King's Kingdom in Miami

Maybe the biggest and the most exciting decision LeBron James has ever made in this year is to shift team. Fans have been so enthusiastic about what team King James will be joining. These past few days, news circulating the Web says that teams such as New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, and Miami Heat were finding a good space to court him. Even his former team Cleveland Cavaliers had to take a run. It's like a group of soldiers bowing down to a lone king.

But just this day, the King's eenie-meenie has ended. Packing his things up, leaving Cleveland and moving South Beach. He'll be joining Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade surprisingly. Now, Miami Heat is scorching like hell having three big, talented dudes stuffed on their team. Just hoping that these three will work everything out, and King James will have his own championship ring this time.

What's Your Frustration?


People do not know that I have these real long-time frustration about being a sports enthusiast. When I was in my early adolescence, I'm on the verge of blaming myself for not being into the world where my favorites like LeBron James and Dwight Howard are making such a good reputation. In my case, I think the sources are more internal, like lack of confidence and talent. But I haven't been, and will NEVER be, into a moment that I should be violent and depressed to fulfill this personal fantasy. That's in another impossible chapter, a shoot-to-kill story.

A question to share: Do you have any frustrations in your life?

Los Angeles Lakers: NBA 2010 Champions


Game 7 has been the most coveted part of any race-to-seven series since it only happens just once in a blue moon. And NBA Finals 2010 really never fails me. The rivalry between Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics has gone until the final curtain call.

Finally, everyone realized that this year is for the L.A. Lakers again, as well as for Kobe Bryant. Although I'm also considering Celtics as a great team (and threat), I've been truly rooting for Lakers since this Playoffs season started. Set aside mocking.

Congratulations Lakers for the back-to-back triumph!

The Fine Line Between Music Artists and Athletes

What's the difference then? Both can offer huge fame and heaps of enthusiastic fans, but who can give you a lasting effect?

Music industry is a little buoyant. Nowadays, YouTube has been the sturdy stepping stone for the amateur artists who want instant fame. Browse the site itself and you'll find thousands of aspirants, waiting to be noticed by talent agents.

But here's the point. You might not have the best vocal power or be a music genius to be called as somewhat "successful" and "renowned" music artist. If you have the charisma, and yeah, looks, you can easily surpass other great artists. Let's all admit that not all of them are really gifted vocally, to name a few - Paris Hilton, Jesse McCartney and Britney Spears, but they're freakingly famous. I agree it's not the voice alone as the major criteria, but the audience find it a good talent for those who have an excellent voice. For sure we'll be surprised if one day the Billboard has already become the habitat of stereotypes.

Unlike in the music industry, sports has been more demanding. You cannot be just an ordinary or average player. And really, I've never heard a very well-known athlete who plays okay on his entire career. Superstars like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods or David Beckham will never be in the limelight of sports industry if they would just be contented to be mediocre. They outshone every other athlete because of their remarkable performances.

However, obviously it's really an arduous road for the novices for them to have a good turn since those great athlete are whom given a massive break. It will take you as much as years to establish a good name in the sports industry.

Who's greater, and who's not?
