I am really interested in watching team USA in the FIBA world championships.

Those will be some great games, I wonder how they will do.

They shouldn’t have cut Gerald Wallace; arguably the best rebounder and defender on the team.

Very interesting to see Charley Rosen

compare MJ and Kobe’s basketball years in the league and try to predict as best as he can that Kobe might not have much in the tank. Interesting but I dont buy it. Kobe has a lot left in him.

"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning.

Yeah Charley Rosen, wtf was that article?

Facts pulled out of air = prediction that Kobe will not score 20+ points a game in… 8 years? Okay… what’s the point of your made-up, pseudo analysis?

His super-macho ego dictated that he challenge even the biggest bigs by stubbornly driving the ball into the paint no matter what physical abuse awaited him there.

Super-macho ego? Heh, Wow. Thought this was about Lebron all of a sudden…

Rosen's analysis is largely full of crap

Unless he’s focusing on very, very specific Xs and Os.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Just sharing. I’m kinda interested where is he going to sign.

If I was Laker player and they signed him I would never let my mom come to any games. ; )

What a fool

Did all of Cleveland sleep with his mom or something? The amount of disrespect he has shown Cleveland, when all they did was love him, is amazing. He’s spitting in their faces for no reason. Unless he’s purposely playing the heel, this makes no sense.

Wow, Shaq is really gonna be a Celtic...

- Props to @SherrodbCSN in Boston for being first: Cs are indeed “close,” according to league source, to signing Shaq. Story soon on NBA.com.
- Center Shaquille O’Neal is “close” to signing with the Celtics, according to a source. Comcast Sports New England first broke the story.
-Comcast Boston reports Celtics close to a contract with Shaq. According to sources, #Cavs are not involved in sign-and-trade talks w/Celtics
- So if Shaq goes to Boston, it is likely going to be on a veteran’s minimum contract of $1.4 million.

Here’s some links: NBA.com / CSN

Poor Shaq

He is one of the very very few players who I have hated, loved, and hated but still enjoyed watching. That is saying something about the man though. He is pure entertainment which is basically why we watch the game.

The entertainment is great as long as you are winning titles but other than that

the sideline antics and joking around really are meaningless if your team doesnt win a title. Just ask Lebron.
