Dwyane Wade sues wife for false accusations of sexually transmitted disease
Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Dwyane Wade suing his estranged wife and two of her lawyers, namely Michael Berger and Dorene Marcus, on accusations that the Miami Heat all star transferred a sexually transmitted disease through an extramarital affair. Dwyane Wade would be looking to sue the three and ask for $50,000 from each individual for damages. Siohvaughn Wade the soon to be ex-wife of the All Star shooting guard stated that Dwyane Wade has infected her with an unspecified disease. A few weeks later Siohvaughn Wade withdrew the statement from the court hearing the divorce case for unspecified reasons.
“It has been difficult to see false allegations, rumors and gossip repeatedly discussed in public about my personal life,” Dwyane Wade said “I had no other choice but to file this action in order to clear my name.”
Like any other man in this given situation Dwyane Wade was not satisfied and stated that her allegations caused “embarrassment” and “humiliation” along with damaging future earning potential for the 2006 NBA Finals MVP.
“Mr. Wade has been the victim of a reckless campaign by Siohvaughn Wade and her lawyers to publicly humiliate him and damage his reputation,” Joe Power the attorney of Dwyane Wade said “To clear the public record from these false and malicious allegations, we have filed a defamation suit in court … and will seek appropriate compensation for damages.”

LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers for MVP
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
If the NBA Regular Season MVP award it would most likely settle in the hands of LeBron James, not to take anything away from Kobe Bryant but the fact that LeBron James has no help what so ever on the Cleveland Cavaliers and yet they still have the second Best Record in the NBA Eastern Conference is just amazing.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are second only to the Defending NBA Champions the Boston Celtics, and with the amount of talent on the Boston Celtics compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers it is clear how much LeBron James contributes on both ends of the floor.
Many would also consider Dwyane Wade to be next or even slightly ahead of LeBron James. What we have to look at despite the Miami Heat being a bottom dweller team is that Dwyane Wade has the likes of Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion to help him at least get a winning record for the Miami Heat.
Sure Dwayne Wade has a remarkable stat sheet and he levels up with LeBron James, but the factor that makes everything lean towards LeBron James is that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be far less than the Oklahoma City Thunder without him.

The NBA All-Star Weekend is here.
Since we have arguably, one of the best batches of rookies ever to hit the NBA this season, it is only fitting to have the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge to kick off the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend.

The 2009 NBA All-Star Game is Set
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
The representatives for both the Eastern and Western Conference were finally determined.
With the 2009 NBA All-Star Game only a few more days away, we finally learned who among the league’s top players will be representing the two conferences for the mid-season classic.
And since this year’s All-Star game will be in Phoenix, let’s start with the two guys who’ll be representing the host city on February 15, Suns forward Amare Stoudemire, who was voted in as a starter, and Suns center Shaquille O’Neal, voted in as a reserve by NBA coaches.
You read it, Shaquille O’Neal is back in the All-Star game, moving past NBA greats such as Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Jerry West to land in second place in the all-time All-Star appearances made by an NBA player. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was selected 19 times, still leads everybody.
The 2009 NBA Western Conference All-Stars will be led by reigning NBA MVP Kobe Bryant. He will be joined by New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul in the West’s starting backcourt.
Rounding up the Western starters are Tim Duncan and Yao Ming, joining Stoudemire in the frontcourt.
Joining Shaq as a reserve for the 2009 NBA Western Conference All-Stars include Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Chauncey Billups, Tony Parker, Brandon Roy and David West. The Western Conference will be coached by the Lakers’ Zen Master Phil Jackson.
For the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference All-Stars, defending NBA champions Boston Celtics will have two representatives with Kevin Garnett starting at the…
