With each passing day, the 21-year-old from Akron, Ohio, Lebron James continues get thrive against some of the best competition in the NBA. He displayed an impressive performance last night against the Bobcats, scoring 30 points while adding 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals. Coming off a 44-point outburst against Phoenix on Sunday Lebron is red hot now. He looks to make his second apperance in the upcoming All-Star game. Already he's declined to participate in the Slam Dunk contest in February.
Everyone may be thinking about Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, and Steve Nash as true candidates for MVP, but when at the end of the season Lebron James will shine as the brightest star in the league, proving his significant value to the Cavailers. Without him Cleveland doesn't stand a chance of entering the playoffs. Lebron averages 31.2 ppg while working toward obtaining triple-doubles. The great thing about this superstar is he's not selfish. He likes to get his teammates involved and feed off their strengths. I said it from the start, Lebron James is the real deal.
The Cavailers are second (26-17) in the Central division, trailing the Pistons by 12 games. They can credit their first half success to Lebron. With him and Big Z leading the way the Cavs will be a force to compete with in the Eastern Conference coming down the stretch. If a healthy Larry Hughes returns from injury it could give the team an extra edge. Keep up the sterling performances King James. Go Cavs!

Virginia Tech challenges Duke for 1st ACC win
The Hokies men's basketball team is on the rise. They've, however seen their share of missed opportunities so far this season. 0-5 in the ACC, they battle for their first conference win against Duke tonight at home. Lead by SG Zabian Dowdell (15.2 ppg) and G Jamon Gordon VT hopes to make it 2 straight losses for the Blue Devils who are coming off a upset from Georgetown. They will have to hold off the sweet-shooting of J.J Redick (scored 41 points at Georgetown on Saturday) and contain the physical offense and defensive prowess of F/C Shelden Williams.
Duke will look to push over a big lead early and rely on their strengths in the backcourt. With this standing they'll run the clock down and make the most of their key possessions by taking smart shots. If Redick gets left open, VT is going to get burned. They better stick the senior with pressure every chance they get unless he has an off night, which I doubt will happen. On the flip side, Duke better pay attention to F Coleman Collins (17.1 ppg) in the paint as well as Deron Washington. These two play with a lot of energy and can ignite a rally and cause a crowd eruption.
Anything is possible this year in the ACC. No team is unbeatable. The Hokies came so close back in December to beating Duke. If it wasn't for senior Sean Dockery's three-pointer with less than two seconds left they would have. VT wants redemption tonight, using whatever measures necessary to pull off a victory. Coach Seth Greenberg will for sure be on the sidelines ranting and raving, finding a way to motivate his team.

College Players' Ineligibility
What should the age limit be for a student-athlete be to play for a college or university team? This is a long debated issue that still may fairness to the majority, but perhaps not for the minority. Those who transfer to 4-year colleges after completing 2 years or more of education at another institution are usually not effected by the rule for college sports. The problem, however for older candidates who have pursued to further their education a few years later after graduating high school or receiving an associates degree at a community college is they don't meet the guidelines of eligibility.
A student's academics conflict with their right to be considered active as a player. I think it's kind of pointless for suspended or ineligible college players to participate in team practices, but not in games. This isn't fun for them. They have to look on from the sidelines later and wish they could be joining their teammates in games. The NCAA seems clearly set on their limitations for student-athletes. I'd actually like to guys 24-26 be able to play on teams. Sure it sounds like a competitive advantage for certain teams, but this would also widen the scope of college basketball. By having older players there'd be a sense of diversity and added bonus for teams. Another talented player would be available to come off the bench and fill quality minutes.
When a player breaks the law, violates school code, gets arrested, or does something stupid, no doubt they should be put on probation or even banned depending how severe their actions are. On the other side of the coin, refusing to allow walk-ons or transfer students considered to be juniors and seniors to participate in regular sports functions is unjustified and overlooks contributing qualities to a sports program. The rules over time, given such considerations should be changed.

"Glory Road"
The new movie out, "Glory Road, about an southern basketball team in the 1960's with the first all-black starting lineup really brings things into perspective in modern times. Today, student-athletes have too many luxuries like wearing expensive tennis shoes rather than worn-out second hand sneakers that always smell of another person's feet. They also receive extra incentives such as stipends for signing on to play basketball for a university (Yeah, like $500 "walking around" money for the week and other secret gifts). The movie goes to show just how much times have changed.
It used to be if college athletes cursed out an authority figure or caused disruption on campus (protest or assembly) they'd get in big trouble, now players are found guilty of sexual abuse, drug use, illegal possession of firearms, and murder. Quite a stretch from the 60's, huh? I have yet to see "Glory Road", but I know it focuses on a team breaking the color barrier and starting a trend in college sports, to pave the way for all black athletes to play organized ball. The story relives an event that touches close to home with many people who lived in that era.
A tradition of white supremacy was broken in a time period where schools remained segregated. The competition of not only basketball, but all sports expanded shortly later. "Glory Road" reflects on how having talent and desire can overcome the rules of a society. No can stand in a person's way if they believe in themselves and pursue their dreams. I can't wait to see this movie, it's sure to be a real classic.

Can't we all just get along?
Right when you think all is well in the NBA another ugly incident breaks out. It's safe to say this one was minor compared to those in past year. During the Bulls, Knicks game Thursday in Chicago the Knicks' Antonio Davis went into the stands to check on his wife. He claims that he saw her near a fan, "falling back." He thought this fan was harrassing her. His actions were reasoned that he was trying to protect her. That was true, but the NBA didn't agree with the decision, slapping Davis with a 5 game suspension.
Witnesses at the game claim that Kendra Davis, Antonio's wife was seen hitting a male fan for protesting a call and booing the Knicks. No defense or retailation ensued from the fan. There was no altercation between Davis and the man who was struck. Security guards escorted the parties involved out of the building. Davis was of course ejected. The fan, however was later released and allowed to return to the game in the United Center in time to see the end of the game. The Bulls' Ben Gordon sunk the game-winning shot.
The league understood the situation involved with Davis and therefore softened the penalty for player misconduct. The Vice President and Commissioner still felt it's absolutely unnecessary for players to charge into the stands and interfere with any fans for whatever reason. Such actions won't be tolerated and adequate punishment is in order. As a decent human being and fan though you can't blame Antonio Davis for his decision. Anybody who cares about a family member would have done the same thing. Players, players' wives, and fans need to co-exist in a fun, lively environment without taking gestures or comments too personal. Doing so would make the pro basketball experience much more enjoyable for everyone.

The evolution of skinny, extra tall centers in basketball
Before there was Yao Ming and Shawn Bradley other big men roamed the court in the NBA with a notable sense of overwhelming nature. Their height was too much for others to handle at first. These players weren't accustomed to being presented with fat checks or finding the right sizes for clothes. All they wanted was to be part of the game and win. I'm talking about the giants of yesterday like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Manute Bol, George Murasean,and some Russian dude.
The aforementioned players were known for being larger than the game itself and having a difficult time finding a comfortable seat anywhere. They graced the game with a jolliness only the Green Giant displayed. Their active participation resolutinized basketball. Because of their presence the goals had to raised 2 feet and prevented many teams from executing low-post offensive attacks. Their heads just got in the way too much. Alright...the baskets were probably raised for another reason, but the 7 plus footers blocked the view of the rim and succeeded in shutting down inside scoring opportunities.
One thing can be said about all these extra tall centers, they didn't even need to jump to dunk a basketball. Besides that when these athletes played defense it's as if they resembled Godzilla by always swatting at the ball with their long arms. Players like Yao Ming better enjoy their career in the pros and relish the greatest moments because let's face it they're not cut out to do much else. A glass window cleaner maybe, but a FBI Agent or Air Pilot is out of the question. The extra tall big men of today maybe can start a new legacy or era that will be talked about for generations.

UVA outduels VT in ACC play
Sunday afternoon it was a cold, breezy day outside the confines of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. Inside the gym the temperature got scorching hot in a hurry. It was a battle of two state rival teams that wanted to knock off each other by any means necessary. A few technical fouls came into play during the course of the action. Despite a low scoring affair from both sides the tension and hungry for victory was relentless.
The Cavs took to their style of play, shooting from the perimeter and the outside. Guards Sean Singletary (16 points, 6 assists) and J.R. Reynolds (16 points) finished with a good performance. They lead UVA to 54-49 win and help UVA improve to 8-6 overall. Virginia Tech dropped to 10-7. The fans really got into this game, yelling and screaming at the refs for making a slew of bad calls, in their view. The moment of intensity came when VT's Coleman Collins went up for a dunk, hung on the rim, and popped the ball up and out of the net. The officials reversed the call, waving off the basket. This didn't go over well with the Hokie crowd at all. They began throwing trash on the court and booing.
VT's Coach, Seth Greenberg was running wild with emotions all day: he was frustrated, excited, content, incensed, and apalled. Then his moment came like a fury of heat after the PA announcer warned the fans not to throw any more trash on the court. Greenberg then hastily grabbed the microphone and yelled throughout the packed auditorium,"I'm sick of this f--king non-officating crap. Damn it! We're here to win a basketball game. Who's ass do I have to kick around here to get some fair calls our way for God sakes?!!"
Okay, he really didn't say those words, but what a way to have ended a college basketball game. If that did happen he would have been ejected and probably arrested. What he did shout was that his team was going to play as hard as they could to win. Less dramatic yes, but still effective as a motivator. This was the first time I've ever known a Coach to get on a live microphone during a game. So kudos to Seth Greenberg. He's got more than just heart. Tough loss for the resurgent Hokies, but they'll rebound. The two Virginia teams will meet again later in the season at University Hall in Charlottesville.

Rough housing on the court
Ray Allen and Kenyon Dooling had several heated physical exchanges on the court Wednesday night. The two players were ejected from the game in the first quarter for fighting. After a cheat shot from the Orlando Magic's Dooling there was swift retaliation from Allen. The combatants pushed and struck one another while running down the court. Eventually they both hit the deck after Dooling shoved down Allen. Then in an outburst of self-defense and anger the Seattle shooting guard tackled his counterpart, both landing into the first row of seats.
It was quite an ugly scene, but what happened could have been so much worse. It wasn't close to a replay of the Pacers-Pistons brawl last year which was a positive. The players will serve suspensions to be determined later. Supersonics Coach Bob Hill stated his case to the refs after Allen's ejection, claiming he was just defending himself and was provoked. Fighting will always result in more than 1 person being penalized, no matter who started it. Afterwards both players regreted their actions that lead to the incident.
Why can't professional athletes get along anymore? There is always an argument or descrepancy over minor things. There are big egos that get in the way and pride that is one line. The scuffles can be avoided if players were level-headed and respect one another. Letting their emotions get the best of them leads to defeat and embarrassment. Keyon Dooling and Ray Allen are usually good-natured players who are solid contributors to their teams. One or the another may of just been having a bad night to start with. If there are no other major altercations in the NBA this year it will be a good sign. However, don't hold your breath!

Lebron James, the future of the NBA
The years of Bird, Magic, and Jordan are distant memories, though cherished ones. Taking flight into a new generation of basketball is Cleveland Cavailers superstar Lebron James. He's the hottest player in the league, positioning his team in second place in the Central division of the Eastern conference. With a backup of swing-shooting guards like Larry Huges and Damon Jones plus a reliable scoring big man in Zydrunas Ilgauskas, James has enough help to do more than keep the Cavs afloat.
His numbers are impressive, 30.6 ppg, 5.8 apg, and 1.8 spg. With a 20-11 record King James will continue pursuit for the Cavs to rise from their miniscule previous seasons and lackluster performances. It's a sure bet he will insure a playoff spot for his team. The caliber of players he collaborates efforts with seems to make things click. This means Lebron doesn't have to score 30 points or more every night for his team to win. If anything he has ample opportunities to set up his teammates and collect more assists per game.
As one of the most popular and best all-around players today, James has become the poster child for the NBA. His world-wide appeal, performance and demeanor on the court also make him a good role model. Kids are in awe of his talents. They want to be like him. Oh my, could he be better than guess who...Jordan? That will be discovered later on down the road. What's important now for Lebron is to caltpult Cleveland to the top. Give him time, he's working on it. King James will rule in 2006.

Tarheels sparkle in first ACC conference game
Saturday afternoon the confines of Chapel Hill were ripping and roaring as usual. Fans had an extra incentive to cheer for the home team. With their opening ACC matchup against rivals NC state the Heels were ready for action. As a underrated team, ranked 25th in the country they proved to be potent and hang with the Wolfpack (#13th), winning 82-69. This should give UNC a head of steam moving into conference play.
The freshmen had a big day. F Tyler Hansborough scored 20 points (14-14 FT) while G Bobby Frasor chipped in with 17 points. On a 13-0 run within the final 2:30 to go the Tarheels seized command from NC State's missed scoring opportunities. Senior David Noel looks to be stepping up as a team leader. His influence will be a great motivator for the rest of the team this season. He's got great athletic ability, a good all-around player and knows how to get others involved.
UNC improves to 9-2 overall and 1-0 in the ACC. They have started off well, but they've got their battles ahead as they face Boston College, Virginia, and Duke. On Tuesday they'll meet Virginia Tech on the road. Coach Roy Williams will try to continue his instrumental role of motivation and discipline. His active participation in games is essential for UNC's future success. Go Heels!

A look back at 2005
2005 had it's moments from start to finish. Controversy and surprise swept the sports world. The following events were more than enough to digest: the U.S. Senate steriods debate, the Rafael Palmerio steriods scandal, the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl, Ryno-Boggs Hall of Fame induction, UNC winning the NCAA championship, the collaspe of the Evil Empire(George Steinbreiner was on the verge of shitting himself due to his Yankees mediocre performance early in the season), a fan leaping from the upper deck at Yankee Stadium to grab a foul ball, and the whole Barry Bonds w/injury excuse lashing out at the media(More like whining and worrying about the public finding out he's used steroids).
What a year it was throughout the low and high points. The best highlight for Chicago fans was the WhiteSox winning the World Series. The franchise ended over a 70 year drought, many witnessing a miracle season and a day they thought they'd never live to see. (Not for this Chicago fan...that's right another miserable season for the Cubs. What does this prolonged losing spell make 90 YEARS IN A ROW?!! Got to think positive though, if I live to be 95-100 I might get to witness a historical gem of a World Series OR the Cubs losing again).
The worst part of '05 for baseball was Rafael Palmerio lying to a grand jury and shaming himself. This was once a well respected top notch 3,000 hit member who claimed not to have known he digested illegal substances (I guess the same goes for him not remembering being stuck in the butt with a syringe. Come on Palmerio, how dumb do you think the public is?). Also to hurt the sport of baseball other idiots joined in the steroids parade such less popular players like Alex Cora and Ryan Anderson. I think Dodger and Royals fans, however were kinda wishing that guys on their teams would take steroids so they'd have a chance in hell of winning.
There were many memorable moments. Whether your favorite team failed or succeeded whenever feeling down in the dumps you could always find a misfit jock to poke fun of with everyone else. People can rest assure now that 2005 is over that Shaq still hates Kobe, player salaries will continue to rise, and that the bird flu didn't kill off the best sports stars. Bidding farewell to 2005 and crossing my fingers that 2006 won't be a total disaster.
