Congrats to the USA Basketball team for doing the expected and winning the Gold at the Olympics. I’m especially happy for Chris Bosh as he definitely can use the added confidence from the win. Hopefully that translates in the Raptors getting out of the first round, but he’ll definitely need help. But back on topic, some were calling this years team the “Redeem Team”. To be honest, that name stinks, and whoever came up with that should be ashamed. How dare they disrespect the ORIGINAL DREAM TEAM by using that silly pun. All jokes aside, this Olympic Games has made most basketball heads think back on the ‘92 Dream Team with awe.

Jordan, Bird, Magic, The Admiral, Pippen, Drexler, Stockton, Malone, I am not a role model Barkley, Mullin, Ewing, (Laetner)

Here’s the TOP 10 Countdown.

So after losing BD to the Clip, Chris Mullin had no choice but to lock up Monta Ellis long term. He got the 666 deal, 6 years, 66 million. Now the undisputed face of the franchise, the Warriors continue on after losing Jason Richardson and Baron “Too Easy” Davis over the past two offseasons. But no worries, because Ellis was engineered for Nellie ball and even though they may not be championship contenders, the Warriors should be one of the most electric teams in the Association.

Check out a his TOP 10 plays from 2007. Will try to find some hot plays from ‘07-’08 soon. Enjoy, and watch out for the NASTY FACIAL on BARBOSA.

So it looks like Carlos Delfino won’t be back, and the Raptors will definitely miss his shot, and defense, but with the emergence of Jamario Moon, the Raps just have too many wing men. We hope Moon builds on last year and goes on to be a solid NBA player and not just another Carlos Rogers. Regardless, we love Moon… who doesn’t?

Here are Moon’s TOP 10 Dunks from last year!
