Basketball

On ESPN the story of the day is Kwane Brown, changed not only the team but his looks. He now plays at L.A Lakers and he has a more aggressive look for his new team. He is pretty confident on his defensive skills and he is not frightened from the new defensive strategy in which according to him he accommodated quickly.

The preseason just started and every team has its goals high up by winning a division title, but some teams are getting carried away, like the Celtics who didn’t made it last season to the playoffs. It is an interesting story, you should read it, it’s on CBS.

Coach Isiah Tomas really pumped up the Nets and they are playing pretty good. They started this season pretty well. Isiah managed to win the game whiteout the stars of the team, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd. It is a great debut. You can find out more at MSNBC.

Soccer

On ESPN you find a the premier-ship score on the first story, I saw nothing interesting on the scoreboard it is just as expected. But beside this story there is a great one about Marco Van Basten who was expected to fail because his unusual decision to put some new faces on the pitch and he amazed us whit them once more. Great story and greater coach.

On MSNBC they dedicated the front-page to the extortion scandal in Italy, where ex star Giorgio Chinaglia is accused by the authorities by extortion and insider trading at Italian league club Lazio. It seams that the illegalities from Italy are spread out even in the Italian soccer clubs. It is sad to sea this, because the Italians played a great soccer, but if this keeps on than the soccer in Italy will degrade and that is just wrong.
