NBA Playoffs part 2

The anticipated sequel to the first part in which I published back in June, this time showing the second half of the playoffs. Once again living up to his expectations xfactor541 (his youtube account name) has pulled out all the stocks, enjoy!

Yet another rumour this time about Dwight Howard,

 Howard said “I’m not at liberty to talk about it, but there’s a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball", Howard went on to say ‘The big thing for me is not giving too much information away, but at the same time I still need to let people know what’s going on with me,’ Howard said, according to The Associated Press. ‘I don’t want to just sit over here and forget about basketball and waste, you know, opportunities for me to get better.

Seems like Howard really is thinking about going overseas which is understandable for someone his age who wants to play while they can.

Kobe playing overseas?

Los Angeles Lakers guard and five time NBA champion Kobe Byant has added himself to the list of players flirting with the possibility of playing overseas.

Reuters reports: “The Los Angeles Lakers guard has been linked with a move to Turkish team Besiktas but said he had not made up his mind because of the uncertainty over the NBA. ‘One thing about basketball is that it is a global sport now,’ Bryant told Reuters in an interview. ‘So you can play anywhere you want to. As far as myself, I just train. I just train and be prepared for anybody that calls.’

Kobe is also looking into playing in an All-star tour of Asia, whether he's in Europe or China it would be great to see Kobe play next year.

Ron Artest not going to England

Ron Artest wont be jumping across the pond any time soon.

In a phone interview with ESPNLosAngles.com, Bauman said a deal is far from reality at this point after plans to play for Cheshire Jets or Glasgow rocks while filiming a movie in England.


“I told him, ‘Ron, the league over there is not strong enough to really give you the competition that you want. Even though that makes sense from a (convenience standpoint), it doesn’t make sense from a basketball perspective.”

Buman goes on to say
“England is probably the 10th or 12th best league in Europe. That isn’t going to make sense. If we do Europe, it’s going to be Israel, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Italy or maybe France. … When we spoke about the lockout, Ron said, ‘Find me the best teams.’

Well even though my hopes have been dashed atleast the BBL got some publicity

Dwight Howard to play in Spain?

Adding to the list of speculated moves to Europe, Orlando magic star Dwight Howard was touring in spain and showed interest in playing there when talking to the press.

Málaga Hoy reported

The NBA is experiencing a crisis because of the lockout (players’ strike that threatens the start of the league in October) What is your opinion? “I think most players agree. I hope they fix the situation as soon as possible to avoid losing a game of the season. The NBA is a global competition followed by millions of viewers and should not pass things like this.”

If the lockout continues, Unicaja needs a player to strengthen the paint area … “It would be fun to play at Unicaja, it sure would be a great experience for me. If the break does not stop I would come to Europe to continue to improve on a great team to end the lockout when ready.”

Looking like an interesting European season next year

Lebron James dunking on a kid!

Funniest video I have seen in time! Leron taking his anger out on an unlucky camper! (although he's now famous thanks to Lebron)

Ron Artest making a jump across the pond?

6'8 Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest listed the countries he like to play in on twitter during the NBA lockout. The UK was on his list, shortly after that he got tweets from BBL teams Glasgow rocks and Cheshire Jets, Ron Artest tweeted 'I think I might play for jets in uk!!!! Can't wait!!!!'. Although his agent is looking at other countries would be great to see him come to the UK!

With players like Luol Deng saying they wanna play in Europe during the lockout and Deron Williams set to sign a contract with Turkish team Besiktas it looks like players might be following a trend here.

What do you think?
