Serbia’s Nenad Krstic, from the Oklahoma City Thunder, was involved in a chaotic fight during a match with Greece.
The fight broke out during the last game of the Acropolis tournament, which was abandoned with 2:40 remaining and Greece leading by one point. The incident occurred just a week before the basketball world championship in Turkey, where both teams will play.

A stunned crowd of about 5,000 at the Athens Olympic Arena watched players from both teams exchange punches and kicks on the floor and in the tunnels leading to the dressing rooms. Two or three spectators entered the fray but were quickly shoved out of the arena.

The fight began when Greece forward Antonis Fotsis moved threateningly against Serbia guard Milos Teodosic, who had fouled him. Krstic grabbed Fotsis by the throat and threw a chair toward Sofoklis Schortsanitis, who was pursuing him. The chair hit Yannis Bouroussis, who had not played because of a hand injury, and left him with a bloody wound on the side of his head.

Serbia and Greece are scheduled to play in the basketball world championships beginning Aug. 28 in Turkey, although they are in separate groups for the preliminary round.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti about Krstic’s involvment in the fight:

“He recognizes that this is an unfortunate situation and he is regretful for his actions. He has apologized to the Greek national team and has reached out personally to specific members of the Greek team. He is looking forward to continuing his preparation for the world championships and representing his country.”

Maybe Krstic should consider a WWE career ?

The summer is not ready , but a lot of NBA trades happened so far. The question of the summer was Lebron where ? In the meantime we found out.  We gonna highlight the most important NBA trades of the summer and the changes in most of the teams , starting from worst to the best.

The Clippers re-signed Craig Smith and Rasual Butler and nabbed Randy Foye from Washington and Ryan Gomes from Minnesota. All three contracts were very economical and won’t put the Clippers in a financial bind. Foye will provide insurance if Baron Davis or Eric Gordon suffer injuries, while Smith, Butler and Gomes offer depth along the frontline.

San Antonio re-signed 3-point specialist in a move that made sense.  As long as Tim Duncan is on the roster, Bonner will be able to get away with playing power forward on the defensive end and make up for his defensive shortcomings with his jump shooting.
Jefferson opted out of his deal that would have paid him $15 million next season and re-upped with the Spurs for 4 years, $39 million. Still waiting to see if he will find a  role in the offense next season.

The Bobcats decided to resign Tyrus Thomas to a five-year, $40 million deal. Also Shaun Livingston and Sherron Collins, but neither player can be counted on to contribute great things.

The Bucks spent a whooping $72 million on John Salmons and Drew Gooden, two NBA veterans. Smart move ? ..Mmmmmhhh …

After losing Chris Bosh, the Raptors resigned Amir Johnson (to a five-year – $34 million contract !!!) and brought Linas Kleiza. Probably, hard to see the Raps fighting for playoffs in the next 3-4 years …. But at least they got rid of the Hedo .

In Minesotta, David Kahn filled a need at point guard with the dependable Luke Ridnour. Considering Jonny Flynn’s tenuous relationship with Kurt Rambis, four-years, $16 million looks like a good deal. Also, Darko Milicic a for-year $20 million deal.

In Cleveland, not much can be said . Seems that Joey Graham will replace Lebron’s position … ??!!??

In Atlanta, Joe Johnson will make more money that Lebron in Miami. Could he keep up the pace 20 + points for the next 6 years ? Will see. Except that nothing much.

The big fuss in New Jersey wasn’t that big really … Mikhail Prokhorov’s first investments were in Travis Outlaw, Jordan Farmar and Anthony Morrow, who received a combined $59 to take their collective talents to Brooklyn. All the big names have been missed.

Houston re-signed Luis Scola and Kyle Lowery and added Brad Miller to provide depth behind Yao. the Rockets failed to address the need for a shooting guard, where the fragile Kevin Martin can’t be expected to make it through the season.

The Suns lost Amare, but recovered good by re-signing sharpshooter Channing Frye, Hakim Warrick and Josh Childress to provide depth and acquired Hedo Turkgolu. For the center position, Robin Lopez is supposed to be the man ( big doubts on this one …)

Golden State added David Lee in a sign-and-trade, adding a proven NBA star capable of putting up ridiculous numbers in Nellie’s go-go system. They also signed Dorell Wright, who has never managed to reach his potential but still could, and added Jannero Pargo and popular summer league star Jeremy Lin.

No big moves for Orlando. The Magic matched the Bulls’ offer to restricted free agent J.J. Redick and snagged a pair of former Knicks in Quentin Richardson and Chris Duhon. Will probaly see another good run on the playoffs.

The Lakers signed Matt Barnes and Steve Blake , a move that provides two solid pieces for Phil Jackson and should improve the Lakers’ bench.  Derek Fisher and Shannon Brown re-signed and are joined by Theo Ratliff, who provides a slight upgrade over D.J. Mbenga.

In Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki re-signed for less money, enabling the Mavs to overpay slightly to keep Brendan Haywood.
Mark Cuban’s team is constructed perfectly to compete against the Lakers and has a nice mix of veterans and promising young players.  The re-signing of Haywood and acquisition of Tyson Chandler could pay huge dividends, assuming both big men are able to stay healthy.

The Knicks are coming together … are they ?  Stoudemire’s game fits perfectly into the fast-paced pick-and-roll heavy offense and also the signing of Raymond Felton is a big plus.

Celtics got Shaq. Now…. more serious problems . In addition to adding Jermaine O’Neal, don’t forget Boston re-signed free agents Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to keep the dynasty together and prepare for another run at the NBA Finals. Also, Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels resigned for a very deep bench.

After missing all the big free agents, Chicago managed to recover in a different way. Carlos Boozer gives the Bulls a post-scorer for the first time since Elton Brand and is a perfect second option behind Derrick Rose.
With Ronnie Brewer expected to start and Kyle Korver slated to come off the bench, that’s a strong perimeter shooting squad.

The dream is reunited in Miami : Wade, LeBron, Bosh. But, the Heat needed shooting, so they signed Mike Miller and Eddie House. They needed depth up front, so they re-signed Udonis Haslem, Joel Anthony and Jamaal Magloire and brought in Juwan Howard and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Those moves make Miami and deep and undeniably dangerous team when combined with the remarkable free agent coup.

I’m sure we’ll see more moves shortly. We’ll keep you posted and we’re anxious for a new  great NBA season.

The Golden State Warriors owner Chris Cohan reached an agreement to sell the franchise to Boston Celtics minority partner Joe Lacob and Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Guber, the Associated Press reported Thursday.  The team will change hands to the tune of $450 million, the most ever for an NBA team.  The previous record was $401 million with the 2001 sale of the Phoenix Suns.  Cohan originally bought the team in 1995 for $119 million but was forced to sell after financial difficulties relating to the sale of his previously owned cable company.

In 2009, Forbes estimated the Warriors franchise was worth $315 million based on their sport, market, stadium and brand management.  But, the good news for the team’s new owners is that in 2008 operating income is listed at $11.9 million and player expenses at $70 million while revenue was $113 million (difference of + $31.1 million).  Building-block stars like Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis along with recently acquired forward David Lee give the Warriors a bright future on the court.  The Warriors currently rank 21st in team payroll, a number likely to rise with the change in ownership.

None of this would have mattered had Cohan chose to sell the team to the runner up.  Oracle CEO Larry Ellision, who was considered the favorite to buy the team, has a fortune of an estimated $28 billion according to Forbes.  Cohan must have felt new owners Lacob and Guber will be more hands-on.

“Although I was the highest bidder, Chris Cohan decided to sell to someone else,” Ellision said. “In my experience this is a bit unusual. Nonetheless, I wish the Warriors and their fans nothing but success under their new ownership.”

Not that the team’s new owners are suffering in the dollars-and-cents department, but they are more likely to need a profit than Ellison.  Guber is a producer who was involved in movies such as “Rain Man,” “Batman,” and “The Color Purple.”  Lacob has been involved in sports websites and as previously mentioned, was a minority owner with the Boston Celtics.  Nothing quite like $28 billion there.

On a different note, the Warriors have agreed to send point guard C.J. Watson to the Chicago Bulls for a 2011 second-round pick, multiple team sources told the Bay Area News Group on Tuesday.

The deal was not complete as of press time.

Watson, a restricted free agent, signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Warriors, who then traded him to the Bulls, a source said. Watson is expected to back up Bulls All-Star point guard Derrick Rose.

Lots of NBA rumors lately, and still no answer about Lebron’s new destination. There is no denying Lebron will make his money and lots of it, wherever he goes! However, being in NYC, he will make tons more! If he wins a championship in NYC he will make even more. Imagine if Michael Jordan called the garden home? He would of definitely have made more. NYC is the world stage! Its a global city. its the home of the United Nations, Center of commerce, Fashion, Marketing etc..It has the highest percentage of billionaires calling NYC their home. Lebron has the chance to rub elbows with the worlds movers and shakers in a daily basis with potential to make business deals for himself. If he wants a clothing brand and perfume business, he would be in the right place. What ever he wishes to do, He could do it because he has the name and the talent and calling NYC his home would give him even greater exposure in the global stage. If you listen the languages spoken in the Garden, you’ll hear many different languages.. Many of it is European!. NYC is the #1 tourist destination… Etc. It’s the real exposure actually being in Gotham that would tuly make King James a Global Icon and the Master of the Universe.

The focus of the New York Knicks‘ pitch to LeBron  (and a specially prepared report for the meeting): Hell yes it matters. Forbes got a hold of the PowerPoint that says, basically, you can only make $1 billion in New York. And you want to make $1 billion, don’t you? You are not going to make that in Miami and Cleveland, and probably not in Chicago. Why? Because we’re New York.

Lebron to NY

To come up with the numbers for the Knicks, Interbrand says it ran through 50,000 computer models of a potential LeBron career, using more than 200 variables like individual performance, fan demographics and championships. The report is light on the details of its methodology, but comes to this conclusion: LeBron has a 50% chance of earning at least $1 billion in New York. In Cleveland and Chicago the odds fall to 1%. The study put a 0% chance of LeBron making $1 billion playing for Miami.

I think the Knicks would be the best choice. They have a few roll players in Lee and Gallinari. They’re also close to landing Stoudemire… another roll player. If they get a decent point guard that would be a team to reckon with. And it’s also a team that LeBron can still call “his” team. Add this with the fact that NY makes the most sense monetarily and I’d say NY is definitely the place to be. I’d use the same argument for Chicago but do you really think he wants to build his legacy in the house that Jordan built?

Very possible that nobody cares how much money Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods made, except for their ex wives. But everybody knows how many championship rings, finals MVP Jordan has. Jordan didn’t earn the bulk of his money from his basketball salary, it was the endorsements. And people bought Air Jordans, well… because he’s a champion with 6 rings. So, no matter where he’s going, once the ring will come , the money will follow too.

The Lakers finished the season with one of their greatest moments ever, climbing back from a 13-point deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics, 83-79, to win Game 7 of the NBA Finals and clinch their second consecutive championship.
This is 16 franchise titles, perhaps none of them more difficult. This is five rings for Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, absolutely none of them as hard. This is redemption for the Celtics’ 2008 Finals beating and it was a worthily  wait .

Bryant earned his fifth title with the Lakers, who repeated as NBA champions for the first time since winning three straight from 2000-02. Coach Phil Jackson added his 11th, matching Russell’s total and possibly putting a cap on his remarkable career if he decides to leave the Lakers.

Jackson won his fifth ring in Los Angeles to go with his half-dozen from Chicago. And it might be the last: Weary of the regular-season grind and facing a likely pay cut with the Lakers, Jackson hasn’t determined his future, though he previously said another title would make him more likely to chase an unprecedented fourth threepeat next season, when he’ll be 65.

The Celtics had never lost a Game 7 in the Finals. Despite nursing a lead through most of the night while holding the Lakers to ridiculously low shooting percentages until the final minutes, Boston couldn’t close it out on the coast, becoming only the seventh team to blow a 3-2 Finals lead after winning Game 5.

Boston concentrated its entire defense on preventing Kobe Bryant from getting to the rim. Kobe isolations were overplayed to one side of the court where a big defender was waiting. Guards would pinch off the wings, and screens/rolls would feature the big defender showing out on Bryant. With Bryant’s overdribbling forcing him into terrible shots, he finished a horrendous 6-24 from the floor with two assists and four turnovers and was a non-factor until the Celtics made mistakes down the stretch.

Bryant, the Finals MVP, scored 23 points despite 6-of-24 shooting, and the Lakers  won their 16th NBA championship Thursday night, dramatically rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Celtics  83-79 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.The Lakers tied it at 61 on Artest’s three-point play with 7:29 left, and Bryant’s free throws 90 seconds later gave the Lakers their first lead of the second half. The Lakers forged ahead by five points before Bryant and Sasha Vujacic hit free throws in the final seconds to keep Los Angeles ahead by at least two points on every possession.

The Celtics had much more poise from the opening tip in Game 7, playing vicious defense that forced Los Angeles to miss 21 of its first 27 shots. Bryant and Gasol were a combined 6 for 26 in the first half. Indeed, the offensive heroes for the Lakers were Gasol, Odom, Fisher, and Artest. Never again should the Lakers supporting cast be questioned as unworthy of a championship. And a huge thumb up for Artest funny post game interview where he announced his upcoming single .

But forget how it looked early on, because history will. Bryant even did something Jerry West and Magic Johnson never could: He beat the hated Celtics in Game 7 of the Finals.
Kobe Bryant had 23 points on a rough shooting night, but the only number he cared about was his fifth championship ring, tying Lakers luminary Magic Johnson and moving to within one of Michael Jordan.

Congratulations Lakers ! See you next season !

It’s all coming down to the game 7 NBA finals 2010.
Here comes a forever night in the NBA, a forever fight to the finish, a Celtics-Lakers death-grip still unsettled. All those years, all that history, and it comes flooding into the surround sound of Staples Center for Game 7.

Boston is now playing without Kendrick Perkins for Game 7. That’s a massive blow because he plays great defense, is the anchor of their whole defense, and is their leading rebounder in the series thus far.
Celtics will start either the undersized Glen Davis, or the undisciplined Rasheed Wallace. This is a huge for the Lakers, since now, there’s not as much pressure for Bynum to be in the game lots of minutes.

Kobe Bryant started off Game 6 going 5-6 from the field. Boston couldn’t do much when LA’s failsafe scorer was hot at the start—especially since he could dish the ball out and initiate everyone else on the offensive end, particularly Ron Artest. The Lakers seem to play their best when Kobe manages to score early, because this opens up everyone else on the offensive end. Ron Artest was scoring well when the Celtics had to collapse on Kobe’s drives and Artest was finally dropping his shots.

In game 6, the Lakers played the best defense seen in a long while, as they held the Celtics to under 70 points and actually tied their worst point total for a Finals game. That’s very good, especially for a team that so many people would write off defensively. Guys like Kobe, Artest, Farmar, Fisher, and even Vujacic were playing excellent man to man defense. The front line was stepping it up, and blocking shots, rotating and bringing help defense when needed. Everything was being executed to perfection on the defense end.
Certainly the Lakers won’t play almost perfect defense again, but if they can hold them to around 80 points, that might be enough. They also received help from the Celtics, since the only players that scored through three quarters were Rondo, Garnett, Pierce, and Allen. Celtics bench scored zero through three.

It will be essential for the Lakers to prevent guys like Pierce and Allen from getting into a grove; because if they do, this series goes to the Celtics. Ray Allen is very experienced and could be the difference between these teams.

Perhaps the Celtics missed their chance. History tells us that six teams have taken a 3-2 lead into an opponent’s building for Games 6 and 7 in an NBA final, and that the only two teams that lost Game 6, the 1994 Knicks and the 1988 Pistons, also lost Game 7. And the home team is 13-3 in Game 7s for the title. But there’s always a statistical counter, and here’s Boston’s: the Lakers and Celtics, in the history of their illustrious rivalry, have played four Game 7s. Boston is unbeaten.

7 is the magic number and to have Boston + 7 in game 7 is the way to go.

Boston +7 @1.96 and Boston to win the NBA finals @3.93

Rajon Rondo is the youngest of the Big 4 of the Boston Celtics, but the best. Rondo has guided the Celtics to a possible 18th championship.
First off, he dominated Mario Chalmers in the Miami Heat series. He guided the Celtics to win in five games over the Heat.He was a machine in the series against the Cavs, outplaying LeBron James. He even had a triple-double in one win over the Cavs. Due to Rondo’s performance, Celtics won in six games.
Then came the Orlando Magic series. Rondo dominated for the third straight series. Jameer Nelson could not keep up with Rondo’s speed and blew by him so many times.The Celtics were up 3-0, but they were about to choke the series. Rajon Rondo and the Big 4 saved the Celtics from elimination, and the team won in six games.Boston is in the Finals. Rondo has a great matchup against an old Derek Fisher. Rondo should easily be the leading scorer for the Celtics in the NBA Finals.

Celtics have a great shot at this final. Even though Kobe was unreal during Game Six of the Western Conference Finals, practically toying with Alvin Gentry and the Suns, basketball is a team sport. Kobe can put the Lakers on his back, and Gasol or Fisher can put up big numbers, but I think it’s still no match for the “Big Four”. Rondo is more than legit, and with this year being potentially the last for Ray Allen in Boston, this is a championship run not worth wasting. The C’s beat LA in 2008, and with Rondo emerging as one of the best point guards in the league, they will do it again in 2010. Celtics win Game Six at home to clinch the ‘ship.

Looking at it from a neutral position, it’s hard to see the Lakers getting past the team basketball that the Celtics play, it’s just too fluid. I’m not saying the Celtics are going to take it 4-0, I hope as much as anyone that it goes down to the wire, but can’t see the Lakers pulling it off.
Celtics defense held Kobe to 40 percent shooting (off his career postseason average of 45 percent) and forced him to commit one turnover per game more than his career postseason average in the ’08 Finals.

Expect Rondo to be the NBA Finals MVP, and for the Boston Celtics to win in six games. That’s the one reason why the Celtics look too good, plus the fact that their bench looks far too deep for the Lakers to handle.

Not a great performance in Phoenix and the Lakers need to bounce back in a big way in Game 5.  This team has always been at their best when the games matter the most, and now realize they need to step up their game.  The Lakers are 18-5 ATS when tied in a playoff series since 1996.  When the Thunder came back to tie their opening round series with L.A. at 2-2, the Lakers went on to win Game 5 in blowout fashion at home by a final of 111-87 as 6-point favorites.  I look for another double-digit blowout in this Game 5 with Phoenix.

Bryant and center Andrew Bynum didn’t appear to practice with the Lakers on Wednesday, although Jackson didn’t say for sure. Bynum is playing on an injured right knee that will require surgery, while Bryant simply takes advantage of every chance to rest his accumulated injuries.

This play also falls under a system that is 39-13 (75%) ATS since 1996.  It tells us to bet on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (LA LAKERS) – double revenge – 2 straight losses vs. opponent against opponent off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog.  The Lakers will play much better defensively tonight and it should lead to a win and cover for the home team.  Take the Lakers in Game 5.

A few NBA statistics to consider :
LA Lakers are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home
The total has gone OVER in 5 of the LA Lakers last 5 games at home
LA Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games when playing at home against Phoenix
LA Lakers are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against Phoenix
LA are 8-2 When playing on Thursday.

So today’s free NBA tip is :

Play Lakers – 7.5 @1,90 only at Pinnacle

Best of luck!
