Leon "POW" -- Right in the kisser
Hoops and Other Pop Culture —
Celts win Game 2 because the Lakers inside are such pusses that they were simply overwhelmed by Leon Powe. Phil Jackson, continuing to plummet in my estimation (not as a coach, but as a human being) walks into the press conference last night and says, "I just can't believe that Leon Pow had more free throws than my entire team..........Is it "Powe"? I am sorry if I am mispronouncing his name...." Nice, Phil. Guy lit you up like a Christmas tree -- learn his name. Jackson then continued his escape from reality in the press conference when he was asked about Pau (not ...
POWE-ND
Bears Necessity —
So I just got back from Vegas, and despite all the money I’ve lost right now, I feel quite vindicated. While some of you doubters might have thought that the NBA Finals was the Powe-show, I don’t think any of you are doubting now.
Oh yeah. As we get ready for Game 3, it’s time to talk more Powe, all the time.
Here’s Leon’s story during the halftime show:

Doc Rivers Cost The Celtics Game 3
FanIQ Blog —
For anyone who watched last night's Lakers/Celtics game, it must have come as a shock that despite horrible performances by Pierce and KG, and the fact that the Lakers were getting a lot of calls, the Celtics actually had a real shot to win this game. In fact, the only reason LA won was because Boston managed to play (and be coached) slightly worse.
Game 3 was a golden opportunity for the Celtics to an insurmountable lead in the series, but it didn't happen. And the reason was pretty simple. Doc Rivers cost his team the game.
What's funny about this is Doc admittedly outcoached Phil for the most part in ...
Get to Know Leon Powe
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog —
Leon Powe was born on January 22, 1984 in Oakland, California. He attended Oakland Technical high school. This kid has had a rough life and has come through it a strong person and a gritty basketball player. By now, you probably know his story. His father bolted the family when Leon was two, ...
Celtics/Bulls Series Preview
SLAM Online —
By Russ Bengtson
In 1994, the eighth-seeded Denver Nuggets defeated the top-ranked Seattle Supersonics in the first round, shocking the world—not to mention the Sonics. It was one of the biggest upsets of all time, and remains the standard by which all playoff upsets are measured. During the regular season, the Sonics had won 21 more games than the Nuggets.
The 2009 Celtics and Bulls have regular-season records separated by the same number of games.
This is not to say a Bulls first-round victory would be anywhere near as shocking—after all, the Celtics aren’t coached by George Karl. It’s ...

Farewell, Leon
Boston Celtics Basketball - Celtics news, rumors and analysis - CelticsHub.com —
I really hope Leon Powe knows how much Celtics fans like him and will miss him. We all know why that is–the well-documented childhood difficulties, the never-ending series of knee injuries that seemed to happen right when he was turning a corner, and the way Leon responded to all of it by working even harder. He’s a bit of a cliche fan favorite, actually–the scrappy role player who overcomes personal and professional obstacles to contribute to a championship team.
But let’s talk about basketball. There was something that drew me to Leon Powe from the moment I saw him play: He’s ...

Videos of New Cav?
LeBrownsTown —
If Leon Powe had his way, he would be playing basketball in Cleveland next February. If Cavs fans get their way then Powe’s wishes will be granted. Here are a few videos that either feature Powe making a nice play on the court or express the difficult plight that he has faced off of it. With a long recovery still to come from a torn left ACL and meniscus, this first video should provide fans some encouragement. A significant knee injury is like a fifth trip to the buffet line for Charles Barkley: no problem.
Powe’s tough life and success story expressed on video: ...
