In what has been a compelling and close series featuring three superstars (Dirk, LeBron and DWade, Sorry Chris Bosh, you’ll never be a legit superstar) between the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat, it seems all anyone is talking about today is wha…
With the UFC showcasing a “boxer vs. MMA fighter” bout on August 28 between James Toney and Randy Couture, and the impending signing of former WWE superstar Dave Bautista by Strikeforce, I thought it would be cool to put together a Top 5 (yeah, 5, because of the Nickel) list of athletes I’d like to [...]

Bommmmmm He included this picture of the cookies:Chocolate chipI guess, after a tough loss which they seemingly had in the bag, even a superstar just needs some comfort food.
Closing thoughts: I overestimated Wade’s ability to completely lead this team to victory. He finished with 26.. One problem. Quentin Richardson showed up with 15, but no one else scored more than 8. the crazy ending with the mini-fight breaking out makes me hopeful this series turns into something with some energy and passion/urgency.. FINAL: [...]
