According to Sports Illustrated, LeBron James was named Sportsman of the Year. Maybe the big deal for him is winning the NBA Championship from the 66-game season last season as well as his triumph in Olympic basketball at the London 2012 Olympic Summer Games. To the notion of LBJ winning "Sportsman of the Year" by Sports Illustrated, you say?
Enjoy some Monday night NBA hoops if your team(s) is/are playing.
.......................I'm still trying to get over the photo. I remember young Kobe, traded to the Lakers immediately, and how I thought he was a punk. That opinion changed pretty quick. Did he even ever play for the Hornets? I can't remember. It's an old people thing.And the Spurs-Heat game being a marquee match-up and it's still not even 20 games into the season?
David Stern is just playing hype master again, and is mad that Pops disrespected him in front of the nation.
I really hope Pops says that he was at the mercy of the scheduling during the appeal process.
And I'll just leave this here:
Edit: Since I fell sick and had to stay in today, I was Youtubing draft picks during a study break, and came across a Kobe Bryant wearing a Charlotte Hornets hat on draft day.
It was so weird, as I remembered watching that moment as a little kid.
I just hope D'Rose come in and take everything away from James, as I just love Rose, and not a fan of LeBron. Everything except LeBron's mother, she belongs to the crazy guy who used to play for Dallas.Lebron is far and away the sportsman of the year. He certainly went Jordan mode in the finals and in the Olympics. Spain just had no chance.
I just hope D Rose can come back and take that away from him though.👍
Don't be so jealous. She's out of your reach.No, Kobe did not play one minute for them as the Lakers did a draft day steal via trades. Boy did the Hornets felt stupid for that one.
And who started this whole Lebron's mom and Delonte West thing?
5'7" huh? I could probably still keep you out of paint.I'm 5'7" and you just told me not to sell myself short...
I'm gonna go curl up into a ball in a corner now.👍
The New Orleans Hornets are expected to become the New Orleans Pelicans, perhaps as early as the 2013-14 season, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
Yahoo! Sports, citing numerous sources, reports the team also considered Krewe and Brass as potential nicknames.
The Hornets have planned to change their name since New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who also owns the rights to the Pelicans nickname, bought the team in April.
Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan said in November he'd be interested in bringing the Hornets name back to Charlotte.
"It's definitely an interest down the road, but right now it's the New Orleans Hornets," Jordan told the Charlotte Observer. "We would definitely entertain the opportunity. That's as much as we can say right now. We've heard the community ask the question, and we would listen."
The pelican is Louisiana's state bird and appears on both the state seal and flag. A New Orleans minor league baseball team held the Pelicans nickname in all but nine seasons from 1887-1959, and again in 1977.
The Hornets moved to New Orleans from Charlotte in 2002, and when Benson bought the team earlier this year he said that he would like to change the name to something more fitting of Louisiana. His wife, Gayle, reiterated that idea and added that the franchise also would like to change the team colors from teal and purple to red, gold and navy blue.
