It's been like a lot of days since the betting ref thing and there's absolutely nothing new on the news front. There ain't anything new to say about the crooked zebra, and nothing I can write would be better than this writting from Bill Simmmons, be sure to chech this article too.
USA Basketball have a broadcasted scrimmage yesterday, apparently it was pretty awesome; it was filled with stars and actually everybody played at full throttle, including Lebron. Kobe and Kidd ruled the court showing all the multimillionare kids how it's done, that's not really a shocker, but I liked the "Kidd hint" thrown by Kobe and Lebron to their respective teams and their "anything but happy trigger" GM's
Lebron:
"This is a treat, I don't have that luxury on my team back in Cleveland. It's like a dream of mine."
Kobe:
"It's scary actually, what he sees on the floor. I learned a lot just playing with him and talking with him the last couple days, being that we're the two old dogs on the team -- he's actually the old dog by a long shot,"
Here's a video posted by a Kobe fan
I don't know if I feel worst for Boobie Gibson and Jason Farmar, or for Kupchak and Danny Ferry. Actually, after reading what I just wrote about Boobie Gibson and Jason Farmar... What the hell!!. I might give Boobie some slack, but if we believe the rumors; Lebron should be playing with Bibby and Kobe with Kidd himself. Why this trades didn't happen? Poor GMs? Owners Saving Money? Why people in this game doesn't just roll the dice and see what happen, maybe you get lucky and create a championship team, worst case scenario, your rich boss lost a couple of millions and you team doesn't win the championship, they never do this. EDIT: A'right, they might get fired, but it's all for the good of the sport! :D
The NBA is in the shape that it is no only due to the Artest Melee or whatever stupid act , this is happening beacuse of bad referees (and crooked referees ) and the lack of balls showed by most of the GMs in the league. Both issues are fixable, the officiating took a major hit, but it's still fixable, but it's going to be a long process. The second one, could be faster and it's running in the veins of guys like Sam Presti and John Paxton, young and smart GM's who although their bosses, whoever thery are in Presti case, may no be big spenders, we only can hope this GMs MIGHT give us some hope, so far they have been doing a more than decent job.
I think I haven't write anything about the Marbury to Venice story, I didn't gave it too much relevance, because he's STARBURY the best point guard in the game, he can play in Pluto with Kobe if he wants (SARCASM SARCASM I cannot stress how much SARCASM you must read here!), but the friends at KnicksClicks are pretty shocked by the Italians sweeping their point guard of his feet, and this post of YAYSports is one of the funniest thing I have ever seen (Hail to the YAY!)
