The Vince Carter Trade: Ok, getting Vince Carter is good. But losing Courtney Lee and forcing Turkoglu out of town as a result of it isn't good. I would rather have Lee and Turkoglu than Carter. So, to me, Orlando is now worse. This is a downgrade. New Jersey's still not a very good team.
The Richard Jefferson Trade: Plain and simple, this was a steal for the Spurs. They got younger, and now have 4 guys who can fill it up. The Spurs are very close to being able to win another title. They need to add one more quality center. They don't have enough height on their roster right now. The Bucks just wanted to save money.
The Shaq Trade: Great trade for the Cavs. Shaq can slow down Dwight Howard if the Cavs meet the Magic again in the playoffs. Shaq can get a bucket on his own, and take pressure off LeBron. Shaq even still commands a double team, at times. There's no serious commitment to Shaq either, because he only has 1 year left on his deal. Awesome trade for Cleveland. The Suns also just wanted to save money.

Pat Burrell had hit 251 home runs up to this year, and obviously hadn't hit any against a team with "Philadelphia" tagged in front of its team name, since drafted 1st overall by the team in 1998. Up until now.
Burrell blasted a 2-run homer in the 2nd inning of the Phillies-Rays World Series rematch from last year, at Tropicana Field, scoring Carlos Pena and giving the Rays (not to be confused with the "Devil Rays" of extinction, formerly) an early lead that would bulster. The wheels came off in the bottom of the 8th when middle reliever JC Romero gave up 4 hits, a walk & a hit batter in his outing.
Jimmy Rollins continued to struggle with the bat. He went 0-4 tonight, lowering his average, to .211- barely over the mendoza line. He'll look for another chance to pick his game up, tomorrow night vs. Andy Sonnanstine.

1. Larry Bird: 3 titles, 3 straight MVP awards, and countless clutch shooting moments.
2. Scottie Pippen: 6 titles. The best sidekick ever. One of the best perimeter defenders ever.
3. Elgin Baylor: Averaged 27.4 pp and 13.5 rpg, and a truly dominant scorer, but could never beat the Celtics.
4. Julius Erving: One of the best finishers and dunkers ever. Extremely athletic. His ABA career was dominant too. 1 title.
5. John Havlicek: 8 titles. Coming off the bench or starting, he could score from anywhere.
6. LeBron James (still rising): Career averages of 27.5 ppg, 7.0 rpg, and 6.7 apg, youngest player to 10,000 points.

3. Jerry West: "The Logo" "Mr. Clutch" Outstanding shooter. Won 1 title.
4. Allen Iverson: Scored in bunches. Unbelievable what he did at his size. Couldn't be stopped from getting to the rim.

6. Clyde Drexler: One of the best finishers on a fast break ever. Won 1 title.
7. Reggie Miller: Currently the 3 point king. Amazing at running off screens and catching and shooting. Clutch.

1. Magic Johnson: Won 5 titles, is 4th all time in assists with over 10,000, and was the best ever at running the fast break.
2. John Stockton: The NBA's all time leader in assists (almost 16,000) and steals (over 3,000). Ultra durable & consistent. Destroyed teams with the pick and roll.
3. Bob Cousy: Won 6 titles with the NBA's best dynasty, and led the league in assists 8 straight years. Revolutionized passing.
4. Oscar Robertson: Once averaged a triple-double in a single season, and over his first 5 years, averaged 30.3 ppg, 10.6 apg, and 10.4 rpg as well. 5th all time in assists with almost 10,000. A great post up point guard, and won 1 title.
5. Isiah Thomas: Won back to back titles in 1989 and 1990, and could score from anywhere on the court. Extremely tough and great defender. 6th all time in assists with over 9,000.
