Finally won a playoff series. Had to go out on top.

I feel that guys like Iverson and McGrady legitimize the theory that volume scoring doesn't win championships. T-Mac was a career 43% shooter, and Iverson was at 42.5% when all was said and done. If your star player isn't hitting at least 48% from the field, it's rough to be an elite offensive team.

Kobe is a career 45% shooter.

Shaq was the star of the first three teams Kobe won a championship with.

And without Gasol, he doesn't win his last two.

Hard to say Kobe was the most important piece of any Laker team that won a championship.

No it's not. Kobe was the most important piece of ANY Laker championship. I'm still here.

I don't think it's hard to say he was most important piece on the Gasol teams. He definitely deserves his two championships.

Michael Beasley released by the Suns. I think it's safe to call him a major disappointment after being picked number 2 in the 2008 draft.

I predict his disappointment will continue to grow, making this setback a mere side note with the news of his untimely death within 5 years.

The motion-tracking cameras that were talked about last year as potentially game-changing in the way hoop is analyzed will be in every arena this year.

I wonder if the data will be available to fans as well. A guy could get lost in the data for months.

Michael Beasley averaged 26 ppg and 12 rpg in college. Two years ago he nearly averaged 20 ppg in the NBA.

Today he signed a one year, non-guaranteed minimum salary deal with the Miami Heat.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Beasley + Miami Beach = not a good idea.

Looks like the NBA will finally ditch the ridiculous 2-3-2 format for the finals.
