Now that the LA Lakers are about to lose Kobe, where do you think he will go?

Im a Laker fan and while I am very disappointed that he is leaving, I can understand his position. Now the question is where is he going and what are we going to get for him.
For those who say Kobe isn’t going anywhere….yes he is. Just go to ESPN.com and read the article.
For those who say he isn’t going anywhere….yes he is. Check out espn.com or any other sports station on the planet.

Nba 08 Review: Same Game With a Different Name

Monday 26 May 2008 @ 10:00 am
NBA
sayed islam asked:


NBA 08 is a PSP, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 exclusive video game. The game makes another return and continues a similar trend from last season’s NBA 07. That is not necessarily a positive considering the fact that NBA 07 was abysmal. The game is by all means a basketball simulation and not a amazing one. In terms of gameplay, there is not much to enjoy in this game. In this year’s iteration of the game, you can earn points that can bolster your attributes by playing a progression system. There is online support in NBA 08, but you will not be seeing anyone online because they will be busy playing NBA 2K8. The game does have a full season mode with the playoffs and mini games (like shooting drills). Unfortunately, a franchise mode is missing in action. If a gamer does manage to finish the full season mode, then he or she will receive nothing in return. I would have at least expected to see a trophy presentation, but I was mistaken. To make matters worse, there is no free agency and no drafting in this game. At one point, I even saw Steve Nash dunking the basketball. When has he ever dunked the basketball in the NBA? The controls in the game are not bad. You can use the six axis controller to keep the basketball away from defenders on offense; conversely, gamers can utilize the six axis controller to block shots on defense. It was intriguing to see a sports video game implement the six axis controller, and I felt like using the six axis controller was responsive. The artificial intelligence will behave like a bunch of spoiled athletes. They will do countless dubious things such as double teaming the mediocre players and take ill-advised shots. Why the hell the artificial intelligence would leave a player like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James wide open is beyond me. There are maneuvers that you can perform (ala cross over dribbles) that will make the game easier, but the game is never arduous at all. It was fairly obvious that little to no time was spent on the animations and collision detection because anyone can easily score points in this game. I learned that there is no need to use any exotic plays because you can just teleport through the defense without any resistance. It was almost like the defense was holding up a sign that read “I concede, so let me help you win this game by escorting you to the basket.” The graphics in the game is just as horrible as the gameplay. None of the players look like their real life counterparts. Identifying a player can only be done by reading the name on the back of his uniform. Every intricate detail was phenomenal in NBA 2K8. You could even see the stitching and designs on the uniforms in that game. Regrettably, NBA 08 does not even come close to the attention to detail presented in NBA 2K8. I cannot think of any players that are accurately represented in this game. Maybe this was a glitch, but I saw Kevin Garnett wearing pink socks. Kevin Garnett is known for wearing white socks. Things like that have made this game deplorable. Do not even get me started on the audio in this game. The commentators are saying lines as if they are reading from a script; moreover, this is exacerbated by the fact that the commentating is redundant. Overall, this game is lackluster. There is a updated roster for the 2007 to 2008 NBA season, but that is not enough to overcome the myriad of flaws associated with this game. I have had more fun watching a San Antonio Spurs game that playing this terrible excuse for a video game. The game has an immensely rudimentary NBA basketball gaming experience and lacks the immersion that made NBA 2K8 incredible. Do not be fooled into thinking that this game is worth playing because Amare Stoudemire is the cover athlete. As spectacular as Amare Stoudemire might be in the NBA, there is nothing he nor the game developers could have done to make this game enjoyable.

Watch Live Nba Games Online – I Can, You Can Too

Alexandre Frings asked:


What if you have to work late at night in the office and won’t be able to watch your favorite NBA team in action? Would you be devastated? If there is a solution for that, would you want to at least try? I bet you would because with the power of internet you can watch Live NBA games online.

Yes, you read it right, you can watch live NBA games online plus you can watch it anywhere you are, whether you are sitting on the toilet, you are in your office, or you are outside the US. As long as you have access to the internet, you can watch the games on your laptop anywhere you are. Today, a lot of NBA fans, who want to save money on tickets or satellite /Cable TV subscription or those who work late in the office often, use a software called PC satellite TV.

This software allows you to watch live NBA games online because it gives you access to more than three thousands channels including all the channels you normally get using the satellite TV subscription.

How will it save my money?

When I last check the price of the software, it costs only a onetime $50 for lifetime access, there is no monthly rebilling even the price or subscription policy changes.

What if I want to watch live NBA games online on my big screen?

That is simple task, you would have to connect your PC/laptop to your television using a special cable from the TV out port on your PC/laptop to your input port on your television. These days, most PC and laptop have TV out port already, if not you can buy it cheaply in a local electronic hardware store.

For more information about watching Live NBA games online, refer to the link that is placed in the end of this article.

Before ending this article, I have to remind you that you have to be extra careful when choosing PC satellite TV software because there are many fake software out there that delivers nothing and does not offer money back guarantee.

What would be your strategy in playing 3 on 3 basketball in a tournament?

Sunday 25 May 2008 @ 2:20 pm

Balrog asked:


Me and two of my friends are entering in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. I am a spot up shooter and i like to distribute the basketball. My ball handling skills are alright. My strong point is 3 pointers. The tallest guy on our team is 6ft3 so we dont have alot of length, but the other two guys are very athletic and agressive. What can we do to play against teams with more length and size?
