Basketball and More


Hello. This blog is about basketball, and other pointless things that arouse my interest...
Well, right now is the summer, and the NBA Draft as well as the Finals are over. So, the only thing exciting right now going on are the trade rumors and the summer league. However, also going on right now, actually this moment is the first day of the Olympic Qualification tournament between 12 national teams competing for 3 spots in this year's Beijing Olympics, starting August 8. Well, some NBA players such as Dirk Nowitzki (Germany) as well as Carlos Arroyo (Puerto Rico) are participating in this tournament. Well, the Orlando Summer League is over and now the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is going on. So far, young talent has shined. You can watch the games live via webcast on www.nba.com. Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings has claimed that he will stay with his current franchise but then quickly stated in contradiction that he wants to be with a team that will be more enthusiastic in wanting him, possibly the LA Lakers. As we all know, Richard Jefferson is now with the Milwaukee Bucks, Yi Jianlian with the New Jersey Nets, Jermaine O'Neal with the Toronto Raptors, TJ Ford with the Pacers, Corey Maggette with the Golden State Warriors, Elton Brand with the Philidelphia 76ers, and Baron Davis with the LA Clippers.
