LeBron James Dunks on Small Kid During Game of Knockout (Video)
Considering LeBron James has developed a reputation as a perennial playoff choker, it would stand to reason that the Queen is tired of losing.� Apparently that goes for all things basketball.� LeBron offered to speak to young basketball players at the Nothing But Net camp at Richard Stockton College this week, and then entertained them [...]
Coach blames loss on lightning strike
If there's nothing else we've learned from the folks in North Korea, it's that they're not above coming up with outlandish reasons for why things didn't go their way. After losing 2-0 to the United States in their opening match of the 2011 Women's World Cup, North Korean head coach Kwang Min Kim had a reason immediately available about what went wrong for his side.
"When we stayed in Pyongyang during training our players were hit by lightning, and more than five of them were hospitalised," said coach Kim, without naming the affected players specifically.
"Some stayed in hospital and then came to Germany later than the rest of us. The goalkeeper and the four defenders were most affected, and some midfielders as well. The physicians said the players were not capable of participating in the tournament.
"But World Cup football is the most important and significant event for a footballer, so they don't want to think about anything but football.
"The fact that they played could be called abnormal, the result of very strong will."
Hit by lightning? Wow. That's a new one. So either the North Korean players are the biggest gamers around or they have no depth on their roster. Apparently it wasn't good enough that the youngest team in the tournament frustrated one of the favorites for an entire half and generally acquitted themselves well over 90 minutes. Or...they could be making this whole thing up. No one is allowed to watch the North Korean team practice and the players aren't allowed to speak to the media so no one's available to confirm or deny the story. What is undeniable is that the Americans found a little lightning of their own in the second half and hope that it puts a charge in their run through the rest of the tournament. (H/T Dirty Tackle)

A-Rod: Jose Reyes is the "Greatest"
Are the Bronx, New York fans going to call Yankees' star Alex Rodriguez a traitor for saying that a Queens, New York baseball player, Jose Reyes, the "greatest player in the world." The Subway Series, between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, divides the state of New York for at least three days a year (depending if the Mets are any good that year). ESPN New York talked to A-Rod Friday and asked him who he thought was the best MLB player today?
"They have the world's greatest player playing shortstop over there, and the most exciting," Rodriguez said, referring to electrifying New York Mets leadoff hitter Jose Reyes. "I turn on the TV every time I get a chance to watch him." "I'm a huge baseball fan and anytime you see a kid like Reyes, he's very exciting," Rodriguez said Friday afternoon before the game at Citi Field. "If I wasn't playing third base, I'd definitely buy a ticket and try to come all weeke...

Stan Bowman is Creating A New Look and Feel that Could Make the Chicago Blackhawks a Stanley Cup Contender
It hasn?t been a full two years since the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, but already the team has a different look and feel to it.The 2010 off-season brought in a whole wave of change (most of it out of necessity), but even then it didn?t stop. This off-season, ?Hawk fans have already seen three players go that were on the championship winning team.With all this change happening again, one thing that still worries me is team chemistry.As you can see, many faces of the Stanely Cup team are gone.Last season, with all the new guys on the team, it took the ?Hawks a long time to look and feel like they were comfortable with their teammates, and it showed. Coach Joel Quenneville, who?s usually very good at pairing the right men up, actually had trouble finding the right men to pair up.The Blackhawks were a less talented team last season compared to two years ago. Plain and simple. But when players don?t or can?t feel comfortable in the li...
