Whoever thinks famous athletes have special treatment, will be surprised by the Orlando Magic. The team is without a hotel in Indianopolis when the Magic are in town to play the Indiana Pacers during Super Bowl weekend.
Being from a popular tourist destination like Orlando, one would think the team personnel would know to plan in advance for hotel accommodations…. but the late release of the NBA schedule because of the lockout left the team with little options.
NBA officials denied the Magic’s request to fly into Indianapolis on the morning of the game for fear of bad weather or mechanical complications. Instead, the team will stay in nearby Cincinnati, allowing the team to also have the option of driving to the game.
“You guys can comment on that and save me my money,” Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy told reporters, “But when you come out with the schedule in December and have a game in the Super Bowl city, lodging might be a problem.”
In a case of mistaken identity, Carlos Boozer’s son is seen cheering for the Miami Heat during yesterday’s Chicago Bulls-Heat matchup. Boozer has faced his fair share of criticism for lack of defensive and inconsistent play, and apparently his son agrees.
Megatron was named to the Pro Bowl team, but a sore achillies heal will keep him out of the game. Instead, Johnson has flown Nate Burleson, Stefan Logan, Maurice Stovall and practice-squad receivers Marcus Harris, Nate Hughes out to Hawaii via private jet.
The man largely responisble for the Lions’ turnaround is in the last year of his rookie contract. Detroit’s new contract is expected to make Johnson the highest paid wide reciver in the league, which hopefully means more trips to Hawaii for Burleson and others.
