But we feel the risk is less with a player like Ovechkin

But we feel the risk is less with a player like Ovechkin.” McPhee said “They’d like to come play with him.”. Watching my four year old grandson pile-drive or suplex his Spiderman stuffed toy while playing his version of MMA is a lot of fun.Most children like to emulate their special sports hero’s best moments in the sport, and Trevor is no exception.Grandma Dee is a little concerned for the involvement of Spiderman in an MMA match-up of this sort and wishes for more realistic opponents for the little guy.So if Gr. Dee can find a way to do it, she will make two prototype dolls to test on her grandchildren.Georges St. Pierre and Gina Carano would be the most natural choices, as each one is an outstanding example of the sport’s best.The articulated action figures would have to have all the bulges of their gender covered with a dark permanent paint, because grandma is not a pervert, but does value realism and accuracy.George would have no, or a minimal stubble of hair on his head (this is why Trevor gets his hair buzzed, after all), and Gina would have the sleek, beautiful black blunt “Natasha” hair style, comb-able of course, just like her Red Alert :3  persona.Both would be vocalized.  Gina to say “Ready!” .”Hi, I’m Crush on American Gladiators.”. .” I am Conviction a real life woman MMA fighter!”  And Georges would say all the Georges-isms he is famous for, such as “Ah am not impressed by ‘is performance!”. The Boston Celtics are World Champs Congratulations, and it’s about time.

For the franchise and the fan base that likes to remind everyone just how truly head-and-shoulders the Celtics are above other NBA franchises, it’s about time. Celtic backers are quick to remind anyone and everyone of the great players who have worn the Celtic green and the unparalleled history of the franchise. Seventeen NBA Titles, including a streak of eight in a row that will be very difficult, if not impossible, for any professional franchise to match in the modern era.Add to that the 31 men associated with the franchise currently enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame and the history speaks for itself. The Celtics are the most storied franchise in NBA history. But, how has the model franchise fared in the modern era? This may come as blasphemy to many Celtic fans still drunk from last weeks culmination of a season long journey, but simply put, not that well.In what is widely acknowledged as the NBA’s modern era, or since Magic and Larry first laced up their Forum Blue and Gold and Black Leather Converse respectively, the C’s have hardly lived up to the lofty standards established by their forefathers. From the ‘79-’80 season through the ‘07-’08 Campaign, the Celtics have posted a .572 winning percentage, going 1337-1009. Not bad.But, this includes a 778-830 record, or .509 losing percentage, between the title years of ‘86 and ‘08. The modern era has also seen the Beloved Boys of Beantown turn in 11 losing seasons wrapped around eight straight sub-.500 efforts in a row.

Hardly the foundation upon which great franchises are built. On the Championship front, things have been a bit more positive for the boys in green. Four titles in 30 years? There are franchises that would sell their soul for one title in 30 years Well, maybe not Donald T Sterling But I’m digressing. Making their way through a tough Eastern Conference and simply outplaying, out-hustling, and physically dominating the NBA MVP and a young Lakers team in the Finals should put any arguments to the contrary to rest.But, as we acknowledge the greatness of the ‘07-’08 Celtics, we must also put to rest the notion of historic Celtic Dominance. In the modern era, there are teams with more titles, superior winning percentages, and simply better histories for this fallacy to continue.. “With the 20th pick of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets select…”Does it really matter? (In my best Stephen A. Smith voice)This franchise is in complete disarray right now.  It must be the altitude, or the lack of air, because there is definitely something causing management to make terrible decisions. For a team that desperately needed defense last year, it was inexplicable how they passed on a steal of a deal that would have allowed them to acquire Ron Artest.

And save the “he’s a bad boy talk,” because the guy has been a class act ever since he arrived in Sacramento. Denver was swept in the first round of the playoffs?in large part, due to the inability to guard Kobe Bryant, who shot an unimpressive 40 percent (29-72) in four games versus Artest’s Kings this season. Now, the Nuggets brass finds itself surrounded by tons of pressing questions, and confronted with the uncomfortable reality that this team can very easily fall out of the top eight of the highly competitive Western Conference next season. First problem on the agenda? They have their 24-year-old superstar Carmelo Anthony angry at them because he has been dropped in the midst of trade rumors There’s so many issues with this situation its ridiculous. Carmelo is the face of the franchise, an absolute stud. Steve Kroenke and them boys need to stop acting like players with Carmelo’s talent grow on trees. People tend to forget too easily that he was averaging a smooth 31 points a game along with six rebounds when the brawl went down in New York, and Allen Iverson came to the “rescue”. Despite being paired with one of the most unique and hardest players to ever play the game, Carmelo still put up 25 points and seven rebounds per game. And Nuggets fans know that he battled through a lot of injuries this season.But even if they inexplicably had come to the conclusion that Anthony should be traded, why put his name out there right now? Why not allow Melo to boost up his value playing for team USA, because you know he’s going to play with fire for the red, white, and blue.
