What is going on with these teams anyway? The Mavericks, Knicks, and Trail Blazers are fighting, that is right, fighting to sign Jason Kidd. Why? He will be a basketball grandpa age of 37 next year and how is he supposed to keep up with the speedy young guards if his team makes the playoffs?
Jason Kidd will be in the Hall of Fame and there is no questioning that at all, but he will be there for piling up stats like the rest of us …read more

Darius Miles wanted to play and Portland will pay, but he won’t play for Portland. Darius will play for Memphis.
Confused?
Portland released Darius saying he was medically ineligible, but if he plays 10 games for anyone then Portland is on the hook for 18 million bucks. Portland’s owner even sent out a mass e-mail to all the NBA owners not to sign Darius. That did not sit too well with a lot of owners.
Miles was signed by the Grizzlies as a free agent on Dec. 13 …read more

Greg Oden is a big man with great skills on the hardwood.
After sitting out a year with injury, Greg Oden is starting to have the type of games everyone thought he would.
Oden put on a show down low, violently shaking the basket standard and shot clock with five two-handed dunks in the second half, including a thunderous rebound slam with 6:01 to play that pulled Portland to 94-91. But the Warriors twice knocked the ball out of Oden’s hands while he wound up to dunk in the final …read more

You would think it is the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain or would that be Arvydas Sybonis? Look that one up younger sports readers.
Portland is going crazy over Greg Oden. Anything he does is big news.
Greg sprained his ankle in practice. You would have thought the stock market crashed. Oh, that’s right, the stock market did crash.
Bad analogy.
You would have thought your grandma fell down and broke her hip or something. (hope she didn’t)
The frenzy over his ankle baffled …read more

Rudy Fernandez
The Blazers purchased the rights to Rudy Fernandez from Phoenix.
Rudy will actually make less money to play in the NBA than if he had stayed in Europe. If you flash back to the Olympics, Rudy was an outstanding player for Spain, the Olympic silver medalists.
Fernandez has been a huge surprise in early games with his ability to make precise passes to teammates. In one game he threw two passes between a defender’s legs.
The Blazers knew Rudy could score and were claiming …read more

Greg Oden
Last year the Portland fans went crazy when the team drafted Greg Oden from Ohio State.
Greg had led the Ohio State basketball team to the NCAA finals and dominated everyone along the way. He is the best big man to hit the NBA in a long time. He has the size and the beginnings of having the moves.
Will Greg be the new Shaquille O’Neal? That is a tough bill to live up to for anyone. We do know Greg will provide …read more
