LeBron James aka "The Chosen One" put up an historic performance Sunday. His stat line was something you see in NBA 2k12, 40 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assist in a must win game 4 vs the Pacers. LeBron is easily the most ridiculed athlete in sports today and maybe ever. Every aspect of his game gets criticized BUT this man can play the game of basketball unlike anyone. I know people get on LBJ including myself a lot but he is the best player in the NBA right now. He can score and attack the basket unlike any other person in the league, his defense is stout but what has hurt him as a player is his ability to "Close" the game in big games. He's 0-2 in the NBA Finals which has also hurt his legacy as a player but and its a big but if he can possibly show that killer instincts and get to the Finals and win the championship and close games the way he should be able to do the hatred and animosity towards LeBron will slowly go away and his place as the best player in ...

Carmelo Anthony has been in the NBA since 2003. During that time he has put up some amazing numbers and appeared in 5 all star games BUT he has only gotten out of the first round once. One time has Carmelo gotten out of the first round now i know its not all on him but the likes of Dirk, Derrick Rose, CP3, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Wade and LeBron have been out the first round on numerous occasions and they are considered "Superstars' on the NBA and Carmelo in my eyes has all the tools to be a superstar but he isn't in that category yet. Superstars make there team better no matter who's in the starting five or on the bench and Carmelo with all the talent on the Knicks roster (Tyson, Amare, J.R, Novak, Shumpert) he led them to just a 6th seed and yeah i know once Dantoni was let go he started balling up and they played better but it doesn't matter if you don't get it done playoff time.Playoff time is  where "Stars" become "Superstars" and ...

AL Division Winners East- Yankees Central- Tigers West- Angels Wild Card- Rangers NL Division Winners East- Marlins Central- Cardinals (Yes even without Pujols) West- DiamondBacks Wild Card- Phillies AL MVP- Miguel Cabrera NL MVP- Hanley Ramirez AL Cy Young- Jared Weaver NL Cy Young- Roy Halladay AL Rookie of The Year- Jesus Montero NL Rookie of The Year- Julio Teheran AL Manager of The Year- Jimmy Leyland NL Manager of The Year- Kirk Gibson World Series Matchup Marlins vs Yankees Yankees in 6 Jeter MVP

1) Maria Menounos and Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres   This match isnt the Divas match we wanted (Beth vs Kharma or Trish vs Beth) so no one will care about the outcome but i cant see Beth n Eve losing to a Kelly Kelly and a TV host but who knows. Winner- Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres 2) Team Teddy s Team Johnny   Rather have saw a money in the bank ladder match instead but this should be a solid match i think. I think the last remaining contestants Otunga (Team Johnny) vs Santino (Team Teddy) and Otunga wins the match for team Johnny therefore Mr Excitement getting full control of Raw and Smackdown. Winner- Team Johnny 3) Randy Orton vs Kane   This should be a another solid match at mania. I might be alone on the prediction but i think Kane gets the W tonight. I haven't really liked the booking of this match with Orton pretty much dominating...

Tim Tebow was recently traded to the New York Jets from Denver for a 4th and 6th round pick. The move comes with the Denver Broncos recently acquiring top free agent Peyton Manning. The trade has outraged me and many other people esepcially with the recent extension of current quarterback Mark Sanchez and the fragile mindset of Sanchez. If you believe in your quarterback why would you get Tim Tebow and the media circus he brings along with him? I think this move was solely to win the headlines in New York since the New York Giants are the defending Super Bowl champions and to add a big name to the New York Area that will create huge revenue and tabloids. THIS TRADE IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Why in the world would you bring Tebow and that circus to New York? What does this say about the way they feel about Mark Sanchez? The Jets have said he will come in as a backup quarterback and a wildcat package quarterback. I do...
