NBA news: Kevin Durant becomes youngest player to win scoring title<\/strong><\/p>\nClap, clap, clap. Gotta hand it to Kevin Durant. After scoring 31 points last night, the Oklahoma City star eclipsed none other than LeBron James in the scoring race, finishing with 30.1 points per game. Durant, just 21 years old, passed 22-year-old Max Zaslofsky of the 1947-48 Chicago Stags to become the NBA\u2019s youngest-ever scoring champion.<\/p>\n
As we often see immediately after a regular season ends, winds of changes are blowing throughout the league already. The Philadelphia 76ers fired coach Eddie Jordan after just one season. Meanwhile, rumors are flying in Boston that Doc Rivers plans to leave the Celtics and possibly retire after the playoffs.<\/p>\n
The most surprising rumor of all: The Indiana Pacers have actually considered moving the franchise to a new city if the city itself doesn\u2019t agree to cover the cost to run Conseco Fieldhouse. Maybe it\u2019s time for Larry Bird to get involved again? With his wallet this time?<\/p>\n
NFL news: Brandon Marshall a Miami Dolphin<\/strong><\/p>\nBrandon Marshall finally got his wish. The big, physical receiver was shipped from the Denver Broncos to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a second-rounder in next week\u2019s draft and a second-rounder in 2011. Hint: don\u2019t draft Kyle Orton in your fantasy league next year. But watch for Chad Henne and the Dolphins as a whole to improve significantly. My sources indicate that Marshall may or may not have better hands than some guy named Ted Ginn Jr. <\/p>\n
Ben Roethlisberger update: Big Ben may not be out of the woods yet in NFL commissioner Roger Goodell\u2019s eyes. Gooddell claims that the NFL \u201cwill continue to gather more information\u201d on the accusations of sexual assault before deciding whether or not to discipline Roethlisberger.<\/p>\n
MLB news: Orlando Hudson hints at racism in free agency<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been a fun start to the regular season, with exciting debuts from guys like Jason Heyward, but talk of racism in free agency has made this week a downer \u2013 and just a day before Jackie Robinson Day, strangely enough. Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson pointed out that prominent black players like Jermaine Dye and Gary Sheffield, both of whom have plenty to offer a major-league club in his eyes, can\u2019t find a team right now. Hudson didn\u2019t specify the reason why but let us fill in the blanks when he said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe both know what it is. You\u2019ll get it right. You\u2019ll figure it out. I\u2019m not gonna say it because then I\u2019ll be in [trouble].\u201d<\/p>\n
