The 2009-10 NBA season had already wrapped up!
The LA Lakers had won its 16th championship in a grueling seven-game 2010 NBA Finals series against its nemesis the Boston Celtics.
The 2010 NBA Draft was held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City last June 24 with the Washington Wizards selecting John Wall from the University of Kentucky with the number one pick.
Let’s now dabble into the 2010 NBA free agency market.
The NBA free agent class of 2010 is one of the deepest in recent memory as it features the biggest names in the NBA spearheaded by the one player every NBA team is salivating to get, Lebron James.
After all, he has been the best player in the NBA this past two seasons capturing back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards for the regular season.
At only 25 years old, he has not reached his full potential yet and is odds-on favorite to win at least one NBA championship before his Hall of Fame career is over.
Eclipse is the third installment in The Twilight Saga by novelist Stephenie Meyer.
Following the success of the film adaptation of the first book Twilight, which was released on November 2008 and the second book New Moon on November 2009 which grossed $400 million+ and $700 million+ respectively worldwide, I will not wonder if Eclipse will break the $1 billion mark.
After all, the series had already captured the imagination of many people with its human-vampire-werewolf love triangle setup.
The original cast returns to reprise their roles: Kristen Stewart (as the human Bella Swan), Robert Pattinson (as the vampire Edward Cullen) and Taylor Lautner (as the werewolf Jacob Black).
I’m more excited to see the cute Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen.
After being ranked as 57th on last year’s list, Manny Pacquiao is two notches higher on this year’s Forbes Celebrity 100 list at #55.
The Forbes magazine is one of the most famous business magazines in the world and is well-known for its lists. Its Celebrity 100 is its annual list of famous and financially influential celebrities in the field of entertainment and sports.
Talk-show host Oprah Winfrey regains the top position which she held for two consecutive years from 2007-2008 before being knocked-off last year by Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie who dropped to #18.
With its unorthodox take on the love triangle setup, the Twilight Saga by author Stephenie Meyer had captured the interest of many especially those of teenagers and young adults.
After all, its seldom that a human, a vampire and a werewolf get tangled up in the complexities of love.
And since its a romantic-fantasy love story, what endeared fans to the books and to the film adaptations are the cheesy lines uttered by the characters which bring in the “kilig” factor.
The 19th rendition of the greatest sporting event in the world, the World Cup officially named as the 2010 FIFA World Cup is being held in South Africa from June 11 – July 11, 2010.
It is the first time that the finals of the tournament have been staged in an African host nation. It’s now wonder then that the football matches are filled with the sounds of the vuvuzela and that the mascot is an animal native to South Africa, the leopard.
Meet Zakumi, the 2010 FIFA World Cup mascot.
Zakumi is a cheerful and sporty leopard with green hair, presented on 22 September 2008. His name comes from “ZA”, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for South Africa, and “kumi”, a word that means ten in several African languages, referencing the year 2010.
