About james »

hi my names James. Im From Australia. i started following american sport like basketball and Gridiron a few years ago, cause someone in one of my classes played basketball, and it was way more interesting than physics. i currently don't have a specific nba team but tend to follow players, and pick teams for each series. as for NFL i jumped on the Atlanta Bandwagon last year, and i think they will end up being my team, as they wear the right colors, a mixture of red, white and black

Do the Magic consistently make poor trades and get too trigger happy when it comes to releasing their players and trading them? Come read this article about the single baller who got the Lakers back into the game last night, feedback is appreciated.
