Report: Bobcats sign Kwame Brown
Basketball Betting Lines
08/24/2010 -
Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats have reportedly
reunited former No. 1 pick Kwame Brown and new team owner Michael Jordan.
The Charlotte Observer reports the Bobcats have brought in Brown on a one-
year, $1.3 million contract. Jordan, then part owner and president of
basketball operations for the Washington Wizards, made Brown the No. 1 pick in
2001 as the first high school player ever taken with the first selection.
Brown's career quickly spiraled into disappointment with the 10th-year pro
never topping a 10.9-point and 7.4-rebound output in 2003-04. He went on to
play for the Lakers and Grizzlies after four mediocre years in Washington and
is coming off a two-year stint with the Pistons.
The 6-foot-11 center averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 48 games last
season, almost primarily as a reserve. He started 30 of 58 games for Detroit a
year earlier, but managed only 4.2 points and 5.0 boards.
In 510 career games, including 217 starts, Brown has posted 6.7 points and 5.4
rebounds per game.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
