Kevin Duckworth, former Washington Bullet, passed away on Monday in Oregon. Known around these parts as "Double-O" or "The Big O" for his jersey number, 00, played for the Bullets before the team changed the name to Wizards from 1993-1995. His short stint didn't leave much a mark on the Washington Basketball team, but as a former NBA All-Star, he brought some light to a franchise plagued with bad decsions. He was toward the end of his career playing here, so nothing was gained.

Recently, we was working with the Portland Trailblazers, his first NBA team, in promotion and holding basketball clinics.

The NBA playoffs are a 16 team tournament to decide the championship. Teams play 82 games in the regular season to determine which 16 teams get the chance to compete for the championship.

The Lakers traded Kwame Brown along with Aaron McKie, their first round picks in 2008 and 2010, plus the rights to Paul Gasol's brother, Mark. In return, the Lakers receive center Paul Gasol and the Grizzlies second round pick in 2010. Lakers Trade Kwame Brown

This is a phenomenal trade for everyone involved. The Lakers unload Kwame and pick up a play making center to add to Kobe, Bynum, and Odoms. They give up some first round picks that would most likely be late first round picks with anticipation that the trade will make them contenders for the next several years.

The Wizards defeated the Heat at home 96-74 in a laugher Saturday night at the Verizon Center. The Wizards took advantage of the injury plagued Heat playing without Shaq and Jason Williams. Rightfully so the Wizards rolled up the score on Miami to run the record to 15-14. The team oriented offense and concept was run to perfection. It became sloppy towards the end when the game became nothing but jump shots, but the W in the record books was the important thing. To be able to pile up the wins despite the injuries across the roster is a tribute to management and its decisions. This shows just how far the Wizards have come under Ernie and Eddie.
