Sue Bird Lauren Jackson and Swin Cash led the Seattle Storm by the Phoenix Mercury 91-88 and go to the WNBA finals. It is the second time Seattle has gone to the finals. They won the title in 2004.

As a sports fan I watched the game and as a person who lives in Seattle I was proud as hell of the Storm going to the finals.

It is sad that local sports radio here in town do not discuss the Storm and the WNBA. Let’s face it folks, it is because sports radio 710 ESPN and KJR are dominated by males except for Elise Woodward on KJR.

And Elise knows her sports too. Hell she is 100% better on the air than Dave “Softy: Mahler for instance who thinks he know sports but in reality knows nothing. Shout out to Elise. Who is also beautiful!

Yes the WNBA players do not dunk, yes the WNBA players play with a small basketball. I don’t care! I love basketball and love seeing great athletesin all sports including the WNBA anf the players who play in the league.

So congratulations to my home town Seattle Storm who is on the way to the finals of the WNBA. Don’t know yet who they are playing but we will report to you who in my next report right here on “Sports Inner City Online”    This is “One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Carmelo Anthony wants out of Denver. The question is why readers? Is he trying to pull a LeBron James? I am getting a little tired of pro athletes.

Anthony is living out his dream playing in the NBA. How many kids get to dream about playing in the NBA and end up their as a adult?

And Anthony is making MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars playing basketball. He gets to have a big house, drive nice cars and then marry a beautiful lady. He is set for life.

Now he wants to demand a trade to a so called better team. Who in the hell does Carmelo think he is readers? He needs to chill out, shut up and play for the Nuggets under his contract runs out and THEN ask for a trade.

Is Denver that bad of a team? Are they that old? I don’t think so. To me it is very arrogent on Anthony’s part to ask for a trade. So now what is going to happen. Are superstar players on so called “bad” going to demand trades? I hope not readers.

Again I have a problem with James and him bolting the Cavs and I have a big problem with Carmelo demanding a trade. Like I said, he needs to be quiet and play for the Nuggets and when his contract is up, then leave. This is “One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

As a sports fan and a basketball junky, I am FED UP with LeBron James.

I never thought I would turn on him because I am a big fan of his on the court. He is a tremendous and I mean a tremendous player.

But he just hit me the wrong wrong way with his move recently from the Cavs to the Heat. The hour long program was not needed!! He could have did what others do. Just hold a press conference and announce he is signing with the Heat.

I feel James is a spoiled brat who is used to people kissing his ass since he was in high school. He was a high school legend who was driving big cars in stuff in high school.

He turned on the fans of Cleveland who supported him and made him a rich young man. I am just bothered by this whole Miami Heat move by James. James gave HIMSELF the name “King James” Give me a freakin break.

Now to make matters worse, James does a interview in GQ that is coming out soon and he blasts the city of Cleveland!! The is WHY? Why would he do a interview and say that among other things against Cleveland. This is CRAZY readers!!!

I can’t wait to see the entire article in GQ. I have said it once and I will say it again. I hope the Heat get beat by forty every game. I will not be a Miami Heat fan…..period. I will not be a LeBron James fan…..period.

It seems rapper/businessman Jay Z is upset at new Miami Heat player Lebron James for the move to the Heat from the Cavs.

Jigga Man is a part owner of the New Jersey Nets and he hoped his friend (or ex-friend) would become a Net but it did not happen.

Word is James did not event call Jay at all. Just like James did not call Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavs!! How did that happen readers?

How could James not call the owner who made him a multi-millionaire to tell him he’s moving to the Heat? Unreal.

Lebron has made a lot of enemies with his move. And the fans in Cleveland have real hate against James and this is a fact readers. The question is does James care?

In my opinion, I hope James, Wade and Bosh get blown out every game. I don’t care about the Heat. I hope Boston, Orlando and Chicago kick their butts!!!

I hope you all will spread the word on “Sports Inner City Online” Urban sports news and issues. And listen to “Sports Inner City Online” podcasts and watch ESPN “Right Now” for the latest sports news. Updated 24/7.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Well “Get Your Popcorn Ready” as T.O. says. Terrell Owens has joined forces with Chad Ochocinco with the Cincinnati Bengals to make a great force on offense for the Bengals.

Head Coach Marvin Lewis has to decided who will get the most footballs thrown to them during the season. And what about running back Cedric Benson. He wants a lot of carries.

As we know, T.O. wants the football in his hands. This is a fact. Chad wants the ball too so what in the hell is going to happen?

I guess it is a good thing for Bengal fans. I wonder at 36, how much does Owens have left. Will he still be the ole T.O. who is not afraid to catch a ball down the middle and take a hit, unlike Chad.

Well we will see this season. I am glad T.O. is back. I wish our Seahawks would have signed T.O. But they did not. I will be watching the Bengals. They should be a very exciting team this coming NFL season. Plenty of end zone dancing from T.O. and Chad? We will see.

Our next story will be about the lack of diversity on local Seattle sports radio stations 710 ESPN and sports radio KJR. Please come back!

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

As I read readers in the Seattle news media blogs regarding the dust up between the Seattle Mariners second baseman Chone Figgins and manager Don Wakamatsu I have to say it is two way street in this situation.

YES Figgins was wrong for not making a play at second, yes Figgins makes big money and YES Figgins is not hitting worth a damn this season.

But I don’t blame Figgins for being upset for being pulled after his play at second. Why? Well there has been other Mariner players who have made blunders in the field and they were not pulled so why was Figgins?

It is a fact Wakamatsu has some SERIOUS communication problems with some of his players. Word is the legend Ken Griffey Jr was forced to retire by Wak. He was not happy on the way he was used. He did not even talk to Wakamatsu for two weeks before he retired. Grif has been nowhere to be found since.

In sports, if the manager or head coach of a basketball, football or baseball team does not do well, most of the time it is the manager or head coach who takes the fall.

Look at the head coaches of the Brazil soccer team. The team did not did well in the World Cup so head coaches and managers took the fall.

When it comes to the Seattle Mariners, Wakamatsu has lost control of his team. In my opinion, he needs to go and go now. Bobby Valentine, Hal McRae, Don Baylor, and others are out their.

The Mariners are one of only a few teams that have not played in the Series and that is ashamed. I want a winner here in Seattle. Under Wakamatsu, I don’t see it happening.

“Sports Inner City Online” is one of only a few urban sports websites on the Internet. Covering issues and stories with people of color in the sports world.

A spinoff of Seattle’s own “Music Inner City TV” and Music Inner Ity Radio” based in Seattle, Washington (U.S)

The REAL king, Micheal Jordan made some comments regarding LeBron James and Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh joining together in Miami on the Heat and they were not good.

He basically said he would not have called Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or Charles Barkley etc to form a super team in the NBA. The is a blast of James by MJ. By the way I wonder how James feels about this because MJ is his idol.

James is getting plenty negative pub all over the place for his bolting from the Cavs. In Cleveland he is really getting negative press in the newspapers on TV and the net and of course from Cavs fans.

And word has leaked about the possible new multi-million dollar home he may move into soon in the Miami area. And folks when you see the pics (above link) you will know the cat has some real dough in his pockets.

I think differently on James and Wade and Bosh. I don’t like the move by these three. It is that simple. I do not like the move.

Please watch “Music Inner City TV” on Comcast On-Demand all over Western Washington state 24/7! Just grab you remote and go to “music” and look for our programs.

And listen to “Music Inner City Radio” every Friday night at 10pm on 1150am KKNW in the Seattle area and streaming online at www.1150kknw.com

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Well as I type this, tonight “King James” will let everyone know where he will be playing. Staying with the Cavs, or bolting to the Knicks, the Heat or the Bulls or even the Nets.

In my opinion this hour long so called special on ESPN to announce where he is going to play is a bunch of crap and the epitome of arrogancy on James part.

Give me a damn break with this “money going to charity” BS. James is full of himself. Don’t get it twisted readers. James is great player. But as others have said, he has no rings. Now maybe he will leave Cleveland and join D-Wade and Bosh in Miami and will have his best chance for a ring.

But as of now, he has zero rings. And by the way, security will be beefed up at James house in Bath Township, Ohio if James says he leaving the Cavs. There will A LOT of upset Cav fans if James leaves. This is for sure.

We will have news on where James is going to play later on tonight right on “Sports Inner City Online”

More NBA news. Former Sonic Ray Allen is staying in Boston with KG, Pierce and Rondo for 2yrs/$20 million.

More details soon right here on “Sports Inner City Online”

Well we sports fans and NBA junkies now know where at least Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade will be playing for the next few seasons and that is with the Miami Heat.

Bosh who is leaving the Toronto Rapters will join forces with his good buddy D-Wade to form a powerful one two punch with the Heat.

But they still need a big center to hang with Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic or even 38 year old Big Shaq when he signs with a team. Shaq most likely will sign with a team in the East. Even at 38, Shaq is a load. He can still get double figure points and rebounds.

The Heat also need a point guard so Wade and play the two position or off guard. Question folks are asking is will GM Pat Riley, move from the front office to the bench and became a head coach again.

Now we wait on “King James” to make his choice which he will do on Thursday night at 6pm Seattle time on ESPN. We will have all the details right here on “Sports Inner City Online”
