Lester’s no-no among others

Jon Lester has been marked in baseballs history. Throwing a no-hitter got him there. But what makes it more impressive is the road he traveled to get to this point on his career.

Celtics move on

Paul Pierce vs. LeBron James. That’s what the game was like. One shot after the other made and missed by these two players. But again, even though LeBron scored 45 points and everyone is talking how good he was, I believe he performed poorly. Read more

Nadal downs Federer - Again

Rafael Nadal has proven to have Federer figured out mentally. As you know, tennis is a sport that players have to win mentally and not physically.

May Days

The month of May is usually an interesting time in boxing. In recent years, it’s been the host of Oscar De La Hoya’s annual Cinco de Mayo fight festivities and the setup month for fights later in the year.

CP3 Leads past Spurs

The defending champs San Antonio Spurs find themselves in the corner being beaten by the young talent of New Orleans Hornets - and Chris Paul.

It has been amazing to watch a young kid like Chris Paul, to dominate the floor and lead a team of talented players to victory over one of the most experienced and victorious teams in the NBA. A 6 ft. (1.82 mtrs.) tall, 22 year-old, leading a professional team now and many years into the future, makes more than one person think about what he/she has done with his/her life!

But it’s ok, even if watching players like Paul (with his talent) makes me think what I’ve done with my life?, it’s players like him that makes watching sports unbelievably fun. The Hornets-Spurs series is not over, it’s only going to get better, but as the stats show the Spurs lost 4-0 the last time the lost the first two games of the series.

Needless to say, having the greatest player in basketball history as your mentor has made a huge impact in Paul’s game.

Who’s that? MJ
