nba all-star reserves and west coach, named

-
byron scott and the new orleans hornet's coaching staff will be going to the all-star. oh well, all-star's happening in new orleans anyway. as i was saying, scott was named the west all-star's coach after the hornets posted the best record in the west although they are virtually tied with the suns.

suns' d'antoni though coached the west last year so he s not qualified for this year. then, dallas lost to boston which means that the best that the mavs can do is a tie with the hornets. in that case, the tie-breaker go to the "coach who most recently has not coached in the all-star game" according to nba.com. and since avery johnson coached the west in 2006, byron scott is the clear winner.

looks like cp3 got what he was asking for. when asked after they beat denver, chris paul said: "the only thing that's on my mind right now, to tell you the truth, is to get my coaches in the all-star game". well, he got that and more. cp3 and teammate david west were also named as reserves for the west all-stars. yup! the nba has named the reserves for both conferences which now gives us this year's lineup for east and west.

east:
  • chauncey billups
  • chris bosh
  • caron butler
  • kevin garnett
  • richard hamilton
  • dwight howard
  • lebron james
  • antawn jamison
  • joe johnson
  • jason kidd
  • paul pierce
  • dwyane wade
west:
  • carmelo anthony
  • carlos boozer
  • kobe bryant
  • tim duncan
  • allen iverson
  • yao ming
  • steve nash
  • dirk nowitzki
  • chris paul
  • brandon roy
  • amare stoudemire
  • david west

who's got the baddest f1 helmet?

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w

kevin durant is rookie of the year

last year's draft saw the portland trailblazers picking up greg oden with their first pick. then, seattle went with kevin durant and durant would go on to become this season's rookie of the year (uhm, rookie of what year exactly? shouldn't it be called the rookie of the season or something? hehehe). the university of texas standout, a 6'9" swingman with a wingspan of almost 7'5" led all rookies in scoring with 20.3 per contest. i must admit that i was more interested in oden as i was wondering how he (oden) will be able to match up with the league's premier big men. but durant showed that at his young age, he can ball with the best in the nba. i also admire the kid's professionalism, his dedication to his craft. in the first months of this season, he kept shooting threes which really hurt his shooting percentage. but he soon learned that it would be easier to make shots if he throw them up closer to the rim. by the end of the regular seaso

anybody who matter really ripping on lebron?

  It’s amazing how LeBron at almost 37 is still being ripped for struggling, when he has an AD in his prime and not living up to expectations. Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, and Jordan were no longer relevant at 37. That lets you know how great LBJ is. “Keep it moving” — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) December 10, 2021 it's amazing how eddie johnson can find people who knows what they are talking about actually rip on lebron. i mean, most of the blame on the lakers' lack of early season success has been piled on westbrook early on and has shifted to tony davis recently.  lebron is a physical specimen and although i'm not his biggest fan, i understand how great he is as a player and i can honestly say that he has not gotten any sort of blame for the lakers' season so far. so i'm not sure where eddie is coming from here. also, timmy won a chip as a major contributor at 36...against a stacked lebron team at that.
