JASON & HOPE PAKIRAJU PRTLJAGU: Pod trade tepihom 40MIL/2Y...

Nets point guard Jason Kidd on Monday confirmed what many have suspected for months: He's looking for a way out of New Jersey.

The report added that Kidd believes a move is needed to help the franchise. Kidd also is the most tradeable of the Nets' core players, the report said, citing the burdensome contracts of Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson.
ESPN's report did not contain any response from the club.

New York-area media long suspected that Kidd was looking for an exit. The team's current situation surely isn't helping matters; New Jersey's on a nine-game losing streak and ninth in the Eastern Conference at 18-26.



Kidd, 34, told ESPN that he would be fine with going to just a more competitive team and not only to a Finals contender. Last season the Nets were close to trading Kidd to the Lakers, but the deal died when L.A. refused to include young center Andrew Bynum.

NELLY BRINGING BACK C-WEBB: 'Dre Biedrins records 26 BOARDS in win over NY Knicks...

MJ'S SON – JEFF JORDAN: scores on a drive to the basket, drawing a foul in the process. However, he fails to convert what would have been his first three-point play for the Illinois Fighting Illini. JJ played well (Aug. 31, 2007) in the exhibition against Canadian national champs Carleton University. The walk-on scored six points, grabbed one steal and played significant minutes during overtime for the Illini. In the end, the Big Ten team pulled off the victory over the Ravens 74-72 in overtime. Father Michael Jordan was a no-show for his son's debut after determining that there are no private boxes in the bandbox gym that seats only 1,500.


"LIKE FATHER LIKE SON“
Unlike Mike


The son of the greatest basketball player in history averages just 0.9 points. But you would never guess that by listening to him describe his freshman season at Illinois.

A try?

Yes, it's true. With no athletic scholarship offer, Michael Jordan's oldest boy had to join the Illini as a walk-on. He's averaging a measly 4.2 minutes per game and has made just three shots all season. Statistically, he sounds like a rare heir to Rare Air.

The refreshing thing is that, at Illinois, no one seems to care.

Nearly three months into his college career, Jeff isn't being deified by Illini fans. He said his classmates don't sweat him because of his dad or tease him because he can't do a 360-dunk.

Instead they're treating him like any other college student, which is all Jeff ever hoped for in the first place.

"I actually dealt with it more in high school than I do now," Jeff said of the attention he often receives because of his father. "On campus everyone has been great. Sometimes we'll go out to eat when we're out of town and people will (approach) me. But my teammates look out for me in those situations."

He pauses.

"Even then, it really doesn't affect me much," Jeff said. "I've been dealing with it my whole life."

It's not as if Jeff hasn't received any fanfare during the last few months. When Illinois opened the season with an exhibition tour of Canada, Jeff had to conduct a separate press conference each day to accommodate the throng of media that was tracking his every move. One evening, when players went eat dinner, strangers began yelling Jeff's name and taking his picture as he stepped off the team bus.

Of course, at that point, he was just glad to be on the Illini roster.

Wasn't long ago when Jeff figured his basketball career would end after his final high school game. He averaged 15 points as a senior at Loyola Academy in Highland Park, Illinois, but without any big-time scholarship offers, he seemed content to give up the sport and enroll at Illinois on an academic scholarship.

"I was just going to be a regular student," he said. "But then I met the guys on the team and got along with all of them so well. I figured I'd come in with no expectations and see how I did the first year. If it didn't work out, it didn't work out." Even though he hasn't played much of a factor for the Illini, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Jeff said he couldn't be more pleased with his progress the first year.

A wing player in high school, Jeff has moved to point guard at the request of head coach Bruce Weber, who praised the freshman for adapting to a new position.

"Even if you were a point guard in high school, the intensity level here is so much higher," Weber said. "Some freshmen get in there and play scared. But he doesn't do that. He's very aggressive."

Weber said Jeff's biggest weakness is his three-point shooting, but he praised his midrange game and his ability to slash into the paint.

Still, according to Weber, Jeff's most impressive characteristic is the way he conducts himself off the court.

"He's as humble as any kid we have in our program," Weber said. "He's proud to be Michael's son, but at the same time he enjoys being Jeffery Jordan."

As for dear old dad, Michael Jordan was on hand to watch Illinois play Duke in the Maui Invitational in November, but he's yet to attend a game in Champaign because of his duties as the part-owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.

Still, that doesn't mean Jeff isn't asking his old man for advice.



The information seems to be coming in handy. Weber said he wouldn't be at all surprised if Jeff became a significant contributor for the Illini by the time he's a junior.

If that happens, the spotlight that seems so dim may suddenly become bright.

NCAA @NASN: Connecticut vs Indiana (14.00)

NBA DUNK WARS: tried to get most of the rare dunks from the past years in the NBA into this mix. Thanks to Defamous23 for most of the clips.


Zaista odlična analiza cijenjenog kolege Kristiana Hohnjeca o SMS-prekidu odnosa Cibone & Ayusa, ali kako nikada svi ne mogu biti na jednoj strani jer bi zavladala komorna atmosfera u eteru evo zašto je Ayuso doveden in the first place. He was told to shot the ball, but he was not given the ball, it is as simple as that...

U detaljnije analize neću ulaziti, smatram da je za ofenzivni segment Ayusove igre dovoljan Haklerov komentar:

PERFECT GAME 4 RAPTORS vs CELTICS (33-7): 58% za dvicu, 71% za tricu, 100% iz sl.bacanja

CIBONINA „PILA NAOPAKO“ – ŠTO JE GORE, A ŠTO DOLJE? Katastrofa protiv LeMansa, teoretski još imaju šanse. Svijetla točka je u zadnje dvije euro-tekme postao Hoskin, podsjetio nas je u trenucima na CHUCKA PERSONA iz najboljih dana vs Celtics '91. Ipak ponoviti ću da Hoskin nije doveden zbog „vatrene moći“, za to su trebali biti zaduženi Warren & Ayuso. Roster je (preočito) krivo posložen i Slavko Cvitković je naravno bio u pravu kada je ustvrdio da se „velike momčadi stvaraju, a ne kupuju“ (barem u Europi). Ayusova Budućnost: iako su njegovi najrecentniji nastupi daleko ispod naše razine očekivanja, siguran sam da ga u slučaju odlaska iz Savske čeka barem jedna ponuda iz susjedstva i koja lopta više...možda je zato i doveden, in the first place??

USC's Mayo might have broken NCAA rule by accepting Lakers tickets


Southern California freshman standout O.J. Mayo might have violated an NCAA rule by accepting free tickets to Monday night's NBA game between Denver and the Los Angeles Lakers from Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony.

Mayo told reporters Tuesday he had received the tickets, which were located behind courtside seats near mid-court at Staples Center and had a face value of $230 each.

The NCAA could consider Anthony a friend who gave Mayo the tickets rather than a representative of the Nuggets, perhaps making the matter legal by NCAA standards.

LARRY AYUSO WALLPAPER by HRC


OK, OK...

Prije nego što se počne sa otkazima i novim akvizicijama usred sezone toliko tipičnima za ovo nogometno podneblje, pozivam kritičnu masu koja je ispred Tornja otpočela medijski linč, da prvo baci pogled na sljedeća dva broja, jer brojevi NIKADA ne lažu:

Za one od Vas koji su upravo stigli iz Maksimira, pojasniti ću da se radi o prosjecima poena po utakmici, te da je Larry Ayuso, ma koliko blijedo igrao u odnosu na žute dane i dalje druga napadačka opcija ove Cibonine momčadi. Možda griješim, možda bi njegov odlazak značio prosperitet za Hoskina & Kelleya, ali danas ću uložiti dio teško stečenog kredita na Ayusovo polje, pa makar njegov otkaz bio neminovan.

Zabio je 0 poena u jednom poluvremenu protiv europske košarkaške institucije i miran k'o bubica odsjedio cijelo drugo poluvrijeme. Cibonu čeka ključna utakmica protiv LeMansa. Tko će šutirati eventualnu ključnu loptu na toj utakmici bez Ayusa? Suviše predvidivo. Jordan ne bi postao pobjednik da nije imao Pippena. Warren jednostavno treba Ayusa u ovoj situaciji, osim ako ne smatrate da Hoskin može igrati šutera, a Kelley skakati..



BTW, Final Four Kupa Krešimira Ćosića igra se početkom veljače u Trnskom, a Larryu ti koševi itekako leže.

Nije istina da se nije pokušao prilagoditi momčadi. Što činiti ako ga se želi zadržati? Razgovarati o problemima, najlakše je odrezati ruku, a kasnije razbijati glavu zbog toga. Treba itekako dobro razmisliti in the first place.

I rest my case, naravno da ću ovo potpisati...

MARTIN LUTHER KING'S DAY: Bulls (16-23) go to 3-0 vs. Pistons (29-12) this season...

S VRHA MOSORA: ZORAN SLAVNIĆ a.k.a. MOKA, NEKAD NAJBOLJI EUROPSKI PLAYMAKER,TRENER ŠIBENKE I JUGOPLASTIKE I PRVI SELEKTOR REPREZENTACIJE SRBIJE


Aco, zašto mi se ne javljaš?


Smeta li vam zafrkancija na vaš račun: Moka Slavnić ušao je u povijest srbijanske košarke kao jedini selektor koji na službenim utakmicama nije zabilježio nijednu pobjedu!

- Dobro zezanje mi nikad ne smeta. Na moj račun pogotovo. Ali, to što ste čuli je glupost. Naime, ja sam prvi selektor košarkaške reprezentacije Srbije! Otkad je Srbija samostalna država, nitko nije vodio našu reprezentaciju osim mene...

Činjenica je da se reprezentacija Srbije, pod vašim vodstvom, vratila s Eurobasketa u Španjolskoj već nakon prvog kruga, bez ijedne pobjede...

- To je istina. Doživjeli smo rezultatski neuspjeh, ali ja sam i prije početka Europskog prvenstva bio svjestan da je s tako mladom reprezentacijom moguć neuspjeh. To sam i izjavljivao. Nisam odstupio od jedinog ispravnog puta: selekcionirao sam najperspektivnije igrače koje imamo, s njima krenuo u Europu! Nismo uspjeli, ja se ne kajem što sam tako odlučio. Oni su budućnost naše košarke, put koji sam izabrao je jedini mogući ispravan košarkaški put. Druga je stvar što je predsjednik Košarkaškog saveza Srbije, moj dvostruki kum Dragan Kapičić, s kojim godinama nisam u nikakvim odnosima, s kojim sam se mirno razdužio, kao Česi i Slovaci, odustao od dogovorenog i zacrtanog puta...

...Smijenjeni ste, novi selektor je postao Dušan Ivković!

- Da! Ja sam primjer kako revolucija jede svoju djecu. Umjesto da uživam plodove superhrabre odluke da na Eurobasket krenem s mladim lavovima, koji će sigurno dokazati na idućim natjecanjima, te plodove će ubrati Dušan Ivković. Jednako kao prije dvadeset godina kad je uskočio za selektora reprezentacije Jugoslavije koju je selekcionirao košarkaški genije Krešimir Ćosić. U čemu sam, to s ponosom ističem, i ja sudjelovao...

Koliko znam, Krešo Ćosić tad vas je zamolio da mu kažete koga u srbijanskoj košarci vidite kao vrlo perspektivne igrače!

- Zvao me je i kazao doslovno ovo: „Care, ja znam na koje mlade igrače iz Hrvatske mogu računati. Ajde, vidi šta perspektivnoga ima u Srbiji!“ To sam učinio...

...I preporučili mu Divca, Đorđevića, Paspalja...

- Sad se neću busati u prsa i govoriti kako sam bio vidovit. Ali ću kazati ono što je istina: znam košarkaško znanje! Znam košarku. I zato tvrdim da je danas u košarci, u svim državama bivše Jugoslavije, a slobodno mogu kazati i u Europi, malo košarkaških znalaca u ulozi trenera...

...Ni vi kao trener niste dostigli vašu igračku slavu...

- Kad sam završio zaista uspješnu i trofejnu karijeru kazao sam: „Bože, daj mi kao treneru barem deset posto od onoga što si mi dao kao igraču!“ I Bog me poslušao...


Sa Šibenikom u srcu

Zašto onda od Boga niste tražili veći postotak?

- U pravu ste, da sam ga zamolio bilo koji postotak, dao bi mi ga. Kao trener ostvario sam svoj najveći san: bio sam selektor reprezentacije svoje države! Istina, taj san mi je bio malo košmaran, ali ponosim se što sam prvi košarkaški selektor u povijesti samostalne Srbije. I ponosim se onim što sam učinio kao trener...

...U Šibeniku i Splitu!

- Svugdje. A Šibenik i Split su posebno mjesto u mojem trenerskom životu. I životu uopće. S tim da imam različit odnos prema ta dva divna grada. U Šibeniku su me svi voljeli, Splitu sam trebao. Na Gripama, gdje i danas imam prave prijatelje, sam odradio posao, sve ono što sam obećao sam i učinio. I više od toga. Ali, Split me nikad nije primio tako otvorenog srca kao Šibenik. Nosim ga u srcu. Ljubav između mene i Šibenika je bila velika obostrana ljubav. Snažna ljubav. Iskrena ljubav. U Šibeniku mi je bilo predivno. Tamo su mi dali ljubav, mislim da sam i ja njima dao mnogo. I to me čini sretnim...

Čuo sam kako ste kazali da ste tužni što vas nitko od Šibenčana nije došao vidjeti u Zadar, kad ste tamo prije nekoliko godina, kao trener Atlasa, igrali europsku utakmicu...

- Da, to me zaboljelo. Kao da su se Šibenčani plašili da im tko ne bi zamjerio što su došli vidjeti svoga Moku u Zadar. Kazao sam tad u šali: „Šibenčani, Tuđman je umro, nemate se više razloga plašiti da ćete se susresti s nekim iz Srbije!“

Zadrani su vas dočekali velikim pljeskom...

- To mi je bilo neočekivano, zahvalan sam Zadranima zbog toga. Naježio sam se od toga pljeska. Ali, Zadrani su me, i dok sam igrao, cijenili...

... Koliko se sjećam onda su vas vrijeđali s tribina...

- Kad sam u Jazinama igrao za Zvezdu svašta su mi vikali: srpska svinjo, cigane, beogradski majmune... A kad bi utakmica završila, kad bi se spustio košarkaški zastor, prilazili su mi i govorili: bravo majstore!


Uzor: Pino Giergia!

Jedan Zadranin bio je vaš jedini košarkaški idol, uzor!

- Da, to je legendarni Pino Giergia. Bio je svjetski playmaker. Zbog dva YU sportaša hiljade, hiljade djece počeli su igrati košarku i nogomet. Jedan je zadarski Pino, a drugi nogometaš Dragoslav Šekularac. Dva sportska čarobnjaka. Eto, ja opet hvalim Pina, učinio sam to tko zna koliko puta, a on o meni nikad nije kazao lijepu riječ...

Ja sam svjedok da vas Giuseppe Giergia cijeni kao velikog košarkaša!

- On je narcisoidan čovjek, takvima hvaljenje drugih nije baš navika. Ali ja ga zaista cijenim kao svjetsku klasu. Nego, kako se podnose u istom klubu dva narcisoidna čovjeka – Pino i Aco Petrović?

Ne znam da su narcisoidni, ali znam da su vrlo uspješni i da Zadar ove sezone igra odlično!

- Što, ne znate da su Pino i Aco narcisoidni!? OK, ne date na svoje susjede. Imate pravo. Ali, morate znati da obojicu poštujem!

Znam za Pina, nisam znao za Acu...

- Aco Petrović je danas, uvažavajući sve hrvatske trenere, posebno Jasmina Repešu i Nevena Spahiju, za mene najbolji hrvatski trener. Drago mi je da je na klupi Zadra, da baš u Jazinama dokaže Ciboni kako prevaga nisu igrači nego baš treneri. Aco je broj jedan. U brzini razmišljanja, kreativnosti, pravim potezima s klupe... Smijem li nešto poručiti Aci?

Tko vam brani, izvol'te!

- Aco, bili smo vrlo bliski, što je reći da se odavno ne javljaš!? Mogu i tebi kazati ono što i mojim Šibenčanima... Da, da, to vrijedi i za tebe, i ti si Šibenčanin: Franjo Tuđman je umro, slobodno i bez straha možeš mi se javiti u Beograd!
Veliki trener Novosel

Znate onu priču: veliki igrač ne mora biti veliki trener!

- Točno. Niti svaki veliki igrač mora postati veliki trener, niti netko tko nije bio veliki igrač nema šanse postati veliki trener. Ali, taj, tko nije bio veliki igrač, mora biti pametan čovjek da uspije kao trener. Tko mi sad od takvih pada na pamet... Aha, Jose Mourinho i Rafa Benitez. Siguran sam da su obojica u školi bili oslobođeni tjelesnog odgoja, ali su kao pametni ljudi uspjeli na trenerskoj klupi. Kod nas i kod nas je sasvim druga pjesma...

Koja?

- Znam da pravu šansu ne dobivaju pravi. Nego oni koji zadovoljavaju ukuse predsjednika, klupskih gazda... Obično najviše šansi imaju ulizice. Što si blesaviji i manje znaš, imaš više šansi proći kod tih koji su jednako tako blesavi i jednako malo znaju. Znanje svima smeta. Kad ti netko kaže da si inteligentan, promoćuran, kreativan, vispren, pametan, to ti mora goditi. Ali, odmah si osuđen na neuspjeh. Nećeš ni dobiti šansu baš zato što si takav. To je naša sudbina! Ne samo u košarci, nego u sportu uopće. I ne samo u sportu...Sve se oprašta osim uspjeha. Biti uspješan znači navući na sebe bijes, ljubomoru, zavist... Nevjerojatno, ali istinito!

Mislite li još uvijek da je Mirko Novosel najveći košarkaški trener bivše Jugoslavije?

- Da! Mirko je najveći. Osvajao je olimpijska, svjetska i europska zlata i srebra, činio je to s tri različite generacije. On je najzaslužniji što smo počeli osvajati zlatne medalje, što smo godinama „ubijali“ dotad nedodirljivi SSSR. Rusi su od nas umirali od straha. Mirko nam nije gušio individualnost, puštao nas je da igramo, nije nas tlačio nekakvom šah-košarkom. Učio nas je igrati se i pobjeđivati. To mi je savršeno odgovaralo.
Broj jedan: Krešo Ćosić!

Ne mogu ne spomenuti Dražena Petrovića...

- Samo me nemojte pitati jesam li ga ja stvorio!? Ne! Stvorili su ga otac Jole i majka Biserka. Kad sam došao na Baldekin vidio sam da je to košarkaško čudo od talenta, uveo sam ga u prvu momčad s 14,5 godina! Ostalo sve znate...

A Toni Kukoč i Dino Rađa? Koliko su oni vaši...

- Ne volim te priče. Rekli su mi da je Toni mršav, fizički slab, da ima ruku i ima mota, ali ne može onako mek i tanak u prvoligašku konkurenciju. Za Dina su govorili da ima velike guzice i da je spor. E, ali ja sam u njima odmah vidio NBA potencijal. I dao sam im pravu šansu i pravu minutažu u prvoj momčadi Jugoplastike. Znate što je dalje bilo...

Stalno, u svakoj prilici ističete: Krešimir Ćosić bio je za sve europske košarkaše svih vremena profesor doktor!

- To je istina. Bio je čudo od igrača i čudo od čovjeka. Bio je naš neprikosnoveni komandant. Nije bio egoist. Ni na parketu ni izvan njega. Nitko nikad u Europi nije igrao košarku tako dobro kao Krešo Ćosić. Moj dragi Žila. I zato neka nitko nikoga ne uspoređuje s Krešom. Zato jer će ispasti smiješan...

Dogodine navršavate 60 godina. Je li vrijeme za početak nekakve inventure života...

- Kakva inventura!? Kad je netko ovako blesav u duši kao što sam ja, taj ne stari tako lako. Svakog rođendana kažem sam sebi: jel' moguće da imaš toliko godina!? Ja se još uvijek igram u životu i uživam u toj igri. Pa neka svatko misli što hoće...

Ne krijete da vas jedna stvar strašno nervira, žalosti...

- Da. Svjestan sam da je Jugoslavija umrla, da više nema bratstva-jedinstva. Ali, ne prihvaćam da ga nije bilo! Bilo ga je, bilo! Stvarali smo ga i mi na košarkaškom parketu. U reprezentaciji koja je cijeloj Jugoslaviji onda donosila neizmjernu radost. OK, danas se više ne volimo, ali nemojte govoriti da se nikad nismo voljeli. Jesmo!


Splitski kvartet

Splićani su uvijek davali poseban pečat reprezentaciji. Vedrinom i zafrkancijom najbliži mi je bio Rato Tvrdić. Pravi kapetan! Volim Ratu, volim i Peru Skansija, Damira Šolmana, Željka Jerkova... Taj splitski kvartet posebno cijenim. Često se sjetim svog društva iz splitskog Hotela Park gdje smo noćima pričali o svemu i svačemu. Pred očima su mi Jaman, Josip, doktor Kostiov... I cijeli tadašnji splitski sportski parlament, kako su ih u Splitu zvali. Bilo je tu filozofskih rasprava, znalo bi svanuti, a mi bismo još raspravljali o tko zna čemu. Poručujem ono što sam im već poručio: Moka Slavnić je ostao isti!


Jadranska liga

Znam da su sve glasniji oni koji ne žele regionalnu košarkašku ligu, koji tvrde da je ona ubila domaća prvenstva. Ja ne govorim da se radi o ubojstvu, ali definitivno državnim prvenstvima treba dati prioritet. Ne može se prvenstvo države strpati u dva mjeseca, a da u Italiji, Grčkoj, Španjolskoj, Turskoj, Francuskoj... u svim velikim košarkaškim državama traje od jeseni do proljeća. Jadranska liga – da! Ali, ona ne smije biti važnija od državnog prvenstva. Nema ništa slađe nego biti prvak svoje države...

MICHAEL JORDAN 1996 - 46pts Vs. Washington Bullets: There really seemed to be no reason for MJ to come out against the mediocre Bullets with this sort of tenacity. But watching the game closely, it seemed MJ purposely set up his jumpers in order to open up his drives to challenge the 7-7 Muresan for a dunk. Big Men were just the main course during MJ's reign and Muresan just came along a little to late for his own good. There was no doubt that MJ made several attacks with Muresan on his mind but the collapsing Washington defense averted a few embarrassing moments for the Big Guy. But, nevertheless, with 46pts on 52% shooting and the cool victory, MJ still had plenty to be happy with. This performance was sandwiched inside an 11-game span where MJ averaged 55.1% with a low of 50% and a high of 64.3% while scoring 27-48 points per game for a 36.2ppg average. But then again, considering a career that spanned 1072 games at 50% and 30.1ppg, that's just a normal drop in the bucket.

Like Zadar kept its winning streak with the eleventh victory in a row, (Stallworth 27pts/35min) this time against Široki Prima pivo, so did Crvena zvezda and Hemofarm kept their excellent position on the standings.

Crvena zvezda indeed needed to play an overtime against Budućnost after Mladen Šljivančanin made a 3-pointer to tie the result at the very end of the regular part but the dramatic finish then turned the course of the game into its favour.

In Vršac, this went pretty different. Hemofarm dictated the rhythm almost through the whole game despite all problems in recent days but in the middle of the last period Union Olimpija reduced the margin to 77:80 and showed some signs of a possible turn which finally vanished in a minute or two when Hemofarm strenghten its defense.

EUROLEAGUE WEEK 11 MVP: LOREN WOODS


STERN vs NAMJEŠTANJE
For first time since '82, NBA upholds protest requiring replay


For the first time since 1982, the NBA is sending two teams back to the court for a do-over.

The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out, the league said Friday.

The Hawks won 117-111 at home in overtime Dec. 19, but strike that one from the books. For now, playoff-contending Atlanta has one less win, while the Heat have one less loss on their hapless record.



Making it a truly miserable day: Atlanta followed up NBA commissioner David Stern's decision by losing to Washington 102-98 in overtime.

The NBA said the replay will be held before Miami's next visit to Atlanta on March 8. Play will start from the time after O'Neal's disputed sixth foul, with the Hawks leading 114-111.



The Hawks also were fined $50,000, with Stern ruling the team was "grossly negligent" in failing to address the mistake.

The protest is the first granted by the NBA since December 1982, when then-NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien upheld a request for a replay by the San Antonio Spurs after their 137-132 double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers the previous month.



The Spurs and Lakers finally finished the game in April 1983, with San Antonio winning 117-114.

The Hawks were caught off guard by Stern's ruling, feeling he was trying to send a message in light of another scoring mistake that occurred in Atlanta early last season.

"Come on," Gearon said. "You can see how many times coaches, assistant coaches and trainers walk up to (the scoring table) during a game. They're walking up there for a reason. They're asking questions, whether it's confirming timeout or points or other issues."

Team spokesman Arthur Triche said no one on the stat crew had been replaced, but changes have been made in the way they operate. Two people run the official book at courtside, while the four-person computer stat crew is 26 rows above the court in another press location. The two crews are supposed to check with each other if any discrepancies come up.

"While it was an honest mistake made on the table, there was a communication breakdown in not following through the procedures that are in place," Triche said. "That's why we're in this predicament."



The Hawks were leading 112-111 in overtime when O'Neal was called for a foul. The official scorers said it was the Miami center's sixth foul, when actually it was only his fifth.

The mistake stemmed from a foul with 3:24 remaining in the fourth quarter that was called on Udonis Haslem but was mistakenly credited to O'Neal at the scoring table.





Stern ruled the Hawks "failed to follow league-mandated scoring procedures and failed to respond effectively when the members of the statisticians' crew noticed the mistake," the NBA said in a statement.

MILIČIĆU, AJDE SAD PROSTAČI: "Duda" Ivković takes over serbian national team...

TOP 10 NBA PLAYS 11-01-2008
EUROLEAGUE NEWS 10-01-2008
REGGIE MILLER: WHO IS THE HARDEST PLAYER TO GUARD?


Serbian coaching great Dusan Ivkovic has returned to his homeland to guide the national team once again.

Ivkovic, who led Yugoslavia to the gold medal at the 1990 FIBA World Championship and to European titles in 1989, '91 and '95, will try to revive a national team that has been struggling.

Yugoslavia captured the gold at the 2002 FIBA World Championship as well under Svetislav Pesic, but have won no medals since.

At the 2007 FIBA Europe Championship under Zoran Slavnic, Serbia crashed out of the competition at the group stage, which meant they failed to even reach the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

At his unveiling on Thursday in Belgrade, Ivkovic spoke of his sadness that the national side will not be at the Beijing Games.

Ivkovic's outstanding coaching career started at Partizan Belgrade (1978-1980), and he then left the country to work at Greek side Aris (1980-1982).

He returned to join Yugoslav teams Sibenka (1982-1987) and Vojvodina (1987-1990) before going abroad again.

Ivkovic, who now serves as the president of the World Association of Basketball Coaches, led four more Greek clubs, including PAOK (1991-1994), Panionios (1994-1996), Olympiacos (1996-1999) and AEK (1999-2001) and then went to Russia where he guided city rivals, CSKA Moscow (2002-2005) and Dynamo Moscow (2005-2007).

During that period he won six national titles, with Partizan, PAOK, Olympiacos and three with CSKA, also got trophies of the Radivoje Korac Cup (1979), EuroLeague (1997), Saporta Cup (2000) and ULEB Cup (2006), and achieved silver medals with Yugoslavia at the Olympics in 1988 and 1996.

Ivkovic knows that international, the game has taken giant strides and the level of competition is much more intense now than it was when he led the side two decades ago.

Also, the breakup of Yugoslavia saw the formation of new national sides. Instead of drawing on the leading players from the former Yugoslavian republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro and Serbia, Ivkovic will now lead Serbia.



Ivkovic will miss the Olympics, but he says that "there's no time for sadness and sorrow".

And he says relations between players and the federation can't be strained as has been the case for some in recent years, which led to some choosing not to take part in national team competitions.



"We won't face 'thanks, but no thanks' situations (by some of the players) anymore, as I'll be in contact with them on a daily basis. I believe in our players, and will believe in them. That's very important for a good start."

A šut mu je slab, danas je poput Shaqa bacio airball pri slobodnom. Obrana isto ništa, na svu sreću Milano je uporno forsiro tricu umjesto da idu pod kos..

Danas je počeo jedan od najjačih juniorskih turnira na ovom kontinentu, 29. L'Hospitalet Tournament, nešto kao kasni Božić ili Nova Godina za sve scoute. Za one koji još imaju problema sa španjolskim evo i link na Euroleague stranicu turnira.

Prošlogodišnji pobjednik turnira FMP predvodi prvu skupinu, ovdje će sigurno pod povećalom biti neki članovi te pobjedničke ekipe npr. #15 Dejan Musli, mozda the next Nikola Peković i #12 Bojan Subotić, PF U16 reprezentacije Srbije, sa mogućnosti da jednog dana zaigra i za Grčku, gdje su njegovom ocu nakon nekoliko uspješnih godina na domaćim parketima dali i grčko državljanstvo. Tata Subotić je danas jedan od glavnih razloga buđenja nekad slavnog KK Splita (NLB pozicija 10 6/9).





U skupini B će igrati jedna od najvećih zvijezda turnira, Barcelonin #16 Nihad Dedović, koji će opet dobiti priliku zaigrati sa svojim vršnjacima, nakon što se poput našeg Bojana Bogdanovića trenutno izgubio negdje u prijevodu između juniorske i seniorske košarke.

Cibona će u svojoj C grupi morati igrati protiv dvije španjolske ekipe, od kojih je Joventut sigurno ona sa jačom košarkaškom školom (recimo jedan Rubio je ako se ne varam mlađi od Dedovića). Cibonin roster za turnir kopiran sa službene stranice:



Ne znam kakva je situacija recimo oko Svena Smajlagića, za kojeg je kosarka.hr ovih dana javila da se ozlijedio na utakmici naše mlade repke protiv Turske, pa mislim da je njegov nastup vjerovatno upitan, ZG-insideri sigurno znaju nešto više.





Sve u svemu sigurno dosta jak turnir, sa gomilom budućih EL igrača i možda ponekim NBA potencijalom. Dosta interesantno i za ekipu Cibone da pokaže gdje joj omladinski pogon stoji, zadnjih dana nije izostajalo kritika na trenutno stanje i šefa Pinu Grdovića.

JOKEOV POUČAK: KK Zagreb napravio korak bliže Europi zamijenivši Jusupa Pavličevićem...

R.I.P. SEAD ŽUNIĆ


Želim Vam sve najbooolje u 2008., puno zdravlja, sreće i veselja, kao i međusobnog razumijevanja i tolarancije, kako na terenu tako i izvan njega...

Priznajem, jučer nisam baš pretjerano odisao upornošću, pa ću Vam s zakašnjenjem od cca 1 dana priopćiti rezultate izbora za igrača godine.

Kriterij ovom prilikom nisu bila individualna i kolektivna statistička dostignuća. Kriterij su bili najnevjerojatniji košarkaški momenti koji se pamte cijeli košarkaški vijek.

U uži krug su ušli Larry Ayuso i Marko Tomas, znate Vi već dobro zbog čega, ako ne znate premotajte malo prošlogodišnji film.



IGRAČ GODINE? U duhu akcije "kupujmo hrvatsko", neka bude najpoznatiji Križevčanin diljem svijeta Marko Tomas. Nadam se da se Larry neće naljutiti, pa nas 'pokopati s par 'bombi na predolimpijskom turniru u Grčkoj...BTW, KUKOC 11-12 MIX je gotov, coming up tommorow...

All stars game u Pazinu? This kid Vrkić from Šibenik can really fly za hrvatske prilike. Obrane previše propusne, na granici neukusa, mislim da nekim ljudima još nije jasno da je Dennis Rodman na temelju specijalizacije za obranu i skokove zaradio All Stars nastupe 1990. (Miami) & 1992. (Orlando).

OK, OK, Andrija Stipanović is legit, mislim da bez previše razmišljanja možemo kostatirati da je prevalivši distancu od Hermes Analitice do Splita, te zadržavši isti bravehart pristup na terenu u potpunosti zaslužio da ga izaberemo za igrača koji je najviše napredovao u 2007.

Rošada Jusup - Pavličević. Dogodila se kada je bila najmanje očekivana, na samom kraju kalendarske godine, s Jupeom u ulozi all stars ekipe Sjevera. Nije stvar u tome da Jupe nije kvalitetan trener, već je Pavličević dvostruki europski prvak (Cibona 1986., Jugoplastika 1991.) koji bi s ovim rosterom (bez stranaca) Zagreba mogao napraviti europski iskorak.

Da je Tomić prerastao Trnsko (ne shvaćajte doslovno) može se zaključiti iz njegovog interviewa u novom broju magazina "Superkošarka". I ne samo on...mnogi Zagrebovi projekti vape za minutama, namely Papac, Garma, Kovačević...svaka čast Vladoviću, ali mišljenja sam da dovođenje Ružića, te comeback preiskusnog Zadravca nemaju nikakvog smisla za razvojnu, pa tako i rezultatsku koncepciju Zagreba.

Jer rezultata nema bez razvoja vlastitih talenata, po čemu je KK Zagreb svjetski poznat...da ne duljimo - da sam ja trener, početna petorka Zagreba bi bila:

NCAA DUNK MIX 2007.
UNLV JARVIS BASNIGHT DUNK


Stvari koje bi napravio immidiately:


Ne nužno tim redosljedom...
