NBA deildin segir skrefaregluna í raun óbreytta

Plot thickens... Ég get ekki skilið þetta á annan hátt en svo að það er einungis verið að skrifa í reglurnar óformleg viðmið dómara til skrefareglunnar fram að þessu.

NEW YORK -- The NBA denied Friday that it has changed its rule on traveling.

Stu Jackson, the league's executive vice president of basketball operations, said recent media reports that the rule had been changed to allow an extra step after the dribble were not true.

"We have not changed the traveling rule, nor how we enforce the rule," Jackson said Friday during the league's annual preseason conference call. "What we did change was some antiquated language in our existing rule as it related to steps."

The section of the NBA rulebook dealing with traveling used to allow players to "use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop." It was reworded this season to say players "may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball."

In March, NBA vice president of referee operations Joe Borgia told ESPN True Hoop's Henry Abbott that referees had long been instructed to ignore the rulebook on this point and allow two steps.

On a conference call with reporters earlier this month, Jackson told Abbott: "Based on Joe's comments, when you had a conversation with Joe, we did in fact tweak the language on traveling in this year's book."

NBA molar

NBA deildin er búin að semja við dómara sína og verða þeir reiðubúnir þegar tímabilið hefst núna á þriðjudaginn.

DeShawn Stevenson segir:  "I think I’m the most hated player in the league"

Minnesota Timberwolves láta frá sér Antonio Daniels og Houston Rockets láta Brent Barry fara.

Bobby Jackson hefur ákveðið að setja skóna á hilluna.

Allen Iverson segist vera tilbúinn í slaginn fyrir fyrsta leik tímabilsins en Grizzlies stjórnin er ekki sammála.

Meiðslin byrjuð að hrannast inn hjá Wizards.  Antawn Jamison verður frá í 3-5 vikur með meiðsli á öxl eftir samstuð við Zydrunas Ilgauskas fyrir rúmri viku.

Oklahoma City Thunder nýta sér ákvæði í samningum sínum við Kevin Durant, Jeff Green og Russell Westbrook og framlengja til loka næsta tímabils.  New York Knicks gera það sama með Wilson Chandler og Danilo Gallinari.

Blake Griffin niðurlægir Hornets... tvisvar

...og það á báðum endum vallarins í bæði skiptin. Djöfull eru New Orleans Hornets annars hræðilega lélegir ef þetta er málið.

Magic Johnson vs. Isiah Thomas BEEF

The criticisms are made by Johnson in When The Game Was Ours, which he co-wrote with Larry Bird and author Jackie MacMullan. The book, to be released on Nov. 4, tells the inside story of the most important rivalry in basketball history.

Magic also admits that he joined with Michael Jordan and other players in blackballing Thomas from the 1992 Olympic Dream Team, saying, "Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics. Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. ... Michael didn't want to play with him. Scottie [Pippen] wanted no part of him. Bird wasn't pushing for him. Karl Malone didn't want him. Who was saying, 'We need this guy?' Nobody.''

"I'm glad that he's finally had the nerve and the courage to stand up and say it was him, as opposed to letting Michael Jordan take the blame for it all these years,'' Thomas responded during one of several interviews he gave to SI.com on Wednesday. "I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it.''

Magic's most shocking accusation, however, is that Thomas was responsible for spreading rumors that Johnson was gay or bisexual after Johnson tested positive for HIV, forcing his retirement at age 32. "Isiah kept questioning people about it,'' Magic says. "I couldn't believe that. The one guy I thought I could count on had all these doubts. It was like he kicked me in the stomach.''

David Stern: LeBron hugsanlega sá besti allra tíma

David Stern er augljóslega mikið í mun að finna einhvern til að taka við kyndlinum af Michael Jordan og ætlar svo ekki sé um vafist að hengja framtíð deildarinnar á King James.  Í nýlegu viðtali skóf hann heldur betur ekki af því og sagði James mögulega geta orðið þann allra besta í sögu deildarinnar.

He may be the best player ever to have played. Michael might dispute that, but he has a lot of canvas yet on which to paint. I have no doubt the picture is going to be beautiful.

You know, he hasn’t won anything yet but he may be the best player ever to descend to this planet. It’s a delight to watch him; it’s a delight to watch him grow, to see his width and breadth, in terms of his interest and capacities. He’s a great kid and a great player.

LeBron James hefur vissulega mikla möguleika á að ná eins langt og eflaust lengra en Michael Jordan.  Hann hefur töluvert meiri tíma til afreka, en nema eitthvað komi upp á þá sér hann fram á að spila góð 15-20 ár þar sem hann kemur inn í deildina 18 ára gamall.  Jordan kom inn 21 árs og spilaði 13 tímabil (að undanskyldum þessum tveimur árum hjá Washington Wizards).  Auk þess er margt um líkt með persónuleikum þessarra tveggja leikmanna - að undanskildum vandamálum Jordan utan vallar.
