Al's Sports page

Basketball

ESPN provides a great article, mostly about the relationship between Allen Iverson and his last team’s, Philadelphia 76ers, coach. As we all know he is a great player and the article just proves once more that he has some great abilities, like taking criticism pretty seriously. He even advised his coach to tell him the moment he saw Allen’s mistakes, and he usually corrected them. You can find more of these facts and some interesting stories about Allen’s performance in the 76ers team. And at the end you can find some interesting articles about some players that are trying to step up on the scale of greatness.

It seams that Jay Williams got another start in the basketball world, after he suffered a motorcycle crash. He recuperated pretty good, but it seamed that the NBA closed the door for him, but he wants to show the world that he hasn’t finished playing basketball, so he managed to get himself in the NBDL. And it is a great marriage boat for the development league’s team, Austin Toros, for which he signed, and for Jay, because Jay has a great chance for getting back in the NBA and for the Toros it means that they have, not only a great player, but one who has experience. It seams that boat have to gain from this, at least that’s what suggests the article on CBS’s sports page.

It seams that the Phoenix Suns have a very good team, and they are pretty confident that their hero, Steve Nash, just can’t let them down, because from the stats it seams that he is the best player from the NBA, for now at least. Beside the fact that they lost their “momentum” in the forth quarter whit Miami, they are really confident that they just have the best team for the moment, but I am convinced that they will be stopped by the team that is the least expected to do that, so I just think it is to forward of them to assume that they have the best team. For more you should read the article on MSNBC.

Soccer

It seams that Klinsmann just wont coach in the US, at least for the moment, because he just turned down the job to coach the US national team, and he didn’t take the job of coaching in Germany either, invoicing the argument of his family, but he indirectly suggested that he would like to coach in Germany. It is a small but interesting article on MSNBC, so I advise you to read it.

It seams that Arsene Wenger is being fined for his aggressive behavior related to the incident on the Hammers - Arsenal game, where he had an interesting crash whit Hammers coach Pardew, who was also charged but he denied so he will have a personal hearing whit the FA disciplinary commission, however Wenger must pay a fine of £10,000. The article on ESPN contains some more information, for those who are interested.
