A.I. Out

Behold Allen Iverson's mugshot.
I'm heading to Oakland tonight to watch my Warriors play the 76ers. Allen Iverson will not be playing for the 76ers as he has taken an indefinite leave from the NBA. No, not because he had affairs with 10 different women a la Tiger Woods. Iverson's daughter is ill and he has taken time away from the game to be with her and the family. That is a really hard choice to make. Iverson has had a rough season and is also aging. But family first!

Released

The San Diego Chargers released running back LaDainian Tomlinson after nine years. Wonder where he will end up next? Ask a guy, see what he says. Chances are he would love to share his opinion.

Everybody Eats It At Some Point

So the Winter Olympics are going on right now in Vancouver and Shaun White is cleaning up the snowboarding events. The Winter X Games were about a month before the Olympics. Shaun face plants on the half pipe so hard that his helmet falls off! I'm really not a fan of the snow. I'd rather be on a hot tropical island, sitting in the sand than vacation in the freezing cold. I've been snowboarding a few times and my body was so sore after. I bet Shaun's face felt like a Hummer ran over it.

Twins!

I love seeing families in professional sports. We've got the Williams sisters in tennis, the Manning brothers in the NFL, and the Lopez Twins in the NBA. Brook plays for the New Jersey Nets and his twin brother Robin plays for the Phoenix Suns. Both were drafted in 2008 after playing for only two years at Stanford. Who doesn't love an athletic set of twins?!

Steph Curry Gets Second Place

The Golden State Warriors' own rookie Stephen Curry participated in Footlocker's 3 Point Shootout over All Star Weekend. He ended up getting second place to Paul Pierce. Way to go Steph! Here are some highlights from the event:

NBA All Stars

This weekend is the NBA All Star game! All the best NBA players are taking a break from their teams to play an East vs. West game. Here is my favorite moment from last year's All Star festivities

He's Going to the Olympics

Well, this is Dan Boyle from the San Jose Sharks.
He will be going to the Olympics and playing for the Canadian hockey team.
I don't really have much else to say about this pic.
