The 96-97 Wizards loss was a very close game. LeBron James of the Cavs scored a record 41 points and sunk a basket with five seconds left leading his team to the win.

The snow made it a struggle for the folks with Wizards tickets to get there, and the customers who couldn't have the option to switch Sunday's tickets to the February 21st game with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the 20,000 fans that made it saw what our tight-knit team could do, even against talent like Alan Iverson and Chris Webber. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262098&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59 A debate that will probably continue for ages to come has just crossed my mind. Here is the question. Who is better Shaquille O’Neal or Wilt Chamberlin? Now before anyone decides to answer this question, one should take time to think about it.

Sometimes this works, such is the case for Kobe Bryant, but not always. To look at someone who has been raging throughout high school does not mean that they will be ready to enter into the pros. Until a few years ago, drafting high school players was unheard of. But, we do have our success stories.
