What if Barry Switzer had been a basketball coach & coached the Bulls & Lakers, would he have more championship rings than Phil Jackson ????

What if Donald Trump bought the Thunder & moved them to New Jersey, would he force the NBA to have Brooklyn show their birth certificates in order to keep the team name the Nets or would he steal the Pelicans name before the New Orleans team could incorporate it ????

Things to ponder on this Christmas season….

He wanted a bigger role. Johnson ended up getting a five-year, $70-million contract from the Atlanta Hawks, and in 2010 Johnson signed a six-year, $119-million contract with Atlanta, which last summer traded him to the Nets. Harden, you know all about. So Johnson in 2005 was in very much the same situation Harden was in this past off-season. How has it worked for Johnson? Well, he’s had a great career. The big contract in 2010. Six straight all-star appearances. He was the main man on some good Atlanta teams. But not great teams. The Hawks went 26-56 and 30-52 in Johnson’s first two seasons, then became a perennial playoff team. Lost in the first round in 2008 and 2012; lost in the East semifinals in 2009, 2010 and 2011.” [...]
