Amare Stoudemire to the Warriors!?


I can't believe this. Rumors have it that Stoudemire may soon join the Warriors in a trade involving Andris Biedrins. The Dubs will finally get a superstar if this trade goes down. Amare is a perfect fit for the Warriors -- athletic, shot-happy, likes to run and doesn't play defense.

The Warriors might actually make the playoffs if this happens. The sad thing about this trade is Biedrins is the only Warrior known to play a lick amount of defense.

No doubt that the Oracle crowd will embrace Amare because of his highlight reel dunks and once-in-a-while sensational blocks.

Who is the MMA Pound-for-Pound King?

Who really is the best MMA fighter out there? Some will make the case that Anderson ‘Spider’ Silva is. It is an understatement to say that he dominates everyone he faces in the Octagon. He made the number one middleweight contender Rich Franklin look silly in their last two fights.

Fedor Emelianenko makes his case as top MMA fighter because he has never lost a match. That one loss was a no-contest. Even when it seems that he is losing a match, he finds a way to devastate his opponent. In his last match against Arlovski, Fedor was getting his ass whooped. But in a wink of an eye, Fedor sneaked in a super punch to knock Arlovski out.

How about Georges St. Pierre? His recent win over BJ Penn has erased any doubts that GSP has the skills and technique to match the best fighters in the UFC. The only blemish that tarnishes that win over Penn was that his body was greased up in Vaseline. In a sport like MMA, the slightest grease on the body could mean a missed chance for a submission move. With Vaseline or not, Penn still had no answer for GSP’s size, skill and strength.

These three fighters are the best in the business.

MVP

I told my dad before the beginning of the NBA season that Dwyane Wade was going home with the MVP award. Of course, he laughed and said Paul Pierce had a better chance of winning MVP.

Well, since Kevin Garnett has been out with an injury and LameBury is spreading his infectious disease of loserness in the Celtic locker room, the Celtics have been consistent losers. It seems that Paul Pierce can't lead the Celtics.

I'm still making my case for D-Wade for MVP. I've been lucky to watch Kobe, LeBron and D-Wade courtside against my Warriors.

Kobe makes the weakest case for MVP since he has Pau Gasol. Gasol is the difference in the triangle.

Lebron has a better chance of winning the MVP award. But everything he's done, Wade has just been better. Just look at Wade's teammates. Jermaine O'Neal? Chris Quinn? Mario Chalmers? Beasley? Wade has to play with two rookies, a white guy who is vertically challenged and a lazy O'Neal.

Lebron is surrounded by shooters which makes his job easy. Wade is surrounded by pieces of crap in Heat uniforms.
