Man as a NBA fan today was a good day for breaking news. The fans in Los Angeles I am sure had a up and down day with big Albert coming to town. I will be writing my feelings on that trade very soon.

The fans in L.A. got very excited with the trade that would brought “CP3” Chris Paul to the Lakers that would have teamed him with Kobe Bryant to form a powerful guard combination. BUT something happened along the way readers. David Stern and the owners said “No”

Rumor is the NBA owners told Mr. Stern that this trade cannot happen. The owners do not want  a powerhouse team in L.A. I guess. What is going on folks? The owners I guess have said to Stern this is not fair for small market teams like the Bucks, Bobcats, Thunder etc.

If this is true, Stern is flat out wrong for putting a halt to this trade. The trade would have also sent Lamar Odom to the Hornets and Pau Gasol to Houston. We will have more news on the big mess and other NBA trades right here on “Sports Inner City Online” Believe me you have not heard the last of this!!   Gordon Curvey

As news of possible trades in the NBA as the training camps open, I am here in Seattle without a NBA to watch and it is still very very sad for me as a NBA fan and basketball junky.

The Sonics left town a few years ago after the clown “Mr. Starbuck’s” Howard Schultz sold the team to Clay Bennett who moved the team to dust town Oklahoma City. A one pro sports town. Truly sad. Because the Seattle Sonics were here for FOURTY YEARS readers.

When the Sonics left, it was a very sad day for me. I covered the Sonics at shootarounds for about 15 years and did interviews with Micheal Jordan, Big Shaq (at least four times), Ishiah Thomas, Chris Webber, Phil Jackson and on and on. I interviewed MJ when for the last time he came to Seattle with the Bulls.

“The Glove” Gary Payton is a Seattle sports legend and a for sure first ballot Hall Of Fame member. And he is very outspoken about having a NBA team back in Seattle. He wants to be part of a ownership team to help bring the Seattle Sonics back here to play. He told us just that in a interview we did with GP a few months ago at a Sonics tribute held by the Seattle Mariners.

Shout out to GP!! Let’s keep up the fight along the fellas at Sonicsgate to bring the sport I love so much, the NBA back to where it belongs, Seattle, Washington!!  Gordon Curvey

African American managers are not being hired. Just look at what is going on. Ron Washington and Dusty Baker and that’s it? Come on sports fans. Something is big time wrong.

Guys like Robin Ventura and Terry Collins can get hired. Yes the GM of the White Sox is African American but so what? What was he thinking? Why didn’t he realize that their is a lack of African Americans managing teams in baseball?

Do other GM’s realize that African American managers are not being hired? Do they know that the “good ole boy network” is going on big time? Are they looking around?

Guys like Bo Porter, Don Baylor, Willie Randolph, Davey Lopes, Lloyd McClendon, Jerry Royster, Jerry Manuel, Hal McRae, Demarlo Hale and Seattle Mariner batting coach Chris Chambliss are not being hired or re-hired so what is really going on readers?

Please don’t say “the best qualified is being hired” that is wrong! I hope people toss this issue to Commissioner Bud Selig. Yo Bud what is really on?   Gordon Curvey

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

I do not like to bash my brothas on “Sports Inner City Online” because the majority media does a real good job of doing that but after listening to big Ndmukong Suh in his post game conference I had to write something.

If you are a sports fan you know Suh was kicked out the game against the champ Green Bay Packers the other day for knocking a Green Bay players helmet against the turf at least three times and then tried to stomp on his arm or shoulder. What in the world was Suh thinking?

Suh has been fined before for his actions on the field. Hell he even requested a meeting with the Commissioner about his play on the field and his fines. Yes he requested it readers. Then he turns around and does what he does in the game. Unreal! And this brotha is making commercials on TV too!

But I will tell you what I listened to Ndamukong in his post game conference and his explanation of his actions and i thought dude is not thinking well. He tried to blame everyone but himself. He blamed the officials and everyone but himself. I just could not belief what he said.

I honestly belief Suh needs to slow his roll and play football hard but not breaking the rules. Everyone saw that he was in the wrong so he needs to realize that he hurting his Lion teammates when he does stupid things on the field.

At the time I am writing this a decision has not been made on a fine of suspension. What it is, Ndamukong Suh needs to fly right and just play hard nose football. He is to intelligent of a brotha to act in the way he does on the field.   Gordon Curvey
