Buyers Remorse For Wizards With Nene
Two seasons ago, the Washington Wizards made a move for trade for a big man to help the team out both then and in the future. Nene Hilario (now just known as Nene), is making $13M per year for the next three seasons, and the Wizards probably wish that they had saved that money so they could have spent it elsewhere.
OOH OH MY!

Does John Wall have the ability to turn the Wizards season around?
GIF by Truth About It I remember the feeling the day of the lottery, it was May 18th 2010 and the Washington Wizards won one of the biggest prizes in sports, the #1 pick in the NBA lottery. I sat in my chair with an enormous smile on my face; it was a no-brainer the Wizards were going to get John Wall. The Wizards were going to begin the process of being relevant again. The media...

Brazil-Great Britain Preview

It´s Ne-nay, not Nay-nay
You can take this from a reliable source, my wife is Brazilian, my son is Brazilian, my daughter is Brazilian. True story. Nene in Portuguese means baby. It´s also pronounced Ne-nay, not Nay-nay. Those of you mispronouncing it, please stop, it´s embarrassing. I even hear TV announcers saying nay-nay. How does Nene translate to nay-nay? It doesn´t even make sense. I´ll ignore...

Nene to stay in Denver
Nene Hilario has signed a five-year, $67-million dollar deal to stay with the Denver Nuggets.
While we expected Nene to remain a solid big man in fantasy this season, his staying in Denver is a plus. It was clear that he was being pursued heavily by the New Jersey Nets, but apparently the lure of a fifth year in his contract was one of the key factors that sealed the deal for him...
