Several sources report that video game NBA 2K11 will the old school Michael Jordan (the 23 does not have the 45) on the cover. Here is the official rumor from ESPN.
I even heard whispers 2K is in negotiations with several players (both teammates and opponents) from the West time to appear in '2 K11 'to gamers and history buffs to help precisely recreate the heated competition between the classical and the Bulls of competitors as the Celtics, Cavaliers and Knicks. Since 2K to all former players ink individual contracts, it is still in the air that the company will be able to sign in time to appear in the game.

Sammy Sosa Avoid Perjury Probe of PED comments to Congress


Sammy Sosa Avoid Perjury Probe of PED comments to Congress:

Sammy Sosa will not face a perjury investigation for his comments to Congress about performance-enhancing drugs. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said Wednesday the panel has decided to waive the Justice Department investigate whether Sosa lied during a hearing in March 2005, when the long-time slugger said: "I've never illegal performance-enhancing drugs taken." Last June, the chairman of the committee said he would look into the matter after Sosa's name was reported to be on a list of baseball players who allegedly do not drug test in 2003. "After a review of the case, we will not take any action," committee spokeswoman Jenny Thalheimer said Rosenberg. Rosenberg had no further comment, but the committee may be influenced by a limitation period of five years in such cases perjury. Under that deadline, the deadline for an indictment was in March.Sosa therefore avoids the type of perjury investigation currently around Roger Clemens, who told Congress in 2008 that he had not used steroids or human growth hormone. Clemens' testimony was contradicted by his former personal trainer, and a grand jury is hearing testimony for more than one year as the decision whether to sue the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. Sosa, who hit 609 home runs over 18 major league seasons, was part of one of the most famous sports-related Congressional hearings on March 17, 2005, when he testified along with Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and Rafael Palmeiro. "Everything I've heard about steroids and human growth hormones that they are very bad for you, even lethal," Sosa said in testimony prepared for that day. "I would like dangerous things that never in my body." "To be clear," he added, "I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with something."
