The USA basketball team defeated Spain in an exhibition game Sunday afternoon 86-85 behind two clutch free throws from Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant’s 25 points, 10 rebounds and defensive effort.

With 16.5 seconds left in the game, Rose hit two free throws to put USA ahead and eventually win the game. On an interview on ESPN, Rose spoke of his go ahead free throws.

“I thought, ‘I’ve got to hit them,’” Rose said. “Over here, people are going to remember me for this.”

Rose Following the Rainbow

A bright sunny rainbow dropping red,blue, purple,yellow, orange and green Skittles has been spotted.

Where? At Derrick Rose’s house.

Rose is a well known candy addict who has been awarded a Skittles vending machine with his name on it. According to ESPN, Skittles has been sending Rose mass amounts of Skittles since they learned of his sweet tooth, so why not give him his own machine.

Honestly, I’m jealous. The only candy I eat is the colorful S at the end of the rainbow. How do I get one? Never mind, I don’t need one.

The bigger question is, if every athlete said they liked something, do they get it? I’ll ask Reggie Bush.

Top 10 Chicago Bulls After Jordan and Pippen Left

In June of 1998 the Chicago Bulls won their sixth championship of the decade and finished their second three-peat. A few months later, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the icons who were the key elements of the dynasty were gone.

Since the 1998-1999 season, Chicago has seen a mass amount of players come and go. Some were drafted then traded to get a veteran who could help the team. The veteran retired after a season or two or moved on after failing to bring the bulls to a winning season. We all know how the roster played musical names in the early 2000′s.

Even though the team went through a long rebuilding period, there was still enough solid players to form a top ten, especially since the team has been to the playoffs five of the last six years.

This top 10 includes Bulls players from the 1998-1999 season to the 2009-2010 season. I would like to consider Carlos Boozer  or Kyle Korver, but they haven’t played a game as a Bull.  With this said, lets get to the Top 10 Bulls After Jordan and Pippen Left.

I have been pleased with the Bulls pick ups and dealings throughout the summer. ESPN seems to be as well.

Starting today, ESPN has started its summer forecast series where they predict everything that will happen in the NBA next season.

The first forecast is the eastern conference. To my surprise, ESPN recognized the Bulls off-season moves with the number four spot. They’re behind number one Miami Heat, number two Orlando Magic and number three the Boston Celtics.
