Joakim Noah getting his putt on, at the annual Chicago Bulls charity golf tournament. The photo is just too hilarious not to go caption crazy for. It’s worth noting that Noah is cool, most of the time but leaning over using a putter a foot too short has to bring a smile to Bill Murray. Maybe Noah didn’t intend to have his picture taken. The guy behind Noah is wondering if he can get some Le Coq Sportifs in his size. Noah was at least color coordinated.

Michael Jordan wears #12!(time capsule)

The Truth Sports takes a trip back in time when the NBA was a tad rougher, and some players wore shorts we now call “daisy dukes”!
February, 1990-Reggie Miller’s jersey was stolen from the Eastern Conference dressing room after the 1990 All-Star Game at Miami Arena. Then a thief pulled off the coup de grace at Orlando Arena on the following Wednesday, when he/she swiped Michael Jordan’s famous No. 23 before the Chicago-Magic game.
Someone slipped into the Bulls’ dressing room about 5:30 p.m. and stole Jordan’s jersey for the first time ever. An alert was sounded, and drastic measures taken. Orlando Arena officials sealed off the building about 6 o’clock, and departing employees were searched. The jersey was not found.
Then someone spotted a kid in the stands wearing a Jordan jersey. He had a likely story: He was a Bulls fans and bought the jersey at a sporting-goods store. The authorities apparently believed him, but they took the jersey to Jordan anyway. It was too small, so His Airness was given the a jersey with the number 12, and had the name removed off the back. Michael scored 49 points, a Bulls record for players wearing that number, but the Bulls lost in overtime. I have read that Sam Vincent gave up his jersey, but he wore the number 11, and even more interesting, Sam was traded to Orlando before the trade deadline… weird!
Jordan was none too pleased about the heist. After the jersey was stolen, he sent out word that he would not sign any autographs in Orlando, and he held true to his word. “It’s pretty irritating because you’re accustomed to certain things and you don’t like to have things misplaced,” he said.
The jersey has yet to appear to this day, and if located could be worth a small fortune. A pair of legitimately obtained Jordan game shorts sold for $15,000 at an Orlando auction back in 1990.
Peep the video of the game:
Hall of Fame Enshrinement Class of 2010: Scottie Pippen

If you look up “complement” in the dictionary a picture of Scottie Pippen should sit next to it. The wingman, Robin, peanut butter to Jordan’s jelly, all describe the player that Scottie Pippen was.
Without Pippen there would have been no 6 championships. The player that he was has often been sought out by teams looking to complement their best player. Pippen was a 7-time All-Defensive first team selection, and not many wing men carry that accomplishment.
Scottie Pippen was a seven-time NBA All-Star (1990, 1992-97) and a member of six NBA championship teams with the Chicago Bulls (1991-93, 1996-98). He was a three-time All-NBA first team honoree and was voted to the NBA All-Defensive first team from 1992-99, along with two stints on the All-Defensive second team. Pippen won two Olympic gold medals as he was a member of the 1992 USA Basketball “Dream Team” and returned to help lead the USA to gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
He won NBA All-Star MVP honors in 1994. Pippen also played with the Houston Rockets (1998-99) and Portland Trail Blazers (1999-2003). He is a native of Hamburg, Arkansas and played collegiately at the University of Central Arkansas (1983-87).

NBA Free Agency: Day 10

After the whirlwind that the Miami Heat built up on Thursday, the rest of the NBA has got back to business. Teams have begun filling out the remaining of there rosters with mid-level talent.
The Blazers have signed Jazz shooting guard Wesley Matthews to a five-year, $34 million, according to a league source.
Utah now has seven days to match. Matthews played in all 82 games last season as a rookie, when he made the team as an unrestricted free agent.
He started 48 games and averaged 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. The Blazers have been relatively quiet during free-agency but the addition of Matthews gives them more defensive weapons and I’m sure Matthews will fit in nicely under Nate McMillian’s system.
But $34 mill is a bit much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Kyle Korver agreed to a three-year, $15 million deal on Friday the Bulls signed Redick to a $20 million, three-year offer sheet, but the Magic have 7 days to match, and it appears they will.
The additions of two
perimeter players indicates that they will be launching from deep at a rapid rate.
New head coach Tom Thibodeau is defensive minded, but his most recent stint as assistant coach in Boston has made him accustomed to three point shooting as a constant offensive tactic. Hopefully Orlando won’t
NBA Free Agency: Day 7

Yesterday LeBron announced he would reveal his destination Thursday at 9pm ET, on ESPN. His announcement would be a 1-hour broadcast and the proceeds would go to the Boys and Girls Club of America. James will announce his future NBA plans within the first 10 minutes of the special, ESPN said.
The other two members of the Free-Agent Summit chose to make their decision known a day earlier on ESPN as well.
Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will join forces in Miami. No contract details have surface yet, but with the signing deadline tomorrow the numbers will be made available.
Chris Bosh leaves the Toronto Raptors where last season, Bosh registered career highs in scoring (24 points per game), rebounding (10.8 average) and field-goal percentage (51.8).
“We’ve wanted to play with each other and we have a golden opportunity to do that. We’re going to take advantage of it,” Bosh said on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”
Wade, 28, said it was difficult to turn down the chance to play in Chicago, where he grew up. But in the end, an opportunity to play with the 26-year-old Bosh and build a title contender in Miami with the two in the prime of their careers won out over his desire to play in his hometown, Wade said. “Now we can get on the pace of building a championship,” he said.
The Heat have only four veterans on their roster, along with four second-round draft picks, and they need to find at least five warm bodies with the remaining $12 million in cap room they have.

As For the Love of LeBron James™ continues,
The Chicago Bulls with the assistance from the Leo Burnett agency, on Monday sent to LeBron’s house the classic red, white and black Air Jordans and asked if he could fill those shoes. Tuesday it was a case featuring seven empty ring boxes, representing one more championship than Jordan won here, and the question, “Can you fill these boxes?”
Figuring the biggest hurdle — and potential advantage — to winning him for Chicago was the legacy of Bulls’ superstar Jordan, they got together with a creative team from the agency and decided to appeal directly to James’ competitive spirit: Challenge him to outdo even Jordan, who always loved a good challenge himself.
A tad overwhelming by the Bulls in their attempt to get LeBron to Chicago. So many players are routinely compared to “His Airness” but playing for the Bulls puts the scrutiny directly on LeBron’s shoulders. Its like R&B singer Usher getting a sequined glove from Michael Jackson, with an attached note. “Can you feel these gloves?” The Bulls may have scared off the King with this one.
For the Love of LeBron James.

With the start of the NBA’s free-agent period just three days away, details are starting to emerge about the meetings LeBron James will hold with potential suitors Thursday, when all parties can begin talking.
According to sources and media reports, the meetings with James will take place in northeast Ohio near — but not at — his suburban Akron home. The Bulls, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Clippers are expected to make pitches to James. There also was talk Sunday that the Dallas Mavericks, who are over the salary cap and only could acquire James through a sign-and-trade, want to make a presentation as well.
The Knicks have the most cap space of all the teams. They can get $34.15 million under the projected cap of $56.1 million. Next up are the Bulls, who can get roughly $29.1 million under the salary cap, followed by the Heat ($27.6 million) and the Nets ($27 million).
Just think if LeBron was to have cameras present, he could turn the entire process into a critically acclaimed reality show. Or LeBron could have each team compete in challenges (VH1 style) and prove which one really is up to the task of aiding James to a championship. Each team that proved its worth, would stepped down and receive a game ball, meaning they were still in the running towards~proving their love to LeBron. Teams that failed would be told by LeBron “You have fouled out, please return to the locker room and collect your things”. ” I have no love for you”.
This show would squash the entire Summer lineup on ABC by the way!
