[Title] => Durant stays loyal to roots
[Summary] => NBA star forward Kevin Durant said the other day he’s found a new home in Oklahoma City where he plays for the Thunder but it doesn’t mean turning his back on where he came from. On his newly launched Nike signature shoe KD VI, he made it a point to acknowledge his roots by inscribing “Seat Pleasant’s Finest” at the tip of the shoe and “Big Chucky” in memory of his late Amateur Athletic Union coach Charles Craig at the heel.

[Title] => Half-Filipina diving legend dies
[Summary] => Vicki Manalo Draves would’ve been a shoo-in as an inductee at the Philippine Sports Hall of Fame enshrinement rites in the Manila Hotel recently if she only competed for the Philippines, not the US, at the 1948 London Olympics where the half-Filipina, half-English star became the first female to win two diving events in the same Olympics and the first Asian-American to hit paydirt in the Summer Games.

[Title] => Is James really a teenager?
[Summary] => For the record, Cleveland Cavaliers rookie LeBron James is 19 years old. He shares the same birthday as Tiger Woods—Dec. 30.
But there’s an interesting theory going around basketball circles that King James isn’t 19 but a few years older. The storyline is his stepfather Eddie Jackson, who’s known as a con artist, tinkered with James’ birth certificate to create the hype of a man-child superstar.
My buddy T. J. Manotoc says his father Tommy—a former Philippine Basketball Association grand slam coach–subscribes to the theory.

[Title] => Jackson says officiating no joke
[Summary] => NEW YORK CITY — There’s no more capable executive in the National Basketball Association (NBA) to manage its game-related operations than Stu Jackson.
