June 12, 2011 We are nearly a year removed from the decision, and the Miami Heat have as many rings as they did last summer. As easy as it would be to pick at all the flaws in Miami's game, Dallas was just the better TEAM. I was one of those people who believed 3 superstars and 'C' players would defeat 1 superstar and 'B' players.

June 1, 2011 You have to love the man formerly known as Lew Alcindor. In the last few weeks, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has been busy blasting the Lakers for failing to recognize him with a statue in front of Staples Center.

Charles gets so grumpy he once called his producer a 'female body part' on national tv. I have a feeling in 2011 after 40 nights we'll want 40 more!

January 13, 2011 Of all the social networking sites available today, I think Twitter is the one best suited for athletes and celebrities. My space is on life support, and Facebook is a place where 'regular people' post pictures, reconnect with old friends and family, or keep tabs on their social circles. Twitter gives athletes and celebrities the forum to express whatever is on their mind (in 140 characters or less) without the pressure of cameras, microphones, or the dreaded follow up question. However, this medium has gotten some athletes into hot water.
