Ramsey: Reggie Jackson Palmer Augen NBA

It is my conviction for the first time he saw Jackson on a basketball court. It was a cold night in 2008 and enjoys Jackson Palmer High School to victory.

I was not alone. Anyone who has visited Jackson knew he to fly to Colorado Springs for the NBA.

There is almost. Jackson, breaking a recent junior season at Boston College, the interest of NBA teams is measured. He's his name in the mix for the project in 2011 but has not hired an agent. Could return for his senior year at BC.

Doherty coach Dan McKiernan attended school basketball Colorado since 1966, and he is quick to say that Jackson is not the best player produced during his watch. That honor went to Denver, Chauncey Billups, who played at George Washington.

But Jackson said McKiernan, laughing, as the second best in the last 45 years, ahead of players like Joe Barry Carroll NBA East Denver, Denver manuals Michael Ray Richardson and Lewis-Palmer Pat Garrity.

McKiernan is convinced Jackson will be in the NBA to be successful.


Jackson has been a slow journey to its elevated position. Hes one of the world more than 20 years, but as a teenager is still a family secret. There was considerable excitement in his last year at Palmer, as he average 29.6 points and leads the terror to a record of 24-3 but so far little noise.

He is grateful for the relative anonymity of his youth. He's to be expected before entering the spotlight.


Its refreshing to talk to Jackson. Raised in a military family, he is friendly with dissolved yes and no man in conversation.

However, it is honest, who would have no time for false modesty.

It is expected to become a star in the school. And he expects to play in the NBA.

I always thought I would be able to do,  he said. Its use is only himself. It is only the amount you want.


Jackson hesitated not to give credit to other believers. His brother, Travis pushed and promoted. His coach at the high school Jimmy Grantz was smart enough Reggie Reggie.

Grantz laugh back during his trip when he first saw the potential of Jackson. Terrorists have to play in a summer league in Fort Collins, before Reggie second year against a great team, robust Longmont.

At the last minute to close the game, the ball was Jackson, who turned away from traffic noise with a quick dribble before they hit the stage for a left-handed slam.

Palmer broke the Bank of joy, but Jackson was running around the yard as if nothing had happened.

Grantz knew better. Something special had happened.


However, air shows Jackson in the way of slowing his development as a player overall. His bizarre adventure riders often disturbing.

That has changed. hard work steadily improved his touch. He shot 44 percent in his first year in British Columbia and 50 percent for juniors to Jesus Christ and his 3-point percentage of 27 percent to 42 percent.

This is not a lock that the NBA is moving. Mock the project are higher than the peak at 15, but usually in the late first round.

If you go back to school, BCS is expected to increase during the first 20 countries, and Jackson in 2012 could increase lottery NBAS.


Reggie Jackson played in the NBA.

NBA: Houston New Jersey 112, Nueva 87

 Kevin Martin had 20 points and pulled Kyle has 16 Lowrie Tuesday in the Houston Rockets '112-87 victory over New Jersey.

Lowrie distributed 10 assists, while Patrick Patterson and Goran Dragic each scored 13 points on the bench for the Rockets, which kept their playoff hopes in the Western Conference.

The Rockets pulled within two games of Memphis for the post berth eighth and final season with 14 rebounds and eight points from Chuck Hayes.

The Nets lost for the seventh time in eight games while playing his sixth match without the injured Deron Williams.

Brook Lopez plays New Jersey with 22 points.

Football: How are you substitutions?

 Akeem Ayers and walked with Rahim Moore in the NFL, UCLA football fans will get used to the new name.

be the first candidate for Ayers held outside linebacker? Glenn Love, a redshirt senior who has extensive experience in special teams, but not yet started on the defensive. The leader to replace Moore at free safety? Dalton Hilliard, a young man, like love, has zero career starts to his name.

Nothing that is really important, though. Hilliard love and not faint ignorance, simply because there is nobody behind them. For example, the three players listed in Hilliard on the UCLA depth provisional card - Alex Mascarenas, Tevin McDonald and Brandon Sermons - three career picks between them. Thus, while Hilliard (right knee surgery) will miss spring practice, the start function is not apparently determined before the fall.

Love situation appears even more favorable. He is a redshirt freshman from aramid Olaniyan, true rookie Aaron Wallace and redshirt junior David Allen (two special teams picks last season).


Instincts are the main reason why Ayers and Moore had been the success it was. All memorable interceptions Ayers - think of your defensive affected disadvantages Oregon and Temple - were the result of their deliberations. He sensed something coming and responded immediately. It is a big reason why experts estimate that the project be successful in the next step be.

Love, insurance premium, not from outside linebacker to the switch last season. His mental development to play a key role in the next four weeks.

Gary Peterson: NHL is hypocritical if you do not cease to fight

began earlier this week the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Matt Cooke pest reject expert thrown elbow the head of Ryan McDonagh New York Rangers. Cooke was not a game or two, but for the rest of the regular season was suspended. And the first round of the playoffs.
Wednesday dotted, Ryane Clowe Sharks Calgary Cory Sarich to a dozen right hand of the watermelon in a game in San Jose. Clowe has five minutes in the penalty area and standing ovations.
This is an interesting juxtaposition, given the sudden interest not on the NHL concussion awareness. The league began to crack down on the surprise success last year.
Repeat offenders were punished more difficult.
Cooke was unlucky - some would say it is worth - is committed to its obligations to the most recent national television and the Directors General of the League were convened in Florida. GM could not have sought a face to the epidemic hits set blatant and debilitating brain injury, but waived its beauty.
It is very personal with the penguins. Sidney Crosby, the captain (and meal-ticket NHL) has been with concussion symptoms 5th January pause.
Ray Shero is the GM a strong supporter of the cleaning of the part.
Suffice it to say Cooke is no love in the organization. Or try some, told reporters: unanimously  I want change. . Head shots are bad. Shocks should be avoided. And yet, speaking for the whole world the noble soul to protect the players, we use the F word: control.
Yes, we had this discussion. And yes, recently Clowe a forum for a game well balanced, which praised the ability to manage a stub includes.
But the call is in progress. What was the culture of hockey. His supporters call the campaign as part of the game, and that could have pierced on Wednesday offered that as an attachment A.
One came after the Sharks Sarich had plowed Logan Couture. Couture was not only comes from an injury in the last game, but refuses to defend himself by throwing his hands. Clowe So he did as the manual calls.
Two, there is some story there. Sarich Patrick Marleau pulverized in a playoff game a few years. Karma limit of the law, a dish best served cold - as you call it, it fits the argument of the fight, as an integral part of the game.
And three, the fight consensual. Clowe was Sarich. Both eye contact. They dropped their gloves. This implies an agreement. It is like a contract with Don King, beaming down. It is therefore fundamentally different from a guy like you with an elbow McDonagh, who saw will never smoked.
The opponents have said that no sport called Reflex to another computer without having to fight gloves as standard practice. And pointed to the intrinsic value that the fight against trafficking in question, since one rarely seen during the events of the signing of hockey - the playoffs for the Stanley Cup and the Olympic Games.
These are old arguments. If the league is to minimize serious head injuries, the focus has changed.
They are so concerned about the welfare of Ryan McDonagh, then you should be concerned Calgary Raitis Ivanans, which does not suffer from a concussion during a fight on the opening night has to be played. You should New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro, who missed nearly two months to be affected after suffering facial fractures in a fight with one blow with Pittsburgh goalie Brent Johnson.
On the other hand, if you are concerned about head injuries suffered in a fight, you should have the cumulative effect of many struggles involved for many years. Clowe is not a normal fighter, but it was Bob Probert.
During a career in the NHL for 17 years, Probert involved in about 300 episodes. He died at 45 last summer. Although there are more than their share of personal problems, there is no doubt that hockey is fighting their health over time damaged. When doctors at Boston University has studied the brain after its death, chronic traumatic encephalopathy was discovered - the same degenerative diseases, in the former NFL players who died too young.
So the question of the NHL: To what extent are willing to extend their concern for the welfare of their players? For if not to the fight, this lack of vision, devoted to something much more selective hypocrisy.
