King James and his free agent Court

July 5, 2010

Ever since Lebron “King” James got drafted as the first pick of the 2003 NBA draft expectations were high, but I believe he has exceeded them.

Major awards won have been two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, six-time NBA all-star, and he won the scoring champion in 2008 to name a few.

The only thing he is missing is a championship ring, which Kobe Bryant (The No. 2 player in the NBA) has five rings.

Now, done with his 6 year deal with the Cavs,  the King is looking at his options and many teams are in the running.

I’ll give you a run down of my top five teams he might go to and why he would go there.

1. Chicago Bulls- The Bulls are in the lead not because his favorite player played there, but because the pieces are in place for a championship run. The young guns include Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Taj Gibson to name a few.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers- They are still a pretty decent team finishing first in record in the NBA last year, he is close to where he grew up, and the addition of new coach Byron Scott makes them the number two in my  opinion.

3. New York Knicks- Number 3 because it’s “New York City”, celebrities like Spike Lee get to watch you, and they already have T-Mac and Amare Stoudamire on the team. The Knicks also have the money and want to get back to prominence like the “Ewing” and “Frazier” Era.

4. Miami Heat- The only way James will be a Heat is if they don’t re-sign Wade and they sign Chris Bosh. Plus Miami is a nice city to live in with good fan support.

5. Los Angeles Clippers- Two reasons why they made the list. One, Blake Griffen is already there and will continue to get better. Number two is because he would play in the same arena that the number two player in the league would play in and it could become a rivalry.

My answer is it’s between the Bulls and Magic.


Dean’s List makes my Newcomers List

July 5, 2010

Dean’s list is a 4 -man music group based out of Boston, Massachusetts.

They’re a group of individuals that have come together under one common belief/purpose.

And that is to provide innovative yet professional quality music and media on a national (and eventually international) platform.

Sonny Shotz on Vocals has a sick rap flow with DJ Mendoza and Mik Beats creating beats that improve the song.

One of their songs “Valley Girl” takes part The Script’s “Breakeven” to use as a background, which I think is sick.

Songs I like:

“Last Semester”, “Valley Girl”, “Sunset Thoughts”, “Be Different”, and their new song “Repeat”.
