Who's Expecting?
Miami Heat star Chris Bosh is expecting yet another addition to his family. His wife Adrienne made the news public on Monday via Twitter. The Bosh family seems to associate playoff basketball with bundles of joy as their youngest son Jackson was born during the first round of last year's playoffs versus the New York Knicks.
Phoenix Suns point guard Shannon Brown is also expecting a new addition to his family with his wife R&B artist Monica. Monica made the pregnancy public by posting pictures on her Instagram outlining her clearly pregnant belly this past weekend. This will be the couple's first child together.
Congratulations to the Bosh and Brown family!
Kobe in the Courtroom
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has been making news these past few weeks for the legal drama he and his mother are involved in. Bryant is suing a New Jersey auction house to prevent them from conducting a sale to auction a collection of Bryant memorabilia including high school uniforms and autographed basketballs supplied to them by Bryant's mother. Things could get ugly because Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, and Kobe's grandmother are actually siding with Pamela Bryant, Kobe's mother, supporting that Kobe told his mother that she could have the items. U.S District Judge Renee Bumb set a court-guided mediation session for this Friday for the family in addition to setting the trial date for June 17th. Best of luck to the Bryant family in this sticky situation.
Defense Wins Championships
LeBron James and Tony Allen each received the most votes en route to making this year's NBA All-Defensive First Team collecting 52 and 53 respectively. "We pride ourselves on defense here," said James. Upon hearing the news from Craig Sager following last night's Heat victory over the Bulls, LeBron admitted he was indeed upset about not being named Defensive Player of the Year but he thanked the coaches, rather than the writers that decide the DPOY, for recognizing the work he does on that side of the ball. The Clippers' Chris Paul also made the team with 37 votes, the Thunder's Serge Ibaka with 46 votes, as well as the Bulls' Joakim Noah and the Knicks' Tyson Chandler both with 24 votes. This year's Defensive Player of the Year, Grizzlies Center Marc Gasol, did not make the Defensive First Team.
Jayhawks win the Prize
Top ranked high school basketball player Andrew Wiggins has signed his national letter of intent to attend the University of Kansas. He had until Wednesday to sign it but he has done so early killing the hopes of Kentucky, Florida State, and North Carolina of adding him to their rosters. Wiggins averaged 23.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists for Huntington Prep in West Virginia. Originally growing up in Toronto, he is the best Canadian prospect since Steve Nash. Some even say he is the best high school basketball prospect since LeBron James. Nice compliments for the kid.
