I wonder

Will Kobe Bryant adjust to not being the focal point of the offense? That's the key question if the NBA ever begins play this upcoming season. Coach Mike Brown has kinda talked out of both sides of his mouth. Early on he stated this was Kobe's team now in September the tune has changed slightly. Brown is now stating the offense will run through the two 7-footers Gasol and Bynum. It really makes sense to maximize your offensive scheme as much as possible. Of course game on the line, seconds on the clock I still want the ball in Kobe's hands. I believe if there is an open player nearer the basket he will pass the rock.

Did you see this?
People have been complaining about officiating since the beginning of time---but! One of the all-time great officials is retiring his whistle, Steve Javie is retiring after 25 years as an NBA official. Players where all aware when Javie was on the court he was the man in charge. From what I'm reading on the internet a number of NBA fans are preparing to dance in the streets with the news of his retirement. Not me, I think he was a good official. My only complaint I think at times he was too quick to T a player.

Football or Basketball
I was reading an article about the Big East Conference and it caused me to ask a question. Is the school in the conference you follow know for it's football or basketball teams or maybe both? Certainly this isn't intended as a scientific poll just an observation, your conclusions might be totally different from mine and that's okay. At the top of the list is the Atlantic Coast Conference, they play football but if you say ACC your thought is basketball not football. The dominant teams North Carolina, Duke and other ACC schools especially in NCAA tournament history paint this a basketball conference. Same situation with the aforementioned Big East Conference, UConn, Syracuse, Georgetown to name a few. Missouri Valley schools are considered mid-major's however their basketball programs are top notch, ask Kansas fans about Northern Iowa? Conference USA was begun as a basketball conference however most of it's founding schools are affiliated with other conferences now. Despite the conference dominance of Kansas basketball the Big 12 is football driven as is the Big 10. The rich history of the Kentucky Wildcats and conference basketball inprovement overall the Southeastern Conference is still football, football and more football.

A few weeks back I discovered Satnam Singh from India for you, check out this video of the 15-year old. Will Satnam impact the game in 5-6 years? I have no idea just thought you might enjoy the story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p70zKDo0O24

We are suffering
The metro Kansas City area is in the midst of a depression! The gloom has nothing to do with the economic condition of the nation it's the areas professional sports teams. The baseball Royals stink big time and the football Chiefs are not much better, 0-2 and being blown out 48-3 by the Lions. The NBA Kings left in 1985 and the NHL Scouts even earlier. The soccer team Sporting Kansas City is the only team winning anything currently. If I were in a position I'd trade the Royals and Chiefs for an NBA team any one's NBA team, I'd keep Sporting Kansas City because they win, I can't wait for basketball to begin play
