Michael Jordan: Life After Glory
By Mitch Albom
"This is not fun for me," Michael Jordan told reporters.
He was not being arrested. He was not being publicly humiliated. He was not being forced to fox trot on "Dancing With the Stars."
Michael Jordan had been selected for the Basketball Hall Of Fame. The pantheon of his sport.
And he was unhappy. His reason . . .
"Your basketball career is completely over. That's the way I look at it. I was hoping this day was coming in 20 more years, or that I'd actually go in when I'm dead and done...."

Shorthanded Kings Lose Martin for 6-8 Weeks
The Sacramento Kings -- already playing without projected starter Francisco Garcia -- got more bad news this week, when they learned leading scorer Kevin Martin will be sidelined for up to two months. Martin suffered a non-displaced fracture of the navicular bone in his left wrist when he got tangled with the Grizzlies' Allen Iverson in Monday night's game. TNT's David Aldridge reports Martin will opt for surgery to correct the break; the projected recovery time is 6-8 weeks. Martin is the third-leading scorer in the NBA, averaging 30.6 points per game. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Beno Udrih, who will take over at point guard, allowing rookie Tyreke Evans to play in Martin's place at shooting guard.

Another First for Nancy Lieberman
Nancy Lieberman was the first woman to play in a men's professional basketball league. Next, she'll become the first woman to coach in one. She was named coach of the new D-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks, to be based in Frisco, Texas. The new team makes its debut with the 2010-11 season. The new team will be jointly owned by Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson and and area businessman Evan Wyly. The management team includes longtime NBA coach Del Harris as general manager and Slam Dunk champion Spud Webb as president of basketball operations. Generally regarded as one of the greatest female basketball players ever, Lieberman was an Olympic medalist at age 18, led Old Dominion to two AIAW titles and won two Wade Trophies. She played in the first women's professional basketball league -- the WBL -- the USBL, and for the Washington Generals -- the regular opponents of the Harlem Globetrotters.

Cavs Owner Pushing for Cleveland Casino
The city of Las Vegas has been pushing for an NBA franchise for years. But the league is torn; they'd love to be the only pro sports league in town, they have a long and well-established footprint in the city thanks to the annual summer league, a number of USA Basketball events and the 2007 All-Star Game. But especially in the wake of the Tim Donaghy scandal, David Stern and company are deeply concerned about the league being associated with gambling. Makes you wonder how Stern feels about Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert's involvement in an effort to bring casino gambling to Cleveland. Cavs Owner Pushing for Cleveland Casino originally appeared on About.com Basketball on Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 09:24:07.
Marcus Jordan Dumps Adidas, Adidas Dumps UCF
Michael Jordan's son started his college basketball career wearing Air Jordans. That decision is costing his school a $3 million Adidas contract. Marcus Jordan agreed to play ball for the Golden Knights knowing they were an Adidas school. He was apparently assured he'd be allowed to wear Nike shoes while playing for UCF, despite the fact that the school had an exclusive deal with Adidas and were in the midst of negotiating a lucrative extension. One problem - the Adidas people never signed off on that arrangement. As spokeswoman Andrea Corso told the Orlando Sentinel: The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to Adidas. As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward. Right now this looks a bit grim for UCF's athletic budget, but more than a few people suspect a enormous care package will arrive from Oregon to save the day... with a big Nike swoosh stamped on the side.

Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Settles Race Discrimination Suit
Clippers owner Donald Sterling agreed to pay over $2.7 million to settle a lawsuit claiming his company discriminated against several minorites attempting to rent apartments at his properties in the greater Los Angeles area. The penalty is the largest monetary penalty ever obtained in a lawsuit of this type, according to a Justice Department press release. Because the suit was settled without any formal admission of guilt or liability, and because the suit didn't involve the Clippers directly, the NBA is unlikely to take any action. But as Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports rightly points out... it's a bit odd that Sterling's actions haven't drawn much (any) reaction, when just a month ago, the media was aghast at the notion that Rush Limbaugh might buy a stake in the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh is controversial, and his remarks about Donovan McNabb during his short-lived stint as an ESPN studio host were unfortunate, but that seems like a minor offense when compared with Sterling's. Perhaps the reason we didn't see a rash of "African-American players won't sign with a team owned by Donald Sterling" stories is that no one really expects free agents to be drawn to the Clippers anyway. One of the most inept franchises in all of American sports, the Clippers haven't won so much as a division title since they were founded (as the Buffalo Braves) back in 1970. Combine the hideous record on the court with the dubious record off it, and it's easy to see why Donald Sterling tops our list of the worst owners in the NBA. But he's got plenty of company...

Manu and the Bat -- Case Closed
As we should have expected, the folks from PETA took a break from photographing actresses in various stages of undress to tell the world what a bad, bad guy Manu Ginobili is. Ginobili, you may remember became a YouTube sensation for treating a bat that invaded San Antonio's AT&T Center on Halloween Night like a weak shot in the vicinity of Dikembe Mutombo. Only without the finger-wagging afterwards. Ginobili's actions were pretty humane, considering the circumstances. He stunned the critter and brought it to an usher. But hey, PETA launched a protest when President Obama had the nerve to swat a fly, so I suppose a loud public outcry was inevitable. You can read some of the remarks from PETA members on Deadspin. You can also read an eye-witness account from an officer at the AT&T Center, who saw the bat fly away under its own power after the usher brought it outside. So, let's give the protests a rest, huh, folks? Besides, Ginobili is being subjected to a series of painful rabies vaccinations for his trouble. I'd say he's suffered enough. Manu and the Bat -- Case Closed originally appeared on About.com Basketball on Friday, November 6th, 2009 at 17:43:34.
LeBron's Message to New York
Some people might get tired of the constant barrage of media questions asking what he'll do next season. LeBron James, I think, is enjoying the attention. If not, why would he take out a full-page ad in the New York Daily News, thanking the fans for welcoming him back to the city? The copy reads: Dear New York. Thank you for welcoming me back to New York City, one of my favorite places to play in the world. The Big Apple has always been good to me so I wanted to do somethign special to show my appreciation. With this in mind, on November 7, 2009, I'm going to open seven gyms around NYC to host free open runs for high-school aged players, I remember being in high school and just wanting to play ball as the seasons changed from fall to winter. The Ohio winter made it tough to play outside so I always saw the opportunity to play in a nice gym as a gift. It is in giving that I've found the most strength, whether it's on the court with my teammates or at home with my family. In giving this gift of the game to New York City, I want to share that strength with the people who love the game as much as I do. Peace. LeBron James The ad goes on to list the gyms that will host open runs -- Long Island University and Ebbets Field Middle School in Brooklyn, John Jay College, Boys & Girls Republic, Hunter College and Asphalt Green in Manhattan and Lost Battalion Hall in Queens. It ends, predictably, with a big Nike swoosh. Doesn't it seem like he's enjoying all the "will-he-or-won't-he" speculation? I'm starting to think he'll just sign a one-year contract somewhere, so he can do this all over again in the summer of 2011. Hey LeBron -- just a suggestion: if you really want to give a gift to the fans of New York, sign with the Knicks next summer. It seems reasonable to suspect that your Cavs aren't winning a championship this season anyway -- not after you got held to 85 points in your home arena by the Chicago Bulls. King James and the Cavs play at Madison Square Garden tonight -- their only visit to New York of the season. The next barrage of "Will the Knicks get LeBron stories" should be hitting the Internet right about... now. LeBron's Message to New York originally appeared on About.com Basketball on Friday, November 6th, 2009 at 10:12:45.
Isiah Thomas Loses FIU Debut
New Florida International coach Isiah Thomas brought his winning ways from the NBA to his new job in Coral Gables. And by "winning" I mean "giving wins to his competition. "Thomas' Golden Panthers lost an exhibition game last night to Northwood College -- a school that isn't even a member of the NCAA. If there's a bright side in the loss, it's that Thomas lost to a coach with a pretty impressive resume. Northwood is coached by Rollie Massimino -- best known as the coach of the 1985 National Champion Villanova Wildcats. Thomas regular-season debut will also pit him against a coach with an NCAA title -- the Golden Panthers open their schedule on Monday, November 6th against Roy Williams and the defending national champion Carolina Tar Heels.

Syracuse Loses to LeMoyne
Losing to a cross-town rival is never good. Losing to a cross-town "rival" that plays in a lower division... yeah, that's downright ugly. That's what Syracuse did last night, dropping an exhibition matchup with Division II LeMoyne College by a score of 82-79. Syracuse did get 34 points out of Wes Johnson, a transfer from Iowa State. But it's clear they'll need a lot more than Johnson to replace Jonny Flynn, Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris -- the three leaders from last year's Sweet Sixteen squad. According to "Hoops" Weiss of the New York Daily News, the Orange hadn't lost an exhibition game in six years -- and that time, the opponent was the Harlem Globetrotters.

Hoop Dreams Returns to the Big Screen
If you're going to be in New York next week, here's your chance to see the revolutionary basketball documentary Hoop Dreams on the big screen. As part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the film, it will be screened at IFC Center on Monday, November 9th. Hoop Dreams follows the story of two Chicago high school ballers -- William Gates and Arthur Agee -- as they worked their way through high school with the goal of eventually reaching the NBA. It was a huge commercial and critical success; when it was snubbed by the Oscars, the resulting outcry led to a complete revamp in nomination process for documentaries. Sadly, neither Gates nor Agee made it to the big time -- Gates attended Marquette, but a knee injury prevented him from playing much, and Agee played in junior college and then at Arkansas State, but turned down a contract offer from the CBA to pursue a movie role. Hoop Dreams Returns to the Big Screen originally appeared on About.com Basketball on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 15:41:01.
