Shane Battier doesn't exactly give Miami a Big Four, although when the rugged free-agent forward signed

Shane Battier doesn't exactly give Miami a Big Four, although when the rugged free-agent forward signed with the Heat it removed some defensive pressure from LeBron James.

"Now LeBron doesn't have to take the best player on the opposite team anymore," Johnson said.

The free-agent winners also included a handful of former Bruins and Trojans.

Jason Kapono, a former UCLA sharpshooter, latched onto the Lakers, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Gabe Pruitt, a former USC guard, signed with Orlando three years after his flameout with the Boston Celtics landed him in NBA purgatory. His most recent stop was with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the Development League.

Washington swingman Nick Young, whose turnaround jump shots once made the Trojans a winner, reversed course and re-signed with the Wizards after holding out early in training camp.

There are more moves to come. If your team's Christmas wishes don't come true, blame it on Stern or the nearest Kardashian.

"I am curious as to how I am the cause for any trade? LOL," Khloe Kardashian tweeted after her hubby Lamar was sent to Dallas. "Some people just say anything behind their computer screens."

If you have recently sent a son or daughter off to college

If you have recently sent a son or daughter off to college, it is critically important that you have a signed Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPOA) in place. This document is important because once your child turns 18, they are legally recognized as an adult and the colleges they are attending generally cannot share medical information with you.
It is not that the colleges don't want to share information, but under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a patient's health information must be kept private once the patient is recognized as an adult. And this privacy extends to the parents of the student. So, if your child becomes ill at school, you might not be able to get any information on their health status.
To avoid this situation, you should have a properly executed HCPOA in place. This form will allow you to make medical decisions for your child. Your attorney can draft this form for you or you can look for a form on line. If your child is attending a school in another state, be sure to use the form for that state. It is also a good idea to have a HIPAA release form in place as well.

The “Neon J-Pack” isn’t the only famed SB Dunk design that’s finally

The "Neon J-Pack" isn't the only famed SB Dunk design that's finally going to see a retail release after floating around as a sample for a couple of years. The Nike SB Dunk Low "Loon" that originally leaked in photos back in 2006 and became a must-have on the list of many Dunk collectors is also hitting the scene. The obvious elements here which really bring out what what the shoes represent are the white speckles covering the suede panels, a detail which ties into unique feathers of a Loon. If you've been waiting 4-years to get your hands on these now's your chance. In fact, they're available now at select Nike SB retailers, including Premier. Honoring Minnesota's state bird, the Loon, the sneakers feature a combination of White leather and Black suede throughout the base with accents of Green on the leather Swoosh and rubber outsole. Visit your local Nike SB retailer to check on availability or hit up Premier to grab a pair now
