually nothing to lose and only needs to deny it all the way to the bank (see: Reggie Bush). USC can potentially lose scholorships, tournament participation, and get butt-raped by the way too up tight NCAA.
Check out the ESPN Outside the Lines report after the jump...

The best point guard in the league hands down.

Shaq finally shows his ass, sadly though, it was off the court, and not on it.

You play for the SUNS Shaq! Not the Moons!

Knowing ESPN and their ability to make useless stories, I'm highly surprised that they didn't make so much of the pregame rituals of the marquee athletes in tonight's playoff games.

Screw X's and O's and LeBron playing the worst game of his life, and the Celtics quest for the chip, it's all about the baby powder! KG is obviously the originator of the baby powder routine, but LeBron has definitely freaked the ritual and has turned it into a full-fledge pregame show.

I want to know, who does it better? Bronnie or KG?
