SI tienes un interés aunque sea pequeño en el basketball de la NBA no has podido dejar de
escuchar el nombre Jeremy Lin y es que no es para menos
NY tiene uno de los equipos más tradicionales de las liga, una de las arenas, el Madison Square
Garden que más impone respeto, uno de los mercados televisivos más grandes y uno de los peores
records de los últimos años.
El vídeo que veras a continuación tiene poco en la red y ya supera el millón de visitas. Es que
la estatura de este jugador de basquetbol de Brethren Christian High School en California es
impresionante. Mide 2.26 metros de altura y solo tiene 17 años, es de Senegal y ya el libro de
Guinness esta buscando en su base de datos para ver si lo nombraran el El basquetbolista mas alto
del mundo a nivel de High School, y probablemente de todo el mundo si sigue creciendo y jugando de
manera regular.
Fed-up of a night of Sergio Aguero running in behind the Wigan defence, Latics left-back Maynor
Figueroa came up with a new way of defending Manchester City's counter attacks. After misjudging
the flight of the ball, Figueroa opted for a leaping handball to deny Aguero a clear run on goal.
Referee Chris Foy opted to [.
The MLS SuperDraft is happening live on ESPN2 right now. I went home to get some food and
watched a little bit. The Sporting KC fans are rocking it! They are louder than most basketball
crowds ever get!

Looks like these balls and puck could do the trick. There might be a side-business for Bridgestone,
after tires.
The football and basketball both look like a lot of fun to play with. The puck would definitely
create some bouncy, unexpected play.
We'll have more shortly on Ross Fletcher, the new voice of Sounders FC. But in the meantime you
can enjoy a reel of him calling some soccer (and basketball).
I've written a number of times before about youth soccer referees not wanting to use their
cards. Initially it seemed to be due to the age of players that I coached. But now that my older
girls team is in high school, I haven't seen many more cards, even though I've seen plenty of fouls
to warrant them from opponents AND my own players.
Soccer is unique in contrast to other sports. The clock does count down having a set time for
how long a period lasts. That means to the extent of maybe 20 minutes for hockey to count down
until the next period or 15 minutes for football. With soccer, however, the clock tends to go up
instead of down as anything could happen in a soccer game.

LeBron James picked a team last year. And today, LeBron James has picked a wife. The Miami Heat
superstar proposed to Savannah Brinson, who has been LeBron James' girlfriend since high school.
LeBron and Savannah already have two children together.
Why did LeBron James decide to get engaged now?
Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers can't play basketball right now because he is suspended
for a cheap shot he delivered in the playoffs. He also can't drive. In the month of December,
Andrew Bynum got three driving tickets. THREE!
His first driving ticket was in Culver City and it was for illegally trying to pass another
car.
Editor's note: The MLS partnership with Opta Sports has resulted in richer ways to
understand the performance of the Philadelphia Union and its players through statistical analysis.
PSP's efforts to collect and share match statistics have been enhanced by the deeper analysis
offered by Ford Bohrmann.

We've got a good friend who's a big sports fan, but mostly of the traditional American variety:
primarily basketball and football, both college and pro.
MARIO BALOTELLI!!!
We asked him if he'd ever thought about watching some soccer, and he said what it would take would
be a compelling player for him to follow.

The Bernie Fine situation is getting weirder and weirder. Now, not only has his wife admitted to
Bernie Fine being a child molester, there are rumors going around that there is a Laurie Fine sex
tape in existence. Even better: the Laurie Fine sex video reportedly includes at least one
ex-player who played basketball at Syracuse.
With the NBA season getting the green light thanks to the end of the lockout, a quick offseason
free agent signing period is set to begin on Dec. 9. Who are the best NBA players in free agency?
Here's our top ten NBA free agents:
1. Tyson Chandler
When healthy, Tyson Chandler is a championship caliber defensive force.
American McCarver is a moderately terrible sports blog run by tech journalists and bloggers. And
yet this post just seems to have so much zeitgeist in it:
The point — you were totally expecting a plural there, weren't you? — came an hour
and a quarter into the game, when someone apparently kicked the ball into a net or
something.

If you're a fan of men in tights sitting on each other's faces, then you may be familiar with
this pale-looking chap, if not then let us introduce him. His name is Sheamus, he's a WWE wrestler
and, unlike certain superstar basketball sell-outs we could mention, he's a genuine Liverpool
fan.

Thanks to the lockout, it may be several more months before we ever get to see another NBA game
(come on guys, if the NFL can figure it out, why can't you?) but Nike wants to remind us all that
basketball never stops, even if the pros do.
Well, the good news didn't last for long. Just a day after things were looking up in terms of
the NBA lockout, things took a turn for the worse. The NBA owners and NBA players couldn't agree on
a BRI split and also disagreed on system issues. The result? No more talks scheduled and
commissioner David Stern canceling more games.
Due to the NBA lockout, we are basketball starved. We have to make do with YouTube clips of
games in a faraway land. This clip shows Rudy Fernandez hitting an impossible shot. Check out the
Rudy Fernandez video below.
As you can see in the video, Rudy Fernandez goes around a triple screen and then catches the
ball on the perimeter.
The 2011 ESPN Magazine Body Issue is hitting the shelves soon. In it, there are a number of star
athletes naked. Perhaps the most famous naked athlete this year is reigning NBA Rookie of the Year
Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin naked pictures? Personally, I don't get the point.
What would Blake Griffin get out of appearing naked in ESPN Magazine.

Shot in a docudrama style much like the early 2000′s show, 'MTV Cribs' (R.I.P.), Schweini
(Bayern Munich footballer) went head-to-head with Steffen Hamann (Bayern Munich basketballer) in a
shoot out. Bastian, being the cuter of the two, obviously has an unfair upper hand (see also: Looks
Influences Winning, A Kickette Case Study) and the result is testament to that.
By Chris Wright
Hands up, I've got absolutely no idea what state German professional basketball is in at the
moment, but the fact that Bastian Schweinsteiger is making their players look pretty damn
scheisse is hardly a glowing testament.
Here we see Bayern Munich 'baller Steffen Hamann challenge Schweini to a spot of rock-chucking
(or whatever the kids call it these days), only to be soundly thrashed at his own game including a
little football/basketball hybrid trickshot to cap the spanking.
There's a slick new Adidas Derrick Rose commercial. The commercial introduces the NBA's reigning
MVP's latest shoe: the adiZero Rose 2. Even though there is an NBA lockout, that hasn't stopped
shoe companies looking to expand their brand.
And really, this commercial is tight. The concept is Derrick Rose taking on a series of
bullfighters.

'Like basketball' was Sir Alex's assessment of the assorted hijinks at Old Trafford yesterday
afternoon and it's hard to fault him on that one four decent goals, relentless end-to-end football,
insane open-goal misses, fluffed penalties, hideous tackles: there wasn't an awful lot missing,
save for a troupe of can-canning burlesque chimpanzees but you can't have it all, now can you?

Shawn Marion must be floating on cloud nine right about now. In the NBA playoffs, he played
extremely well and helped lead the Dallas Mavericks to the franchise's first NBA championship. Now
that he's a star, he can turn down opportunities others would die for. That's what happened when
"Dancing with the Stars" came calling.
The NBA players got a small victory recently when FIBA ruled that they will be able to play
overseas during the NBA lockout. The owners surely would have loved for FIBA to rule against the
players but the international body will allow the exodus.
However, there is a catch. If an NBA player gets hurt overseas, he could jeopardize his NBA
contract.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber has been at the forefront of the growth and success of Major League
Soccer.
On the eve of the Major League Soccer All-Star game, Garber sits down with Michael Fensom of the
Star Ledger and insists the league must pay careful attention to its growth strategy as it
continues to evolve and capture the interest of soccer fans across the United States and
internationally.
Hi guys, back from a couple of days break from Spanish Football Sports, & I find some great news in
the Basketball area, with SPAIN defeating ITALY 82 - 70 to proclaim themselves U-20 Basketball
European Champions. Spanish U-20 Basketball Details: Spain 82 (17+25+26+14): Franch (19), Pozas
(5), Sastre (-), Llovet (3), Mirotic (29) -quinteto inicial-; Simeón (-), Barrera (10), Arévalo

A couple of months ago, I made the point that football matches see more goals in the second than
the first half. That is, the odds of either team scoring a goal increase over the course of the
average match. I forgot about that fact until a few days ago, when I was talking to a friend about
the hot hand phenomenon in basketball.
There's a new soccer brand on the scene with a focus on player protection. It is New York-based
Storelli Sports. Storelli's initial range consists of a series of soccer-specific products similar
to the Nike Pro Combat protective baselayer gear for American football and basketball. According to
the firm their products are designed to maximize protection, flexibility [.

It's that time of year again. The time when the giraffes from the NBA do battle against the best
soccer players Vancouver Whitecaps co-owner Steve Nash --which is how he will be referred to from
now on-- can muster in a park below Houston St. in NYC. The Showdown in Chinatown is tomorrow and
as per usual I'm gonna be all up in it like Bennett.

I don't really remember why Steve Nash is a Pies hero, other than the fact that he is what
enlightened scholars tend to refer to as a 'massive dude'.
Any road up, here he showing us his favourite freestyle basketball/football hybrid trickshot in

Occasionally, there's a debate among fans just how far soccer has come in the United States. It's
clearly more popular than ever, and the country now boasts a league that, according to some scouts,
is on par with the English Championship (Division 2). Another way to chart the progress of soccer
in the U.
The basketball gods are smiling on Cleveland again. After losing LeBron James to the Miami Heat
in free agency in a bitter divorce, the basketball gods made things right again by giving the
Cleveland Cavaliers the top choice in the 2011 NBA Draft. The Minnesota Timberwolves will draft
second, while the Utah Jazz get the third pick.
