The NBA has instituted a variety of caps on payroll. There is the famous salary cap, which limits how much each team can spend on its payroll. There is also a maximum salary, which is a cap on individual player salaries (and yes, this would be better called a salary cap). And finally there is a cap on rookie pay, which limits how much a draft choice can earn on his first contract. All of these restrictions are designed to limit a player’s pay.

Chris Webber and Don Nelson Reunion? Tiger Dominates Buick; Roger Clemens Goes Damage Control; LeBron James Sends Kobe and the Lakers On ASlide Calm yourself Michelle. Be EZ. Coming out of Michigan in ‘93 it seemed Chris was headed for the same success he’d had in college.
Playing in small market New Orleans, rarely on national TV, fighting and eventually losing an uphill battle in the MVP race with an established and prickly superstar, Chris Paul is an absolute darling of the NBA right now.

And even when waiting until the last minute, there is no reason to be stubborn and say, “Screw it, I’m driving. Although I was able to take care of plenty of phone calls on the road, driving sixteen hours in three days is not something that is fun or necessary.
LeBron James a signé le carton de la nuit (41 points) pour mener Cleveland à la victoire à Chicago (97-106). Après deux défaites de rang, New Orleans, de son côté, s’est bien repris dans le sillage d’un Chris Paul étincelant.

Friday Fire 2: Who is Better…Kobe Bryant or LeBron James? AP Photo/Tony Dejak) No matter what you think, both are damn good LeBron James got the best of Kobe Bryant last night 94-90. Who is better? Is it a fair question? Can we just appreciate both without end game marginalization?

In honor of the on-going writer’s strike, today’s column is a re-run. Okay, it’s not word-for-word something posted before. But the Chris Paul and Deron Williams story has been told before in this forum. What I am doing in this column is updating this tale with data from the first half of the 2007-08 season.
Gilbert briefly mentions a book by Will Leitch of Deadspin in his latest blog: Have you seen the new book that came out, God Save the Fan? Will Leitch came out with the book. Thank you Will Leitch! Got to give a shout out to Will Leitch and Deadspin for coming out with the book God Save the Fan.
