Lebron James and Dwayne Wade Are Truly Classless!

Dirk Nowitzki was sick when Game 4 started. He played his heart out and his team won, despite the good health of Miami's arrogant Big Three.

Before Game 5 started, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James has the gall to make fun of Dirk's toughness.

All I can say is... there's a reason why the Heat are down 2-3 to the Mavs.

If Dallas Becomes NBA Champs, They Should Give Rashard Lewis A Ring!

Why? Because, evidently, he slept with Lebron James' girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, which is supposedly why LBJ played so bad in Game 4.

This rumor is reminiscent of last years rumor that then-Cavs teammate Delonte West was having an affair with Lebron's mother. That "affair" was used to explain Lebron's poor performance too.

If this is true, then teams opposing Lebron should just send male prostitutes to boink Lebron's various relatives and girlfriends. That seems to be the best defense against him.


Read the rumor for yourself!

Chris Greatwich Won't Play Against Sri Lanka!

Most remember him for his memorable goals against SEA football powerhouses Singapore and Vietnam. But it might be a while before Chris Greatwich adds to our cache of memorable Azkal moment.

The Fil-British player who is currently coaching in the US has already informed the Azkals coaching staff of his inability to join them in Germany for the Azkals training camp. This led to a mutual decision by both parties to exclude Greatwich from the Azkals lineup in the coming matches against Sri Lanka.

Evidently, Golden State might. Whispers around the NBA have the Warriors talking to the about a Monta Ellis-Andre Iguodala swap.

Heat Counter Punches In Game 3!

Now this is turning out to be a pretty exciting series.

The Miami Heat won just the first quarter, 29-22, but managed to hang on even as the Mavs chipped off point after point over 3 quarters to win, 88-86.

Chris Bosh hit the winning shot with about 30 seconds to go and Dirk Nowitzki couldn't pull the Mavs even, throwing the ball away on one possession then hitting the back iron on his desperation heave.

UFL All Stars Shock Azkals!

All these endorsement deals, commercials, photo ops, rumored love affairs, football clinics has got to stop right now.Seriously, the Azkals need to start working. If not, we may see more variations of the headline above.

The Azkals lost to the United Football League All-Stars, 4-3, on a last minute goal by Eric Dagroh. Dagroh and Izzeldin Elhabbib led the UFL AllStars in their shocking win, making the most of their scant chances by scoring 4 goals on 4 opportunities.

Some UFL All stars so impressed Azkals coach Hans Michael Weiss that they may just find themselves on the Azkals roster come June 28.

More on the game story here.

And if those UFL stars are willing to work harder for the Azkals, then I say dump the "star" Azkals and replace them with deserving UFL All-Stars.
