I consider Leandro Barbosa as the fastest man in the NBA. He gets into transition faster than a car and most importantly he converts majority of his drives to the basket. He has the complete package to be a dominant scorer in the NBA as he has no surprisingly …

The St. Louis Rams are trying to determine if Lamar Gordon may be the eventual successor of their present running back Marshall Faulk. Although he was harrassed with injuries throughout 2003, the early returns have been very promising for Rams fans. The ‘02 third-rounder has shown explosiveness into the …

Another player that Coach and General Manager of the New York Knicks signed to a stupid and bloated contract is forward Jared Jeffries. Mind you i think he is a very good player if he was given enough training and discipline by the Knicks organization. While playing for the …

The New Jersey Nets once seemed to have it all in the eastern conference of the NBA. They had the speed, the big shot ability, Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin… what more could a team ask for? Kenyon, the six foot nine forward out of Cincinnati, was an incredibly …

ZaZa Pachulia of the Atlanta Hawks started his career with the Orlando Magic. He was a valuable reserve for them but back then his skills are highly underdeveloped. He had a very raw game he often had very little to no playing time at all. On his last season …

Affectionately known as the Springboks, the South African national rugby team is the pride and joy of our nation and their second world cup win makes me truly proud to be a South African indeed.
While we have potential in our soccer team, and a great cricket team, it is …

The Orlando Magic offseason so far has been uneventful. During the ‘06 NBA Draft the Magic selected J.J Redick, a deadshot 3 point shooter from Duke university. The pick should be highly justified since the team in all likelihood will lose SG Deshawn Stevenson to Free Agency this summer. …

Scotty 2 Hotty is best known for his tenure spent with the legendary and iconic World Wrestling Entertainment as both a singles competitor in the light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions and as a tag team and faction wrestler as a main part of the “Too Cool” faction with former …

Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem is their team’s version of a hustle guy. Haslem is one of the league’s hardest working players and often helps his team win with his ability to defend and go after loose-balls. His specialty is in rebounding the ball both offensively and defensively and defending …

I admit that I am not a boxing fan. Whenever my father and brother watch a boxing match, I never watch it with them. I haven’t seen any boxing match until last May 2, 2009 when professional boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fought Ricky”The Hitman” Hatton. The fight was called …

Every time i enter ESPN.com to try and find latest news on my favorite NBA team i get disappointed. I hate the fact that they give you a sort of “teaser” to important up to date articles that they have. I know that paying for an INSIDER account is …

The Palms at Sanctuary Cove in Robina, Queensland, less than half an hour from the city center, is one of two courses in the property, the other being The Pines, a longer and tougher course where pro tournaments are played. The course is definitely upscale and charming, and …

Women’s Snowboard Cross at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was quite fun. The qualifying was boring, but the heats were much more exciting.

This review is about the Pro V1 golfballs. In golf, the Titleist Pro V1 are the best of the balls. Everyone talks about them and everbody plays them, but what about these balls is so special.
You have probably heard that they are soft. Okay, thats good. A soft ball …

Right now as a rookie for the Milwaukee Bucks, Yi Jianlin has so far looked so pedestrian to me. He certainly got game but it will need at least a good 2-3 seasons before the Bucks will fully reap the benefits of drafting him with a top 5 pick …

Pat Garrity of the Orlando Magic is one of the best shooters in the game today. The only problem is that’s about the only thing he does on a basketball court. He contributes very little on other aspects of the game and his vigor to improve himself has slowly …

Former Denver Nuggets All-star Antonio Mcdyess who now dons the Detroit Pistons Jersey was one of those annointed as the next line of superstars that would carry the league for years to come. Unfortunately for Mcdyess, he injured his knee and was relegated to a lot of rehabilitation and …

Shareer Abdur-Rhaim sounds more like a name you’ll find on the “No Fly” list than one you’d find on an NBA roster. But all jokes in horribly bad taste aside, this six foot nine inch forward who played college ball in California, has been burning the league for for …

Recently acquired by the Houston Rockets, Shane Battier is the NBA?s version of a workhorse. He often does the dirty things and at times be very functional on offense. Came from a solid organization under the tutelage of Mike kzywzyski at Duke University, Battier has taken the role …

I look around the Kansas City Chiefs roster and I do not see much that resembles talent. The Chiefts have succeeded these past few years with a solid running attack. Now that that’s gone, I don’t see much they can do. With a receiving core that nobody has ever …

I do love the Winter Olympics, and one of the first events is the Short Track - Men’s 1500m. I have to say that just watching these men skate makes me dizzy. Going around and around on the short track takes such concentration and focus. I …

I have Amir Johnson of the Detroit Pistons as a player that has a tremendous upside in this league. He has all of the necessary tools and physical attributes to be a dominant player someday. Although still quite young, Johnson has made some strides in his game. After a …

Heading into the pre-season the talk out of Minnesota was how Brett Favre would come out of retirement again and would likely quarterback the Vikings next year. Favre decided to stay retired so it’s time to look at where Minnesota now stands with training camps now on the way. …

The NASCAR 2009 Shelby 427 Sprint Cup Race was a caution-filled race that still managed to have some nice surprises. Things I liked or disliked included:
–Italian Max Papis was so happy to be starting his first oval-track race. He’s long been used as a ‘ringer’ for the …

The Arizona Cardinals finished eight and eight season with newly acquired head coach Ken Whisenhunt. Firing Dennis Green last year, the Cardinals needed a coach with both a mind for the game and a flare for offensive production. Though it’s usually the defense of a team that wins ball …

Baltimore’s ravenous linbacker was crowned as the NFL’s top defensive player in 2003, winning Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second time in his distinguished eight-year career. He has the speed to easily play from sideline to sideline, and is a sure tackler. Ray Lewis can be …

Out of the box …

Mike Dunleavy who was also acquired through that trade from the Golden State Warriors last year along with Ike Diogu and Troy Murphy for Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson has played really well this year for the Indiana Pacers. His game so far this year has really been impressive. …

Fayetteville State is probably not well known for producing hordes of NBA talent. The NCAA mens basketball team did however produce a great prospect around thirteeen years ago. Darrell Armstrong, the six foot one inch point guard, is best known for his few years of greatness with the Orlando …

After getting this barrel, I was kind of frustrated that I didn’t get the quick line thread. I constantly am changing between barrels, and every once in a while I’ll need to take the flatline barrel off, which is a complete pain because sometimes it requires completely disassembling my …

Jared Dudley of the Charlotte Bobcats is there version of an Ira Newble or a Greg Buckner or even a Josh Boone. Players who plays a very similar type of game(even the hairdo is the same). Their calling card is this: 6-8 player that plays hard every night and …

Growing up as a South African soccer lover and follower, as is the local trend, most supporters have a tendency to adopt a local team (of course) as well as one overseas team, usually from the Barclays Premiership as this is the one league that has been the most …

I was watching an NBA basketball game last year and all of the sudden I heard an earth shaking scream. It quickly caught my attention and i looked up to see this beast of a man hanging on the rim after dunking over top of someone. Luol Deng, the …

Tracy Mcgrady of the Houston Rockets is capable of doing what only a few elite in the league can, and that is to take over a game with utmost terror!! When not bothered with his bad back T-mac should be the league?s best scorer. The only hindrance to his …

My personal experience of the High Performance Sports Development Centre is one of a supremely impressed sports person!
During my varsity days, very recently, I was playing football for one of the residential university house league teams, at the University of Pretoria, and during that time I had the privilege …

As an avid Cardinals fan that is excited about the upcoming 2012 season, I would first like to look back at the previous season. It had so many ups and downs and ultimately ended in grand fashion. In mid-August it looked like they would be competing for third place …

It’s short track racing again for the 43 drivers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Rain had washed out practices and qualifying on Friday and Saturday, so the track was raw as the race began. By virtue of being the points leader, Jeff Gordon was on the …

It’s hard to draw any real conclusions from a team scrimmage (I’m reserving final judgement for preseason) but, from what I did see, the team looks much sharper than it did at this time last year.
Brett Favre was very accurate during the scrimmage and even managed to throw for …

I honestly do think that Austin Croshere is one of the wasted talents in the NBA. I really don’t know what happened to Austin in his stay with the Indiana Pacers which he played for the first seven years in his NBA career. The first time Austin played in …

In the Purefoods TJ Giant’s current line-up, there is no more exciting player to watch then Peter June Simon. He is, in my opinion, the most effective guard in the league today.
Simon is a testimony of hard-work, discipline and perseverance. In his early years as a professional basketball …

After the much awaited match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto has come to an end, I’m inclined to write about Cotto out of sheer admiration for the guy. As a Filipino, I was for Pacquiao all throughout the match and would even scream and raise a fist everytime …

Kenny Thomas of the Sacramento Kings has noticeable lost some edge to his game this season so far. He has been lost deep in the bench and averages only a few minutes a game for new head coach Reggie Theus. When he first started out his career with …

When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …

Used mostly by lady and the older players of tennis. The Wilson Triad 2 has a large headsize of 118sq. inches that creates unbelievable power. As a tennis enthusiast, i buy and demo multiple rackets. I tried this one and found it too powerful for my liking. It compromises …

Whenever I catch a glimpse of Liverpool in action these days, I get a bit sad that one of our greatest rivals has succumbed to being reduced to an ordinary team, and as an Arsenal fan, contending with the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in addition …

Since I am one of those football followers who love to see a bit a skill and flair, Lionel Messi would naturally be one of the players I admire the most and watching him in action and analysing his game is always a nice activity to get into. I …
