Global Basketball

The long wait is over. Team USA must prove to the world that NBA is the premier basketball league. Teams USA haven’t got the glory since the Jordan era. Argentina and European counties like Italy are growing stronger and stronger. Speaking of European Basketball, with NBA players jumping to Euro league, the quality of basketball will likely to be better and better. Even superstars like LeBron James or Kobe Bryant are getting luxurious offers once their contracts expire. With dollar slightly going down over euros NBA superstars might be looking for a better offer abroad. Josh Childress just won a lottery in Europe, getting more money than Atlanta is giving him. Good for him, he can dominate Euro League (maybe?), difficult to do in the NBA with Kobe or LeBron playing.

Another thing that interests me these days is the upcoming fight of the number one pound for pound boxer Manny Pacquiao. Who will be his next opponent?? I don’t know if Oscar Dela Hoya is serious about having a match with Manny. It will be more on the pot money rather than greatness. Why can’t the Golden boy just sign a match with Kelly Pavlik. That would be a great match. With Pacquiao it’s no contest. Margarito-Dela Hoya could also be a great fight. People want to see a real fight not an entertainment. For Manny he must fight the best of his class and not to mention Marquez moving up to lightweight against Casamayor. Pacquiao-Sotto may be a tune up match for Manny before another big fight (i.e Marquez- Pacquiao 3 or Pacquiao-Hatton). For Dela Hoya, I want to see the man retire the boxing world as one of the best among his generation.

FROM BEYOND

Hi Guys.

Tomorrow August 8, 2008 (8–8–08), many believes that it is the luckiest day of the year. Hope its true, I hate to go to work late. Olympic is just around the corner. China would dominate the events while US Mens Basketball Team is hoping that they will re-live the glory. 

I’ve been busy these days. First my wife is giving birth to our first child. Second my is my work. Don’t have time to watch movie. Lucky for me even at work or at home I can still watch movies (Pirated that is.) www.justin.tv and http://watch-movies.net/ are my kind of place.
