yea that means the rest of the world is starting to catch up... i mean you'd think all young players are trying to get to the NBA, but man it seems like there's more and more people choosing to stay abroad.

Gelabale is an amazing player. He's young and would probably join NBA in a few years. He was pretty good in France but now he's more complete since he plays for Real Madrid. He's so spectacular maybe more than Mike Pietrus.. It's good for him to stay a bit in Europe, he'll join Sonics better than at present.

"If you change the name Dwyane Wade to LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal to Zydrunas Ilgauskas, it's the same setup,'' Jones said.

"I'm one of the top five shooters in the world," said Jones, who paused for effect before breaking into a wide grin. And when coach Mike Brown answered questions from the media, Jones whispered in the microphone that he was the fifth best shooter in the world. Jones continued to display his sense of humor when asked about getting dunked on by LeBron James during a game last season. He is constantly reminded about the play."

"Much of Jones' disappointment was centered on Heat President Pat Riley, who Wednesday implied he could not justify such a starting salary or contract length for a one-dimensional player who would have returned as a reserve.

lol... 'aka the most underrated' as he sometimes like to call himself

Starting XI
All credit to Big Z but he is NOT the triple-team magnet that is Shaq.

He'll be getting significantly few wide open looks this season, I think. And Cleveland's defense is looking horrible.

Did anyone else see that charirty East vs. West game on TNT? Who was the Wests pointguard? He had one of the sickest windmills I have ever seen. BTW that shoot off between T-Mac and Arenas near the end where they were taking 3s from waaaaay out was classic. They gotta do that again in the real All-star game. Outrageous stuff. I gotta see it again. (C)

Highest draft pick to die of a drug overdose
Len Bias, No. 2 overall, June 19, 1986

Bias was considered a can't-miss star. Not only was the 22-year-old a terrific talent, he also had a sterling reputation. As his college coach Lefty Driesell stated, "Leonard's only vice is ice cream." Unfortunately, the Maryland Terrapins forward never got a chance to strut his stuff in the pros.

A tragic ending for Len Bias.
Less than 48 hours after being selected second overall by the Boston Celtics, Bias collapsed in his dorm and died of a cardiac arrest. Doctors found cocaine in Bias's system and concluded that he died of a cocaine-induced seizure.

A subsequent investigation into his death led to charges being laid against three other people who admitted using the drug with Bias on the day of his death. The fallout eventually resulted in Driesell's resignation.
