CRAZY

The NBA has gone mad this summer

Ron Artest to the Lakers
Sheed to the Celtics?
Shaq to the Cavs!!!!!!
Turkoglu spurns the Blazers for Toronto?
Matrix to Dallas
Celtics diss Powe and Davis
Grant Hill ponders between NY and Boston?
Steph Curry to GS
Blake Griffin to the NBA's Black hole
Ricky Rubio hates Minny!
so they take Jonny Flynn as well
AI still has no home
oh yeah and LeBron get tyrannical again (or brattish)

there is a lot of Movement in the NBA, and it won't stop any time soon, except maybe in the summer of 2010, because the salary cap is expected to drop.

what is your favorite move thus far?

Andre Iguodala

I'm a HUGE Philadelphia 76ers fan, and our resident star Andre Iguodala, has recently indicated that he dislikes the nickname "Iggy". A name that announcers have used since his rookie year. I want to take this time to apologize to Mr. Iguodala. I guess I just have to call him Andre, or Iguodala, because AI still belongs to Allen Iverson, PS, AI, come back to Philly

SIXERS TAKE GAME 1

Iggy, said it best, "We've won one more game than most people expected us to." we'll I'm rooting for my PHILADELPHIA 76ers!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking My Heart

To see what the Detroit Pistons and Micheal Curry are doing to AI, in an ESPN article, he's quoted as saying "I'd rather retire than do this again." I'd personally like to see a return to Philly!!! COME BACK HOME ALLEN IVERSON!!!!!!!!!!

WHY

Why bring AI off of the bench in Detroit? Granted the new starting 5 (or the originals with stuckey) have played well, but making AI a 12 minute a night back-up, thats insane! FREE AI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Come BACK to PHILLY!!!!

SUPERMAN!!!!!!!

SNUB!!!!!

This has been on my mind for the longest, how did Mo Williams get an All Star spot before my man Andre Iguodala? Iggy and Mo are egual on ppg, however Iggy stuffs the stat sheet every night as the focal point of offense and defense. smh, the NBA messed up, Iggy for 2010 ASG and dunk Contest!

Mbenga vs. Mihm: They Suck Anyway!

BAD NBA Moment

LA Clippers Forward Zach Randolph lost his cool last night and gave Suns reserve Louis Amundson a left hook to the jaw. Randolph was immediately ejected from the game. Amundson had no visible effects, he scored 13 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in the 40 point Phoenix victory. Randolph made a STUPID decision, and didn't even help his team in doing so, he didn't take anyone out of the game with him so, he left his team HIGH and DRY! Get it together Zach!

Throwback

ALLEN IVERSON cut his hair in tribute, a look back to the last time he sported his new "do".

IF

If the Phoenix Suns trade F/C Amar'e Stoudemire, it will be a HUGE mistake and will solidify the ending of the D'Antoni run and gun style of basketball made famous in Phoenix. It will usher in a dysfunctional era, which will take years to get out of. Many of the players such as Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash, and Grant Hill are aging and trading your best young player is not a smart move.

Alternate NBA 2K9 Cover-AI

Allen Iverson has been my favorite player in the NBA since Jordan left the Bulls in 99, I personally can't stand to see him in another Eastern Conference team's jersey, but I did this custom cover in spite on the Pistons UGLY jerseys. lol

Who should be the NBA ROY?

Most casual fans will say that, just by numbers, Memphis guard,  O.J. Mayo, is the front runner for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, and for the most part, I agree, he is having a great season averaging 19 points, 4 rebounds, and shooting 44 percent from the floor, 88 percent from the free throw line, and 37 percent from three-point land, all after a controversial off-season. 

But are there any other candidates for the crown?

I'll make the case for some under-publicized first year players having good seasons.

Marc Gasol- Yes the same Marc Gasol who started for Spain alongside his All-Star brother Pau in this past summers Olympic Games. Even though he was drafted by the Lakers in the 2nd round of the 2007 NBA draft, he is technically a rookie this season after playing overseas last season. He is currently Memphis' starting center and is showing some true skill, averaging 11 points (8th among rookies) and 7 rebounds (3rd among rookies) a game and shooting 52 percent(5th among rookies with at least 30 games played) from the field, and he is the fourth scoring option of the Grizzlies. He probably won't win, but he deserves a bit of recognition.

Kevin Love- The former UCLA center is averaging better than 8 points and 8 rebounds a game, off of the bench! He is 5th among all players in offensive rebounds with 136 boards. He is averaging 17.6 rebounds per 48 minutes, good for fourth in the NBA. So far in January, he has yet to have less than 7 rebounds in a game. In my book, giving your team more possessions is EXTREMELY valuable.

Mario Chalmers- Miami's rookie point guard is ranked 7th in steals per game, and 6th in total steals. He's proving to be a lock down defender on the perimeter. He has 12 games this season with at least 3 swipes, 7 of which he had 4 or more. He had 9 steals in a single game(against my Sixers, ugh) but he's putting it down in Miami. He's also shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc.

Most of us know about Derrick Rose (Chicago), Michael Beasley (Miami) , Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City), and Greg Oden (Portland, and last years #1 overall pick). These are just some cats to keep an eye out for , they may break into the starting lineup (Love) begin to post better numbers (Gasol), or my cause an impact in the playoff hunt(Chalmers). You just never know.

2009 NBA All-Star Game Jerseys

This year's all-star game will be held in Phoenix, and these jersey's while not my favorite are a vast improvement over last years version. (Hope Iggy gets one of these this year)
