QUOTE: "I want to win a championship ring. The day I get that ring, I am going to hang it on a shoelace and tie it around my neck. Then I m going to get a pair of the sunglasses that Dwayne Wayne wore in the show "A Different World" and visit every state in the country on a moped wearing nothing but the ring, those sunglasses and a pair of Chuck Taylor's with the inscription "What Would Jesus Do?" written on the sides. I m serious!" |

| Description: | Leon Powe is the latest "trading deadline acquisition" by the Cleveland Cavs. Danny Ferry thinks outside the box and adds a mid-season replacement before the 2009-10 season even starts. Leon is recovering from successful microfracture surgery to repair his anterior cruciate ligament during the off-season and will not be available to play until mid season. But that is just in time for the late playoff run. He joins Shaquille O'Neal, anthony Parker and Jamario Moon as quality additions to a team that led the league in wins in 2009. 66 wins last year, and now we are significantly better. BACKGROUND: Leon Powe, Jr. (pronounced |ˈpou(-ə)|) (born January 22 1984 in Oakland, California) is an American professional basketball player. On August 11, 2009, Powe and the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association agreed in principle to a two-year deal. [edit] Personal life Powe grew up poor in Oakland, California. His father left him when he was two years old. When he was seven years old, the family's house burned down and they were homeless for years. They moved more than twenty times within six years. He and his siblings were taken away from their mother by the state of California and put into foster care. Powe's mother died four days before he played in the state championship.[1] His life was featured by ESPN in a segment during the 2008 NBA Finals. Powe has a one year old son named Leon Powe III. The son's nickname is LP3. [edit] High school career Powe attended Oakland Technical High School, where he averaged 27.4 ppg, 14.2 rpg and 3.1 bpg as a senior. With Powe in the roster, Oakland Tech was able to win the CIF Oakland Section Championship and also reach the CIF State Championships in 2002 and 2003. He was named a first-team Parade All-American and the Gatorade California Player of the Year during his senior year. A highly rated prep star, Powe was selected to play in the McDonald's All-American game and became the first Oakland Tech athlete to have his number retired by the school.[2] [edit] College career Powe played his college basketball for the California Golden Bears from 2003–2006. Although he was present for 4 seasons, he did not play in his sophomore year due to a serious knee injury. During his freshman season, he earned the PAC-10 freshman of the year, leading the conference in rebounding. Questions abounded about whether Powe would be able to return to form following his knee surgery but he worked hard and rehabilitated to become a dominant force on the interior as he continued to improve his game. He produced 20.5 PPG and 10.1 RPG while leading Cal to a 20–11 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Powe was named California's most valuable player during a banquet in April 2006. Powe, who also was selected Cal's MVP as a freshman in 2004, averaged 20.5 ppg and 10.1 rpg to become just the sixth player ever to pace the conference in both categories. Named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press, the U.S. Basketball Writers and ESPN.com, he was chosen to the All-Pac-10 team for a second time in 2006. [edit] Professional career After his junior year, Powe decided to enter his name in the 2006 NBA Draft. Powe was selected by the Denver Nuggets in the second round as the 49th overall pick. The Nuggets subsequently traded him to the Boston Celtics. After playing for the Celtics summer league team, Powe was signed by the team to a 3 year contract. Although Powe did not reach the sum of 14 in his per game points, rebounds, and assists necessary to guarantee the second year of his contract, that second year became guaranteed when Boston did not waive him by July 1, 2007. Powe has a similar hurdle of 16 for the sum of the three statistics to guarantee the third year of his contract (2008–09).[3][4] [edit] 2006–07 NBA season Powe played as a fourth string center behind Kendrick Perkins, Brian Scalabrine, and Michael Olowokandi in his rookie season. After a rash of injuries submarined Boston's playoff chances, Powe received a limited opportunity to showcase his skills. He proved himself a capable defender who can alter shots and provide interior rebounding. On January 12, 2007, Powe made the most out of his 25 minutes and registered a career-high 12 rebounds against the Toronto Raptors. On April 10, 2007, he scored 19 points against the Atlanta Hawks. Powe finished the 2006–07 campaign averaging 4.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in just over 11 minutes per game. [edit] 2007–08 NBA season Powe shoots a free throw in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks.On January 29, 2008, Powe had a breakout performance that took place in Miami against the struggling Heat, as he effectively filled in the blank of the absent main contributors Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds en route to a 117–87 blowout victory.[5] He also scored his career-high 27 points in the last game of the season against the New Jersey Nets on April 16, 2008.[6] One of his most notable performances of the season came in Game 2 of the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers on June 8, 2008, as he scored 21 points, which included several dunks, in only 15 minutes of play in front of a crowd chanting his name[7] en route to a 108–102 Celtics victory.[8][9][10] Powe during the 2008 Boston Celtics championship parade. [edit] 2008–09 NBA season On March 13, 2009, Powe started in place of the injured Kevin Garnett, scoring a career-high 30 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking a career-high 5 shots, in a 102–92 Celtics victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.[11] Powe spent the end of the season attempting to recover from a right knee strain. He returned in time for the playoffs, only to tear the ACL and meniscus in his left knee in Game 2 of the first round against the Chicago Bulls. Powe continued to play on the torn ACL for three minutes before being taken out. Powe's season ended with the knee injury, and had successful surgery to repair the injury on May 5, 2009.[12] On August 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers offered Powe an offer sheet worth two-year, $1.8 million.[13] On August 11, 2009, Powe and the Cavaliers agreed in principle to the deal with an option on the second year.[14] [edit] Career transactions June 28, 2006: Drafted 49th overall by Denver Nuggets in 2006 NBA Draft. June 28, 2006: Traded by Denver to the Boston Celtics for a future second-round draft pick.[15] [edit] NBA career statistics Legend GP Games played GS Games started MPG Minutes per game FG% Field-goal percentage 3P% 3-point field-goal percentage FT% Free-throw percentage RPG Rebounds per game APG Assists per game SPG Steals per game BPG Blocks per game PPG Points per game Bold Career high [edit] Regular season Year Team GP GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% RPG APG SPG BPG PPG 2006–07 Boston 63 2 11.4 .446 .000 .736 3.4 .2 .2 .3 4.2 2007–08 Boston 56 5 14.4 .572 .000 .710 4.1 .3 .3 .3 7.9 2008–09 Boston 70 7 17.5 .524 .000 .689 4.9 .7 .3 .5 7.7 Career 189 14 14.6 .523 .000 .707 4.2 .4 .3 .4 6.6 [edit] Playoffs Year Team GP GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% RPG APG SPG BPG PPG 2007–08 Boston 23 1 11.7 .493 .000 .667 2.7 .2 .0 .1 5.0 2008–09 Boston 2 0 12.0 .429 .000 .667 4.5 .0 .0 .0 5.0 Career 25 1 11.8 .488 .000 .667 2.8 .2 .0 .1 5.0 [edit] References ^ East Bay Express : Print This Story ^ Player Bio: Leon Powe :: Men's Basketball ^ http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/sports/colleges/cal/15071722.htm ^ B |

| Description: | One of the most physically dominating presences in the history of the NBA joins the Cavs. Welcome Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq knows HOW to win. He will teach the Cavs HOW. Together, we will WITNESS History -- our 1st NBA Championships. And the 1st under Shaq's "WATCH." Shaquille O'Neal Bio: Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal, born March 6, 1972, is an NBA Center for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has appeared in 1117 regular season games and has made 1108 starts in his 17-year NBA career. He has averaged 24.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks, 0.60 steals and 35.7 minutes while shooting 58.2 percent from the field and 52.8 percent from the foul line. Shaq was voted one of the 50 Greatest Players of all time. Before becoming a Cavalier, O'Neal played for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Phoenix Suns. While on the Suns, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ben Wallace, "Sasha" Pavlović, a 2010 second-round draft pick, and cash. Shaq has been voted to a record-tying 14 NBA All-Star Games. That streak ended in 2008. He was voted to the West All-Star Squad once again in 2009. Shaq led Cole High School of San Antonio to a 68-1 record during his prep career, highlighted by a 36-0 mark and Class AAA state title his senior year. In that year, he recorded 791 rebounds, which remains the state record for any player in any one year. O'Neal played three years at for the LSU Tigers (1990-92) before leaving after his junior year as an early entry NBA candidate. In his years at LSU, he recorded career averages of 21.6 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 30.5 minutes in 90 games. While at LSU, O'Neal was a two-time All-American, two-time SEC player of the year. He also holds the NCAA record for blocked shots in a game with 17 blocks against Mississippi State on December 3, 1990. He was named college basketball’s Player of the Year by The Associated Press, following his sophomore year, when he averaged 27.6 points and an NCAA-leading 14.7 rebounds. Although O'Neal left LSU early to pursue his NBA career, he returned to school in 2000 and received a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. He was later inducted into the LSU Hall of Fame. NBA career: O'Neal was drafted as the 1st overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic. O'Neal was named the 1993 NBA Rookie of the Year. In his second season, O'Neal teamed with newly-drafted Penny Hardaway, averaged 29.4 points and led the NBA in field goal percentage at 60%. He was also voted into another All-Star game and helped the Magic make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, where they were swept in the first round by the [[Indiana Pacers]]. On November 20, 1993, against the [[New Jersey Nets]], O'Neal registered the first triple-double of his career, recording 24 points to go along with career highs of 28 rebounds and 15 blocks. He also made the All-NBA 3rd Team. In the summer of 1995, O'Neal was named to the United States Olympic basketball team, and was part of the gold medal-winning team at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Los Angeles Lakers After the 1995–96 season, it was announced that O'Neal would join the Los Angeles Lakers on a seven-year, $121 million contract. With the tandem of O'Neal and teenage superstar Kobe Bryant, expectations of Lakers increased. However, personnel changes was a source of instability during the 1998–99 season In 1999, the Lakers hired Phil Jackson as their new head coach, and the team's fortunes soon changed. Utilizing Jackson's triangle offense, O'Neal and Bryant went on to enjoy tremendous success on the court, as they led the Los Angeles Lakers to three consecutive NBA titles (2000, 2001, 2002). O'Neal was named MVP of the NBA Finals all three times and has the highest scoring average for a center in NBA Finals history. O'Neal was also voted the 1999–2000 regular season Most Valuable Player. O'Neal won the scoring title that year while finishing second in rebounds and third in blocked shots. Jackson's influence resulted in a newfound commitment by O'Neal to defense, resulting in his first All-Defensive Team selection (second-team) in 2000. According to the book Madmen's Ball by Mark Heisler, the Lakers did eventually offer O'Neal a large contract in February 2004 under which he would have unquestionably continued to remain the highest paid player in the league. However, he reportedly refused after feeling his services were not needed. After the Lakers' loss to the Detroit Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals, O'Neal was angered by comments made by Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchek, as well as by the departure of Lakers coach Phil Jackson. O'Neal made comments indicating that he felt the team's decisions were centered on a desire to appease Bryant to the exclusion of all other concerns, and O'Neal promptly demanded a trade. Miami showed interest and gradually a trade agreement was made. Miami Heat Upon signing with the Heat, O'Neal promised the fans that he would bring a championship to Miami. He claimed that one of the main reasons for wanting to be traded to Miami was because of their up-and-coming star, Dwyane Wade. With O'Neal on board, the new-look Heat surpassed expectations, claiming the best record in the Eastern Conference. He averaged 22.9 ppg and 10.2 rpg, made his 12th consecutive All-Star Team, and made the All-NBA 1st Team. Despite being hobbled by a deep thigh bruise, O'Neal led the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals and a Game 7 against the defending champion Detroit Pistons, losing by a narrow margin. He also narrowly lost the 2004–05 MVP Award to Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash in one of the closest votes in NBA history. In August 2005, O'Neal signed a 5-year-extension with the Heat for $100 million. Supporters applauded O'Neal's willingness to take what amounted to a pay cut and the Heat's decision to secure O'Neal's services for the long term. They contended that O'Neal was worth more than $20 million per year, particularly given that considerably less valuable players earn almost the same amount. Critics, however, questioned the wisdom of the move, characterizing it as overpaying an aging and often injured player. In 2005–06, O'Neal finished the season as the league leader in field goal percentage; he joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only two players in league history to lead the league in field goal percentage nine times. In the 2006 NBA Playoffs, the Miami Heat would go on to win their first NBA Championship. Led by both O'Neal and eventual NBA Finals MVP Dwyane Wade, the 2nd seeded Heat defeated the defending Eastern Conference Champion and top-seeded Detroit Pistons in a rematch of the 2005 Conference Finals, and then defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Finals. O'Neal put up considerably lower numbers compared to those he recorded during the 2005–06 regular season, but he twice delivered dominant games in order to close out a playoff series: a 30-point, 20-rebound effort in Game 6 against the Chicago Bulls in the first round, and a 28-point, 16-rebound, 5-block effort in Game 6 against the Pistons. It was O'Neal's fourth NBA title in seven seasons, and fulfilled his promise of delivering an NBA championship to Miami. At the victory celebration O'Neal declared another championship was on the way, saying, "We will see you again next year!" In the 2006–07 season O'Neal reached 25,000 career points, becoming the 14th player in NBA history to accomplish that milestone. Phoenix Suns In the 2008–09 season O'Neal averaged 18 pt |
