Whoa!  The sports world is going crazy right now!  So much going on and it is all too exciting to miss.  To catch up with the sports world I have harnessed all the major news/results from the recent events.  I am going to briefly hit on each sport and give a few predictions for the Masters, MLB, NBA, and NHL.  Ready?  Lets go!

NHL

Seems like the season just started but it will shortly be coming to an end.  But I guess that's what happens when you are in a shortened and compressed 46 game season.  Thanks lockout.  The story early on in the season was the winning streak by the Chicago Blackhawks and then both the Anaheim Ducks and Pittsburgh Penguins went on their own winning streaks.  Although no one has matched a start like the Blackhawks, it seemed for a while like the Penguins might be the best team.  Now that Crosby is out the battle for best appears to be between the Ducks and Blackhawks.

This week the NBA regular season began with several early season marquis match-ups.  It is a little too early for much meaning to come from these games but the bottom line is the NBA has returned.  It is becoming increasingly more obvious that there will be no NHL season so the NBA will have the undivided attention of most sports fans.  Of course the NFL is only half done but NBA doesn't really interfere with football.  Which is perfect for a sports nut like myself.

So let me welcome back the NBA with brief guide to the 2013 regular season.  There is a lot oh hype going around several teams this year and I'm here to clear up a few things and let you know the real story when it comes to NBA basketball in 2012-13.  Follow the bullet points to all the answers for your upcoming NBA season.

• The OKC Thunder trade was necessary and will help them in the long run
• James Harden will produce but the Rockets will not
• The Lakers will not win the West or make it to the Finals
• Steve Nash will average less then 9 assists per game
• At least 1 Star will be traded this season (LaMarcus Aldridge?)
• Derrick Rose should not play this year
• The new All-Star Game voting is unfair
• San Antonio will defy age yet again with another #1 seed
• Kevin Durant will win 4th straight scoring title
• Miami Heat will go back-to-back
• Knicks will fire their head coach again
• Anthony Davis will win ROY
• Tom Thibodeau will scream a lot
• LeBron James wins MVP #4

This season is sure to be full of excitement and drama.  The good news is we won't have to listen to Dwight Howard drama all season long.  Or will we??  I sure hope not.  He did already mention that he wishes the trade to the Nets would have worked out.  Really Dwight?  Just be quiet.  In the end I think he will happily stay in Los Angeles.  Big market, big money, and lots of history.  Lets just hope the Lakers don't tank and bring up Howard drama 2.0.

Just when it seemed like the NBA season was lost the players and owners came to an agreement on a new CBA.  Both sides of this battle took a stand at several points during the negotiations over the last few months.  In the beginning both sides were asking way too much and by the end of it the owners wound up compromising the most.  In the new deal the players will still receive over half the money.  With many teams struggling financially, something had to be done with the money and salary distribution.  For now everyone is happy but it will take some time to discover whether or not enough changes were made to the old CBA to ensure economic stability in the NBA.

For the past several years I've been on my own version of a Legends of Music Concert Tour. My goal: to see as many living legendary entertainers as I can while they are still performing. Now I am ready to start my Legends of Sports Tour. I want to see the best players play their game before they retire and become a permanent part of ESPN Classic programming.

So today I have assembled my Top 5 List for my personal Legends of Sports Tour:

1. Brett Favre. Even as a life-long Chicago resident and Bears fan I can't resist watching this guy play. Maybe you've found yourself like me, becoming fascinated with whether or not he will get up every time he gets knocked down. One Super Bowl ring doesn't seem to be enough for him. I think we all admire his drive and passion for the game but his career can't go on forever.

2. Shaquille O'Neal. I can still remember when Shaq came into the NBA in 1992 - geez that was 18 years ago already! Back then I couldn't stand him. Remember Hack-a-Shaq? That was when

The 2010-2011 Bulls will be an exciting team to watch this season. With Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and the addition of Carlos Boozer, the Bulls have a shot on winning the division for the first time since 1998.
