Strong Will Continue - Nas & Damian Marley

Well Ivory Coast is certainly no scrub...but I still think Brazil will win considering that there is no room for mistakes at the moment and with Portugal as the next foe.

That's not a bad deal actually. If the Raptors can deal a bad contract as well I would take that. I highly doubt the Lakers will trade Bynum now that he played a role in their title run.

Good on him for admitting he bailed out on the Pacers. He should apologize to Reggie too for ruining his chance of getting a ring.

I hope he will have a new mindset for the new season. Otherwise, he won't make it anywhere. At Philly he will be starting at SG but the key to the ball will be held by Jrue Holiday and in other teams he will surely be asked to take a lesser role (given that he won't go to [expletive] teams and wants to win a ring)

Not only superstars like Wade, LBJ are hard working players. There are probably numerous other players working hard in the gym at the moment besides Afflalo but just not getting recognized.

RIP Manute Bol.

I don't think getting a billionaire + numerous celebrities would affect LeBron's decision. One exception would be maybe Jay-Z but even he will have little influence over the final decision. I agree with Clutch and I think that basketball factors would be the most important ones in LeBron's mind.

Goodness. Kewell got sent off for deliberate handball (I don't think it was deliberate) and Ghana score with the following penalty. Heartbreak.

Australia 1-0 at the moment.

Wow. Who would have guessed that the most exciting game of the World Cup up to date would be Slovenia vs USA?

This. Sorry Suns fans, but Steve Nash and Hill have got 1-2 more seasons left in them at best till retirement (or reduced to a much smaller role) and with Amare probably leaving, it doesn't look very good at the moment.

The Kings won't bite considering Iggy's long contract. They do have Greene waiting in the wings. I like the Prince deal though.

Well FIFA 11 just got a first look in IGN so I don't think a trailer is out yet.

Unless Cousins is injured or he won't do well working out with the T'Wolves, it doesn't make sense for his agent to not send him to any workout possible to raise his stock up.

Yeah it's pretty good. I got it at a sale a few days ago (Half of usual price). Definitely an improvement over FIFA 10. However, I have heard that FIFA 11 is at another level so if you want to play with clubs as well as countries (although this game does have around 120 countries), get FIFA 11.

Can't go wrong with just 1.8 million for a Seventh or Eighth man.

Nice, he is definitely a quality coach.

Agree with above, giving up too much for a role player and a late lottery pick.

Wow, I thought Anthony Mason only retired a few seasons back and now he has a son ready to play. Hopefully he won't end up like Patrick Ewing Jr.

Getting Chris Paul would get the same result as the Marbury-Kidd trade from before.

I would go with J.R Smith. He has the potential to go 50 on you and is unstoppable when he catches on fire.

He doesn't deserve the max contract, but he will get it if he stay in Phoenix.

No because to me, the best big man should also be the definition of 'power' in the league, and that goes to Dwight.

Yeah you're right. But are they a championship team with him leading at the front? If Celtics win this year I would say Rondo would be considered to be a top-tier player now but not HOF. Don't forget, he has the help of 3 team mates who can all take over a game alone e.g. Ray Allen in game 2 today. The HOF really isn't that easy to get into to for NBA players.
