If Ronaldinho can do the same trick with a soccer ball why not Federer with a tennis ball. Fake or not, still impressive.

Lebron James, Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh Cover "Sports Illustrated" Magazine

Sportscasters are still looking for a catchy name to name the new Miami Heat trio. I heard Miami Thrice, The (new) Big Three, The Three Amigos, Miamigos, Superfriends...All corny, nicknames don't matter when The Los Angeles Lakers already have theirs etched into next year Larry O'Brien trophy.

Lebron James: His Decision

The most exciting free agency probably in NBA history (at least the one I witnessed) came to an end last night when Lebron James confirmed what has been reported for days, since Draft Day by Stephen A. Smith that he'll be joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to play for the Miami Heat.

It wasn't an easy decision for the self-proclaimed "King" to leave his kingdom for an easy attempt at a championship. Winning was the deciding factor not money. Lebron turned down a max salary in Cleveland to take a pay cut in Miami. Some would argue that it's still a selfish move from LBJ to abandon his team and city especially in the economic woes it's experiencing.

As soon as the decision was announced in a reality-show like style on ESPN, producers cut to burning images of Lebron's jersey in Cleveland. Apparently the fans had also made the decision that he was no longer welcome there. I must say that I was shocked to see him leave and watch what he built over 7 years crumbled like a sand castle at a stroke of a wave. Franchise players don't leave their teams, they ride it out. Michael Jordan never left. Magic Johnson never left. Kobe Bryant never left (no Shaq, no Phil Jackson, no playoffs... He still stayed, look at him now)

As a fan of the game I'm also disappointed and fear that we won't have the same excitement watching Lebron play, because his legacy is now downgraded to the like of Scottie Pippen. By moving to Miami Lebron decided to play sidekick, a supporting role to D. Wade instead of leading his hometown to a Championship.

Prince James took the easy way out, the cowardly way out as Dan Gilbert Cleveland Cavs owner would harshly put it. (Click here to read his open letter to the fans). That letter was another fallout of the the Lebron Saga, Dan Gilbert obviously bitter, let his emotions took over his professionalism and sacked Lebron left and right in a classless attempt at diminishing Lebron's accomplishments in Cleveland. You can't all of a sudden cover your eyes after all Lebron has done for you (financially) and the city. What Dan Gilbert has failed to acknowledge in this heartless diatribe is that he never put together a winning group around Lebron's God-given talent. It's easy to point fingers now but you need to take some responsibilities too. Dan Gilbert also outlandishly predicted the Cavs will win a championship before Lebron does. I had to laugh at that.

If Lebron really wanted to leave to have a shot at a championship, Chicago for me was the best choice. A young and energetic team in Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, plus the addition of veteran Carlos Boozer had to be the best core team you could dream for. Lebron went for the obvious, his buddies/Olympic teammates.

It's going to be an interesting NBA season, especially that first game back in Cleveland for Lebron. Boston and Chicago are still my favorite to win the East. Miami is still working on rebuilding their team since as of right now they only have one or two players under contract. Michael Beasley was shipped to Minnesota for a future draft pick to clear some cap room to accomodate the three Super stars salaries.

At the end of the day, Lebron had to team up with Wade and Bosh to have a chance at beating my Lakers. It's not going to happen anytime soon. We are going for the Three-Peat next season. His image took a drastic hit, he lost a lot of respect from fans. He's going to have to prove us right.

Get it right next time.

Kobe Bryant Challenges Team Brazil

Kobe Bryant sent a message to the Brazilian soccer team for a little friendly competition: "Race You to 6". Since they both have 5 championships, the first to get to 6, wins. Obviously this is the only chance for Brazil until 2014 to win it. Kobe will have a shot at it every year. A bit unfair but why not?

Los Angeles Lakers 2010 NBA Champions

What a fucking game 7. So memorable, both teams were going for loose balls, showing tough defense. L.A got the edge by out-rebounding Boston (26 offensive rebounds) taking advantage of Perkins absence. Ron Artest came big for us in the first half when the team was struggling on the offensive end, he grabbed some offensive rebounds stole the ball a few times, put some great defense on Pierce.

Boston led throughout the first 3 quarters, up by 13 at one point. L.A never gave up, pushed by their crowd they made an amazing comeback, one of the toughest of the season. They finally tied the game and took the lead in the final minutes of the game. Fisher and Artest came up with two big 3 to give us the edge but Boston answered back with Rondo's and Allen's. It came down two free throws made both by Vujacic and Bryant who had one of his worst night of the playoffs.

Thank God team efforts carried them to the Championship, the 16th for the Lakers (1 shy away to tie Boston 17). This is Kobe 5th ring, people can't deny his GREATNESS now, one more than Shaq like he emphasized during his post-game press conference.

Last year, I mentioned when we won the Championship that Phil Jackson only wins his championships in threes, twice with Chicago, once with L.A. This is the second of the potential three, all we need for him is to confirm he's coming back next year and we are good to go for the 3-peat.

Congratulations on an amazing year Los Angeles Lakers. See you next year!

P.S: Artest gave the greatest, awesome, awkward post game interview ever:

The Los Angeles Lakers Are Back in The NBA Finals

Last year when we won the championship I told you we'll back for some more (3-peat). On top of this we get  to avenge our loss from two years ago against the Boston Celtics.

It's going to be very physical, The Lakers have yet to lose at home during these playoffs, so I'm calling this one in 6 games.

Can't wait... Shout out to "Clutch" Kobe, aka Black Mamba.

Togo Soccer Team Withdraws From African Cup Of Nations

After a deadly attack by rebels as they were crossing the Northern border by bus, the government of Togo summoned the team to come back home. The players, however were interested in staying in honor of their fallen teammates and assistant coach.

It seems that officials of Angola and of the Confederation of African Football (organizers of the tournament) failed to guarantee the team safety after the attack, one of the condition for Togo's participation in the tournament was a change of venue, which didn't happen.

It's really unfortunate what happened to this team full of young talents, they were innocent victims of local conflicts and now they have to say goodbye to their chances in winning the tournament instead they're heading home to mourn.

Get it right next time!

P.S: Gabon is also participating in the tournament, our first game is 01/13 against Cameroon our biggest rival (they stole our chances to participate in the World Cup Tournament this Summer in South Africa). We got this one!

Michael Jordan & Dwayne Wade Unveils Jordan 25

When Jordan Brand makes its long-awaited release of the Air Jordan 2010 in February to commemorate the popular line's 25th anniversary, Wade will debut the shoe. Hand-picked for the role by Michael Jordan himself, the Miami Heat guard called it "a huge honor."

The shoe will be launched nationwide Feb. 13 and will carry a retail price of $170. That coincides with All-Star weekend near Dallas and is four days before Jordan's 47th birthday.
