    Im sure most of you are familiar with the ESPN show Around The Horn

    If not heres how it goes.
    Ill ask a question
    Ex: Will Kobe lead the Lakers to the playoffs?
    Someone comes up and says Buy or Sell followed by a reason
    Ex: Buy Kobe is a top 4 player and will do whatever it takes to get there.
    Then they ask a Buy or Sell question.

    Got it? Good

    Buy or Sell: Kobe will win a MVP award before LeBron

    I dont believe Bryant is as good as his resume shows, while on the other hand I believe that LeBron will be better than his ultimate resume will show. Bryant pretty much has next season to show what he can do while LeBron has many years ahead of him to improve and show what he is capable of.

    Ultimatly, I dont think either of them will ever win it and will be two of the best players to never win the award. case in point: currently AI and Bob Cosey are the only two small players to ever win the award. Every single winner those two excepted have been centers and forwards. I dont really see either of them bucking that trend.

    Buy- With Shaq nor on the team anymore Kobe can finally be number 1, HE will lead the league in scoring and the Lakers will make the playoffs, he will win the MVP award...if his trial doesnt get in the way

    Buy or Sell- Dwyane Wade will be the better than Carmelo Anthony when his career is over..

    Sell. Carmelo and Wade are both on teams that could go far within the next few years, but I believe that Shaq will be the ultimate defeat for Wade, if indeed the Heat do win a ring. Everyone will believe it was Shaq's doing, and Wade will be known as Shaq's sidekick.

    Buy or Sell...the Bulls will win a championship within the next 10 years.

    Sell- I dont think this team is talented enough unless they make drastic changes like signing a big name FA when they are available like LeBron or Carmelo...IF they dont make any changes within 10 years they wont be able to get past raising powerhouses such as Memphis, Denver, Detroit, and others...but it is really to hard to tell right now

    Buy or Sell: LeBron James will be better than MJ when it is over for him.

    Buy U.S has a very good chance at getting the gold. They just have to improve their perimeter defense and theyll be good. They will learn from thier mistake facing ITaly.

    Buy or Sell: Sixers win the Atlantic division?

    LOL the Heat and Orlando arnt even in the Atlantic Division. Sixers are still better than the Knicks too.

    Anyways Buy: Tim Duncan is a beast. Arguably the best player in the league along with KG, Kobe, and Shaq. The Spurs are better than the Wolves an Kings too so yes he will.

    Buy or Sell: THe Kings will not win a title within 10 years.
