Paul Pierce Knocks Larry Bird to #3 on Celtics Career Scoring List

     Last week during the Boston Celtics vs. the Charlotte Bobcats, Celtics star Paul Pierce claimed the #2 spot on the team’s career scoring list, knocking Celtics’ all-time favorite Larry Bird down to the #3 spot. Pierce went into the game only needing 9 points to tie Bird’s total of 21,791.

     By halftime, Pierce already had seven points and his 3-pointer a few minutes into the third quarter sealed the deal. Pierce’s milestone was met with a standing ovation and an array of applause from the fans. An official announcement was made later in the game in which Pierce took center court, took a bow and blew kisses at the fans.

     Pierce still has quite a ways to go if he’s gunning for the #1 spot which is currently held by John Havlicek with 26,395 points but nonetheless congrats are definitely in order. WAY TO GO Paul Pierce!!!

The Mavericks Put a Ring On It!!!

The 2010-2011 NBA season has finally come to an end and sitting on the throne as this year’s champs are the Dallas Mavericks. Going into Game 6 with a 3-2 advantage in the series, the Mavericks beat out the Miami Heat in 105-95 win to claim the crown. The win was a well-deserved one for vets Dirk Nowitzki who was also the Finals MVP, Jason Terry and most of all Jason Kidd who at 38 and 17 years in the league can at last retire a champ. In reference to losing to the Heat during the Finals back in 2006 Jason Terry says, “Tonight we got vindication.” Enough said…Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks!

In an odd sort of fashion, both the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks are making their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 2006 in which the Heat took home the crown. This time after beating out the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 4-1 series, the Mavericks claimed the Western Conference Championship will go for the gusto once again in earning the ultimate title.

Record Breaking win for LeBron

On Tuesday night the Cleveland Cavaliers won their eighth game in a row with a 106-82 win over the New Jersey Nets. I am sure this was the icing on the cake for forward LeBron James who had 15 points in the first quarter….becoming the youngest NBA player to reach 11,000 career points.

At age 23, this makes him more than a year younger than Lakers guard Kobe Bryant when he reached the milestone.

James’ 31 points and the Cav’s a third-quarter surge put them in command as they improved to 9-2. The Cav’s are not only a half a game behind the NBA champion Boston Celtics, who currently have the best record in the Eastern Conference.

“It’s good that we have that killer mentality early in the season,” James told reporters.

Way to go LeBron! Now we just need a championship.

Unsigned Scorecard Results in Loss for Wie

(Source)

The 18 year old, Michelle Wie, is one of the youngest and greatest female golfers in the game. But this past Saturday at the State Farm Classic, she cost herself thousands by making one fatal mistake. She forgot to sign her scorecard!

Wie sat red-eyed in front of reporters and photographers trying to explain the mistake. She says on Friday after her round by the 9th green tent where players go to sign their scorecards, she was chased down by volunteers who pointed out that she hadn’t signed. Although she returned to the tent and signed the scorecard, the volunteers say because she previously walked outside of the roped tent area with the scorecard unsigned, it was too late and the mistake was final. To add more insult to injury, it wasn’t until Saturday morning that the volunteers told Wie and the officials of the mistake…after she’d played her final round of golf.

Wie said she usually signs her scorecard immediately, and had no idea why she didn’t Friday. “Hopefully it won’t happen again,” she said.

The signature rule is at the heart of golf’s honor system. Golfers are held accountable to maintaining thier scorecards and making sure that officials attest the scorecard.

Wie’s disqualification resulted in her loss of possibly winning the top prize of $255,000.
