Self-Concious Manny Pacquiao Wears T-Shirt to Fight


LAS VEGAS, NV - Welterweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao bucked boxing tradition Wednesday when he opted to wear a t-shirt to his match versus Miguel Cotto.

"I don't know what he thinks he has to be ashamed of," Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach told reporters. "He has a terrific body."

When questioned, Pacquiao dismissed rumors of his new bashfulness. "No, you guys have got it all wrong. I just like this t-shirt."

Rumor: New York Knicks show interest in LeBron James?


NEW YORK, NY -- It is becoming apparent that New York Knicks GM Donnie Walsh is entertaining the idea of LeBron James in a blue and orange uniform in 2010.

"It would make sense for our franchise right now that we try to sign LeBron. I mean, if we had a player of that caliber on our team, we could really win some games," Walsh said when questioned about James' eligibility as a free agent in the upcoming offseason. "I'm not sure exactly how well he would fit into our system, or where we would put [Danilo] Gallinari, but I am definitely looking into the possibility of bringing him to New York City."

Other teams that have shown interest in last year's MVP include: the New Jersey Nets, the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Toronto Raptors, the Boston Celtics, the Orlando Magic, the Denver Nuggets, the Sacramento Kings, the New Orleans Hornets, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors, the Phoenix Suns, the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks, the Atlanta Hawks, the Washington Wizards, the Philadelphia 76'ers, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Indiana Pacers, the Utah jazz, the Portland Trailblazers, the Houston Rockets, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Charlotte Bobcats, the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
