A New Mobile Age

September 27, 2009 · Filed Under Commentary · Comment 

Just got myself a new phone and boy does it have me excited. The new age of the sports fan is here, in fact I’d say a new age of human experience.

It cannot be understated that the printing press lead to unparalleled exploration by way of exposing new ideas, but by expanding the means of expression to a wider range of people. Now, with the evolution of the cell phone, we can see most anyone grab hold and state how they feel about the events of our lives. So, it is in this new dawn of excitement and communication that I set forth this essay from my phone to say we will be able to cover the heat like few others dare. And also, why not join us?

Not the Answer for Miami

September 10, 2009 · Filed Under Commentary, Offseason · Comment 

Today Allen Iverson tweeted on Twitter that he would be joining the Memphis Grizzlies; at that moment many Miami Heat fans faces grew sour. However I am a Heat fan that could not be happier about this. As my friend said “Why, he was perfect…he was the answer.” But was he really, or are Miami fans so desperate for a big name, they will do anything to get it. The truth is Iverson would have been a horrible fit for Miami. Many people are going to jump on me for this but let me explain why.

  • Miami’s go to Man is Wade, whether he likes it or not. We all saw what happens when Iverson is not the man (Detroit)
  • Iverson wants a starting role; Pat had already stated Chalmers was the starter.
  • Pat believes in practice, and well we all know what happened on November 26th 2006
  • Iverson has brought teams down with his ego; notice what Denver did without him, and bringing in a unselfish guy like Chauncey Billups

I am not saying Iverson is a bad player. He still can do things that will make many people surprised; all I am saying is that he was not the answer and in reality he should not have even been questioned. There are many possible players Miami can still go after, such as Rashad McCants, or even bring back a familiar face in Jason Williams. They could possibly be big helps and could come with the MLE. There are many options for the Heat to go with, and thankfully Iverson was eliminated.
