Shaq & Lebron??

Once Shaq goes to Cleveland his new nickname will be The

Once Shaq goes to Cleveland, Lebron should call him the Big Shaqahoga (instead of Cuyahoga)

The NBA Finals are over!!  The off season and free agency has arrived.  There is a lot of buzz going around about the possibility of Shaq playing with Lebron James.  Just think of the possibilities!!  Now I know Shaq is getting long in the tooth but I still believe he has gas left in his tank.  Other than maybe Dwight Howard, I just don’t see any other center in the Eastern Conference that would be able to hang with him.  Many people will say that it is only wishful thinking and that it will never happen.  Well I have reason to believe that Shaq will end up with the Cavaliers.  If my sources are correct it is already in the books.  I am sure you are asking who my sources might be?  Well can you keep a secret?? Alright I will tell you who one of my sources is.. You ready?? Ok here goes..My source is Noneya.. as in Noneya Goddamn business.  You really thought I was going to tell you who it was.  Let me just tell you that my source is a very reputable one.  So.. I am predicting that Shaq will end up playing for the Cavs next season.  I hope my sources don’t make me look like a fool.

Think Lebron.. How can I win a championship like Kobe and D-Wade?  A-ha, I got it.  I need Shaq!

Now I am sure many of my readers are asking themselves why do I care if Shaq goes to Cleveland.  Well I am glad you asked!!  I care because I have reason to believe that I know this information to be 99.9% true.  With that being said, I care because I know information that not too many other people know.  And in the worst case if I am misinformed then I will chalk it up to bad sources.  What? Did you think that i was going to take the heat if I am wrong with my bold prediction?

Well readers make sure you keep your tv’s tuned to Sportscenter.  I can see it now.  Stuart Scott dropping a boo-yeah about the Cavs signing Shaquille O’neal.  We will just have to wait and see….

MVPuppets Part 2

So just when I thought Nike was done… Wham they hit me with two more funny ass Kobe & Lebron commercials!!  Although I am very curious to see what they do if Lebron gets eliminated by the Magic??  Calm down Magic fans, we are not going to see a Dwight Howard puppet.  Last time I checked he is with Adidas.  Maybe what they will do is show Lebron moving out and Rashard Lewis moving in?? Oh wait how about Lebron receiving counseling from Charles Barkley??  Oh man that would be awesome!  Well anyways here are the two latest commercials.. Check them out!!!

NBA Conspiracy

254px-NBA_Logo.svgI have to talk about this subject because I am tired of hearing about it!  All that people can talk about here in Orlando is how the NBA officials are trying to cheat Orlando out of the finals.  The buzz here is that it is so blatantly obvious this.. and conspiracy that..  Believe me,  I am a “Witness” to Lebron James getting all the calls.  But if I recall correctly that Orlando is ahead 3-1 in the series.  So what is the big deal?  No matter how many calls Lebron gets doesn’t mean the Cavs will walk away with a W!  If you really have watched the entire playoffs you would notice that the refs are guilty of calling it close to make the playoffs interesting. Plus it is very tough on the refs not to call fouls for Lebron when he touches the ball probably 80-90% of the time.  Does that mean he deserves the call each time?  No.  But he pushes the envelope by taking the ball to the basket.  I am not defending the refs by any means but the Magic make it very difficult for the refs to call fouls for them when they shoot 38 three pointers.  As a Celtics fan living in Orlando, I grow tired of hearing excuses.  I watched the series between Boston and Orlando and was disgusted with the officiating.  But not once did I complain.  Especially when Dwight Howard was lowering his shoulder every time leading to the C’s big men getting in foul trouble.  The Magic beat the Celtics and that is that.  As a person secretly cheering for Orlando, I grow tired of all the complaining.  It isn’t necessary because your team is one win away from the NBA finals.  The officiating is always going to be inconsistent.  The stars will always get the calls.  It is what it is!  I wonder if Denver fans are whining about Kobe getting all the calls??  Oh by the way… Nobody seemed to care when another player who wore #23 got all the calls!!  I wonder why that is??

MVPuppets

As a fan of all things sports, I have been enjoying the NBA playoffs more this year than last.  Even though the NBA finals were kick ass because Boston beat LA.  But that is neither here or there.  The drama associated with this year’s playoffs are enough to make your heart beat right out of your chest.  Thanks to the folks at Nike, they have managed to add a ton of comic relief.  I have been laughing hysterically with the new Kobe and Lebron puppet commercials.  These commercials bring me back to the genius Lil Penny advertisements.  Nike has brought their A+ game with combining these two superstars.  I mean this commercial is Super Bowl worthy and funny.  The first commercial pokes fun at Lebron’s patented pre-game ritual.  There are some other underlying comical jabs that are thrown at the viewer.  Such as Lebron’s high level of excitement to win his first championship, winning his first MVP trophy, and that he is playing near Akron (where he grew up).  In the second commercial, Kobe gets back at Lebron.  Kobe is looking for his 3 championship rings (which by the way he won with the most dominating center in Shaquille O’neal).  Lebron is just trying to mind his own business and play some video games, but Kobe keeps bragging in his ear about having 3 more rings than Lebron.  ”I’m talking about stomach growling!!”  Well for your viewing pleasure, I have included the two MVPuppet’s commercials.  Enjoy!!
