Phil Jackson Actually Has Incentive To Win
Don’t let Phil Jackson’s laid back demeanor fool you, He’s got plenty to cheer for for game 7. Throughout these playoffs, Phil has seemingly taken every timeout break to state the obvious about the game, and let his players motivate themselves.
While this has proved successful with 9 championships handed to him by Shaq and MJ, and last year’s first great coaching job to the cahmpionship.
He actually does have incentive to win game 7 tomorrow versus the Celtics.
2 Million Bucks. According to ESPN.com, Phil Jackson has a $2 million dollar trigger bonus in his contract for winning the NBA title this year. And while he already made $12 million this year, an extra 16% to anyones salary is significant. So if theres any way to go out for retirement, it’s an extra $2 million to drop into that 401k. Good Luck Phil, get yourself some more suits like the Bulls’ days.
Please lose, Kobe.
“We Are Lebron” Song By The Most (Un)Famous Clevelanders
The celebrity of Cleveland actually does realize that their entire economy depends on Lebron James playing basketball in Cleveland.
So they decided to get everyone who has ever been famous from Cleveland into a video singing a Lebron rendition of “We Are The World”. The only problem is the most famous person they had in the song was an MTV’s Real World personality. They did get the Ohio governor, which tells you how important him staying with the Cavs really is for Ohio and it’s people.

Lebron’s Game 5 Message
What’s the message? I need help, I do it alone every game. There is no other team, no less a powerhouse team like this in the NBA, and Lebron wants you to realize it. Now Bron-bron does have a very good supporting cast, with Mo Williams, an aging Shaq and Antwan Jamison. None of these guys really create their own offense. Jamison is a perfect fit with Lebron because he gets 18 points/8 rebounds without running him a single set. Shaq has to hog possessions where he generally gets overly aggressive and commits a offensive foul or throws a low arcing brick at the back of the rim. Mo Williams needs to get hot to get in his game, or get a wide open look from 3 from Lebron.
So what does any of this have to do with Lebron? He wants you to know how good he is, and how dependant the Cavs are on his game. Only once all season did he have 3 field goals like he did on Tuesday. And only once did he have only 4 FG. Continue reading
Jamison: Instant NBA Title & A Farewell to The King
The Cleveland Cavaliers essentially traded for Antawn Jamison for one of the last picks in the first round of the draft. Sounds like a fair trade. The Washington Wizards need to save money and cap room and the Cavaliers wanted to bolster their team for their championship push. The Wizards also received Big Z Ilgauskas but he will eventually be waved and resigned with the Cavs in 30 days, like Jerry Stackhouse with the Mavs last year.
So what does this mean for the Cavs? Instant Championship. Jamison is one of the most underrated players in the NBA and has been for many years. He isn’t as explosive offensively as Stoudemire who was rumored to be heading to Cleveland instead, Continue reading
