January 26, 200719 yr Where's RP ?? http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/9954603 Using snubs as motivation, Arenas says he'd love to face Duke WASHINGTON -- Gilbert Arenas would like to go back to school and teach Coach K a lesson. Advertisement The Washington Wizards' All-Star figures he could score "84 or 85" points if he got a chance to play Duke and coach Mike Krzyzewski, who cut Arenas from the U.S. national team last summer. Arenas has promised this season to take out his frustrations about the national team on Krzyzewski's Team USA assistants, Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni and Portland coach Nate McMillan. Arenas scored 54 points against the Suns last month and has said his next 50-point game will come against the Trail Blazers on Feb. 11, prompting D'Antoni to say: "I can't wait to see what he does against Duke. He's gonna kill Duke." "He'd like to see what I'm going to do against Duke," Arenas wrote in a posting this week on his nba.com blog. "I thought it was funny because if I have the chance to go back to college, I'll give up one NBA season to play against Duke. "One college game that's five fouls, right? ... 40-minute game at Duke, they got soft rims I'd probably score 84 or 85. I wouldn't pass the ball. I wouldn't even think about passing it. It would be like a NBA Live or an NBA 2K7 game, you just shoot with one person." Arenas was one of the final cuts from Team USA before last year's world championships. The team announced he was released because of a strained groin, but Arenas said the injury was minor and a convenient excuse to cut a player who was getting little playing time. Arenas, who has made a career out of using snubs as motivation, made a late surge in the All-Star fan voting to pass Vince Carter and earn a spot in the starting lineup, announced Thursday. Arenas trailed Carter by more than 200,000 votes as of Jan. 11, but he nipped Carter by 3,010 -- the fourth-closest margin ever -- to gain the spot alongside Dwyane Wade for the East in next month's game at Las Vegas. "Dreams do come true, no matter what people say," Arenas said. "Just work hard and things come to life. I am a living truth of it."

January 26, 200719 yr http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/9954472 Ex-Cav Traylor enters guilty plea to preparing false tax return DETROIT -- Former NBA player Robert Traylor pleaded guilty Thursday to preparing a false tax return after hiding assets for a convicted drug dealer. Traylor's name was used to make it appear that he purchased two Detroit rental properties, but the properties were actually bought and owned by Quasand Lewis, a convicted drug trafficker and money launderer, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy's office. The 29-year-old Traylor admitted in his plea that the properties were listed in his name to conceal Lewis' ownership from police. Traylor also admitted claiming a false loss of more than $205,000 from the properties on his 2004 federal income tax return. "Robert Traylor is a basketball player, not a businessman," Traylor's attorney, Steven Fishman, told the Associated Press on Thursday night. "He got some bad advice and unfortunately he took it. So here we are." Traylor is the second defendant to plead guilty this year to concealing assets for Lewis, who was sentenced in December to 18 years in prison for his role in distributing more than 22,000 pounds of marijuana in the Detroit area. Lewis and Traylor are cousins, the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press reported. Traylor faces up to 14 months in prison. A sentencing hearing was not immediately scheduled. Traylor was one of the former University of Michigan players whose ties to booster Ed Martin resulted in Traylor's disassociation from the school in 2003 and NCAA sanctions against its basketball program. Martin, who died in 2003 at 69, pleaded guilty in 2002 to conspiracy to launder money and told federal prosecutors he took gambling money, combined it with other funds and lent $616,000 to Traylor, Chris Webber -- who now plays for the Detroit Pistons -- and two other Wolverines players. Because of NCAA violations connected to the case, Michigan was not eligible for postseason play for two years, lost scholarships and was placed on probation. Officials from Detroit Murray-Wright, where Traylor played high school basketball, voluntarily forfeited every game won during Traylor's senior season. In 1998, Traylor was drafted in the first round, sixth overall, by the Dallas Mavericks. He played for Milwaukee, Charlotte, New Orleans and Cleveland from 1998-05. Traylor signed with New Jersey as a free agent before the 2005-06 season, but failed a physical and never played for the Nets. Traylor faces up to 14 months in prison for tax fraud. (AP)

January 26, 200719 yr Have you seen anything about the Dunk/3-point contest contestants??? No but I doubt VC will be in it. All the "good" dunkers won't never agree to be in it. It's been like that the last few years. I'm sure there will be some white dude who wins it though. (Brent Barry & Chris ...his last name slips my mind.)
