I caught this amazing battle in the NY Post this morning. The WWE has booked Monday Night Raw in the Pepsi Center next Monday night – the same night that the Nuggets are supposed to host the Lakers for Game 4. Of course Vince McMahon isn’t giving up the date easily. Check out Vince’s quote:
“Even though the Denver Nuggets had a strong team this year and were projected to make the playoffs, obviously Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke did not have enough faith in his own team to hold the date for a potential playoff game.”
Let’s settle it in the ring. Who should represent the Nuggets and who should represent the WWE? Tell me you wouldn’t pay money for a Batista vs. Kenyon steel cage match?
It was easy to acceptMark Jackson‘s assertion that Pau Gasol is the “best second-best player” in the League during last night’s game seven. He spent a good chunk of his career as the best player on the Grizzlies. And now that he’s on a team with a clear-cut No. 1 (Kobe), it makes sense to say that he’s the best of the rest. However, there are a bunch of guys who have always been around other talent, who also deserve consideration as the “best second-best player” in the League.

On any given Sunday, you can play ball. But how often can you say you’re playing for $20,000? Yesterday 13 teams from across the country ascended upon Jose Marti’s dope gymnasium in Miami to do just that. If Saturday was Blood, Sweat & Tears, yesterday was The War of the Worlds. Read More »
It’s strange how things worked out for Ron Artest, with him standing in the exact place everyone — and yet no one — expected him to be at the end of the 2009 season.
Usually when one party in a dispute apologizes in a really public forum, everything dies down. But Kenyon Martin isn’t about to let Mark Cuban off the hook. Instead of coming to Martin in person, Cuban posted an apology on his blog. That’s a great way to get the message out to everyone who watches NBA games, but for those who actually play in them, perhaps the face-to-face apology is a better idea.

While I don’t think Pau Gasol is in danger of ending up on this list any time soon, I do think he’s probably more of a gamer and a little bit tougher than most people would expect. And he doesn’t seem the least bit worried about dealing with Kenyon Martin and his tactics in the Western Conference Finals.
The media was ready with Kenyon questions for Pau after yesterday’s Game 7 victory. From the L.A. Times:

In the event that the basketball gods smile upon the Knicks when the NBA Draft Lottery rolls around on Tuesday and they land the No. 1 overall pick, they plan on blowing that golden opportunity. Right now, they reportedly prefer Spanish PG Ricky Rubio at No. 1 over OU’s terminator Blake Griffin. No matter what people say about the mediocre track record of big men taken at the top of the draft board, make no mistake about Griffin – he’s going to be an all-star multiple times over.

Keenan Thompson isn’t the greatest Charles Barkley, but any time there’s a mention of the McRib sandwich, it’s worth checking out. Plus, they’re spot-on ripping on TNT’s promos. But unlike Chuck I’d go with “Courting Rachel” before watching “Mark” or “Jeff”.
Sure Kobe might be the more compelling personality, but imagine if Spike Lee adapted the concept behind Kobe Doin’ Work for tonight’s Game 7 and applied it to Pau Gasol. There’d be 30 camera angles on his salty pout face and his awkward neck beard. But there’d also be a million different ways to watch him make Houston pay for their size disadvantage for the first time since Yao went down. Read More »
