After putting some serious thought into this over the past couple of days, I have put together what I feel would be the NBA Dream Team. I also have come up with the list of player that are already in the NBA and the Players in the draft that I would draft to Start my team and rebuild my team.
1st team
F. Kevin Garrett F. Lebron James C. Shaq Oneal G. Kobe Bryant G. Chris Paul
NBA Upcoming Players
F. Michael Beasley F. Brandon Rush C. Kevin Love G. OJ Mayo G. Derrick Rose
NBA Team I would like to see
F. Lebron James F. Michael Beasley C. Shaq Oneal G. Kobe Bryant G. Deron Williams
I heard on Espn Radio over the weekend that Kobe Bryant won the MVP or as the Chicago Bulls Super Fans called it in the 90's the Michael Vice President. What did Kobe do that Lebron James, Kevin Garrett, or even Chris Paul did not do? Kobe is on a team that has great roll players, Chris Paul has a good cast and so does Kevin Garrett. But who other than Lebron James do the Cleveland Cav's have? If you took Lebron off of the Cav's they are not a playoff team. If you took Kobe off the Lakers they could still be a playoff team. So in my mind I do not feel that he deserves it.
I would like to know what everyone out there thinks?
As I was going through the sports news yesterday, I came across a poll at ESPN.com of the NBA Greatest Shooting Guards of all time. I would have to agree with the number one over all, I have some real arguments about the number 2. Here is the list of the top ten
10. Joe Dumars 9. Earl Monroe 8. "Pistol" Pete maravich 7. Reggie Miller 6. Clyde Drexler 5. Allen Iverson 4. George Gervin 3. Jerry West 2. Kobe Bryant 1. Michael Jordan
How can Kobe Byryant be rated number 2 and Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler. I do not feel Kobe belongs in the top ten. Any one else out there that have any thoughts on this?
Dwight Howard flew through the air with the greatest of ease
Sunday, February 17, 2008
Dwight Howard pulls out the Vitage Michael Jordan from the Free Throw line dunk to win the slam dunk contest. When did this turn into a fashion show? All the big names do not dunk anymore. I feel this is not even a contest it is an lets show what we can do. My Question is how would the players of today fend against the Great Dunkers of the Past? What if they made something out of the Dunk Conest? I would love to see the likes of Lebron James, Kobe Byrant, Vince Carter, now that would be something to watch. It would also draw up the rating for the NBA All Star Weekend. What does everyone else think?
"I would certainly listen [to trade offers for Kobe]. At any time, I think you have to do that with anybody. It's just part of the game ... You can't keep too many loyalties. You've got to look at it as a business. He looks at it the same way I look at it."
-- Lakers owner Jerry Buss
After reading this quote I think that it is really interesting that owner Jerry Bus would consider trading his top player. I think he is absolutely crazy. Kobe is considered one of the greatest players of all time, and they would consider trading him. When the Lakers had Magic Johnson was there any talk of trading him? I think not. I am not a big Kobe Fan, but I think that the Lakers have a good young team to work with and need Kobe if they ever want to win another Championship in the next 10 years. I understand that it is business, but what if Jerry Krause would of said that he would listen to trades for Micheal Jordan? I would think the whole league would of put out a proposal to get MJ.
What kind of deal has Jerry Buss listen too? What would you accept as a good offer for a player of Kobe's Caliber?
