Wrestlemania 2000 had a lot wrong with it.  The first thing being they called it "Wrestlemania 2000." So from now on it will be "16."  If you want to see the actual card click here . The biggest issue was the main event.  The fatal 4 way for the title.  Rock vs. HHH was a foregone conclusion going in, and the next 2 months they had amazing matches together.  Yet, they still felt the need to insert retired Foley and Big Show.  (Not to mention, a McMahon in every corner!!!) Anytime Big Show is in the main event, it equals shit.   End of story.  Foley was convinced by Vince to come back even though he was content being retired.  I'm sure Foley would take this match back if he could.  So Foley is off the card all together.  Big Show I have other plans for. Show was rapidly declining, and soon would be in developmental.  Let's get him there quicker by having Kane squash him.  Kane was in a ridiculous tag match with Rikishi ...

Every basketball fan worth his or her salt is familiar with Jerry West's heave in the 1970 Finals to send the game into overtime.  It's one of the NBA's most famous highlights, but sad in a way that had there been a three point shot, that would have won the game for the Lakers.  And what a way to win a game!  The three point shot would come to pass 10 years later, and in present day 2014, if you're guard and can't hit a three you are seriously frowned upon.  If all you can do is stand at the three point line and jack three's till the cows come home (and make a respectable amount) you are going to have a contract somewhere.  The three pointer has become more and more vital each passing year, thus players have become more adapt at making them year after year.  When I was a child, if a center made a 3, it was for one of two reasons.  Number one, it was a late game desperation shot like West's was.  Or two, the game was seriously out of...

It's funny to me that the Bucks, Magic, and Timberwolves all have the same identity and the same problem.  They all have really young rosters that are entertaining to watch, yet all are extremely poorly constructed teams.  The Timberwolves have the number one pick Andrew Wiggins.  Listed as a 6'8" shooting guard.  That's all well and dandy.  They also have Kevin Martin and Shabazz Muhammad at shooting guard.  All three receive minutes.  (Shabazz obviously gets the least.)  Which would be fine if they could shift one to the small forward at times, but that's where things get even more dicey.  Corey Brewer, Robbie Hummel, and Chase Budinger are all fighting for minutes at that spot. The Bucks have the number two pick Jabari Parker who plays both forward spots.  The same can be said for Khris Middleton and Ersan Ilyasova.  At center is John Henson, Larry Sanders, and Zaza Pachulia.  And how could ...
