"Every day I turn on the TV and they're talking about guys, especially my draft class, '03 draft class, and this and that," he said. "They keep bringing up all these and I never hear my name, unless I'm like second honorable mention or something like that. I got tired of that. "I don't even think people know I've made all-star teams or know what I've done in this league." Bosh is averaging 26.8 points and 12.3 rebounds this season. He ranks seventh in scoring and second in rebounding. "I always thought of myself as a good basketball player, but after a while I really wanted to turn the corner. I looked at all the other guys who are considered top guys and I was tired of not having my name mentioned," he added. "I wanted to do the necessary work to make sure I put myself in a situation to be successful." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Rockets Deny Reports Of Shouting Match
Yahoo! Sports reported on Friday that the pair "engaged in an emotional and sometimes loud closed-door confrontation" after McGrady dressed prior to a game earlier this week. McGrady wants to return from knee surgery, but the Rockets are being more cautious. "It's not even an issue," McGrady said. "If coach tells you something different, I'd be surprised. I'm here to play basketball. I'm not here to be a distraction. I've been through enough of that drama last year. I'm not going to let it start this year, at all." Adelman said Friday that when they met, the conversation did not get loud but that McGrady did not want to wait for next week to play. "He wants to play," Adelman said. "He's not ready to play. It's as simple as that." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Jameer Nelson May Return Early

New Jersey has yet to win a game this season. "I'm not made for a suit," Harris said Friday. "I'm looking forward to getting out there and running up and down." He hasn't played since Oct. 30 because of a strained right groin. His minutes aren't yet determined, but coach Lawrence Frank is unlikely to overwork Harris. "Who knows?" Harris said of the impact he can have against New York. "The last time I came off the bench I played extremely well. We'll see how it is [today]. I know I've got a ball of energy. I'll burst out as much as I can. We'll see when it comes down to that time of truth in the fourth quarter if we can pull this one out."

He went 0-for-8 from three-point land in Friday night's loss to the Magic. "I ain't worried about it, honestly," said Wallace. "I probably rushed about two or three of them. Other than that, it's good looks, they're just not going for me. I'm not worried about my offense now. It's still early in the season, I know I won't be shooting like this for the duration of the season. "It's just a matter of making some shots. Everybody goes through it, no matter if it's 2-pointers, 3-pointers, or foul shots - everybody goes through slumps every now and then. But the key, or the heart of that player will determine how he plays. I'm not the type to let the threes get me down. I'm missing a couple threes so I don't want to do this any more - no. I'm out there playing basketball." Earlier in the week, Celtics coach Doc Rivers asked Wallace to stop attempting so many threes.

At times, Garnett lacks explosiveness and he went 5-for-13 from the floor in Friday night's loss to the Magic. "No he's not (finishing)," Rivers said. "One day he's explosive, one day he's not, one day he's healthy, one day he's not, and that's just gonna take time. Coming into the year, obviously you would want him to be explosive if you could pick tonight. Tomorrow we don't need you. "But you could see that today," he said Friday night. "It takes time. Some days you have legs, some days you don't. It's your back. It doesn't matter what the injury is, almost. That's just how it works."

"Right now, I could play," he said on Friday. Houston believes that McGrady would risk re-injuring his knee if he came back right now. The next step in his recovery is an MRI on Monday. "We have a difference of opinion," coach Rick Adelman said. "He wants to play. He's not ready to play. It's as simple as that."

The decision was unexpected and has left the WNBA rushing to find a new owner and market for the franchise. "We enjoyed our time with the WNBA and the Monarchs," co-owner Joe Maloof said in a statement. "We are extremely proud of an amazing run that included six straight playoff appearances and the 2005 WNBA Championship. All of our resources are now dedicated to bringing the Sacramento Kings back to championship caliber form." The team could move to Oakland or San Jose and is scheduled to have the second pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Jordan: 'No One Great Player In NBA'
Recently, players have initiated talks that Jordan's No. 23 should be retired league-wide. The firestorm started when Cavaliers star LeBron James announced that he'll soon switch from No. 23 to No. 6. "It was very nice, I totally understand that," Jordan told NBA TV. "But I'm a guy that says there is no one great player in the NBA. The NBA lasts a lot longer than one particular person so I understand what his point is." The NBA leaves the decision on retiring numbers to individual teams. "Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Bill Russell, all those guys should have their jerseys retired, too," Jordan added. "I understand his gesture, but I am in the same group as those guys so I wouldn't want to see my jersey retired unless you retire those guys. It is a compliment. I totally understand that. I appreciate LeBron for doing that and it is very thoughtful." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Broadcasters Suspended For Haddadi Remarks
The duo were penalized by the Fox Sports Prime Ticket cable network. Lawler and Smith made comments about the Iranian-born center during Wednesday night's telecast from Memphis. They did not work Friday night's game against the Nuggets. "That's unfortunate. It was pretty strange not seeing them there," Clippers guard Baron Davis said. "Ralph and Mike are very classy guys, and they didn't do it to hurt anyone. "A lot of times when you're commenting on games, it's a source of entertainment. And a lot of times, people may take offense. But the viewers need to understand that it's entertainment, and people are entitled to their opinion. I stand by Ralph and Mike because they're great guys and they only want to support and help everybody in the league."
