Greatest Ever

Greatest tennis player of all time. No more arguments with that. Fifteen Grand Slam titles, most all-time breaking Pete Sampras' record. Six Wimbledon, five US Open, three Australian Open and one French Open. He's rewriting tennis record books all over again. Need to say more?

Can't wait to start the NBA 2009-10 season. With all the acquisitions, the elite teams are getting better and better. Although signings will start tomorrow, 2009 free agent players' movement is one of the exciting in recent years. Why wait for 2010 for Lebron, Wade and Bosh?

To cap it off, let's have a rundown of the elite's team elite acquisition

Lakers - Why cry over Ariza? Yes, he was very instrumental in their championship run but it's Ron Artest coming to take that spot. A very great upgrade in all basketball sense. I just hope they will agree to terms with Lamar Odom.
Spurs - I always admire the Spurs in doing bargains. Now it's Richard Jefferson. This just makes team younger and the best fit - a Manu Ginobili insurance. This just solidifies their #2 status in the West.
Cavs - Ok, I love Shaq and I believe he still has something to win his 5th championship along with King James. "A Ring for the King!"
Magics - I don't care if they lost Hedo to free agency, ei, I have Vince Carter. Admit it, you're also a Vince Carter fan before. Hahaha.
Celtics - Oh my Celtics! Rasheed Wallace is a big plus! I hope Grant Hill will join the group next week.

Well, Hedo is going to Toronto, Jason Kidd re-signed with Dallas but there are still decent players in the market for those teams running to challenge the Lakers.

Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom and Marvin Williams can start with other teams. Anderson Varejao, Brandon Bass, Stephon Marbury, Chris Andersen, Chris Wilcox and David Lee are good role players coming off the bench.

Just feel sorry for Allen Iverson. Yes, he is a unrestricted free agent but nobody's taking care about it. Totally forgotten. End of career for AI.
