“We didn’t think about it cause that’s not what we were about. From college, I was trying to figure out how to beat Larry Bird. It was never a question in our mind because nobody has ever done that.” Now Magic Johnson has spoken on his thoughts about teaming up with Michael Jordan and Larry [...]

Not only are the Heat talking with Tracy McGrady about joining the team but they are on the cover of the newest Sports Illustrated. I really thought that ESPN or SLAM would beat SI to the first Heat cover. Funny how SI only makes 2 or 3 good covers a year. So go out there and [...]
“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team. But that’s … things are different. I can’t say that’s a bad thing. It’s an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those [...]

The Warriors got new owners today which lead me to think of the qualities I look for in an owner of a sports team. First the owner has to be willing to spend money, the big bucks if necessary and even go way into the luxury tax. Second the owner has to want attention and [...]
Pat Riley’s dream is finally coming true. Juwan Howard is coming to the Miami Heat. So what if it is 14 years after he first signed him? The NBA voided the deal because of the order in which the Heat signed them made them go over the salary cap. But now Riley has his man. I mean [...]

The moment we all have been waiting for is coming tonight on ESPN at 6 p.m. WST from the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, Connecticut and it is called The Decision. Lebron James will tell the world the next team he will play for. I still feel the Knicks have the best chance to get him, [...]
The Chicago Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has just got the man who can fill all the voids the Bulls are lacking in, Carlos Boozer. He might not be Lebron James or Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh but he is a 20-10 guy for years with low post moves for days. And this can’t hurt in [...]

Dwyane Wade has brought Chris Bosh to the Miami Heat. The only question is tomorrow when Lebron James makes his BIG annocement live on ESPN at 6pm WST during his one hour special will the King come to the Heat as well? Don’t be too suprised if it happens.
