Stephon Marbury Released

The New York Knicks and Stephon Marbury came to a buyout agreement. Well, it's about time. I know Stephon have issues with following instructions and all, but to have the guy sitting and not playing is just down right stupid. Coach Mike D'Antoni never did like him from when he played for him in Phoenix, so when he took over the Knicks he sidelined Stephon and said that there is not space for him on the team. The players did not like him either and they refuse to play with him. Stephon's a good player....so don't get me wrong. He is a 12 years veteran and was averaging 19.7 points, 7.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and he is also 2 times All-star. He is the kinda guy who shows up to play every night and can hold his own on the court. But as I said he has issues, not the Allen Iverson, Rasheed Wallace or Ron Artest anger issues....at least their teammates will play with them. Anyways since the buyout took place before March 1 he is free to sign with any team that will sign him. Boston had their sights set on him maybe now they can go at him. I just hope teams like Cleveland, Los Angeles, Lakers and Orlando don't sign him. Cause they have the whole team chemistry lock and seeing how chemistry don't bud well with Stephon he just ruin them. He can play and he is very good Point Guard who can make shots for others and himself. He will be a good addition to any team play wise that is. Maybe he's change you know....I hope.

Delonte Makes is Return Known

Cleveland Cavalier Guard Delonte West was back in action on Sunday as the Cavs bomb rushed the Detroit Pistons in 99-78 victory. The Cavs had a 33 points lead at the end of the first half....talk about outscored, and not even the great Allen Iverson or Rasheed Wallace could stop them. West who broked his right wrist in a collision with Chicago Bulls Guard Derrick Rose on January 15 came back like he was never out. He was 8-11 from the field and 5-5 from the 3 point line and he ended with 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in his return to the line-up. Boy, was he awesome and with the Cavs healthier than ever who knows how far they can. Delonte West was part of the big trade the Cavs made to surround Lebron James with enough fire power to win a Championship. With West back in the line-up it gives opponents one more sharp shooter to worry about. Last night the Cavs look like the Cavs earlier in the season when they were just blowing by everybody. The Cavs are on their way to a Championship.....we'll just have to wait and see what Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have to say about it. Everybody knows I am a East fan the only teams in the East that I really don't ever cheer for is the Pistons and the Celtics. While on the Westside I prefer Lakers, Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets, and the Rockets(mainly because they have Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and Ron Artest). So I lean more to the East. I want Lakers and Cavaliers to meet in the Finals and we will see who is better Kobe or Lebron....or maybe see who have the better supporting cast....cause you they know they can't win without them. I am just happy Delonte West is back...he is one of those underrated, least talk about players who can hold his own on the court and make players like Lebron James look good. West's got game and I love the way he plays. I still think that Kobe is better than Lebron....so not because I am a Cavaliers fan that's gonna change....come to think about it I am a bigger fan of the Cavs than I am of the Lakers....mmmm....but I am a bigger fan of Kobe than I am of Lebron....talk about confuse....ahhhhh. Anyways, all I am saying is that watching Kobe and Lebron is like watch Magic Johnson and Larry Bird or Micheal Jordan and Karl Malone. I love them both....I also love Carmelo, Wade, Shaq, Duncan, Dwight, JO, etc....ok now I am confuse....they are all so great it hard to just love one.

Vacation Over.....Back To The Stress

I just got got from my vacation. It wasn't bad, household chores, a son who has more energy than the energizer bunny, and errands. I got a lot of sleep though, which was what I wanted.

Well I am back at work and it's worst than when I left. Obama said that chance will come, but no so. Mercy man, chances in the middle of a work. Any chances that will affect an agents pay should not be implemented until the start of a new week. That's down right not accepted. I have been on this one particular account for 1 year 6 months and instead of it getting any better it gets worst. Man, it's frustrating and will make anybody give up. I don't quit very easily but I think I want to call it's quit. Trust me this is BULL. Mi caan botha......this is bare stress. I think want to leave this account cause it's like they want us to make bread out of stone. But seeing like how I am not Christ I won't even bother to try. I told them once and I will tell them again. Slave was abolished and I am no slave. This is unheard of....I refuse to do more than I can do.

All-Star Weekend

Valentine's Day was any other day for me. I spend it with the love of my life...my son...the apple of my eyes.

Let's touch the All-star weekend...my favorite weekend on the season. But I have to admit this was not the best All-star weekend. It was alright, did it top last year's...heck no, but it was alright. Friday night the celebrity game was fun to watch as usual. Terrell Owens(Wide Receiver-Dallas Cowboys) won the MVP, he was last year's MVP as well.
As for the Rookie Challenge....you know where the rookies of this year and last year's rookies who are now sophomores face off. Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma Thunder...last season's Rookie of the Year...took home the MVP as the Sophomore's beat the Rookies 122-116 for their 7th straight win over the Rookies. Kevin scored 46 points beating a record of 36 which was set by Phoenix Sun's Amare Stoudamire in 2004(he was the MVP of that game). Kevin also won the HORSE competition. Anyways...check this Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard was the Assistant Coach for the Sophomores and Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade was the Assistant Coach of the Rookies.

I don't know which mirror Dwade was looking in when he put on his outfit...I guess this what they means when they say take chances...cuz he took a big risk if you ask me. Okay enough of that on Saturday night....Valentine's Day. The Skills where displayed. The Detroit Pistons won the Shooting Stars. In the Skills Challenge Rookie Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls proves he have skills by copping the title. Jason Kapono of Toronto Raptors defending Champions(2007,2008) of the Three Points Shootout Title got his 3-peat spoiled but Miami's Sophomore Daequan Cook. Cook forced a tie breaker with Orlando's Rashard Lewis. Kenny 'The Jet' Smith said that Cook would not win....talking about how the big stage and bright lights would affect....well Cook showed him. The Slam the highlight of the night. Last year Dwight Howard pulled his Superman stunt and took the slam dunk to a new heights. Well, let's just say he did live up to the level he set. Yeah, he did the whole superman thing...but little Nate Robinson(2007 winner) was his kryptonite. Nate came out in all green and jumped out Dwight. Now that was what gave Nate the win....that was good sportsmanship. Then on Sunday night the big night the best of the best went at it. We get to see Shaq and Kobe play together for the first time since their not so friendly split in 2004. Guess what the both played so great that they were both named MVP. How cool is that. And guess what Philip Jackson was the Coach of the West...now that is cool. The West beat the East 146-119. Talk about blowout. Bill Russell was honored by the Commissioner David Stern who announced that the NBA Finals MVP will be named in his honor...that is great. He was the most dominant big man(center) in his time. Since then we have seen the lights of Shaquille O'neal, Tim Duncan, Patrick Ewing, and now we have young and upcoming stars Yao Ming, Dwight Howard, just to name a few. Also I don't know if you knew but Allen Iverson swore that he would never cut his braids. When he entered the league in 1996 he had low cut, but soon after he grew his hair and decided he would never cut it. You Madea (Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion) had said that when you're in your 20s it's all fun and games, but when you get to 30 a light comes on and if the light doesn't come on we should check our bulbs. I guess Allen Iverson light came on (he's 33) cause he showed up at the All-star with a low cut. Jermaine O'neal, Richard Hamilton, Carmelo Anthony are just a few of the players who have given up their braids. This might not have been the best All-star Weekend but it was fun.
