Ricky Rubio

I read on the internet that Minnesota Timberwolves are signing Ricky Rubio on Wed night. But it turns out that the Timberwolves are still working out other prospect to fill in the rooster for their team on NBA 2012 seasons. Player names already appears and there are few names that must be noticable by NBA fans. Names such as Quincy Douby, Orien Greene, DeShawn Sims, Alexander Johnson and Matt Janning.

NBA Finals

As NBA finals begin, Heat marvel at 38-year-old Jason Kidd’s longevity. There are two things Heat forward LeBron James remembers from watching Mavericks guard Jason Kidd play in the early days of his NBA career. First, is Kidd’s hairstyle and the others is how good he is. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra also marveled at the 38-year-old Kidd, calling him “the ultimate quarterback.”

All in good fun, Heat guard Dwyane Wade said he thinks Kidd’s career began in a different NBA era. Kidd is the oldest guard to start a game in NBA finals. He has missed only two games this season while averaging 34 minutes per game.

On the other story, Dwyane Wade has rarely watched tapes of his heroics in the last four games of the 2006 NBA finals, when he led the Heat past the Mavericks for the title. The NBA finals are also the biggest series of Heat forward Chris Bosh’s life, and he says staying cool and calm will be a key for him. Intensity is a given, Bosh said before Game 1. “It’s another series. We just have to put everything aside and play basketball.

As part of his superstitious preparation for Game 1 of the NBA finals between Dallas and Miami, Mavericks guard Jason Terry wore souvenir shorts from the 2006 finals, when his team lost to the Heat.The night before every game, Terry sleeps in the shorts of the team he’s going to play against. That meant he needed Heat shorts.

In terms of sheer entertainment value, a Dallas-Miami Finals should be pretty special. This year’s Dallas squad is far more resilient than the 2006 team. Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki are the only holdovers and Dirk has gotten tougher and better, scoring at an all-time high efficiency and — for the first time in his career — consistently punishing smaller defenders. Further, with Rick Carlisle, the Mavs have now have a coach tailored to their style.

All in all, Haslem held Dirk to 31 percent shooting when guarding him.

LeBron James is another option for Erik Spoelstra, but only in limited bursts. In late-game scenarios when the Heat must have a stop, James could defend Dirk. His combination of power and speed held Rose to 1-15 shooting in the Eastern Conference Finals. Against an elite defense like Miami, I worry that Dallas has the same problem.

Monaco Grand Prix

Mark Webber today shall try to fix his position among the F1 legends by winning his second straight Monaco Grand Prix. Following a mixed start to the season, the Red Bull driver has begun to find his speed, and on a track where experience counts for everything, Webber will be among the favorites to win the world’s greatest motor-race here in Monaco Grand Prix. On one of the narrowest grids in world motor-sport, Webber can not afford to drop a place on the line. With the new tyre an unknown at Monaco, Red Bull Racing will have to think on their feet to bring Webber in at the right time.

In other report, Sebastian Vettel said that pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix remains very important despite the increased overtaking seen this year. The German driver secured his fifth pole in six races in an interrupted qualifying session on Saturday. And although the Red Bull driver conceded the race at Monte Carlo will be very long and difficult, Vettel insists starting from the top spot is still vital.

NFL lockout

It is a different side from glamorous NFL competition that we saw on TV. Several NFL teams have announced furloughs or payroll deductions for their office staff and even coaches during the current NFL lockout. The longer the lockout goes, the antsiest owners will get. The owners are banking on the NFL Players Association cracking first. While players won’t start losing game checks until the regular season begins, many have lost contract bonuses for organized team workouts. It’s the reason owners have fought so hard for the lockout in court. It is reported that Coaches are siding with the players.
