Ok, so my prediction of the first few picks in the NBA Draft 09 probably was extremely inaccurate, but I got excuses. HAhahaha! If you don't do basketball, please move lower to the sentence after 4.

1. I didn't expect Ricky Rubio to fall so far because of his buyout but the T-Wolves are smart. They're not trading him at all. They know they like this guy. I can also say their a little either smarter or dumber by taking Jonny Flynn. Flynn is a really good fit for the team which suffered a lot last season with their second year into the post-Garnett era. AL Jefferson falling to injury. Their coach gone and two of their top scorers traded away for Rubio and unproven center-Forwards. What I think made Flynn look better than Stephen Curry was probably his natural competiveness and speedy play and athletism. He brings energy and a rare mix of abilities that will help the T-Wolves solve their PG problems. Even if Rubio plays this season, he will have help in bringing the ball up. Defense, FLynn doesn't back down easy i believe and Rubio proved his worth in the Olympics. Now they just have to learn how to do it for 82 games.

2. I had no idea Stephen Curry was highly wanted in Oakland. The GS warriors probably had him in the radar incase Jordan Hill was taken but when the Wizards bolted for two new scorers., Hill was available, problem? so was Curry. No doubt, Curry is more ready than Hill to help a backcourt in need of firepower. Hill probably will have a good start in New York and he can do more reckless abandon down at the Garden. The Knicks need it.

3. That Tyreke Evans is a hell of a combo guard. I had thought Kings would go for this but Rubio was thought to be too good to pass up but I was wrong. Evans will give the Kings a good slasher which is not located in their current backcourt of Ben Urdih and Kevin Martin. THey can shoot it, not slash it.

4. Tyler Hansbrough probably is overrated but he's been underrated that a lot of teams expected him to go down. Larry Bird wants this kid. DeJuan Blair. I was looking for him all day. I was stunned when he fell like 30 places off. I would understand but a kid with a liver condition was picked over him.

well, long excuses and probably not understandable to the basketball mind so I'll talk a little of ufc here. People should really read UFC wiki page to see that the rules make it safer and helpful for a good clean fight.

UFC100:
My predictions:

Dan Henderson VS Michael Bisping

I have to say Bisping is the better boxer but Henderson is more well rounded. Bisping will have to look at his loss to Rashad Evans when he was taken down repeatedly. Henderson has been doing this for years. No doubt he'll be willing to stand and take some shots but he'll still be looking to mix his attacks with takedowns and wrestling. If Hendo gets it down, Bisping is in deep trouble. I would give a slight edge to Bisping as his camp has been making some noise with Rampage Jackson and team UK winning the TUF 9. I'll say Hendo split decision.

George St. Pierre Vs Thiago Alves.

Alves is a beast and big. St.Pierre is the one of the most unique and efficient fighters ever. They way he trains in his camp and how he challenges himself. I have no doubt he'll take Alves down a few times here. Alves will be on his back so he needs to stand up and defend it right to get himself together. St. Pierre will have to eat Alves punches because he will get rocked since the fight starts standing and will have to try to avoid those leg kicks which punished former victims. St. Pierre will take Alves down. GSP via submission or decision.

Frank Mir VS Brock Lesnar.

Mir has reinvented his game very well and he probably needs to upgrade it too against Lesnar. Lesnar is a pure beast at 265 outweighing Mir by over 30 pounds. Mir will have to work from his back to find submissions but will need to anticipate Lesnar's ever evolving game on the ground. His fight with Couture shows that a round with him is probably hard. He has heavy hands and will be difficult to take down. Mir is a BJJ ace before and is still. He's also an improved striker and could wear Lesnar down standing. Taking Lesnar out is possible because he still has holes. I'll go out and say. Lesnar via TKO or decision.
