Irony, kinda isn't it?

Play the Lebron video and at 32.5 seconds in start the Jordan video. Mash it up old school.

WWE vs NBA?

I was wondering why JR dissed the Nuggets during Raw. This is why.

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to be at the Pepsi Center in Denver next Monday night.

Problem is, so are John Cena and a bunch of wrestlers -- and they called it first.

World Wrestling Entertainment said it is booked at the arena for an episode of Monday Night Raw, the same night the Nuggets are slated to host the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

WWE chairman Vince McMahon told The Associated Press he doesn't believe there was "any malice, just ineptness," on the part of Kroenke Sports, which owns the team and the building, but can't tolerate the company "just simply throwing us out on our ear."

Without a quick resolution, McMahon plans to send his trucks to Denver.

"That's what we intend to do," he said. "We're going to show up."

Pepsi Center officials told the ABC television affiliate in Denver that the Nuggets game will be played as scheduled and that they are working with the WWE to reschedule or move its event.

Paul Andrews, executive vice president of Kroenke Sports Enterprises, issued a statement Monday night concerning the scheduling conflict, saying: "We are working with the WWE to resolve the situation amicably."

Espn.

I've been in the stands before

Ron Artest got jokes.

Look at Yao crack up.

Destiny

If you can't see the passing of the torch coming, you don't know sports ... and it's keen interest in Hollywoodesque drama. Especially pitting leaders vs each other. It's the American way.

This year I (and probably David Stern) expect (hope) the finals will end up Kobe vs King James .. I mean Lakers vs Cavs. Is this the year LBJ takes his crown and to paraphrase a legend "be the man, by beating THE (incumbent) man"? Maybe, but Kobe is still Kobe and he isn't going down without a fight, especially when he NEEDS to win one without Shaq's giant shadow looming. Like how Messier needed his win after Gretzky left Edmonton. Kobe is gangsta, and he isn't going anywhere. This is a scary vision for anyone in his way.

Then again I don't want to see THIS coming at me either.

I think I saw a similar torch passing this last Sunday though. Hmmm things may not go so well for Kobe.
