Since Iverson had been in Denver, I haven't seen anything special. He scored 16 points against the Lakers the other night and had a fued with Kobe Bryant. He came to Denver averaging 28 points a game. No matter how much I like that Iverson is playing for my team, I can't stop picturing Larry Brown smiling once he knew that Iverson was of the Sixers. This guy is an amazing basketball player, I just hope he can use his talent as a team player.

The Real Michael Jordan
My best friend's dad's friend (lol) is one of Michael Jordan's friends. He was telling us about how Michael Jordan is always flirting with women. Since his recent divorce I am starting to wonder how great of a person Michael Jordan is. There is no doubt that he is one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game, but you have to have ethics in the world off the basketball court.

Allen Iverson Comes To Denver
Chad Stroh
It's official. Allen Iverson is coming to the Denver Nuggets. By adding Iverson to the team, the Nuggets will have one of the best offenses in the league. The Nuggets have already been in the news latley for the fist fight that happened in New York. That fight ended in the suspension of several Nuggets including Carmelo Anthony. It will be interesting to see the chemistry between Iverson and the team. Before the recent suspension, the Nuggets were on a roll and Anthony was the lead scorer in the league. Iverson has high hopes of going to a championship team and the Nuggets might very well be that team. A large blizzard in Colorado is making it difficult for Iverson to come to Colorado, but as soon as he gets there, the Nuggets will begin discussing Iverson and where he will fit in. Along with Iverson, the Nuggets recieved Ivan McFarlin, a 6-8 forward. The Nuggets lost Andre Miller and Joe Smith from the team. The day that Iverson was traded to the Nuggets will be one of the most important days in the history of the Denver Nuggets organization. The only problem is that traded players must arrive at their new teams within 48 hours and the airlines are canceling flights due to a large snow storm in Colorado. Iverson is expected to make practice on Thursday and debut against the Sacramento Kings Friday.

My Respect For Sports
By Chad Stroh
As I just finished intramural basketball, I am reflecting on why I love being on a team and how great team sports are for our culture. I was talking to some people from South Korea about the differences between high schools and universities in America compared to those in South Korea. They told me the almost all of the High Schools and Universities don't have school sports or intramurals. They told me that the focus was very much on education. I disagree with this ideology very much. Some of the most educational times in my life have been from being on several different teams. I have grown friendships and broke the boundaries of culture. I have met people that I probably would have never talked to, simply because we share a common bond for the love of a sport. That is a life lesson that can't be taught in schools. This unorganized intramurals team I have been on in the last two weeks has been one of the best teams I have ever been on. The team was called "Individuals" because it was people who signed up in groups of one or two people, but the team was anything but individuals. We made it to the championship game and lost. As I continue to play sports I learn lessons about life, friendship and myself. This is a lot like life. It doesnt matter where you end up, just how you got there.
