Is it newsworthy to mention that during the volleyball
game with the Volleyball Professionals tour, our
Laker player, Luke Walton, along with his pals
were out there on the court for a pickup playing game?
Or is it worth while to mention that Vin Sculley
will once again be coming back for 2011 as broadcaster
for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games?
And awhile back we lost John Wooden that we spoke of
yet last Saturday eve. there was a talk show on our local
TV station interviewing him along with the mentioning of his
newly written book?
UCLA recently made room at the athletic Hall of Fame in the J.D.
Morgan Center for many of John Wooden's gathered treasure
including presidential letters, books, pictures, rolltop desk
and all kinds of memorabilia that once was housed at his
home in his own private den. A place where many sat around
for hours, shared and talked and got some solid Wooden advice..
Latest news that ought to be passed on is the fact that our
Lakers will be playing the Boston Celtics on January 30th.
That game will be played here in L.A. The rematch game will
take place in Boston on Feb. 10th.
LeBron James' homecoming game is set for Dec. 2nd.
The NBA's 2010-11 schedule sends James and the Miami Heat
to Cleveland that night for the MVP's first game in Ohio as the
visitor. Chris Bosh, who like James went to Miami to form an
All-Star trio with Duyane Wade, will face his old fans for the first
time when the Heat visit Toronto on Feb. 16th.
The Lakers will play host to the Miami Heat on Christmas Day.
Lakers owner, Dr. Jerry Buss, feels confident our Laker team will
beat the Miami heat. So on that enthusiastic note we will bid s'long.

Other BB News
Summertime and the living is easy, time for other bits of
news worthiness to be written and hopefully read as well.
news worthiness to be written and hopefully read as well.
Members of the 1992 dream team, Scottie Pippen,
Magic Johnson, Chris Mullin, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,
Magic Johnson, Chris Mullin, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,
and Patrick Ewing was inducted one week ago today into
the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in
Springfield, Mass. Lakers great Magic Johnson,
Michael Jordan & the rest of the famed squad were
Birds' teammates in his last competitive games, a
powerful & popular group widely credited for the
growth of international basketball.
Another Prime Directive is regarding the cable
network that gave the Lakers even more exposure
with Jerry Buss' leap of faith in financing and launching
the Prime Ticket basic cable service. It quickly became
the teams' most powerful marketing tool, a "must see"
T.V. sporting event. Dr. Jerry Buss was inducted into
the Basketball Hall of Fame one wk. ago today for his
contributions to the game. With help this past season
from Kobe Bryant, Jerry Buss won his 10th. championship
as owner of the Lakers. In fact there has been a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame recognizing his accomplishments
for the past four years. It shows an antenna and small T.V.
set signifying his fame on the star. His novel idea of the
Prime ticket paid off and he has been honored for his
keen innovation in the world of sports broadcasting.
Quite an achievement!

Tid Bits and other News
Do you recall me saying at seasons' end Re: our
Laker team after they once again won the
championship, that I just may be willing to
describe other topics of interest for you that
could pique your interest? But first I will bring
this to your attention however, the fact
that we are indeed going to be continuing
having Shannon Brown on our team for
yet another 2 years! Yes, he has consented
doing so & even turned down more lucrative
offers for a shot at a third straight championship!
He is certainly an acrobatic backup for our
Kobe Bryant averaging career highs of 8.1
points and 2.2 rebounds with 1.3 assists last
season. Shannon, we welcome you back into
the fold.
Now to this other news I read this morning.
There is a near fatal disease I doubt many
of us are no where near aware of.
It is a flesh eating disease and can be very
fatal. It used to be noticeable mostly with a
staph condition. Flesh eating bacteria lurks
to destroy when given the opportunity to
grow and multiply. It is all too often a death
sentence. It can strike out of the blue,es-
pecially with obese people, diabetics,cancer
patients,transplant recipients & others with
weak immune systems. It kills 20% of its'
victims. It is a violent trend and one that
can be started with a strep infection.
It gets scarier as it is often drug resistant.
Inch by inch it can devour spleen, gall bladder,
appendix, parts of the stomach & intestines.
To treat it, doctors cut away dead tissue,
but the infection often advances. Countless
surgeries are performed to keep the victim
from being destroyed from the inside -out.
The actual name for this disease is:
necrotizing facilitis.
Trauma and shock facilities rarely see this
disease so it is very likely many cases are
not even diagnosed properly. Any forms of
a rarity for non-conforming healing of an
open wound ought to be handled with extreme
caution and care. The doctors at the University
of Maryland Medical center + many of
the doctors at Columbia, MD & Georgetown
University Medical Center are very much aware
of this horrible disease and have seen cases
that have required endless surgeries for life.
Please, it is not my place for star wars form of
fright, but a warning only to make my readers
know some of what I have recently read yet still
could scarcely realize myself so I felt an urging
to pass this information on to my readers. Take care.

Shaquille O'Neal, former Laker player for the NBA,
has now signed on to be with the Celtics team out
of Boston..Oh my! Not the Celtics? Well, yes it is
true, even though Shaq took quite a great deal less
money for the job besides! Along with the threesome
Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett & Ray Allen, Shaq will be
playing now in place of injured Kendrick Perkins.
We are always hopeful for another championship
game with the Lakers and leery of the Celtics so
yes, we will certainly be taking this change seriously.
And another item of interest that actually is not one
that we must be concerned over, but it is newsworthy
all the same in the terrible tragedy that happened
outside of Memphis, Tenn. to an NBA player Lorenzen
Wright, missing and found dead. Missing for 10 days,
the family was devastated over the death of this 34 yr.
old man. Having played for 13 yr. in the NBA..this was
indeed a very sad loss.
Earlier on the courts, we find another saga..our Kobe
Bryant being confronted in an argument with Matt Barnes
formerly with Orlando but now friends apparently as the
Lakers have signed Matt Barnes to play with our team!
Having lost Jordan Farmar, we now are finding that
Matt is to play with the Lakers. He was a former UCLA
standout and shows great potential."This is a dream
come true" Barnes told reporters. As a tenacious player
it looks as if we have a good re-bounder, a better perimeter
defender and a dependable 3 point shooter. Seems a winner!
