The White Chocolate Controversy

Despite the Knicks claiming his rights initially, and rumors about a Memphis reunion, anybody who has followed Jason William's career over the last few years knew he would sign with the Magic eventually. In typical Otis fashion, Otis Smith stayed quiet while the rumors flew and closed the deal that both sides wanted. And now, with Jason Williams coming home to Florida, some eager bloggers in the blogosphere (what a word, by the way) are claiming a PG controversy on the horizon. Wow.

So Jason Williams has a ring, which is great. He has crazy ball skills, which ignite the fan base and can spark a team. And he's not afraid to pull up on the fast break 3, slash to the hole, or have the ball in his hands in big time situations. His skill set is comparable to Rafer Alston, maybe even better in his prime, and couple that with Jameer Nelson's reckless, injury prone style of play and J-Wil's ability to play starter's minutes, and it could be trouble, right? Plus, Jameer is much worse looking over his shoulder at a capable backup than with the pressure off with a guaranteed #2 like Anthony Johnson. So if J-Wil shines and Jameer struggles, what then?

Plaxico's Double Standard (the other one)

First off, I don't like Plax. Always thought he was too full of himself, didn't work hard enough. With his size and skill set, he could've been much, much better than he was, but he was satisfied to take what came easy to him. Plus, he's thugged out. It's not a secret, especially now, and all those factors added up to both the Steelers and the Giants giving up on him, although Plaxico made the Giant's decision a little easier.

Plax came to NY and the Giants won a Super Bowl, and he was a hero. Then, he got hurt the next year, and he was a goat. Wait, sorry, he didn't get hurt. He got shot. Well, he shot himself. By accident, of course, you'd have to be an idiot to shoot yourself on purpose. Then again, you'd have to be an idiot to bring an unlicensed gun out with you as a pro athlete. And carry it yourself. In your waistband. While wearing sweatpants. And then dancing.

That's right. I blog now. : CBSSports.com Blogs
