Blake's a great player - but how come his bottom sticks out and he walks like he's an old man...?

I have noticed this also, and it is only his posture that has developed this way. He had a slight paralysis on his left side and has broken his neck by running into the net post head first but I do not think this contributes to the unusual posture...

I used to live in the bronx myself ur probably familiar w/ the school i used to go to too... Cardinal Spellman High School... About Ben Gordon he is a tough little man who does what he has to do... He's what a point guard in the league should be like... he's swifty and has a nice medium range and outside game which is very essential in the league because not many have these characteristics... But lets not show him any disrespect either the man can drive the lane just as hard as an AI. Don't forget he's the bulls sixth man too.

Big Ben's game is not based on speed or athleticism. Often this allows a player to have a longer career. He's also not actually that big for a center, which means he isn't getting quite the wear and tear of someone like Shaq (for instance). Unless he decides he is sick of the game, gets a serious injury, or goes Spree and gets some deluded idea of his worth, I think he could have 4 or 5 more years in him.

I think the way the league has been sighting ejections recently, he WILL be suspended. Purposely clotheslining someone certainly would be a good enough reason..! If he DOES have to sit out the next game against L.A, it'll be an uphill battle for the Suns--and I'm not so sure they could pull it off!

He's a bully.  He's always been a bully and he'll always be a bully.  As long as he is enabled by spineless athletic directors and keeps recruiting kids whose parents care more about winning than the well-being of their sons then he'll continue to prosper.  He espouses discipline but yet shows none in his own character.  He's a winner on the court and a loser in all else.

He's a monster...  I never really seen a guy who is a 20/20 threat every night like he is (points/rebounds).  That's very rare and he is only 20 years old.  If he continues at the pace he's at, he will soon be put in the company of guys like Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, in addition to Shaq.

Several factors.  Money was an issue.  They really don't need his bat in the lineup.  He is hurt more and more each season.  He is on the down side of what I would call a HOF career.  Certainly if he reaches 500 home runs he will be elected into the HOF.  But maybe the one factor that shadows everything else, he carries a lot of baggage with him.  He's not the most pleasant guy to deal with plus when he doesn't get his way he can be poison in the locker room.  The Yankees have enough to deal with with A-Rod.  Plus they need pitching.

maybe cause we are checking him out as a player.you are busy checking out his butt.

Look at it this way, TO is a good player. If given the chance he can be all he can be. bBut he has to be able to contain his mouth and get along with his teammates. You cant critisize the team and expect to be in the same organization. If TO can contain his mouth and let his physical talent to the talking for him, He will do great in Dallas

He likes to fall down to act like he is the toughest guy in the league.  He doesn't even get touched half of the time.  For example, Michael Sweetney's block on Dwayne Wade in game 5.  Sweets got all ball and Wade fell over trying to draw the foul and hurt himself trying to sell it.  He will soon learn that that kind of behavior won't win games in this league.  It will only make him look like a crafty, scrappy loser in the big games.

Part of his lack of aggression is that Referees are starting to call offensive fouls more often when he plows into a guy on the way to the hoop.  He needs to play in that system, so he needs to be more careful.\n\nI believe he is slowing down, though, as age and all that weight seem to be taking a toll on his body.

maybe, but, there are a lot of young players coming into the tour and its becoming increasingly difficult for older players not doing particularly well as a result of injury and just simple lack of good performance to make it back to the top. In all, he could become a top 10 player again.

yep, he is only 21 and he's probably scored way more points that some of the old veterans. Someday he will be the best. he just needs to win something with the cavs.

He's getting older now and has knee problems. It's not unusual for older players like Bonds to need such "rest" days.

Brett at 50 is still going to be one of the best in the game. They guy should stay as long as he wants. He's a three time MVP, a leader, and a football player until he dies. His arm is sharp, his mental awareness is still good. He just needs a line and a supportive running game. Look at John Elway, as his career got longer they took a lot of the pressure off of Elway by giving  him a great running game. That is not happening for Brett, he's still carrying the entire team. He's a little past his prime to be carrying a bunch of lazy players. And on top of it all his line is lucky to give him 2-3 seconds in the pocket. He's almost running like David Carr is in Houston. And his running game is just horrible! With a better team around him, Brett will be back, if not I'm sure he'll retire. But like I said, he's still one of the best in the game. Just like Junior Seau, Mark Brunell, and Orlando Pace. Old men who just have football in their blood - they are all still great, just a bit past their prime.

I like Mario Ancic, he is a tall player at 6 foot 5, with a pretty big serve.  He is very lean and can hit some big groundstokes from both the forehand and backhand sides.  His defensive tennis against other big hitters needs some improvement so he can extend the point long enough to either win the point by error or to urn a neutral ball into an offensive shot.  Mario will often be overly aggressive against other big hitters on tour.  Don't get me wrong, Mario is an extremely talented player and has recently broke the top 10 in the world rankings coming in at Number 9.   This is a remarkable feat for any professional tennis player.  However if he improves in his defensive tennis, and handles low ball better to stay neutral in rallies and out-works his opponents, he is capable of even improving his ranking a couple spots.  His Volley's are good, but they could be even better if he spent a good offseason in the winter months and focused on making the ball slide through the court with a slightly more compact volley.  This would allow him to better handle hard hit shots into his body and make his opponents passing shots even more difficult.  Remarkable Talent, still has some room for improvement, and he is only 22 years old.   If you were talking about his looks, I am sure he has many fans.

You explained it - he's like a TANK, not enough finesse. There are more talented players on the field and frankly, he didn't have the greatest season with his team either.
