Romeo

He is a proud father's dream. He did a song "I want to be like you" in which he was referring to his father Master P. He is attending USC (University of Southern California) where he plays basketball. His dad wanted to play in the NBA but did not accomplished that......I guess he will be fulfilling that for his dad. He (Master P) did however had contracts with Charlotte Hornets (currently New Orleans Hornets) 1998/1999 season and Toronto Raptors 1999 pre-season. He also played in Continental Basketball Association (CBC). Master P is an Entertainer and Entrepreneur and he is also the founder and CEO of P. Miller Enterprises . Okay, back to Lil' Romeo ......he not only play basketball like his dad , but he is also an Entertainer and CEO of P. Miller Clothing Line. He is the nephew of C-Murder and Silk the Shocker and his clothes line made over US$50m in the first year he has 5 Albums , been in 10 movies, star in the sitcom Romeo and he is only 18 (19 next month). He also beat Micheal Jackson to become the youngest person to record a #1. Yeah, sure being the son of Master P helps but is he talented or what. I think he will be heading to the NBA no doubt . He played basketball for Beverly Hills High School where he was a 4 yrs starter and during the 2006-2007 high school season he averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists per game. I have never seen him play but I guess he must be pretty good to have been invited to the ABCD Camp. For those of you who don't know what the ABCD Camp is, it is an invitational only camp to showcase basketball based in New Jersey. Players like Kobe Byrant, Lebron James, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony have been previous attendees. I will just to see how far he will go in basketball, if he will surpass his father.

New York Knicks

Can they get better? I don't know. One of the league's hottest team in the early years and 1 of 2 teams still in their original cities (Boston being the Second). They made it to the Finals 3 times in the 1950's, won the Title 2 times in the 70's and try for the Title 2 times in the 90's, now they are lucky if they get to the Playoffs......what a shame. Last season they were 23-59 well that was better than Miami who was the 2006 Champion (15-67).

Now that they have Elton Brand will that be enough to revive one of the oldest teams in the NBA. I don't think so, but I will be watching to see what happens......no doubt.

Reggae Boyz

1998 we made it to the World Cup for the first time in history, wow. I never knew much about football(soccer) at the time, I didn't even knew we had a football team....how sick is that. With fresh talent and the help of Reno Simoes we made it. The Boyz did not go all the way but I was so proud of them, you know they took us to a place we have never been and all Jamaica was with them. But the JFF did not see it that way they fired Simoes. Well, disaster shook in 2002, the Boyz were playing for international clubs and making money and the chemistry and eagerness to win was not there and we didn't even come close. Same saga in 2006.

Rene Simoes is back for 2010 and he did what he did for 1998 get some fresh meat. I hope they can fine the chemistry and bring us back to the World Cup.

Jermaine O'neal - Traded

Toronto Raptors get some fire power with Jermaine O'neal. He was the back bone for Indiana Pacers after Reggie Miller, he lead them in most blocked shots in a game 10 vs the Raptors, most blocked shots in a season 228 (2000 -01), most rebounds a game, playoffs 22, Highest rebounding average, playoff series 17.5 and most free throws attempted, game 25. He is 6 times All-star and Most Improved Player in 2002. He is also the only player to score a triple-double including block shot, he had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocked shots vs the Raptors (he was the second Pacers player to do so and the first in the NBA). He is a very talented and under-rated player. Sure he is no Shaquille O'neal or Tim Duncan, but very valuable to any team. He can score at will, beat off the dribble, pass, and he is an excellent post up player. Combine his agility to that of Chris Bosh Toronto will be a force to reckon with in the low post area. If he and Chris Bosh stay healthy then Toronto stand a chance in the playoffs. Now, I am not talking about winning the Championship (anything is possible), but they will have Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, etc to reckon with. And i have a feeling that Miami will be back next season with D. Wade healthy and all. I guess we will have to wait and see. I should have him in my hot boyz list, but oh well he is hot.
