Okay, so he's not really giving his wealth to himself, but a man in Portland believes he deserves some of Jordan's moo-lah because after all, the man does have a striking resemblance to Michael.  The man from Oregon, Allen Heckard, is suing both the Hoops' star and Nike founder Phil Knight.  Why, you might ask?  Because he is tried of having the comparisons to the greatest ball player of all time.

WHAT?

Mr. Heckard says that he is permanent injured-emotional pain and suffering.

WHAT?

I'm not too sure about all of you, but if someone approached me and told me I looked like Michael Jordan, I'd be ecstatic!  And I'm not even black!

Let's get to the financial business for a minute; the lawsuit would grant Allen a lump sum of $832 million dollars.  That's funny, I'm currently suing CNN $850 million for providing the news!

I have to say, earlier today I was watching that documentary "Super Size Me", where this gentleman eats McDonald's for 30 days straight and later analyzes what effect the food had on his body.  During that program, the man mentioned two women were suing McDonald's for making them fat.  The idiot eating all of the Mickey D's took to the streets and gathered various responses to the lawsuit.  A French woman referred to it as "The American Way", and personally, I felt disappointed at her answer.  Now I realize that it IS probably "The American Way", or the "Get-Rich-Quick" scheme.

The lawsuit against Jordan really opened my eyes.  It showed me 2 things-that people will try anything to get money and America is worse off than I thought.

On today's edition of The Greatest of All-Time, where we analyze the greatest sports players in history, I want to look at the Greatest players who never where.  In other words, I would like to seek out the Greatest players who never won a title in their respective sport.

To start off, the first person to come to mind is Dan "The Man" Marino.  Dan Marino has to be the best quarterback, maybe even the best football player, to never win a Super Bowl.  Here's a little of what Dan Marino did as Miami's greatest QB: 

Most Yards Passing, Career: 61,361
Most Touchdown Passes, Career: 420
Highest Pass Rating, Rookie Season: 96.0 in 1983

Selected to nine Pro Bowls (1983-87, 1991-92, 1994-95), including seven as a starter (1983-86, 1992, 1994-95).

Selected in 2005 to the NFL Hall of Fame

And this is only a very, very small percentage of Dan's success.

Another athlete that rings a bell to this topic is Sir Charles Barkley.  Barkley was one of the best forwards in the NBA, and he had everything a great player needed; the best aspect of Barkley was that he played with more passion than maybe everyone in the league today.  Charles truly appreciated the game he played.  Here's some highlights of Barkley's career:

MVP in 1992-1993 season

All-Rookie Team

1987-88 season-averaged 28.3 points a game; named to the All-NBA team for the first of four consecutive years.

Inducted into Hall of Fame as Player in 2006

Speaking of the NBA, I have to add John Stockton and Karl Malone to the list of greats without a title, but I know I'm missing plenty of sport greats and that's where you all come in.  Let's see some athletes who YOU believe deserves a mention in this thread.  Have fun.

Mark it on your calendar everybody.  May 20th, 2006 marks the day Barry Bonds hit his 714 homerun to tie the Babe.  In the days leading up to this event, there were many different reactions to how one might celebrate this historic event.  Some people were going give Bonds a standing ovation, others would have booed profoundly, and a few, or maybe more, wouldn't have cared.

I personally feel Barry Bonds doesn't deserve an ovation, or a party, or even recognition for overcoming such a monumental leap in MLB history.  Apparently I'm not the only one, either.  Phillies pitcher Cory Lidle had this to say,

"It's sad," Lidle says, "I'm not a player-hater. I like to see players get paid as much as they can. But without friggin' cheating."

Houston Pitcher Russ Springer showed his love for Barry as he nailed Bonds when he was at bat on Tuesday, and Springer was suspended for four games three days later.

Hello, and welcome to THE Sports Blog on Foxsports.  I'm your host, MiamiSports, but you can call me Pat, and I'll touch on all sorts of topics ranging from the NBA to NFL, so how about we start it with the NBA playoffs?

Last night, on May 19th, two different games were played; the Pistons trying to hold on to their playoff life as they played the Cavs, and the Spurs who tried to stretch their series against the Dallas Mavericks to game 7.  Today, I'll turn my attention to the game played in Quicken Loans Arena where the Pistons held on in a close one to win, 84-82.  The Spurs meanwhile, succeeded in taking game 6, 91-86.

So the Miami Heat wait and watch to see who they will have to face in the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Cleveland Cavaliers played host the Detroit Pistons as the Cavs tried to make it one step further.  Lebron James did what he could putting up 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists, but in the end, it came down to grabbing the loose ball.

In the last two minutes of play, The Pistons rumbled down court looking to play some outstanding offense, but who knew it would come down to Detroit playing their best defense?  Ben Wallace snatched one offensive rebound after another and eventually forced Cleveland to use their fouls just to get some offense going, but it didn't work.  After a missed basket by Wallace, Richard Hamilton came up with yet another Piston rebound, which only kept draining the clock and the Cavs hopes of winning.

In the last 12 seconds of the game, Lebron grabs his 11th rebound, and flies down court.  On a pass to Damon Jones, the officials call a foul on Detroit, and it sends Lebron to the foul line.  The score at that point was 84-81 with 1.4 seconds on the clock, and Lebron needed to work his magic.  He drains the first free throw and intentionally misses the second, only to see the ball bounce off the rim, catch the tip of Chauncey Billups' fingers, pop up, and come down short of the net.

Though Lebron played his best, it was not good enough as 4 different Pistons' had at least 15 points.  Detroit's' top scorer was Rasheed Wallace, who posted 24 points.  Rasheed was asked what the Pistons did different to win, and came out with a simple answer: "we just executed". 

Wallace, who is known for making guarantees, left the court somewhat speechless, but LeBron did remind everybody of one thing,

"we've proven doubters wrong, so it's time to prove some others wrong."

Game 7 should prove to be an exciting one as both teams are in a "win or go home" situation, but the only thing that'll matter at the end of the day will be who was victorious?  This is where I'd like to hear from all of you; do the Cavs stand a chance?  Can the Pistons play their game of basketball at home?  Your turn.
