TRACY MCGRADY BREAKS WRIST SIGNING ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH PISTONS Detroit, MI – Talent is always an important ingredient in greatness, no matter the field. Talent drives success and in turn helps to create greatness. Talent alone does not make a person great though. Hard work plays an essential role in any type of success but even that does not lead to greatness. Will and determination are essential, but that kind of success can only be achieved through a combination of factors, most of the controllable, but some, most notably luck, are either there or they are not. In sport that is especially true. BRAZILIAN SOCCER PLAYERS SEEKING PLASTIC SURGERY AFTER WORLD CUP OUSTER Johannesburg, South Africa – Soccer is without a doubt the most popular sport in the world. Many nations claim to be powers in the sport and indeed countries such as England, Italy, Germany, Argentina, and France have long dominated international competition. Still soccer is global sport as beloved by the people in the slums of Nairobi as those in the palaces of Paris. Still some nations have a greater claim to dominance and strength in the sport than others and at the top of that heap one country stands above all others, Brazil which sports the best international record in history.

SCOTTIE PIPPEN ASKS FOR DONATIONS IN HALL OF FAME SPEECH Springfield, IL – There are many great pairings in the history of sport but for one generation there is none greater than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Those two players led their team and the city of Chicago to six NBA championships in eight seasons and helped to bring the game to all new levels of popularity. Thought many have argued that the dup was driven by Jordan, perhaps the greatest player in the history of the game, it was in Pippen that he found a partner that helped drive him to even greater heights. GEORGE STEINBRENNER FIRES BILLY MARTIN IN HEAVEN Tampa, FL – There have always been stories of people who haven’t been able to get along yet somehow created magic when they did. Artists, politicians, inventors, and all other sorts of people have not only had success being partnered with a belligerent, but often thrived. Whether it is a result of the energy that anger creates or the natural creative symmetry that exists despite personal issues, such stories have fuelled some of the great partnerships and creative successes in history.
