Basketball, NBA Aside

Lebron James won’t be a Free Agent until 2014, but the speculation has already started as where he will end up. With an aging Dwyane Wade and Miami’s future in Lebron’s hands, where will LeBron go next If he decides to leave Miami? Some might describe LeBron as a ring chaser ever since he joined up with Wade and Bosh, but in today’s league, how many rings you get will determine your legacy. So could you blame him? He wants to be considered as one of the greattes to ever play.

So where does Chris Paul come in this conversation? LeBron James and Chris Paul are the best of friends, I would argue that he’s even more close to Paul than he is to Wade. And outside of Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul is one the most competitive players in the NBA, he wants to win BAD! If the situation is right and they can make it happen, LeBron James WILL pair up with Chris Paul to add rings on his resume. Obviously, the pair would have to have great role players along with them but don’t be surprised if you see these two as teammates within the next to years! Where will go? So which team will be able to afford the two superstars? Only time will tell!!!

Why Chris Paul deserves to be an MVP.

Chris Paul proved to yesterday that he should be the MVP of the league this year, after a sensational performance beating the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime last night. LeBron will end up winning his third MVP and he has had a statistical season for the records. But Chris Paul has done more with less he has won in spite of the bland coaching of Vinny Del Negro, Chauncey Billups season ending injury, and playing with a bunch of NBA journeymen and other players that never quite reached their potential. But what Paul has done changing the image and attitude of the Clippers is remarkable. The fact that one player can bring a team with a tradition of losing  to on the brink of a second round playoff birth for only the second time in 35 years should be applauded.  I would be a damn shame is Paul never wins an MVP if there is a player out there that deserves it, its him.  Steve Nash pulled down two MVP trophies I think its time to give Paul his award.

Clipper Darrell-no longer?

I’m going to be honest I had never heard of Clipper Darrell before last night.  But after doing a little research I was shocked to find out that the Clippers organization asked a season ticket holder since 2000 to stop using the Clipper name because he was profiting off of it too much. I understand the legal jargon, licenses, brand names etc., but doesn’t it seem the Clippers are a bit harsh in this case.  New Clipper Chris Paul seemed to really embrace Clipper Darrell. No one has paid attention to the Clippers for the longest time, and finally when your on the national stage you diss your biggest fan. Donald Sterling has been one of the worst owners in history, and this is another one of his bad moves.  You can read more about it here http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/7631532/darrell-bailey-says-los-angeles-clippers-asked-refrain-using-clipper-darrell-name

Stern has ruined the NBA again.

David Stern’s latest power move to block Chris Paul from going to the Lakers has assured that the Lakers and Heat will be in the finals for the years to come. Stern has effectively alienated enough players in the league, that they will all be flying to and using their power to go wherever they want to go. The Lakers will get Chris Paul one way or another, and with a trade the Hornets would have at least gotten something back and be somewhat competitive team.

What makes no sense about Stern’s better for the league argument is that Chris Paul is a FREE AGENT after this season, does he not understand that Paul is leaving anyway. I can’t believe he would justify keeping Paul for 66 games just not to piss off Dan Gilbert seriously? There has NEVER been competitive balance in NBA history. The great Phil Jackson was in 13 of the last 20 finals!!!! There have always been dynasties it is what makes the NBA great, you think people want to see a Bucks/ Grizzlies finals???? Does Stern not know that superstars and super teams are what’s good for the league? This 2010/2011 was one of the best seasons the leagues has had in years and it was because the Heat were a super team.

Early in the lookout people jumped on Bryant Gumble for saying that Stern was a plantation owner, this latest move of making Paul stay in his place does help remove that image. Also Stern works for the owners who are really behind this whole thing anyway, Cleveland Cavilers owner Dan Gilbert is turning into one of the worst people in competitive sports calling the trade a ‘travesty.’ Was it not a travesty when you were trying to work out a trade for Amare? His absolute ridiculousness is just laughable at this point; instead of developing Kyrie Irving he’s worried about the Lakers? Owners in the same mind frame as Gilbert should worry about creating teams around the players they have to be competitive no one wanted to come to Dallas, but Cuban changed that with his attitude and the moves that he made. I believe that blocking this trade has done more damage than the NBA lockout, and it’s a shame that this has to tarnish the NBA season.
