GREAT SONG FOR WOULD BE SPORTS HEROES!

Not everyone can be like Michael Jordan...but we all have a place in the sports world.

Cause everyone's a hero in their own way.

AMARE IS THE WEAKEST NBA PLAYER EVER!

A month ago, we saw how Amare Stoudemire went flying in for a dunk that nearly tore off a ring, get brushed by an unknown third string PG and go flying into the bleachers, drawing the technical foul.

That move seems to be part of Amare's weapons nowadays as he brings it out against the "hulking" Derek Fisher.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE A GIRL GRACED THESE CYBER-PAGES...

So let's take a look at volleyball hottie Rachel Anne Daquis! Hay!

TURKOGLU'S THE MAN!

Dwight Howard may be Superman...but Hedo Turkoglu has been responsible for more game winners in the last 2 seasons than Superman's had in his entire career! 

Guess now we know who's the go-to-guy of this team really is.

MAN CRUSH GONE WILD.

Every basketball fan has had a man crush on a particular player. For most, it revolves around players named Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant or Lebron James (or Sonny Jaworski, Alvin Patrimonio, Johnny Abbarientos or Benji Paras).

To those interested, my man crushes are Scottie Pippen and Nelson Asaytono, plus Gabe Norwood.

But there is a limit to man crushes...and this guy definitely crossed the line.

WHY DO TEAMS NEED A GO TO GUY?

This is why teams need a go to guy (check 1:58 on the clip). 

Because when the game is on the line, when you have 3 seconds left to play , you got to have someone ready and willing to be a goat or a hero. 

THAT WAS A CONFRONTATION?

If Bill Laimbeer saw that, he would have taken on both teams at the same time and kicked both their asses to kingdom come.

THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASKETBALL!

Much like Tom Hanks shouting at his female players in the movie "A League of Their Own", I find myself screaming at Glen "Big Baby" Davis upon chancing on this clip.

The Celtics were up by 25pts when Big Baby and the Celts second unit came to play. They promptly gave up points like aortic blood spurting when Doc Rivers called a timeout. 

KG chewed out the second unit, grabbing Big Baby by the arm and pouring scorn and disdain on them. Big Baby walked out of the huddle, whined to Gabe Pruitt and fought back tears at the end of the bench.

BEN GORDON IS THE NEW MUTOMBO?

When an athletic 6'6" PG comes barreling down the lane, what does a 6'1" SG whose specialty is shooting the jumper do?

He makes the same play shotblocking machine Dikembe Mutombo always did.

BEING RIGHT ABOUT PACQUIAO

KO? Check.

Later round? Double check.

Complete and total dominance? Uhm...sorry, didn't catch that one.

When Manny Pacquiao started out by flicking jabs and left straights at de la Hoya right in the very first round, my first thought was "Oh shit, dance around Manyy, tire him out, don't go toe to toe, not just yet!")

But then, I noticed one other thing. De la Hoya couldn't hit Pacquiao at all. The slick moving, quick dancing, weaving and bobbing Pacquiao turned the Golden Boy into a turnstile which just kept going  around and around and around.

And when Pacquiao pummeled a cut into de la Hoya's nose int he 2nd and closed Golden Boy's left eye in the 6th, I knew it was a matter of only time until I was proven right.

The main bone of contention now seems to be: if you were de la Hoya, would you have cried "No mas" or would you have gone down swinging?
