EndScore Report: LeBron James is Better Than Us
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, NBA, Playoffs,
In this edition of EndScore Report, DV and Chris speak on the LeBron James situation in which he initmated he was better than us regular folk. Maybe it was just sour grapes on his part after his Miami Heat lost to Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, but still, LeBron should have some class. I don't know how Dwyane Wade is going to deal with this for several more seasons. Yeesh! Anyway, give it a LISTEN!

EndScore Report: In Your Face Pippen and Goodell
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, NBA, News, NFL,
In this edition of "In Your Face," DV and Chris throw down on Scottie Pippen for his remarks last week of LeBron James being better than Michael Jordan. To paraphrase a new movie coming out, six titles is all the argument you need to say that Jordan is the best. Well, on top of everything else, like him transcending the sport of basketball like Babe Ruth for baseball. We also wag our finger at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for taking sides. Sure, he's employed by the owners, but when it comes to settling arguments between them and the players, he should at least try to be neutral to make sure there's football in the fall. LISTEN UP!

MLB to soon dominate the airwaves
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: MLB,
With Tuesday’s penultimate Game 6 sending the NBA Finals to a climactic one game, winner-take-all finale, Major League Baseball came one step closer to owning fan dollars and television sets indefinitely for the foreseeable future. As the only major North American sports league to operate during the summer months, baseball takes center stage in a sports world that is ruthless when it comes to competing for attention. But due to baseball’s “every day” nature, every other league’s attempts to land lasting headlines often come up short.

2010 NBA free agents to talk
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Front Office, NBA, News, Rumors,
Okay, first of all, don’t call this gathering of 2010 NBA free agents - Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Joe Johnson, Chris Bosh, and allegedly Amar’e Stoudemire - a “summit.” Let’s be clear, they’ll just be talking about one subject, possibly in one location, and discuss their futures. Yes, this does not sound like a summit at all. Well, maybe a little. In any case, it’s amazing that these aforementioned NBA free agents will basically dictate who the next NBA powerhouse will be, particularly if any combination of two players go to one team. As previously posted here on Endscore, the Cleveland Cavaliers have the edge to re-sign LeBron, so maybe someone like Bosh signs with the Cavs after a sign-and-trade deal is struck. Maybe Amar’e heads from one warm weather climate in Phoenix to another one in Miami. Who knows what happens, but it’s clear that the players are in control in the NBA.

National Lacrosse League: The bastard child of North American sport
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Editorial, NBA, NFL, NHL,
Have you ever wondered what might happen if you combined football, basketball and hockey? You’d probably get lacrosse. The National Lacrosse League is a growing business in North America and with good reason; their brand of lacrosse mixes elements of other major North American sports with lacrosse to create an exciting on-field product that is attracting more and more fans each season. With 11 teams in the league and some of the most raucous crowds in attendance, the NLL is definitely something worth checking out.

Just where exactly is Detroit anyway?
Does anybody know where Detroit, Michigan is? Clearly sport doesn’t. Detroit has a franchise in each of the four major North American Sports, the Pistons (NBA), Lions (NFL), Red Wings (NHL), and Tigers (MLB), and all of them are in a different geographically-defined league or conference, based on the sport they play in. Detroit itself is a part of the Midwestern United States, as defined by the United States Census Bureau. However, in the world of sport, Detroit is the nexus of North America.

Restructuring the NBA All Star Game
Posted by Phil Partington Categories: Editorial, NBA,
.
For years, the NBA All Star Game has been a bit of a joke, the biggest problem being that the fans are allowed to vote in the starters. While there is truth to the argument, this game is for the fans, there are many NBA player contracts with incentives written into them for making the All Star roster. If this game is to measure the quality of a player’s recent production, how can it be determined by a popularity vote by casual fans who don’t even follow the game?
Take Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, for example. Iverson was voted in as a starter, despite not getting minutes with the Memphis Grizzlies, and only producing 14.5 ppg and 4.2 apg in a respectable 32 minutes a night while in Philadelphia. Take Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets, who was nearly voted in as an All Star over Steve Nash, despite playing in just six games this season where he averaged 3.2 ppg. The problem is an embarrassment to the whole event, and should undergo serious reconstruction.

Posted by Phil Partington Categories: Editorial, NBA,
The 2009-2010 NBA trade deadline is approaching, and several teams have already shaken up their rosters in attempts to make a push for title contention this season, or to free up salary cap space for the upcoming off season free agent frenzy, which features myriad stars, such as LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire.
While the Dallas Mavericks have already made such a move, acquiring Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood from the disappointing Washington Wizards, other teams, like the Los Angeles Lakers, are looking to stand pat.
