Season Kickoff

Last night the Miami Heat played in the American Airlines Arena, against themselves what they called a "Red and Black scrimmage". It was the first chance for fans to see their first glimpse of this years Heat team, which includes Eddy Curry, Shane Battier, Norris Cole. Also they extended head coach Erik Spolstra's contract.

Now today Lebron opened his highly anticipated store "Unknwn" in Aventura Mall, which I was lucky enough to go to  go to and even be one of the first ten people to go in. I was able to get two exclusive Lebron shoes called the Cannons and Free gums (only 150 released pairs). It was an amazing store which contains more than just basketball clothing and gear. Lebron had a private viewing tonight for people with special invitation's to attend at the store, which I wasn't invited to.

Now, Their first game is Christmas day against the NBA champions Dallas Mavericks. Its an NBA finals rematch. Where lebron will debue his Christmas Day Lebron 9's which come out the 26th, lets just hope that he has improved which I'm sure he has on his finishing performance, Bosh has gotten bigger (this was a big off-season for him), and wade has gotten healthier. This could be a redemption for them. I'm predicting that they will go to the Finals and win, but then all people who hate the Heat will use the lockout and this shortened season as an excuse. All in all, I expect a bigger, better, stronger Miami Heat.      

Paul a Clipper

Chris Paul finally signed with LA....The LA Clippers that is. He will have the luxury of playing aside Blake Griffin, De Andrea Jordan, and Chauncey Billups. Many questions now arise since the signing of Paul, the biggest one, which team owns LA now? Obviously history wise the Lakers do, due to all the hall of famers they've had, and all the championships they've won. But when we talk present day, some are saying its the end of the Kobe era, and when you subtract Odom from that roster (because he was traded to out of all places, Dallas another big western conference contender, and NBA champions) Griffin and Paul seem like a dynamic duo. Are the clippers now the team to beat? I guess we'll find out.
