Ricky Rubio Barselona
The best young basketball player in Europe in 2007 and 2008, Ricky Rubio after the statement of the desire to play in the NBA has moved to Barcelona. Why it happened and what to expect from this transition more Ricky said in his first interview with columnist official of his new club.
Finally concluding negotiations between the “Barselona” and “Juventut” you are satisfied with their results?
The truth is that the talks were rather difficult. But we came to mutual agreement, and now I want to enjoy the new team.
As you went through all this turmoil that has arisen around you, because so much has been said about what club you’re going to go … How it all really happened, and how you decided to join the “Barselona”?
When the season ended, I was going to go to the NBA. At the NBA Draft I was elected by a good number and I was pleasantly surprised, but I have not had a chance to go to the NBA. I tried but I failed, and now I joined a great club, with whom I’m going to win many titles. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re looking a handy resource to know every NBA team salaries in 2009-2010 season then you’re in the right place. I’ve just compiled nice PDF document where you will find how much NBA players get paid during the season.
Currently Tracy McGrady gets $23,239,561 for his season and Kobe Bryant plays for $23,034,375. Pretty impressive, huh? Not everybody in NBA makes this amount of money.
You may think that some players just doesn’t perform as well as they’re paid. But that’s natural, you cannot predict future too much, especially in sports where injuries are corner away. Personally I think the most overpaid NBA player today is Andrew Bynum. Twelve and a half million dollars sounds too high considering his contribution.

Shaq Vs Big Show
When 2 monsters (7′ and 7’1) collide nothing good can happen. Shaq vs Big Show match lasted only 1 minute in which Big Show at first tried to choke opponent with one hand but Shaq kicked Big Show out of the ring and left question unanswered who is better, Shaq or the Big Show?
Big Show vs Shaq // WWE
From the picture above you can at least verify that WWE lists Big Show height correctly at 7 feet even because he looks shorter than Shaq about 1 inch. Shaq is 7 feet 1 inch
The infamous video Shaq vs Big Show:
Update (10 01): I just noticed that Shaq was w/ his shoes and Big Show in a regular wrestlers shoes, so it could be maybe 0.5 inch height difference due to this but still Shaq is legitimately taller than Big Show

I often see hot debates in forums or chat rooms who is the best basketball player. Young generation who haven’t seen Jordan playing is always sticking to today’s superstars like Kobe, Lebron or Garnett. Although favorite players can be a matter of personal preference but statistics never lie.
Let’s see who is the first result on Google search “Michael Jordan”, “Kobe Bryant” and “Lebron James”
Kobe with Jordan are the first results on Google for their names while Lebron is third. So if the amount of people clicking first search result is approximately the same, then more popular player would be the one who has the most page views per day.
Luckily, there is a service that can show you how many times a particular Wikipedia page was opened on every day. I ran 3 searches and now see that Michael Jordan is more popular than Kobe Bryant and Lebron James because on average Michael Jordan wikipedia page is seen by more than 10 thousand people while Kobe and Lebron is in the range of 6-8 thousand page views.
