"I'm Gloria Allred and I hate dunk shots"

Here’s a couple things I’ve had on my mind lately.

- JA Adande’s LeBron to LA article. Adande points out that LeBron would be surrounded by all stars in LA, whether it’s past, present, or future they’re still all stars in his book! He’d be in LA battling for the big city lights with Kobe and the media would eat that up. At least for now, LeBron isn’t doing the same. LeBron’s thoughts on playing for the Clippers, “I have no thoughts on that.”

- LeBron2010.info - This is a new LeBron 2010 website that is extremely well done. There are recaps from every game along with several other very interesting features. There’s the jersey tracker which keeps track of the Cavs record in each different jersey they play in. There’s the team power rankings which gauge who has the best chance at getting LeBron in 2010. And there’s tons of great contract information on the Cavs team and others around the league. Make sure to check this website out!

Shaq being sued for harassment. There’s a woman in Orlando who is suing Shaq for harassing her. She claims that they’ve been seeing each other for over five years, but things got sour when she told Shaq she was possibly pregnant. This same woman has also accused JJ Redick of harassment, had problems with Kenyon Martin, and had the police called to Delonte West’s hotel room in 2006.

At this point she had no credibility, then her lawyer released this statement, “Lopez, who stands two feet shorter than Mr. O’Neal and weighs less than 100 pounds, is determined to take Mr. O’Neal on and hold him accountable for his behavior in a courtroom where size, money and power will not matter and where the final score will be determined by the scales of justice and not by how many dunk shots he makes or how many baskets he scores.” Now she has less than no credibility!

Let’s break down that statement…1) Shaq is taller than this lady. He’s taller than 99% of the population, that’s why he’s in the NBA, who cares? 2) Hold Shaq accountable for his behavior. There is absolutely no evidence that Shaq did anything wrong to this woman besides meeting her in the first place. 3) A courtroom where size, money, and power will not matter. This court room is in Narnia with The Tooth Fairy and Big Foot. 4) The final score will be determined by the scales of justice and not by how many dunk shots he makes or how many baskets he scores. This is a horrible line that a fourth grader would come up with. And what the hell is a dunk shot? Are we talking about George Mikan or Shaquille O’neal here?

- Great trade idea There’s rumors that Cleveland is in the market for Antawn Jamison. I have a great idea for this trade, if it goes through. Let’s workout a deal to bring DeShawn Stevenson to Cleveland, then permanently banish him to our D-League affiliate!!! Wouldn’t it be great to not see DeShawn waving his hand in front of his face after a made three for the Erie BayHawks.
