Anderson grew up like many others watching the great Michael Jordan play. He adored him like many others and always held his commercial motto 'I wanna be like Mike' close. However, in Jordan's second stint with the Bulls and unlike many others, he noticed a young gun coming out of high school who had the potential (he uses that word loosely) to be even greater than Mike and immediately fell in love with his game. So for the past 13 years, he has been following Kobe Bean Bryant's every move, hoping one day the unthinkable might happen, only to lead him to follow the next phenom that will surpass them both. Anderson also grew up playing a lot of Madden since he had curfews in the dangerous slums of the Brooklyn streets. In wanting to be different from Giant/Jet fan peers, he randomly chose the New Orleans Saints and hasn't used a different team since. He now worships 'St. Reggie' like he does Kobe New Orleans VooDoo styleee!

Let me start off by saying that I’m surprised at myself as to how accurate my predictions and analysis in my previous article previewing the Western Conference Finals were. I should be out in some third world country, reading palms for a living. If you read it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If you [...]

NBA fans have been blessed this season to have, in my opinion, the League’s four best teams left standing in the playoffs. David Stern and company must be ecstatic given the amount of interest in this year’s playoffs demonstrated by the ratings spike in the earlier rounds, specifically the Celtics-Bulls series as well as the [...]
