Apparently winning an NBA Championship in your first year as head coach just doesn’t warrant the same job security that it use to. At least not in Detroit. As Larry Brown was asked to move on by Joe Dumars and the rest of the Pistons front office, it is not to far-fetched to wonder why exactly would Detroit want to rid itself of one of the greatest basketball coaches ever.
Hours after plans were revealed for the World Baseball Classic, a World Cup-style event that would feature 16 nations in tournament play, Gary Sheffield of the New York Yankees weighed in on the announcement.

After the Madness that was the NBA draft unfolded last night at Madison Square Garden, let’s take a look at which NBA teams really helped themselves and which teams shot themselves in the foot (cough Toronto cough, cough).
Forget Draft Day. Who wants to deal with the hype, the speculation, the money… the hat lady? You just made the best decision of your life.

You just need one word to describe Annika Sorenstam when it comes to women’s golf. Untouchable.
Every year a new NBA Champion is crowned. Every year a Finals’ MVP is named. Every year a city throws a tickertape parade for their championship team. However, every year is not this year in the NBA.

It’s got some stiff competition; take a look at my list.
