To end the 8 days of free agency Lebron James decided to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh for a chance to win a title this year and the future.  The decision was held in Greenwich, Connecticut.

“The best opportunity to win and to win now and to win in the future also,” James said. “Winning is a huge thing for me.”

James sacrifices almost everything just to contend for an NBA title. Moving to Miami makes his legacy less noticed than Kobe and Jordan who sticked in one team the rest of their careers.

Cleveland Cavaliers fans were all disappointed on Lebron’s decision and even some of his fans burned Lebron James Cavs jersey.

“They can have mixed emotions, of course,” James said, adding that Akron will “always be home for me.”

I think Lebron and Wade is not compatible and add the fact that Bosh is with them. I think they can’t win championship right away. As the analyst said “it will take time” Pat Riley needs to bring up all the pieces like the Boston Celtics did in 2008. Money terms is still an issue here and anything can still happens until all of them sign their contracts.

Here is the List of NBA Teams that completes the cast of 2010 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Division Teams:

1. Los Angeles Lakers
2. Dallas Mavericks
3. Utah Jazz
4. Phoenix Suns
5. Denver Nuggets
6. Oklahoma City Thunder
7. Portland Trail Blazers
8. San Antonio Spurs

You see every game now is important for the Western Conference Teams because every game will affect their ranking especially those who are at the bottom of the standings like Portland and San Antonio. But I am very much sure that the 2010 Western Conference Playoffs is much more exciting because every team is competitive unlike on the Eastern Conference Side.

Last Year, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers won last year’s division championship. Who do you think will win the 2010 Western Conference Championship Trophy? I guess Lakers will have it back to back and pass through the 2010 NBA Playoffs smoothly.

Here are the 2010 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Teams

1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Orlando Magic
3. Atlanta Hawks
4. Boston Celtics
5. Milwaukee Bucks
6. Miami Heat
7. Charlotte Bobcats
8. Toronto Raptors

A lot of Eastern Conference Teams this year are dangerous but I still believe that Cleveland Cavaliers this time will make it and will claim the Eastern Conference Championship. Although a lot of teams this year improved their performances and surprisingly entered the NBA Playoffs 2010.

Well take your pick on the NBA Eastern Conference Teams for the 2010 NBA Playoffs. Take my advice; there will be an upset for this NBA Playoffs.

Statistically speaking the Cleveland Cavaliers will take the number one spot in Eastern Conference Division of the NBA Playoffs 2010 and also the number one spot in the league. This will be a huge advantage as we all know that the number one ranked team will enjoy the home court advantage in all series including the 2010 NBA Championship series.

Meanwhile, the defending champions Los Angeles Lakers will be the number one team in the Western Conference Division but will surely miss the opportunity to take the series advantage in the 2010 NBA Championship. The back to back seeking Lakers are 5 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and in the losing streak at the time of this post.

It is surely will be an interesting 2010 NBA Playoffs and I think that there will be a lot of upsets coming just like last year’s NBA Playoffs when the Orlando Magic knocked out the number one seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. New teams will enter the NBA Playoffs 2010 and the teams to watch out for this year will be Charlotte Bobcats and Milwaukee Bucks for the Eastern Conference and Oklahoma City Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers in Western Conference Division.

I hope both Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers will pass through this NBA Playoffs 2010.

I didn’t really saw the exact moment when Rodney Stucky collapses as it was commercial during time out.When the broadcast resumes the topic were already on Rodney Stuckey. Take a look at the game recap of Cavaliers vs Pistons below included is the Rodney Stuckey Collapse Video and the what they called Rodney Stuckey Seizure Video during a game vs Boston last year.

Medical personnel rushed over to the Pistons’ bench with a stretcher. Play was halted for 12 minutes as the medical staff worked on Stuckey, placed an oxygen mask on his face and wheeled him into an ambulance.

You can see the worried face of all the players in the court and off the court including Cleveland players as they were looking on Rodney Stuckey being attended by medical personnel after Stuckey Collapses.

Vince Carter hits  a 86-foot shot sitting down and it was really insane.

After practice Dwight Howard sits down and starts shooting basketballs from the other side of the court. Vince Carter joins sits in and beats him.

Here is the Vince Carter 86-Foot Shot Video:

Michael Jordan will be the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. Jordan will be the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats by the end of next month after MJ struck a deal with owner Bob Johnson to take over the money-losing team.

This is a very big challenge for the basketball hall of fame Michael Jordan. Charlotte Bobcats has never entered the playoffs during 6-years franchise and struggled to win fans resulting to a $150 Million debt.

Before this ownership issue, Jordan was the head of Charlotte Bobcats basketball operations.

Now many people around the world are expecting that Jordan could turn things around for Charlotte Bobcats and his basketball greats could be applied in acquiring the ownership of the Charlotte  Bobcats.

Stay tune for other last minute news on 2010 NBA Trade.

After the 2010 NBA All Star Game is the announcement of the NBA Player of the Decade 2000-2009. The NBA Player of the decade is one category of  TNT All Decade recognition and with that the fans get to vote the player they tought is the best during the decade from 2000-2009.

It was quite interesting that the NBA let the fans vote for this category but they really should. The NBA Player of the Decade was just won by who else? Kobe Bryant! I think no one could ever question that, the fans voted it right! Altough some thought that Tim Duncan should have won the recognition and others may say that Shaquille O’neal could have won. But I think not.

Yeah right, Shaq is the most dominant player during the decade but he couldn’t won a championship without the help of Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade who by the way won the 2010 NBA All Star Game MVP. Same thing with Tim Duncan, Timmy is one of the most talented Big Man of all time, no question about that but I think the fans voted for the player that made the most impact and they think really deserves it. Lebron James didn’t got the award because he just played for several years in the NBA.

Kobe Bryant was named NBA Player of the Decade from 2000-2009 and garnered a whopping 54% of the total votes via online at NBA.com. Kobe for my opinion is really the best among the best players in NBA and not because I idolize him personally.

Just imagine this, Kobe Bryant with 25,000 career points, four championship rings, countless game winning buzzer beaters, 40 plus points games, 50 plus points games, several All Star Game MVP, one-time regular season MVP and the most memorable of the decade, scored 81 points in a game. What more can you ask for?

Kobe Bryant the NBA Player of the Decade from 2000-2009 and top others including Lebron James in second with 17% of total votes, Shaquille O’neal with 13%, Tim Duncan with 8%, Steve Nash with 5% and Kevin Garnett with 3%.
