Miami Heat fall to Feckless Washington Wizards- The Washington Wizards entered last night's game against the defending champion Miami Heat with only one victory, the Heat had 12. Add on top of that, Lebron James (fresh of being named the Sports Illustrated Person of the Year) scored a triple double with 26 points 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Wizards looked like they were on pace for a 1-14 start.
- Then a crazy thing happened, the Wizard messed around and won a 105-101 game. Lebron James missed two three-pointers in the last 30 seconds that would have made the game a lot more competative. The Wizards were lead by Jordan Crawford's 22-points. The Wizards were mostly helped by their bench that scored 64 points.
- Washington Redskins superstar quarterback Robert Griffin III was sitting court side for his first Wizards game, it is yet to be determined if RG3's magic on the football field translated to the basketball court.
Hornets to Change Name
- The New Orleans Hornets, recently bought by Tom Benson, the owner of the Saints, are changing their name to better illustrate the culture of Louisiana. Possibly as early as the beginning of next season, they will be known as the Pelicans, which is the state bird of Louisiana and appears on the flag. Other names that were the Krewe and Brass, but apparently the Unibrows was never seriously considered.
- Interestingly enough, Michael Jordan had recently mentioned that he'd be open to changing the name of his Charlotte Bobcats to the Hornets, which was the name of the New Orleans franchise before they moved away from Charlotte. Charlotte fans had already started a grass-roots movement to bring back the old team name and colors and now that the Hornets name is set to be available, it looks like that's a distinct possibility.
