The NBA is in big trouble when the NFL draft is getting more attention than their playoffs. They better bring out the Kobe Bryant and LeBron James puppets out now because thaey need them. David Stern needs to start endorsing Kobe and Lebron like he did Magic and Bird. What I saw last night was outstanding basketball by the San Antonio Spurs and that is why they have won four Championships. What this tells you is that America would rather dream still than face reality when people would rather see if Sam Bradford is going to be the number one pick that to see if the Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder could beat the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant in LA two phenomenal games but they were still Ben Roethlisberger and the NFL draft took all story lines why is that? Marketing if you look at what the NFL and NBA are doing bsaketball players should have a tremendous advantage because the fan can actually see you and recgnize you. The NFL they wear helmets and 90% of the fans only know their number and have no idea what they look like. My call to the NBA is fire your marketing director.

That was a heartbreaking loss last night for Xavier. To be so close yet so far away having missed 1 and 1 by an 83% free throw shooter to two missed lay-ups in the final seconds of the game. That was the ultimate game of size versus speed because Stanford kept pounding them and they kept playing hard. When they look back on this game it will take them one of two ways. They will come back with avengence next year for redemption or they could become vulnerable in pressure situations. Dee Dee Jernigan needs to be counseled and Kevin McGuff should sit down and have a heart to heart with her. She is mentally unstable right now if you saw her after the game. At this point in her life and at that age she needs reassurance and comfort from teammates (who should not alienate her) because if you watched after the play it took the coach to lift her up her teammates were like left her there and that can't be a good feeling Dee Dee Jernigan I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors.
