Portland Trailblazers Tony Parker I'm not sure how much Eva Longoria would enjoy Portland as a city, but Tony Parker is one of the most underrated point guards in the league. He always comes up huge in the playoffs and has the rare ability to score down low for his size.14. Golden State Warriors Carmelo Anthony 2007-08 was 'Melo's fifth seasonin the NBA and I still don't know what to think about him. He is obviously very talented and one of the premiere scorers in the NBA, yet there is something about his game that keeps him out of my top-10. I think it might be his attitude and inability to make those around him better.15. Atlanta Hawks Dwyane Wade If it wasn't for his current rash of injuries the last couple of seasons he would have been in my top-10 without a doubt. One of the most explosive players in the league and very likable from a fan's perspective. Put him in a city like Atlanta and I believe Wade would flourish.16. Philadelphia 76ers Chauncey Billups This is where I think the draft falls off some. I think everyone here-on-out has severe age issues, health issues, or other issues that keep them from being a completely dominant player. Chauncey is a great start to a team, giving Philadelphia a strong physical point guard with proven leadership.17. Toronto Raptors Al Jefferson Gives Toronto a dominant post player that can post double-doubles as often as Bennett Salvatore blows a big call. Jefferson is young, strong, and keeps getting better every year.18.
Washington Wizards Carlos Boozer Sometimes a little inconsistent and very undersized, but Boozer makes up for all of that with his determination and strength. It seems like every time he puts up a double-double it's some ridiculous numbers like 22 and 22. I do think he needs a good point guard that can get him the ball where he needs it, though.19. Cleveland Cavaliers Gilbert Arenas Sure it's a bit of a gamble considering all the injury problems Arenas has had. However, if he can stay healthy he is one of the best players in the whole NBA and is capable of dropping 50 points every night. Add his knack for being in the spotlight and Agent Zero is a steal at 19.20. Denver Nuggets Allen Iverson The first player to actually land on his current team. I personally am a huge AI fan and it kills me to put him at 20 on the list. At the same time you can't ignore that his age is getting up there and I'm not sure how many more seasons he can play at the breakneck pace that we all know and love about Iverson.Picks 21-30 coming on Wednesday. .

Beer and Baseball Both are great seperate, and they go together wonderfully. I love baseball, and I love having a cold brew while watching a game.I am a huge proponent of having a beer at baseball games.But I go to a baseball game, get this...to watch a baseball game.A couple of weeks ago I went with my wife and her sister to see the Detroit Tigers take on the L.A Angels. Her uncle had given us the tickets because he was unable to attend.We arrive to Comerica Park and it happens to be Kids Day They are collecting used ball gloves at the park. What a great night.When we get to our seats, there is hardly anyone around. But as it gets closer to the first pitch, families start filtering in.I see a father with his son A family of five just in front of us.
It looks like its going to be a beautiful night for a ballgame.About the third inning, that all changed.A group of three young people arrived behind us All three visibly drunk, all three cussing loudly. I hear one of the girls exclaim, "Does anybody even come here to watch baseball?"The answer is obviously yes.This scene is something I have seen played out over and over again at professional sports everywhere. I have seen it at basketball games, I have seen it at hockey games, football, baseball, and even college football games.And it is clear that all this is not to enhance the enjoyment of viewing the game. It is for one purpose only...to line the pockets of the franchise.I know this has been around long before I started going to games, but it is getting worse every year If you're coming to the game, come to the game Have a beer, hell, have two beers Enjoy the game, enjoy your friends But let everyone else enjoy the game too. .
BERLIN (Reuters) - An unexploded World War Two-era bomb weighing 100 kg was discovered on Friday by construction workers near Berlin's Neues Museum and police evacuated a surrounding area that includes Chancellor Angela Merkel's flat. Arts | RussiaA spokesman for Berlin police said a 300-meter radius was evacuated as part of a precautionary measure around the museum, which is part of Berlin's Museum Island complex of buildings that was heavily damaged during World War Two.The museums in the eastern section of central Berlin are being renovated. Merkel lives in a flat across the street."The chancellor's flat is indeed located within the evacuation zone," said police spokesman Bernhard Shodrowski "If she's at home, she'll have to vacate the building. And if she's not home, she will not be allowed to drive into the area."We're going to ensure that she remains in a safe area. Once the entire area is evacuated, the experts will go ahead and defuse the bomb.
