While I was watching a highlight of THE Matt Bonner drain a three at the buzzer before halftime, something dawned on me. How in the world has Matt Bonner gone from completely irrelevant end of the bench warmer to somehow providing the Spurs with a legit 3 pt threat and actually contributing something other then his hilarity as a basketball player? Let me give you a little glimpse into the life of Bonner his last couple of NBA seasons. In 06-07 the man averaged 2.8 minutes, .8 pts, .3 rebounds, 0 assists and .2 steals. In 07-08 his averages improved slightly at 2 pts, 1 assist, 1 rebound, and 4.2 minutes a game. This is what we call basketbawful! This year he has emerged and is averaging 8.2 pts a game, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. He has been in the league only 4 years and I think he is finally coming around to becoming the best player ever, just kidding, but seriously he has come so far. I can see him becoming a Robert Horry type player, hitting big shots when you need them most in the finals. Can you say future Finals MVP!!!! Let us rejoice in the glory that is Matt Bonner.

LeBron James
What is it exactly that Mr. James is saying here. Might he be ready to inform the waiting world that he is ready to embrace his superstar stature and grace New York with his talent? I have my own thoughts on this subject, but I am just too unsure on what he might do. Why leave a Cleveland team that shows real promise to win a NBA Championship, but then again the Knicks have some serious cap space. They have talked about bringing in two another star to compliment James and Stevie Nash as talked about taking a reduced salary to win Championship. Plus the chance to play for D'Antoni and his high paced offensive might just be enough to pry James away from the Cavs. Just think about it, the Knicks would become an instant powerhouse, the highest scoring team in the league, and maybe a defensive threat the way LeBron hustles and gets the most out of his teammates. With that said, I think LBJ should continue to change a diminished culture and join one D.Rose in the Greatest City On Earth CHICAGO!!!!! That's right the Bulls. Now get it done Paxson or you'll be gone, well you might already be on your way out anyway. Thanks for drafting Rose.
