Grizzlies shock top seeded Spurs

SoSportz.com- The Memphis Grizzlies made history today by winning their first playoff game in franchise history by shocking top seeded San Antonio Spurs 101-98.  It was a back and forth game until Shane Battier hit a clutch 3 pointer with 23.9 seconds left to put the Grizzlies up by 3 to seal the win.  Zach Randolph (25 pts) and Marc Gasol (24 pts) were the stars of the game combining for 49 points. The Spurs were without Manu Ginobili and one can say that was the difference of the game but the Grizzlies were also without their star player as well, Rudy Gay. Game 2 will be played Wednesday in San Antonio.  Are the Grizzlies a true threat to the Spurs?  I think they are and will win the series.

Lebron James: The Businessman

SoSportz.com-  Lebron James is not only a great basketball player but he's a businessman.  James inked a deal with Liverpool FC, one of the world's best soccer teams and franchises in the English Premier League, that will give him a minority stake in the club. Liverpool is valued as one of the most valuable soccer franchises in the world and has won 18 top division championships in its amazing history.  


James understands that he has to take advantage of these types of opportunities now while he's on top of his game and relevant in the sports world.  Lebron is setting himself up for life after basketball and time will tell if he's making the right decisions in business.  I think he's on the right track.

IT'S TIME FOR THE NBA PLAYOFFS

SoSportz.com- The NBA Playoffs are finally here. All the offseason training, the tough training camp, the grueling 82 game season are all worth it to make it to the playoffs and have an opportunity to win a championship. Will Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls bring back memories of the Michael Jordan era Bulls, will the Big 3(Lebron, D Wade, Bosh) live up to expectation, will Kevin Durant and the young OKC Thunder shock the world, or will it be another classic with a Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers title series?  It's going to be an exciting ride so make sure you strap on and hold on tight.  It's playoff time.
