Hi there. Thought after commenting on your good article regarding KKobayashi, which gave me the idea to review the drivers over the season - you might want to see this. It's quite indepth but worth a read i hope!

Hello Chris,

My latest article - "Michael Jordan ends the debate over LeBron James and Kobe Bryant." ... Its a (hopefully) very humorous article, tickling the current great debate over who is the best player in the NBA!

If you are interested, do read it. I hope you'll find time, thanks so much :)

-Rocky.

Chris,

Was your team one of the many who failed to make the playoffs in 2008? Here's six teams that will bounce back in 09'. Let me know what you think.
