Random Basketball thoughts...

Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle said today on ESPN that Dirk Nowitzki was "one of the Top 10 players in NBA HISTORY". Easy now Big Fella, I know he is the MVP of this years playoffs so far but that is it. He is barely in the Top 10 in today's game. You must have forgotten about Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Dr J, Kobe, Shaq, Moses, Mikan, Robertson, Reed plus a fella named Jordan to name a few. He may be on an updated Top 50 list but Top 10, please give me some of what your smoking.

LA Lakers hire Mike Brown = Goodbye Triangle Hello Defense. Showtime has left the building

The Penn State Head Basketball coach left to be the Head Coach of NAVY. I thought it was supposed to be moving from a barely mid major like Navy to Penn State. He was not forced out and I don't remember when Penn State was in the big dance last until this past season. Shows me that Penn State is no where committed to making the round ball a priority and the Big Ten Conference is on the decline.
