Just a few days ago Keith “Tiny” Gallon a center for the University of Oklahoma said he had full intentions of coming back to school next year for his sophomore year to play ball. Well, then news broke that Gallon received a $3,000 wire transfer from a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch that resulted in investigations being launched by the NCAA and Oklahoma. Quickly after the news broke “Tiny” decided to declare for the 2010 NBA Draft. I haven’t a clue what would have caused the sudden change of heart? The Oklahoma men’s basketball team could be in for more trouble and it hasn’t been that long since former head coach Kelvin Sampson left them hanging in a cloud of allegations.
Oden Resorts to Hoggin
June 23, 2009 by
It was two years ago this week that Greg “Don’t call me Grady from Sanford & Son” Oden was drafted as the number one selection by the Portland Trailblazers and the sky seemed to be the limit. Then unfortunately the harsh reality of being injury prone hit Mr. Oden in the face and over a two year span he has played in a total of 61 games and is averaging a meager 8.9 points and 7 rebounds a game. Now don’t get me wrong, Greg got paid for sure, but it seems his game is not only been lackluster on the court it has also seems to be affecting his off court game. This young lady might be the sweetest thing ever, but can’t an NBA star of his stature score something a bit better? At least he looks happy with her.
Blake Griffin Is Screwed
May 20, 2009 by
Last night the Los Angeles Clippers won the 2009 NBA Draft Lottery which means another poor soul will get lost in the abyss that is the LA Clippers. Does anyone remember Michael Olowakandi as the number one pick in 1998? How about some of their other first-round picks which include Darius Miles, Melvin Ely, Brian Skinner, Maurice Taylor, Lorenzen Wright, Greg Minor, Terry Dehere, Randy Woods, Elmore Spencer and Loy Vaught. YUCK!!! The Clippers are playing it cool stating they will explore all options which could mean they will draft someone random like Tyler Hansbrough with the first pick, but all signs point to Blake Griffin.
Sorry Blake…Sorry!
