2008 NBA Draft: No.2 - Michael Beasley The Miami Heat select Michael Beasley No. 2 in the 2008 NBA Draft. Beasley spent one year playing for Kansas State before declaring for the NBA Draft as an early entry candidate. He was named National Freshman of the Year by The Sporting News and the USBWA and received the Pete Newell Big Man of the Year award from the NABC. He also earned unanimous First Team All-American honors from the Associated Press, NABC, The Sporting News and the USBWA and was named to the Wooden Award All-America Team. He was also named Big 12 Player of the Year by the Associated Press and the league coaches and was a unanimous First Team All-Conference and All-Rookie Team Selection. During his lone season at Kansas State, Beasley led the NCAA Division I in rebounding (12.4 rpg) and ranked third in scoring (26.2 ppg). He led the nation in 40-point games (three), 30-point/10-rebound games (13), and 20-point/10-rebound games (22). He also posted a nation-leading 28 double-doubles, breaking the freshman mark previously held by Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony. He set new single-season school records in points (866), scoring average (26.2), 30-point games (13), double-doubles (28), rebounds (408), field goals made (307) and free throws made (216). Beasley was a member of the USA Junior National Select Team that defeated the World Select Team at the 2007 Nike Hoop Summit, as well as a member of the silver medal-winning United States team at the 2007 FIBA World Championship for Men, and the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the 2006 FIBA Americas UI8 Championship for Men. Beasley was born in Frederick, MD and attended Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, MA. While in high school, he was named Most Valuable Player of the 2007 McDonald's All-American Game, and also earned MVP honors at the Adidas Derby Festival Classic. As a senior, he earned USA Today All-USA High School Boys Basketball Second Team honors. Tags: NBA Draft 2008 Michael Beasley Miami Heat future rookie |

2008 NBA Draft: No.1 - Derrick Rose The Chicago Bulls select Derrick Rose No. 1 in the 2008 NBA Draft, a 6-3, 190-pound point guard out of the University of Memphis. Rose posted averages of 14.9 points, 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game as a freshman and led Memphis to the NCAA National Championship game. He appeared in all 40 games for the Tigers, who went 38-2 and set an NCAA men's basketball record for wins in a season. "In this league, point guards are really hard to find," Bulls EVP of Basketball Operations John Paxson said after making the pick. "He's got a strength about him that most guards don't have in this league at that position. He's got a great burst and he's very fast with the ball. I think he's going to make other players better, and I think he'll give us some leadership abilities as he goes on that we really need. For us, it was the right pick." Rose visited the Bulls for a private workout on June 19—two days after Michael Beasley was in town—and wasn't shy about his desire to play for his hometown team. "I think back to all the times people have told me I was good enough to play for the Bulls, and now it could come true," Rose told Bulls.com last week. "I'd love to play here. I know the whole city would be behind me and it's such a great sports city. The Bulls have a lot of talent and they're young, too. I think if I'm lucky enough to come to this team, we'll do some damage." Rose attended Simeon Career Academy High School in Chicago, where he helped the school become the first Chicago Public League team to win back-to-back state titles in Illinois prep history. His teams went 120-12 (.909) during his four years at Simeon. A rare combination of speed, elite athleticism and poise at the point guard position, Rose emerged as a candidate to be the NBA Draft's top pick during a remarkable postseason run, in which he averaged 20.8 points, 6.0 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game. "I'm just an extremely competitive person," said Rose, a member of the 2008 NCAA Tournament All-Final Four Team. "Everyone was saying I was too young or that another player was going to get the best of me because they were older, but age doesn't always matter. It's about being the better player. I just wanted to prove people wrong and show that I was the best player on the court." Rose is the second No. 1 overall pick in franchise history (Elton Brand, 1999) and he is just the third guard to be selected No. 1 overall in the NBA in the last 30 drafts (Magic Johnson, 1979; Allen Iverson, 1996). The Bulls later traded Sonny Weems (selected with the 39th pick) to the Denver Nuggets for Denver's 2009 regular second round Draft pick. The Bulls then acquired Omer Asik from the Portland Trail Blazers (selected with the 36th pick) for Denver's 2009 regular second round Draft pick, New York's 2009 regular second round Draft pick, and the Bulls 2010 regular second round Draft pick.

Lakers-Celtics 92-131 Gm6 Finals08[Bryant 22pts vs KG 26pts] BOSTON, June 17, 2008 (AP) -- With Russell and Havlicek sitting courtside, and Red surely lighting up a victory cigar somewhere, these Boston Celtics returned to glory like the great teams before them. Dominant in every way. On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners hung in the rafters two decades back, the Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one - at last - for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen - their Big Three for a new generation. After 22 long years, the NBA has gone green. Lifted by ear-splitting chants of "Beat L.A.'' early and cries of "Seven-teen'' in the closing seconds by their adoring crowd, the Celtics concluded a shocking rebound of a season with a stunning 131-92 blowout over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 on Tuesday night. "It means so much more because these are the guys, the Havliceks, the Bill Russells, the Cousys,'' Pierce said. "These guys started what's going on with those banners. They don't hang up any other banners but championship ones. "And now I'm a part of it.'' With the outcome assured, Boston fans sang into the night as if they were in a pub on nearby Canal Street. They serenaded the newest champs in this city of champs, and taunted Kobe Bryant and his Lakers, who drowned in a green-and-white wave for 48 minutes. Garnett scored 26 points with 14 rebounds, Allen scored 26 and Pierce, The Finals MVP who shook off a sprained right knee sustained in Game 1, added 17 as the Celtics, a 24-win team a year ago, wrapped up their first title since 1986. Rajon Rondo had 21 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals as the Celtics, who built a 23-point halftime lead and obliterated the Lakers, who were trying to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in The Finals. They didn't stand a chance. Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher; the Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5 of the 1965 NBA Finals. In the final minute, Pierce doused Celtics coach Doc Rivers with red Gatorade. Owner Wyc Grousbeck, who named his group Banner 17 to leave no doubt about his goal, put an unlit cigar in his mouth - a tribute to Auerbach, the patriarch who had a hand in the franchise's first 16 titles. Garnett dropped to the parquet and kissed the leprechaun at center court and then found Russell, the Hall of Famer who taught him the Celtic way, for a long embrace. "I got my own. I got my own,'' Garnett said. "I hope we made you proud.'' "You sure did,'' Russell said. Rivers pulled Pierce, Garnett and Allen with 4:01 left and they shared a group hug with their coach, who was nearly run out of town last season. Rivers lost his father at the beginning of this remarkable run, a season no one expected. By the time Rivers was handed the Larry O'Brien Trophy, it was June 18 - his late father's birthday. When the game clock reached zeros, Rivers reflected on his dad. "My first thought was what would my dad say,'' Rivers said, "and honestly I started laughing because I thought he would probably say, if you knew my dad, `It's about time. What have you been waiting for?''' It's was Boston's first title since the passing of Auerbach, whose presence was the only thing missing on this night. Even Auerbach, who died in 2006, got some satisfaction. Led by Rivers, Auerbach's beloved team denied Lakers coach Phil Jackson from overtaking him with a 10th championship. The Boston-Los Angeles rivalry, nothing more than black-and-white footage from the 60s and TV highlights of players wearing short shorts in the 80s to young hoops fans, remains tilted toward the Atlantic Ocean. The Celtics are 9-2 against the Lakers in the finals. Boston missed its first crack at closing out the series in Game 5, but the Celtics didn't miss on their second swing, running the Lakers out of the gym. Bryant, the regular season MVP, finished with 22 points on 7-of-22 shooting. He started 4-of-5 from the field and seemed intent on forcing a Game 7. But he missed seven shots in a row and everywhere he went, L.A.'s No. 24 ran smack into a wall of Boston defense as high as the Green Monster. "They were definitely the best defense I've seen the entire playoffs,'' Bryant said. "I've seen some pretty stiff ones and this was right up there with them. The goal was to win a championship, it wasn't to win MVP or anything like that, it was to win a championship.'' Garnett and Allen were All-Stars in other cities, stuck in Minnesota and Seattle, respectively, on teams going nowhere. But brought together in trades last summer by Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, a member of the '86 Celtics champions, they joined Pierce and formed an unbreakable bond, a trio as tight as the club's lucky shamrock logo. They resisted being called The Big Three, a nickname given to Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish two decades ago.
