Is Steve Nash UnCanadian?
Steve Nash recently stated that he will not play for Team Canada this summer, even if they manage to qualify for the Olympics without him. Not only is this a slap in the face to Canadian fans everywhere, but it’s also a slap to his own reputation.

Late in the Lakers 19-point loss against Boston on December 30, Lamar Odom was angry. He was not only pissed off at the fact that he had to wear short-shorts for the entire first half, but he outraged over the fact that he’s had a disappointing basketball career due to nagging injuries.

Oden's Big, Bad Problem
Late last week, Jason Quick of the Oregonian put together a story entitled “Big, bad Oden.” In this article, Quick reported that Greg Oden had put on 30 pounds of muscle! Thirty pounds! Message board postings were filled with skepticism regarding the added muscle and I personally also rec
