*What is the purpose of Lebron James doing a TV show to announce his destination?  I guess because he can, and because he has a huge ego, but wouldn’t it be silly if he’s going to announce he’s staying? If he is leaving…I think it has to be to the Knicks.  They already have Stoudemire, which helps. I will be watching this TV extravaganza, but I’m getting tired of Lebron and it is making my fandom grow stronger for Kobe Bryant.

I may be in the minority, but I think Allen Iverson still has one more run in him. Back in the ’07-’08 season he averaged 26.4 points per game and played over 41 minutes per night. He was put in three bad situations the last two seasons. He was stuck on the bench in Detroit and Memphis, and then played on a team with no identity, the Philadelphia 76ers, last year.  Plus, he dealt with family issues as well and decided to stop playing. Memphis and Detroit wanted to develop other players instead of giving minutes to Iverson and he hasn’t found a good fit anywhere else.  However, I have found the perfect fit…The CHARLOTTE BOBCATS! Here are my five reasons why Charlotte should be the destination for an aging player who was once the MVP and scoring leader in the NBA.  I still believe he has the ability to overcome some “issues” and redeem himself with the Bobcats.

Thoughts from the NBA Conference Finals...

-Rajon Rondo has shown once again he's a great player, but is he really a franchise type point guard? Can you build a team around him? He's surrounded by good players and he may even be the best on the team right now...but when the "Big Three" move on...will he still be great? I would still take Deron Williams, Steph Curry, Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings, Derrick Rose and Chris Paul before Rondo. I do love Rondo, but not sure if he's a good enough leader or the type of guy that can take over a game night in night, out.

-Kobe Bryant is not too old just yet. He can still take over whenever he wants and he's even shown he can rebound when he has to. It was so cool to see in last night's game Kobe and Fisher "coaching" the team during a timeout. I know they didn't win the game, but it is so valuable to have two players like them. I can't wait to see Kobe get revenge on the Celtics. First he gets to eliminate the Suns after years of losing to them and then he gets an opportunity for vindication against the Celtics.

-It's crazy to think that the guys who were the young stars during the post-Jordan era are now the veterans of the league. KG, Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, Kobe, Ray Allen, and even Grant Hill. The league was "down" right after Michael Jordan left because there weren't enough solid veterans carrying the league, but now the NBA has those veterans as well as great young talent. Even though the playoffs haven't had a ton of close games...the league is still strong with fun players to watch from top to bottom.

-Dwight Howard and Amare Stoudamire are very similar. They both lack the inside moves that could help make them more dominant offensively. The league used to have so many good big men that could score in multiple ways. These two only like and know how to dunk. If they want to lead a team that wins in the NBA Finals, I think they need to watch Pau Gasol and learn some of his offensive moves!

-The league is looking for the next crop of great coaches because Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Jerry Sloan, Greg Popovich only have so many years left. It's hard for me to believe that Stan Van Gundy will get to that level, but I don't know who else it will be. I like Scott Skiles and Scott Brooks as well as Alvin Gentry, but they have to do it consistently. It's going to be interesting to see if any new young coaches can come in the next couple of years and start turning some heads. My best bet would be on Brian Shaw, Sam Cassell, or Dan Majerle. You also have the retread coaches that will try and prove to people they are legit such as Avery Johnson, Byron Scott, and Sam Mitchell.

-I'm excited to see a Lakers-Celtics rematch. I was rooting for Kobe vs. Lebron, but with the way the Celtics are playing right now...this will be an epic NBA Finals! Go Lakers!

1) Must be a real jersey replica with the correct team colors.....no pink uniforms, gems, stones, or crazy colors etc.

2) No third-party uniforms should be present at a game....only the two teams playing on that day should be represented in the crowd.

3) No personalized names on the back.......Only Steve Smith's name appears on the Panthers #89 jersey...you haven't earned a name on the back of the jersey!

4) No out-dated uniforms......jerseys must represent current players on the team when you are at a game. It's silly to wear a Kerry Collins jersey when he hasn't been on the Panthers in forever. A retired player's jersey is acceptable in public though...however no Julius Peppers or Chris Harris Panther jerseys.
