Is Wally World shutting down?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:06:13 -0500

(NSFW language in video)

It looks like Wally Szczerbiak's career might be over.

The unsigned Szczerbiak told The Post yesterday he underwent knee surgery three weeks ago at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan and is seriously considering retiring in the coming weeks.

The surgeons have told the Cold Spring Harbor product another knee injury could affect his ability to lead a normal life because he lacks enough cartilage in the knee after three surgeries

Wally was a pretty good scorer who could never stay healthy. It's actually kind of a shame because there's no doubt he could have been a really good player. He averaged 14 points a game over a 10 year career which was slowed by injuries. If he was healthy, he could have easily tacked a few more points on that average.

Happy trails, Wally.

Shaquille O’Neal as The Big Poker Hand

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:09 -0500

The Cavaliers did it. They pulled the trigger. Unlike last season where they went into it hoping to be able to unload Wally Szczerbiak’s expiring deal, they didn’t allow the temptation of standing pat to even enter their brain. And now for the small price of Ben Wallace’s creaky body and Sasha Pavlovic’s incessant inconsistency [...]

Shaq Deal Too Little Too Late?

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:00:52 -0500

The Cavaliers will forever sit and look at the expiring numbers on Wally Szczerbiak’s contract as a missed opportunity. Citing chemistry and a lack of availability of desirable players, the Cavaliers let the trade deadline slip away. One of the most talked about expiring contract in the history of the game and nothing seemed to [...]

The Official BlackSportsOnline NBA MVP: Lebron James

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:19:04 -0500

"If rap was a game I'll be MVP, the most valuable poet on the M.I.C." Big L "MVP" Doesn't matter if it is the rap game or the sports game debate over who is the true MVP will always cause controversy. If you have been following me on Twitter you should know how hotly the NBA MVP topic has been debated (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline). The reason being everyone's definition of Most Valuable Player is a little different. Of course the only person's opinion that should matter is mine. Why you ask? Because I am a BonaFide Sports Expert and I only speak the truth. So without further ado here is my 2008-09 NBA MVP: 1- Lebron James 28.4 7.6 7.4 48.9% The King is the only person in the league who I believe is capable of averaging a triple double, but 28 7 7 while shooting almost 50% from the field is pretty impressive. Add on he has led his team to the best record in the league, has improved his defense tremendously & has developed not quite a "serial killer" a mentality, but at least an "assault with a deadly weapon" mentally it all adds up in my mind to what should be an unanimous selection for MVP. Also I want to point out to the D Wade supporters who say that Lebron has the far superior team to the Heat. While I agree that the Cavs are better than the Heat, we aren't talking about the 86 Celtics here. You are talking about a team that gives quality minutes to Wally Szczerbiak for goodness sake. Lebron has taken a team filled with B- and C level players and led them to 65+ wins. Considering they will have more wins this year than the Celtics had last year with three hall of fame caliber players on their roster tells me all I need to know about The King. That is why he is my MVP. *Sidenote* Lebron gets a bonus MVP vote from me for helping me come up with the phrases "Pimp Focus" & "Reject Bench". If you don't know what that means Google it and you will see what I am talking about. 2- Dwyane Wade 30.2 7.5 4.6 49.1 Here is all you need to know about D Wade:

Wally For Brad Miller? Another Bizarre Trade Rumor

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:00:39 -0500

Perhaps I am just overestimating the worth of $13 million of salary cap relief. Especially in this day, when everyone is trying to clear as much space for 2010 as they can, you?d think $13 million was a valuable piece of trade bait. So far, though, the rumors for Wally Szczerbiak and his now ...

Trade Bait?

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:03:41 -0500

The Cavaliers look to improve on the league's best home record tonight against the Golden State Warriors. Since dropping 2 of their first 3 games (on the road at Boston and New Orleans) the only blemish on the Cavs 12-3 record is a loss to the Pistons in Detroit last week. Since that loss the [...]
