O'Neal ready to "Win a ring for The King"Basketball Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shaquille O'Neal met the media Thursday in Cleveland, a week after he was traded to the Cavaliers from the Phoenix Suns, and unveiled a new motto in his attempt to capture another NBA title. "Win a ring for The King," O'Neal said in reference to his new pairing with reigning MVP LeBron James. O'Neal has captured four NBA titles -- three with the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant and one with the Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade. He appeared intent on winning another with a different NBA superstar by his side. "They say things happen in threes," O'Neal remarked. "I won with Kobe and with the great Dwyane Wade." O'Neal, however, couldn't get it done with Steve Nash and the Suns, who sent the 15-time All-Star to Cleveland in exchange for center Ben Wallace, guard Sasha Pavlovic, Cleveland's second-round pick in the 2010 NBA Draft and cash considerations. In the last year of his contract, O'Neal is not the dominant force he once was from earlier in his career, when he won the MVP Award in 2000 and was the NBA Finals MVP in each of his three title runs with the Lakers from 2000-02. However, the 37-year-old showed signs of rejuvenation last year, putting up 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds in 75 games for the Suns, who just missed out on the postseason. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, were unable to reach the NBA Finals after posting the best record in the regular season at 66-16. They were eliminated by the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals. "I'm not going to do it by myself, LeBron's not going to do it by himself," O'Neal stated. "It takes a team, an organization. "I'm just here to do my part and help a damn good team get over the hump. It's LeBron's team. I'm here. He's the captain. I'm here to protect The King." Over his illustrious 17-year career with Orlando, LA, Miami and Phoenix, O'Neal has logged 24.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, to go along with accolades such as: the 1992-93 NBA Rookie of the Year and two scoring titles.

Football Sports Lines: Offensive Rookie of the Year AwardsThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
