Worst Team Names in Pro Sports
November 9, 2008
Total Pro Sports - In honor of the Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly the Seattle Supersonics, we would like to look at the worst team names in all of professional sports.
You would think that in 2008 that there wouldn't be anymore crappy team names. However, It seems that right now we are in the middle of a lame name renaissance, with many new teams picking bad names to represent their cities.
Let's take a quick look at some other Worst Team Names in Pro Sports.
NBA Fantasy 3 Stars: Week 1
November 5, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Even though this was a shortened week, we will publish our first week of NBA Fantasy 3 Stars. The first week in any sport is hard to determine who was the best performer. Players are trying to find where they left off last year, as a little rust is still visible on most players.
Not only were these NBA players big fantasy basketball performers, they helped their own team win on the court.
Lets take a look at the NBA Fantasy 3 Stars for Week 1.
1st Fantasy Star - Chris "CB4" Bosh, Toronto Raptors
Chris Bosh was a monster on the court this past week averaging 26 points, 10 Rebounds, and 4 assists per game. He lead the Toronto Raptors last week to a 3-0 record, along with 2 wins on the road. The combination of Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh look deadly, and are already drawing close comparisons to a much more athletic version of the "Twin Towers". If you have Bosh on your fantasy team this kid should be a fantasy starter all the time. Look for the Raptors to keep on improving as long as the team could stay healthy.

Lets take a look at the rest of the league: NBA Power Rankings for pre-season and Week 1.
Allen Iverson Is Motown Bound
November 4, 2008
Total Pro Sports - This is not an error, Allen Iverson is on his way to the Detroit Pistons. Joe Dumars
promised his fans during last years Eastern Conference loss that the Pistons would be revamped to compete with the Boston Celtics.
"We just felt it was the right time to change our team," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars told The Associated Press. "Iverson gives us a dimension that we haven't had here and we really think it's going to help us."
In a trade with the Denver Nuggets, the Detroit Pistons will send All Star forward Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess to the Nuggets for Allen Iverson.
The Nuggets are hoping that Billups, a native of Denver and past star at the University of Colorado, will be a better fit with All Star forward Carmelo Anthony. Chauncey Billups should mould into the Nuggets style of play and boost them to the elite of Western Conference teams.
Isiah Thomas Overdoses On Sleeping Pills
October 24, 2008
Total Pro Sports - From an Illustrious playing career to the ill faded management positions, Thomas has had nothing go right for him. Isiah Thomas tried so hard to stay in the game, but positioning himself with the wrong teams left his career battered and bruised.
Hopefully this overdose was not a suicide attempt. We don't want to remember Isiah Thomas as the former hall of fame basketball player who tried to killed himself. He should be remembered as the hall of famer who led the Pistons to the top of the NBA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an accidental overdose of sleeping pills at the suburban home of former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, police said on Friday.
Police would not identify the victim, except to give his age. Thomas is 47. Harrison Police Chief David Hall said the case was not a suicide attempt.
CBS Station WCBS-TV in New York reported that the man who overdosed was, in fact, Thomas. The station cited unidentified sources in the report.
Corey Maggette Sidelined With Strained Hamstring
October 23, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Why risk a new $50 million dollar contract in exhibition games. We all know what you can do Corey. At 22.1 points per game, you don't need to show the Warriors or the Fantasy basketball world what your made of. Rest that injured hamstring, and come into the season 150%.
----------------------------------------------------------------
With a week to go before the season opener, the Warriors' $50 million free agent, Corey Maggette, was sitting on the floor during Wednesday's practice, an ice pack over his right leg.
Maggette has a strained hamstring, serious enough that he was to have an MRI exam late Wednesday. He said he'll also sit out today's practice but expects to play when the Warriors open the season against New Orleans on Wednesday night.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "That never crossed my mind that I won't play Wednesday. I've got a lot of time."
Maggette averaged 22.1 points for the Clippers last season but missed several games with a strained right hamstring (he appeared in 70 of 82 games). He said his current injury is different because it's higher in the leg but added, "Hamstrings are probably the trickiest injuries" because a primary treatment is rest.
The forward said he "tweaked" the hamstring in Saturday's exhibition in China, but he played Tuesday's exhibition against a Lithuanian club team, collecting 17 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes. He had five turnovers, wasn't at his best defensively and said he wasn't able to drive with power.
So he's skipping two practices, though he suited up Wednesday and shot lots of free throws.

Larry Hughes Out 6-8 Weeks
October 23, 2008
Total Pro Sports - So much talent, but no luck for Larry Hughes. He's been hampered with injuries ever since he first stepped foot onto an NBA court. Maybe it was best for him to stay a little longer in college?
If your thinking of drafting him ion your fantasy basketball team be very cautions as he is a band aid. If you can get him as a third or fourth option be sure to take the chance on him, but don't draft him earlier then that in you fantasy basketball league.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Team sources said Hughes would miss six to eight weeks after dislocating his right shoulder late in the third quarter of the Bulls' 85-75 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night at Target Center.
Sources said it's likely surgery would be avoided, although more tests will be conducted Thursday or Friday.
Hughes had scored a game-high 21 points with three steals before colliding with Timberwolves swingman Mike Miller with 3 minutes 27 seconds remaining in the third. At a timeout 11 seconds later, trainer Fred Tedeschi raced to attend to Hughes, who later had his shoulder popped back into place.
Kobe Bryant Jumps Over A Car?
October 18, 2008
Total Pro Sports - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! If you have yet to see this video/commercial, this is just crazy, Kobe Bryant "I Got This" of the Los Angeles Lakers, jumps over an Aston Martin in a parking lot. What looks to be his sidekick "Ronnie Turiaf" former member of the Los Angeles Lakers is there witness it all. Sicko's or just video editing, which ever one it is this video kept me in awe.
A great viral marketing campaign for NIKE, they are sure to sell a boatload of those NIKE shoes that Kobe Bryant is wearing. Everyone will think they can jump over cars driving at 65 M/HR. I'm going out to Footlocker now to buy my pair!
In honesty, a guy making hundreds of millions dollars, probably wouldn't risk his life and career just to film a video or commercial. It didn't matter how much you pay me, I wouldn't JUST DO IT! Nike.
