PSG Will Sign Wayne Rooney if Manchester United Sign Falcao
You can’t have all the good strikers in the world on one team, it simply doesn’t work, although the overload at Manchester United certainly helped them win, probably, the Premier League title with ease. But if Falcao does arrive this summer from Atletico Madrid, it’ll surely mean someone, most likely Wayne Rooney, will have to make room for the new player, and Paris Saint-Germain would be more than happy to sign him.

Bayern Munich – Everything Juventus Still Aren’t
In a season, or two, Juventus would like to be where Bayern Munich are at the moment. A team that’s been running for a few years, and simply getting better with time, without relying too much on a single player. Sure, some, like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery might be a little bit more important than the rest, but unlike the Spanish giants heading into the semifinal, the feeling around Bayern is that of a cohesive unit, peaking at the perfect time.

FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Makes Everything Look Much Better
It has to be frustrating for manager and players, knowing that sometimes, despite all the talent surrounding and within the football club of Barcelona, all it takes to really get things going is simply the presence of one Lionel Messi on the pitch, even if he’s not 100%, and doesn’t need more than 30-35 minutes on the pitch to make all the problems go away.

Only Michael Jordan Can Beat What Kobe Bryant is Doing This Season
You don’t have to like Kobe Bryant as a person or as a player to appreciate his incredible 2012-2013 NBA season, which is extremely special considering it’s his 17th NBA season, while playing more than all but four other players around the league. Only Michael Jordan has done this well, not to mention better, at the age of 34 while still playing so much every night.

Metta World Peace is Too Sexy For His Cat Interview
Maybe Metta World Peace is a huge fan of Right Said Fred, humming ‘I’m too sexy’ all the time while he was coming back from the injury. Or maybe he’s just as weird as his history of actions lead us to believe he is, adding an extremely weird interview after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets, repeating ‘I’m too sexy from my cat’ at about every question directed at him.

Players Declaring Early for the 2013 NBA Draft
Seniors are no longer the main attraction of NBA drafts, they haven’t been for a long time. Usually, and this year is no exception, players wait till the end of the NCAA tournament to declare early for the draft, and this time around it seems Victor Oladipo out of Indiana and Ben McLemore from Kansas are the ones grabbing the headlines from the others.

Jermaine O’Neal With the Weirdest Goaltending Decision Ever
Most goaltending calls we see in the NBA are pretty much the same – a player slightly misjudging the trajectory of the shot, making the block a tad too late. Jermaine O’Neal decided he wanted to make his one quite special, while also doing it in the most crucial of moments, knocking a shot while it was bouncing off the rim to give the Houston Rockets a last-second victory thanks to his intervention.

LeBron James Dunks After Using the Backboard to Assist Himself
Sometimes, the only person you can rely on is yourself, so when you’re LeBron James, with all of the pluses and talents that includes, not using help from anyone else isn’t such a bad thing. Take for example his impressive improvisation in the Heat’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks, by avoiding an awkward situation with some ingenuity, using the backboard as a platform to assist himself and set up a dunk.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Finishes What Pau Gasol Started
For about three quarters, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to Pau Gasol to keep them in the game and in the playoff picture. Once the fourth quarter began, so did Kobe Bryant, who saved his best for last, hopefully serving as some sort of metaphor for a season that might end up not being as disappointing as it looked to be heading towards earlier in the year.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook Continues to Outscore Kevin Durant
If Kevin Durant had any chance of winning the scoring title for the fourth consecutive time, he probably needs someone to tell Russell Westbrook to stop shooting so much, although it probably wouldn’t help even if Scott Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thudner if someone forgot, would go and scream it in his ear.
