Which midmajor alum will have the greatest impact in the NBA?
Weekly Welcome
Welcome to the Blog,
Michael Bloomberg
You made headlines when you and nycgo.com teamed up to produce "C'mon, LeBron," a video pleading the Free Agent-to-be to sign with either the Knicks or Nets. Desperate or not, it certainly has added to the already out of proportion media swarm surrounding his big decision this summer.
The video, which shows many famous sights in New York, comes after President Obama made his case for the Bulls. Something tells me that Russian Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov just wouldn't have the same charm had Bloomberg been unavailable.

GVR Archive: Best NCAA Players You've Never Heard of
Lester Hudson
(G, UT-Martin)
The 6-2 Memphis native conquered academic struggles to earn a spot on the Ohio Valley Conference squad, and now routinely draws pro scouts to games. Despite his gaudy scoring average, which ranks second in the nation behind Davidson phenom Stephen Curry, Hudson is far from one-dimensional. His impact on the team is evidenced by the Skyhawks' current tear in which they have won 14 of 15.
Key stats: 27.7 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 2.6 spg
(G, Cal State-Fullerton)
Akognon averaged 10.3 points per game coming off the bench in his sophomore season at Washington State but transferred in hopes of finding more playing time. After sitting out a season, per NCAA rules, he lead the Titans to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 30 years with a 24-9 record, earning MVP honors in the Big West Tournament.
Key stats: 23.5 ppg, .906 FT%, 3.4 rpg
(C, Santa Clara)
The 6-10, 305 pound center has taken his game to a new level this season after three solid years at Steve Nash's alma mater. He leads all Division I players in rebounds with 347 and has lead the Broncos to six straight wins in the competitive West Coast Conference. Shot 8-11 from the floor on his way to 21 points and 15 rebounds in the team's recent upset over Saint Mary's.
Key stats: 17.5 ppg, 13.8 rpg, 2.7 bpg, .603 FG%
(F, St. Joseph's)
The steady veteran is overshadowed in the Atlantic 10 by Temple's Dionte Christmas but deserves equal recognition. Nivins cleans up on the glass and scores a very efficient 19.6 points per game for head coach Phil Martelli. Most telling skill: good shot selection, proven by his eye-popping field goal percentage of .656.
Key stats: 19.6 ppg, 11.8 rpg, 2.1 bpg, .656 FG%
(Stats as of 2/9/09)
