"The Thunder’s owner was named Man of the Year. Why, of course he was: “No one came close to Clay Bennett as we set about selecting this year’s Oklahoman of the Year,” says Louisa McCune-Elmore, Oklahoma Today editor in chief. “His accomplishment presents an extraordinary moment in the life of Oklahoma, probably among the most important achievements in our capital city’s history.”..."

"by Marcel Mutoni Even though it’s almost 2009, and practically everyone has a blog these days, bloggers - those filthy creatures that reside in their parents’ basements - continue to take the blame for many of the world’s ills. According to Kevin McHale, the new (old?) coach in Minnesota, front office personnel around the NBA spend as much time watching the games as they do checking out their RSS feeds. Apparently, those dastardly bloggers are influencing decisions at the League level, and i..."

"by Marcel Mutoni A report from Yahoo! Sports yesterday re-ignited the Shawn Marion trade talk, this time adding a new twist to things: The Cavs are reportedly interested in the Heat forward, and are willing to trade Sideshow Varejao and Wally Sexyback for the Matrix’s services. The word from the Miami press corps, as of today anyway, seems to be that Shawn isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon.

"I just wanted to get this one off my chest. Here is my 12-man all-time NBA team. Each player is considered at the peak of his career. I’ve listed a starter at each position, a back-up at each position, a sixth man (different from a back-up), and a key reserve player. To play on my all-time team, you need to be a great player, obviously, but you also must be a team player first. That is why such obvious choices as Micheal Jordan, Larry Bird, and Julius Erving didn’t make my team - although th..."

"by Marcel Mutoni Perhaps you’ve noticed that the Los Angeles Lakers - they of the 21-3 record - haven’t exactly been playing the most inspired basketball of late. They had to mount a huge comeback last night just to beat the Knicks at home, and two of their three losses this season have come at the hands of squads with next to no shot at postseason play.
