$4 million dollars in debt….OUCH! That was the last we heard about Antoine Walker and nothing since.  Walker hasn’t played in the NBA for more than two years, and the last transaction involving the former Celtic star was a buyout after not playing a minute for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The latest news is Walker is kind of playing professional basketball again. The strange this is that Walker has a profile on LatinBasket, so there is something happening there. Oddly enough, there are no stats or really anything except a headshot. Very weird.

According to reports by May, Walker tried to land a deal in the Chinese Basketball Association, which is the new home of Stephon Marbury. The Chinese Basketball Association would have been a perfect fit for Walker, with their inflated statistics and hefty paychecks.

Instead of doing that, Walker will have to prove he is in basketball condition, which has never been his specialty. Just playing for a month at $7,000 a week will leave him only $3.95 million short of repaying his debts.  On top of that, he still has a DUI case against him and is awaiting trial for his arrest for writing bad checks at casinos.

Lets all hope that ‘Toine will be able to turn his life around .

Phil Jackson never got terribly comfortable while becoming the winningest coach in Los Angeles Lakers history, even with his superstar hobbling and the Charlotte Bobcats refusing to go away Wednesday night.  Lamar Odom scored 19 points and Andrew Bynum had 17 points and 14 rebounds, while making several big plays down the stretch, making sure Jackson added another superlative to his matchless coaching career in Los Angeles’ 99-97 victory over the Bobcats.

Phil Jackson, also the winningest coach in Chicago Bulls history, passed Pat Riley with his 534th win with the Lakers. Jackson, the Hall of Famer won 545 games and six titles in nine seasons with Michael Jordan and Co. This was before winning four more rings in his first nine seasons with the Lakers, rising to fifth on the NBA’s career coaching victories list when he passed Charlotte’s Larry Brown earlier this season.

“It’s been a really good run,” Jackson said. “Having this opportunity to coach this team is always special. The fact that we’ve had some great teams, great players, is always a credit to them. It’s not really an individual record in my mind.”

The winningest playoff coach in NBA history belongs to Jackson. He is the only coach to win more than 70 percent of his regular-season games. Jackson managed to coax a late-game win out of his Lakers even with just a season-low five points from Kobe Bryant, against the pesky Bobcats.

With Bryant’s already-sore left foot when Odom stepped on it late in the first half, his jumping and speed was obviously compromised. On top of that, Bryant then failed to score in the fourth quarter of his first single-digit scoring game of the season.

“It was just stiff—stiff and tight,” said Bryant, who’s already playing with a broken finger on his shooting hand. “Lamar stepped on my foot as I was changing directions, so … it just made it worse. It just set it back to Square One.”

Returning from an eight-game trip, Ron Artest and Pau Gasol scored 14 points apiece for the Lakers, to improve the NBA’s best home record to 24-3 with their eighth consecutive victory at Staples Center.

“We struggled against them for a while, and we were able to play pretty well even though it wasn’t our best game,” Gasol said.
Since beating Orlando on January 18th, the Lakers haven’t been home. The defending champions went just 5-3 on their East Coast trip, staying atop the Western Conference but struggling against the demands of a schedule that includes four more games in the next seven days.   Stephen Jackson scored 30 points and played without injured All-Star Gerald Wallace in the finale of a six-game trip. Even with Byrant’s woes, Nazr Mohammed added 23 points and 17 rebounds, but they couldn’t quite pull ahead to beat the Lakers for the fourth straight time.

“Everybody played good, (but) they’ve got such length and depth and size,” Brown said. “We weren’t exactly perfect, but we were pretty darn good. … We’re getting better. We compete every night.”

In the first three quarters, neither teams took a lead larger than seven points and Charlotte quickly erased an eight-point Lakers lead in the fourth. Mohammed’s fall away jumper with 1:38 to play trimmed Los Angeles’ lead to 93-92, but Gasol responded with a quick hook shot before blocking Jackson’s driving layup.
The Bobcats had a final chance to tie, after Odom tipped home Artest’s layup, Bryant missed a 3-pointer with 20 seconds left.  But Jordan Farmar forced a turnover on Jackson’s pass on a muddled inbounds play, and made a fast-break dunk on a pass from Gasol with 4.5 seconds left.

“I had everybody confused,” Brown said. “That was my fault. We had another timeout where I don’t think anybody really understood what we were trying to do, so that was on me. I told them all afterwards that that was just an old coach doing a stupid thing.”

With 1.2 seconds left, Flip Murray made a 3-pointer to trim the final margin.

“(A win) would have made a good road trip a great road trip, but they did what they had to do down the stretch, and that’s what good teams do,” Mohammed said. “We’re still growing, and that is where we’re going to be.”

On Monday night, the first All-Star, Murry, in Bobcats history, strained his left hamstring late in their loss at Portland. Murry skipped Wednesday’s shoot around, but wasn’t ruled out until game time, with Stephen Graham starting in his place.

Bryant’s night began by receiving a standing ovation from a pregame ceremony in which Lakers great Jerry West presented him with a game ball in recognition of Bryant’s ascension to the top of the Lakers’ career scoring list. Bryant passed West on Monday night during the Lakers’ loss at Memphis.

Last night we finished 1-3 in our guaranteed games which was very upsetting, but as you have seen when your on the bottom there is only once place to go and that is up. We played 4 totals last night, the under 6 in the NHL game between Tampa at Atlanta, which was the only winner of the night. What was very surprising was that we were 0-2 in NBA totals, losing the over 201 in the Milwaukee Bucks at Cleveland Cavs and the Memphis Grizzlies at the Orlando Magic over 194. These are days that anyone great is going to have but from experiance the one thing I know is that the next ten to fourteen days is going to be AMAZING ! The last time we went 1-3 in a guaranteed game day we went on to finish 22-6 for the 11 days. As our dedicated members know we make no excuses, we put our plays where most put there stories. Tonight is going to be well worth playing because we have a lot of big things taking place. We look forward to seeing your pockets get fat.

Awful memories are just those…awful memories. The Los Angeles Lakers are doing their best to forget all those awful moments of the past while of playing in the Boston Garden.

With 7.3 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant sank the go-ahead basket, and the Lakers won 90-89 on Sunday for their third consecutive victory over the struggling Celtics. The Celtics have not been able to make good on the traditional “Beat L.A.!” chant since winning 131-92 to clinch the 2008 NBA championship here in Game 6 of the finals.

“They smacked us two years ago,” said Lakers forward Lamar Odom “It was a big game for us. This is a team that’s going to be battling to be coming out of the East.”

With 32 NBA titles between them—including the last two—the Lakers and Celtics have met in the finals 11 times, from Bill Russell against Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor, to Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson and on to the current matchup of Bryant facing the New Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

The Lakers’ superstar came through in the stretch for them, while Boston’s couldn’t.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics led by as many as 11 points and nursed a one-point lead until Pierce was called for an offensive foul for pushing off as he jumped to shoot with 28 seconds left.

“At that point, I think it’s got to be unbelievable, but I didn’t see it so I really can’t give an opinion on it,” said coach Doc Rivers for Boston “You know, I do know Kobe pushes off a lot.”

After Friday night’s win in Philadelphia, Bryant complained of a stiff ankle, and it seemed to bother him during the game. Bryant shot just 8 for 20 but made the big one: making a move toward the basket before stepping back from Allen’s defense and swishing the ball through the net to give Los Angeles its only lead of the second half.

“He had a couple of looks before that that were good looks, and he didn’t put them in. We were mystified by that,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. Jackson tied Pat Riley atop the franchise coaching list with his 533rd win in Los Angeles. “He told me the next one was going to go in, so we went with him.”

Kobe Bryant finished with 19, Andrew Bynum had 11 rebounds and 19 points,, and Pau Gasol had 11 points and 11 boards for the Lakers, who won their fourth consecutive game.

“I didn’t say give me one more chance. I said give me the damn ball,” said Bryant “I never really give him much of a choice.”

Rajon Rondo had 12 assists and  21 points for the Celtics, who have lost six of their last eight games.

Garnett had 10 with nine rebounds, Pierce scored 15, and Kendrick Perkins finished with eight points and 10 boards for the Celtics, who were coming off losses to Orlando and Atlanta, which are two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference—that left them at 6-10 since beating the Magic on Christmas Day.

“It’s nothing to be happy about, I’ll tell you that,” said Garnett “We haven’t been producing wins, but we’re a hardworking group.”

With a hyperextended right knee, Garnett missed 10 of those games and Boston was 4-6 without him. But Garnett’s return hasn’t solved all the Celtics’ problems.

Before the Lakers made the next four baskets, the Celtics led 81-70. Rasheed Wallace hit a 3-pointer—his only basket of the game—to stop the run. It was still a three-point game with less than two minutes left when Bryant hit a pair of free throws to make it 87-86.

Allen hit a pair of free throws, and then Ron Artest sank a runner in the lane to make it 89-88. The Celtics got the ball to Pierce, who unfortunately made a little too much space for himself, negating the basket.

“I thought I made a good move. I got to my sweet spot,” said Pierce. “I guess the ref saw it differently and he made the call. That’s part of the game. That’s why you have referees.”

Allen’s 3-point attempt at the final buzzer bounced right off the rim.

“Ten times out of 10 times, when you have Ray open like that I’m going to give him the ball,” said Pierce “He got a good look at it. Sometimes it falls; sometimes it doesn’t.”

In the first quarter, the Celtics fell behind 22-10. Bynum scored 12 points, and trailed 40-34 midway through the second before scoring the next 15 points. By halftime, Rondo had nine points and eight assists in the quarter and was in double digits in both.

Now Boston can remember the good memories!

A major earthquake struck southern Haiti, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Thousands of lives were lost and families were torn apart.

It is time to help out those in need and who better to do just that then Shaquille O’Neal himself. O’Neal has a plan to save the NBA’s All-Star dunk contest: Bring back the superstars and do it for devastated Haiti.

Following Tuesday night’s win over Toronto, O’Neal was asked if he would like to see teammate LeBron James participates in this year’s event. That’s when he offered his idea. He would like to see former dunk champion Orland Magic’s Vince Carter, LA Laker’s Kobe Bryant and others take part along with James in raising money for Haiti.

“As his manager, I will only allow ‘Bron to do the dunk contest if Vince Carter comes back out,” said O’Neal  “If Kobe comes back out and if another big name comes back out. If we could get a big prize and have half of the money go to the people of Haiti and the other half to the winner.

“The guys that are in it, no disrespect to them, but there won’t really be any competition for LeBron. I want to see Kobe. I want to see Vince and I will allow my client to enter.”

Could he make it happen?

“I’m saying it now,” O’Neal said. “So tweet it. Facebook it. E-mail it and hopefully it gets out. Vince, we’re calling you out. Kobe, we’re calling you out. We’re calling everybody out. If those guys step up in the dunk contest, then I will allow my client to step up.”

So many people are doing whatever it is they can to help those in need. Haiti needs anything and everything.  Donate, give, or volunteer whatever it is that YOU can do!

Here is a perfect example that took place today which we wrote in black and white for our members. Chad and myself always recommend our members take advantage of the entire board in the guaranteed game, because usually we will hit well over 65 percent on the card that day or night. We constantly see the same members, laughing all the way to the bank, by expanding there bank roll while others will pick one or two games. Typically, if you were playing by yourself or using over hyped services, I would suggest maybe playing  a maximum of two games a night, but as you have seen the percentages stay consistent, do not hold yourself from making big profits.

In the NFL we ended up going 1-1, with a lop sided blowout winner with the Minnesota Vikings laying only 2 1/2 points at home against the Cowboys and losing the over 42 1/2 in the New York Jets at San Diego game. Now if all you do is watch the NFL and are not interested in the dollar than you go 50% with us on the day. But this is where again on average around 60 to 70 members cash in with a winner in college basketball Marquette minus 9 1/2 winning by 30 points over Providence. The NBA came in a winner with the under 206 1/2 in the Mavs vs Raptors game with a final, 88-110. The point that I’m trying to make is simple but this is where a lot of players miss the boat. I always stress we will not win every game we play every night, and we do not feed you bullshit stories but ride the trends and I promise you will not be disappointed. And of course our record in the NHL speaks for itself we had the Rangers minus 140 vs the Canadians and this was a great way to wrap up our week for a members with a 6-2 winner. Thank you to all our loyal members we said it at the end of 2009, your going to be very happy with us in 2010.

The men at Sure Call Sports have definitely turned 2010 into a very large bankroll for there clients. Last night folks, this is exactly what I have been preaching the last several weeks, about diversifying your plays. Typically on any given night Chad or myself will post three to four guaranteed plays of the  day so our members have a well rounded selection to choose from. We practice what we preach and put our own money where are mouths are, we play the same plays we post so make sure your not missing out.

Last night I posted 3 guaranteed plays on the site, in the NHL we had the under 5 in the New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers  game, which the final score was  1-0 , that ended in a shootout. In the NBA we played Detroit Pistons at Washington Capitals, Detroit was the underdog getting +3 points winning outright by 9 point on  the road. Ladies and gentleman this can be fairly easy if you allow it too. I also understand many of you have been on a sports service world tour looking and hoping to find someone you can count on and TRUST. I believe if your are reading this you finally found a service that can get you on the right track, “winning”

I will leave you off with this, we have gone 14-6 in our last twenty games which leaves our members at a winning percentage of 70%. Last night makes me very proud to be running this service going 3-0 for 53 members that purchased all three guaranteed games. Its very gratifying when you speak to members that tell you how excited they are to find a no BS site that puts there games where most put there stories at.

Different decades, different paths to the NBA, different numbers, but same positions , and the same league ! The question is can Kobe Bryant be classified in the same category as Michael Jordan? Or the other question is Kobie Bryant better than Michael Jordan ? Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, no question they both are dynasties in sports franchises. High schooler from Pennsalvania and a college champion from the North Carolina Tarheels. The matchup both weighing in around 210 lbs standing 6ft 6 inches one looks to have a little bit of an edge with more years to come.

Kobe Bryant has won 4 NBA championships in Los Angeles , compared to Jordan’s 6 NBA championships in Chicago. Michael Jordan is leading in total points scored with over 32,000 but Kobe is on pace within the next 5 NBA seasons to catch Jordan.  This should be very obtainable for Bryant to do as long as he stays healthy. Although just recently breaking a finger on his shooting hand he is still scoring 35 to over 40 points a game, incredible. The one thing even if we cant agree on who’s better, is that these to gentlemen are phenomenal athletes with super human powers to take it to another level. Did I mention Kobe hates being compared to Michael Jordan.

The amazing thing is that they both have also had off the court controversies which is just one more comparison.  Kobe was accused in 2003  of raping a 19 year old girl in Eagle Colorado but in 04 she dropped sexual assault charges against him steeling on an undisclosed amount. Michael Jordan’s off the court troubles were in the gambling arena,, which I believe spend your money how you choose.  Jordan has been seen spending large amounts of cash on the golf course to the casinos in Atlantic City NJ to Las Vegas NV at the sports books . Even though these to amazing athletes have plenty of similarities and looking at a few statics most people would see a very close comparison but you do not need a magnifying glass or a statistical fanatic to see that Jordan is hands down the best NBA player ever to have played the game.
