Zion Babb, DuShine Smith, and now Ezra Broadus? The junior-to-be is expected to be a serious factor in the Moors backfield this coming season.<\/p>\n<p>Last Note Magic: Magic played with two Hall of Famers Kareem and Worthy&#8230;but without Magic is Worthy a Hall of Famer? And without Magic Kareem\u2019s career runs out after 15 seasons not 20.<\/p>\n<p>Really Last Note Magic: Rookie year, Game Six, in Philadelphia, no Kareem, no Worthy: 42-15-7&#8230; And if you don\u2019t know what 42-15-7 mean, then you don\u2019t know a thing about basketball&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Cantu, Andrew Buenrostro&#8230;yeah, those guys are good quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Really Really Last Add Cowherd: The only thing missing in his persistent defense of Lebron is him saying; \u201cFor King James it\u2019s all about the love. Coming out of the darkness into the sunlight of enlightenment&#8230;Feeling You!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all that said I wouldn\u2019t mind seeing Dwyane Wade get a second ring&#8230;That dude is great.<\/p>\n<p>And with everything said in this column today&#8230;It is all possible because of men like those who hit the beaches of Normandy on this day 67 years ago&#8230;God Bless them, their families, and all those that came after them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Dude abides&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>408<\/p>\n<p>Fanview Lite appears most days Monday through Saturday<\/p>\n<p>Contact Joe at\u00a0 joe@midvalleysports.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning!
