It's official Michel Curry is The Pistons new Head Coach.


"The Associated Press reports the Pistons have hired assistant coach and former player Michael Curry as their new head coach.The Pistons have scheduled a news conference for noon tomorrow at the Palace of Auburn Hills.Curry was an assistant on Flip Saunders' staff last season, his first stint as a coach of any kind.Last Tuesday, president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said at that newsconference that the team would move quickly on hiring a new coach.According to the Associated Press, Curry agreed to a three-year deal worth $2.5 million a year guaranteed with the team holding the option for a fourth season.A former co-captain for the Pistons, Curry played in Detroit from 1996-97 and 1999-2003. He's a former teammate of Dumars and several current Pistons, including Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince."Via The Detroit Free Press


I don't know if this is the right choice for coach cause Avery Johnson was out there too. I hope Joe Dumars knows what he is doing.


Ken Griffey Jr. Hits 600


Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th Home Run against the Marlins Tonight as he is behind Sammy Sosa (609) in the All-Time Home Run List. Congrats to him and the Reds.

Mike Williams going to Duquesne


Looks like another cat is leaving Kentucky. Mike Williams is leaving Kentucky to Duquesne. I dont blame him. He is not going to play for Billy Gillispie. He was for tubby but that ship has sailed. This guy I heard, gave 110% this last year to not only have playing time but be a better persone. This guy is going to do great things at this school. He better cause it sounds like a geeky college. Good for him.

Rondo 16 Assists


It was a big night for Kentucky fans last night as Rajon Rondo led the Celtics to a series 2-0 lead over the Los Angelous Lakers in the NBA Finals. Rajon had a pretty good night last night as he had 16 Assists. I would tell you about his points but this is more interesting. The last player to have at least 15 assists or higher in the NBA Finals was Magic Johnson and that was 20 years ago. Look, I knew Rajon was good but not this good. This guy has shut up all the scouts and made a name for himself. He has toons of fans. Right when his website opened thats where he had his signup for his own camp and it was sold out the first day. Thats crazy. This guy if he still working hard would be probably better than Tayshaun Prince and the best Wildcat to play in the NBA.

Carmelo Anthony intersested in Pistons


I recieved word that the Pistons are trying to get Carmelo Anthony. Alos I have heard that the Pistons may put Chauncey Billups on the chopping block to trade. But thats a rumar. If thats true though I think the Pistons are trying to trade Cahuncey for Carmelo. Now, is this a good move? It can be but it can also be bad. Look Camelo is a great player, dont get me wrong but he doesnt have the experiance like Chauncey that will get you to the NBA Finals. But its a win win situation for Detroit though. Can't wait to see whats going to happen next.
