Was LeBron James' Move Hypocritical?

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:18:35 -0500

Please note that this post is not aimed to stir the pot as much as to get a gauge for what the consensus feeling is regarding LeBron James and his presidential campaign support. We all know that Michael Jordan refused to support one party or another, claiming that both parties by shoes. A cop-out, sure. But one that could have cost Jordan a few dollars in the Nike column.

Shabbat Shalom: Memorial Day Weekend Wrap-Up

Sun, 25 May 2008 16:33:22 -0500

Brand new layout to be released at some point tomorrow. Do not mind any site errors while I attempt to make the switch. Interview with BJ Armstrong, former NBA Champion and current NBPA agent at WMG scheduled to be posted first thing Tuesday morning. I returned from Israel after eleven full days and nights in the Holy Land. I probably received a total of thirty hours of sleep or less throughout the entire trip. Catching up on sleep, going through over three hundred new emails, reading over 1,000 recent sports clippings that I missed, talking to clients, etc have made my return quite interesting. Things are almost back to normal, but then again, when is my life ever normal? The MLB Amateur Draft is approaching. We look to make a small splash with that event.

[Sports and the Law: The Summer Associate Experience]. * Jason Giambi wears a gold lam

Why Give Mike Brown An Extension?

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:00:39 -0500

Maybe I overstate the negatives, but I can't help but feel like this team would do better with someone who was a complete master of the game. At this rate and with the numbered problems above, I still view Mike Brown as a defensive specialist who hasn't figured out his weaknesses and how, as leader of the team in the East with arguably the most talented player in the NBA, to overcome those weaknesses.
