ESPN's sports guru, Howie Schwab, gives me his take on professional basketball, football, baseball and golf.
The NBA is starting to heat up with the upcoming Finals. Who do you see making it to the championship game?
I think everyone wants to see LeBron versus Kobe , and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers look solid so far. I think they deserve to be the favorites at this point.
Dwayne Wade or LeBron James. Who is better and why?
LeBron rates a slight edge. Perhaps it is because of the supporting cast too. LeBron is better on the boards because of his size...both guys are outstanding. There are four guys who are above the rest -- LeBron , Wade, Kobe and Dwight Howard.
The NFL Draft is over. Who are some of the teams who did well and who didn't do so well?
I thought a number of teams did well. I liked the depth of Green Bay 's draft. Liked the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, and Cincinnati Bengals to name a few. Did not like the Oakland Raiders because they could have gotten their second-round choice at least three rounds later. I thought the Dallas Cowboys made a few questionable picks. You have to wait to truly evaluate how well a team does.
Baseball is in full swing. Who has been a surprise and who has been a disappointment?
Pittsburgh has been playing better than people thought. Tampa Bay is no longer the hunter and it is different to be the hunted.
Jerry Kelly won his first PGA tournament in seven years. How will he fare the rest of the way out?
He should be competitive in a couple of other tournaments. The PGA is still Tiger and everyone else, though Mickelson may disagree.
Is Brett Favre going to unretire again?
No shot.
