We all know that instead of Tito Ortiz fighting Chuck Liddell in the main event of the UFC 115 fight card, it will be Rich Franklin; who will also replace him as a coach in The Ultimate Fighter.
What we don’t know is why.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics last met in 2008 when the Celtics won the series 4-2 for their 17th crown.
After dispatching their Conference Finals opponents in 6 games: the Lakers against the Suns while the Celtics against the Magic, these two teams are destined for a rematch of their 2008 NBA Finals showdown.
A lot has changed since then.
On my 500th blog post, I have related that since this web site’s birth last February 12, 2009 to March 30, 2010, this has already been visited by 719,940 unique visitors .
Now two months and 171 more blog posts later, I’m proud to say that another significant milestone has been reached.
This web site has already received its 1 millionth unique visitor this evening.
By winning games 4 and 5 in their Eastern Conference Finals series with the Boston Celtics, the Orlando Magic threatened to become the first team in NBA history to win a series after a 3-0 deficit.
At Game 6 today, Nate Robinson scored all of his 13 points in the second quarter leading a charge that allowed the Celtics to pull away for a 96-84 victory and series win, 4-2.
With the win, Boston became the first team to advance to the 2010 NBA Finals and their second finals appearance in three seasons.
If you have followed The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights reality series, you could say that the two opposing coaches; two former UFC light-heavyweight champions, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans don’t like each other.
No, hate each other must be more like it.
Displaying genuine animosity, the two trash-talked at every opportunity they can and almost fought inside the TUF house on more than one occasion.

2010 NBA Playoffs Conference Finals Round | Ron Artest Hits Buzzer Beater
Category: BasketballWith the score tied at 101, Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant had the chance to give his team the win just like he has been doing all season long.
With the ball in his hands and 3.5 seconds remaining in the shot clock, Kobe took the pass and heaved a prayer.
Hounded by Grant Hill and Steve Nash, he missed..
… by a mile.
