The NBA draft is tonight and I know I will be watching to see how it unfolds.
A preview of potential draft picks is available and everyone is wondering who the 'sleeper' of the draft will be. I think Gordon Hawyard, Devin Ebanks and Ekepe Udoh are prime candidates and in the second round, I like Trevor Booker's work ethic, the decisionmaking and shotmaking capabilities of Greivis Vasquez and the potential of Lance Stephenson.
Teams seem to be ready to jockey around for positioning in the free agency market and are ready to deal players and make trades for draft picks tonight and future development. I would not be surprised to see Miami get 3 big name players when all is said and done including Lebron James.
With all of the talk about Kobe Bryant winning another championship, there are many who are saying he now deserves to be ranked ahead of Michael Jordan as the greatest player of all time.
No Way!
MJ is not even #1 in my book. Ask anyone over 50 years of age and you will likely get a very different answer:
Wilt Chamberlain.
The rules of the game changed because of Wilt. Is there anyone else who can make that claim?
This stat line from the 1961-1962 season tells it all:
50.4 points per game
25.7 rebounds per game
48.5 minutes per game (A regulation NBA game is only 48 minutes!)
These are averages for the season. That is just unreal!
