Just to give my 10 readers out there an idea of what's going on in the next couple of days here at the Corner. We will be doing this NBA article followed by NFL Picks for Week 9 and then a College Basketball preview at the beginning of the week plus a running diary of my Iowa trip (I promise this every time but seriously I'm spending three nights, the stories should be plentiful) .
If I ever do things like "NBA Weekly" or something like that, more times than not I am too late to talk about it so I group it with something that is closely relevant. Anyways, on to one of my favorites, LeBron James.
LeBron made a comment after beating the Miami Heat on Thursday night that he will switch his jersey next year to number six from number 23 because no one should wear Michael Jordan's number. According to Bron, he was so influential to all of the players that are in the league today. While I agree with LBJ that Michael Jordan inspired a ton of people playing today... he needs to read GD book about the NBA if he is asking for a full-on retirement. Like others said on various outlets, Bill Russell and Dr. J should come before Jordan and Jackie Robinson number is retired because he paved the way for African-Americans into the MLB.
Now on to the Byron Scott firing. People have said before the year started that he was on the hotseat to start the year off. No one was shocked by the move and if you really think about New Orleans doesn't have anyone after Chris Paul and David West. Nor will they have anyone because they have a cheap ass owner not willing to spend any money on the team. Scott will coach somewhere next year because for whatever reason, he can get two to three good years out of the team then he loses them. Also Hornets fan might as well start realizing Chris Paul might not be there in a couple years, despite that extension.
-Charlie.
