Rose is on USA Team Roster
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has been named a finalist for the 2010 USA World Championship Team.
The teams head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is also the ring leader of Duke’s basketball program, said Rose performed well in exhibition games against the rest of the players trying out for the team. Coach K told this to Bulls.com about Rose’s performance.
Playoff Picks
This is a little late. The playoffs came fast and quick. The Bulls had so much commotion going on with fighting to get into the playoffs, Vinny Del Negro and John Paxson fighting and Noah blasting Cleveland and Kevin Garnett. Well, this is as good a time as any for my playoff picks.

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Chicago Bulls- Cavs in 5
I would love for the Bulls to win more than one game or even take the series, but it will not happen. Lebron James is just too much for the Bulls to handle. The Bulls played a great game, but still lost game 2. Enough said, I’m going to pout in silence…..
First round drama in game 1
The NBA markets playoff drama every year. They should, because every year the playoffs seem like a day time soap opera for sports fans. This year the drama started in many of the opening games in plenty of the first round series.
The biggest event is the Boston Celtic’s Kevin Garnett getting banned from game two in his team’s series against the Miami Heat. In game one, teammate Paul Pierce fell to the court and laid in pain. Miami Heat’s Quentin Richardson stood over him and said some words. With 40 seconds left in the game, Garnett came to protect Pierce, elbowing Richardson in the face. KG is not allowed to enter the arena for game two and Richardson has to pay a $25,000 fine.
It’s the time to give Awards
The regular NBA 2009-2010 season is officially over, this means it’s time to give away the end of the season awards. This is who I think should take the honors.
MVP
LEBRON JAMES
One and done should be one and done
There has been all kinds of talk about the NBA’s one and done rule. The rule states a player must go to college for at least one year to be eligible for the draft.
College coaches and several analysts have problems with the one and done. Oklahoma’s Head Coach Jeff Capel said it was a bad rule because it makes a mockery out of the education system. A “student-athlete” attends college to be the athlete not the student. Dick Vitale said the players not participating in their education, whether skipping classes or not getting good grades, hurts the education system at the universities. Vitale said players should not be made to go to school if they are not going to go anyway.
Others say special talents like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James or Kevin Garnett shouldn’t have to waste their time going to college when they are already a NBA star before they sign a contract.
The one and done rule should be left alone. This should be the one age requirement stipulation the NBA ever has.
