NBA Draft Lottery System

The Lottery

Since the NBA Draft Lottery was last week and the Nets (worst team) got the #3 pick, the T-Wolves (2nd worst team) got the #4 pick, and the Kings (3rd worst team) got the #5 pick, the argument has opened once again about whether or not to get rid of the lottery completely. As it is now, the NBA Draft Lottery works as follows: It is essentially for the top 3 picks in the draft involving the non-playoff teams. Each team has a certain percentage of winning each of the top 3 picks. The worse your record, the better your chances (the worst record has a 25% chance of getting the #1 pick). The first 3 picks are randomly drawn and picks 4-14 are in descending order of record based on the teams remaining. For example: New Jersey had the worst record in the NBA this year. This means that they can do no worse than #4 because if they don’t get top 3, they have the worst record out of the teams remaining. Conversely, the Houston Rockets, who had the best record out of the non-playoff teams, either get a top 3 pick or the #14 pick, nothing in between, 

The Summer of LeBron

Eliminated!

          Lebron James has been knocked out of the 2010 NBA Playoffs so now is a perfect time to say...Told ya so!!! This just strengthens my position that Lebron is not a closer and chokes under pressure. The “best player in the league” has been knocked out of the 2nd round of the playoffs. What does this mean? It means that Lebron James can’t handle the spotlight and do what great players like Jordan and Kobe can do, and that is finish you off. The two players just mentioned will get you on the ground and step on your throat, Lebron can’t do that and has proven it time and time again. Yes, Lebron had a triple double last night in the Game 6 at Boston (27 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists) but, and that is a big but, he shot 8-21 from the field (38%) and had 9 turnovers. 9 TURNOVERS!!!???? In an elimination game??? That’s at least 18 possible points the Cavs could have scored, which would have definitely the pace of the game considering the Cavs lost by 9. If you consider the points that he had 9 turnovers shooting 38% in a loss in an elimination game, in addition to going 3-14 with 15 points in Game 5, the triple double really doesn’t seem that great. Free agency for Lebron officially starts now.

Stupid Phillies’ Fans

The Morons and a Baseball Team

There must be something passing through the water in Philadelphia because this baseball season already has produced 3 of the most moronic fan events, all taking place at Philadelphia Phillies games. I don’t know what is happening there, it’s not like I am bias against the Phillies because I am a Yankees fan, but something is going on because these are some of the dumbest fans I have ever seen. Here is the breakdown of all 3 events in chronological order:

The Vomiter

On April 15, the Phillies were playing the Nationals on the field, but that’s not where the attention seemed to be. In the stands, a man was thrown out after he intentionally vomited on an 11 year old girl. Need I say more? I will. This man, sitting behind an off duty cop and his 2 daughters, actually

Super Fight Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

Boxing Separately

Yesterday Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Shane Mosley in a unanimous decision. On March 13, Manny Pacquiao easily beat Joshua Clottey. The two best boxers in the sport are inexcusably fighting other people. Mayweather, 41-0 with 25 KOs, and Pacquiao; 51 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties; refuse to fight each other because Floyd is accusing Manny of using illegal substances, with absolutely no proof to back up his claims, and that he won’t fight Manny unless he agrees to blood and urine testing 14 days before their fight as well as after. Pacquiao refuses, agreeing to testing 24 days before the fight at the latest, and both sides are at a stand still.

It's Time To Rumble

It’s clear that these two boxers are so superior to their competition that they need to fight each other in order for either of them to get any sort of a
