The Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck grabbed all the headlines with his latest "Break the Bank" Deal getting $140 million over 72 months with an average of $25 million per season for the first three seasons. Then you throw in a $32 million signing bonus and $87 million guaranteed Mr. Luck has a nice "Chunk" of change coming his way.
Now moving forward as that might be the bar for the next wave of QBs like Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Blake Bortles and Derek Carr to name a few we take a look at the Top 10 NFL QB Salaries for 2K16 led by of course Mr. Luck:

Drew Brees in his last year of his deal is sitting at #11 and the Saints and Brees might do series of one year deals....

That dynamic 2004 QB Draft Class of Big Ben, Eli and Philip all Top 7 as they have proven over time all three of those organizations didn't miss...
Kirk Cousins (#12 at $19.9) of #HTTR jumps way up inn salary and deservedly so as he put on a clinic in the 2nd half of 2k15...
Well without further a due the Team U.S.A. Senior Team was put together quicker than a $3 car wash and there are a few players worth noting that said no! Before that let's get to the "Dirty Dozen" dba U.S.A. Basketball Senior Men's Team that will be going for #GoldOrBust in Rio starting in August:

The Small Forwards dba "Custodians" has the "Bully" of MSG going for his 3rd Gold and that would be a Senior Men's National Team Record. K.D. and PG-13 brings star power with "Dubs" bringing the Blue-Collar workman-like approach with both Harrison and Draymond.

It was going to happen as I have been calling this from last August as the Chicago Bulls sends their former "Fight 4 Mo" dba NBA M.V.P. Derrick Rose to the Knicks for three players. Bulls Execs Gar Forman and John Paxson do business with the Zen Master dba Phil Jackson as New York had to make a splash for 2K16-17 with Knicks Tickets at Super Bowl Prices Points for the 41 at World's Most Famous.
As for the trade...here its is with some Lemonhead-esque Details:
#KnicksTape gets:
PG DRose
SG Justin Holiday
1 2K17 second round pick
#SeeRed gets:
Robin Lopez (A Jo Noah Clone)
Jerian Grant (Knicks 2K15 #2 first round pick)
Jose Calderon (Spain National Team Captain)
360 Degrees:
D-Rose brings flash and dash to that Knicks Squad who has not a big name Point God in quite sometime. Holiday was thrown in there to make it work as was that 2K17 second round pick.
The Bulls real steal I think is former ND Irish Combo Guard and "Bloodline" Jerian Grant who didn't see much time playing in his rookie season with New York due to a numbers game in the back court. He was one of three players the Bulls had on their board to draft last season n Gar and Pax have to be feeling good about getting Grant.
Lopez is solid as Pau Gasol is long gone and Jose Calderon brings stability to the backcourt as the Bulls now shows more of their hand for that 2K14 #14 pick which might be another Point God like Demetrious Jackson or Tyler Ulis...lookout Bulls Nation!
Where do you start with these headlines as the Cleveland Cavaliers down 3-1 in the NBA Finals and facing elimination in games 5-7 defeats the impossible beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89 on Planet Oracle for a Chip and a parade route for the Land!
Yes King James dba "Just a Kid from Ohio" grabs Chip #3 but this one was for his childhood dreams and the Stage of Ohio as well as the Land and Akron, Ohio. He also grabbed the "Fight 4 Bill" dba Bill Russell Trophy as the M.O.P. In the 2K16 NBA Finals. His partner in crime Kyrie Irving made his name even bigger in this series as I thought he would share the Trophy with the King as no there can only be one King...right!
It was Kyrie's Triple with with the game tied at 89-89 with 53 seconds remaining that beat "Dubs" as the Splash Brothers for once went silent for the most part when the lights were brightest. James went triple-double with 27 points and eleven boards with eleven helpers as he almost went 'Melo Anthony (ISO Offense in the waning moments of this one) to lose a chance at the chip.
Irving was butter as he went for a cool 26 points showing why he is the best non-dunking finisher in the Logo repeatedly getting by folks with his 5pm ET rush hour NJ Turnpike Handle that is "Fresh 2 Death".
Look if it wasn't for @Money23Green dba "Just a Kid from Saginaw, MI" (32 points 15 rebs 9 asst including 6 for from deep) that Warriors would have gotten drilled in a winner take all game 7. Curry and Klay Thompson went a combined 6 for 24 from deep and had 31 points between them. "Dubs" was +27 in points from the stripe as it came down to getting to the rim and making the right play to put your team in position to grab a Parade Route!
Now the city of Cleveland rejoices as an NBA Championship Winning City and for Northeast Ohio and that Cleveland Fan Base the Bluedude salutes you wearing my Scottie Pippen 1998 NBA Finals Motel Red Jersey...Lol!
Congrats #AllIn and #CavsNation coming back from the "Logo" Dead at 3-1 in the series...
The San Diego Chargers wasted no time securing the services on one wide out Keenan Allen. The Bolts and Allen agrees to a $44 million deal with guarantees somewhere in the neighborhood of $24 million.
Allen a 3rd round pick back in the 2013 Draft has been straight Country Crock Butta from day one. He and Bolts Franchise signal-caller Phillip Rivers connected on 71 grabs for 1,046 yards in his rookie campaign. Allen through the last three seasons has quickly become Rivers go-to-guy not talking red zone as that still belongs to TE Antonio Gates.

It's back for the month of June 2k16 as we go the infamous and award-winning "What If" Sports Scenarios that have transpired in the last few months. Let's get after it...
the
Infamous
and
Award-Winning
"What If"
Sports Scenarios
June 2K16
"What If"...the Seventy Sixers and Lakers didn't get the #1 overall pick in the 2K16 NBA Draft and the Minnesota Timberwolves did...who would the 'Wolves dba TeamThibs grab at #1 Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram or even package the pick up for a Superstar Vet?
"What If"...The Chicago Cubs dba #MaddonBall at 39-16 as we go to press meets all expectations and grabs the NL Pennant and Fall Classic will Chi-City call the Local Five-O or grab them the National Guard with Tanks and Ghetto Birds (Helicopters) to slow down a raucous and uncontrollable Wrigleyville and #CubsNation?
"What If"...The Pittsburgh Steelers had both CBs in Houston Cougars William Jackson III and their Pick Artie Burns from Miami Fla at #24 as well as #14 Raider Pick Safety Karl Joseph (Highlights below) from Morgantown U...would they still have chosen Burns? I am thinking Burns is still the pick...
"What If"...the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins were in the 2K16 Stanley Cup Finals would the NHL get the biggest TV Ratings with these two teams more than any other two teams?
"What If"...Team CP3 of the Nile EYBL Circuit (Currently 14-2 and #1 in the standings) wins the Peach Jam and the EYBL Champs for 2K16...with no Top 30 Recruit...would it be a huge shock or that's the way the AAU Circuit plays out at times?
"What If"...If Team USA Men's Basketball Core is Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Anthony Davis (Injured and not playing in 2K16 Olympic Summer Games)...would you agree there are 7 slots left to fill and heavily undecided?
"What If"...I said Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh is burning both ends of the candle as he is borderline a joke at this current moment in time...would you agree or disagree?
"What If"...I told you Canelo Alvarez and Triple G dba Gennady Golovkin would be the best fight in over 10 years if it happens...would you strongly agree or 50/50 or tell the Bluedude quit hitting the Medicine Cabinet?
"What If"...I told you the best NFL RB in the South resides at LSU playing for the #GeauxTigers dba #TeamMadHatter in Leonard Fournette (Highlights below)...would you strongly agree or that's a huge leap Bluedude from lining up against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles and Atlanta Falcons...no way is Leonard the best RB?
"What If"...I told you the L.A. Sparks and Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA (both at 7-0) are on a WNBA West Finals collision course and the winner of that series will be crowned WNBA Champs as the East can't compete is that True or False?
"What If"...The Chicago Bulls want to move a piece of that current roster and that piece is PG D-Rose...will they have serious suitors if they package that off with the #14 pick in the 2K16 NBA Draft?
"What If"...I said MLB misses #2 from the Bronx Zoo in Derek Jeter would you agree or say the Yanks Faithful misses him even more?
"What If"...Does anyone get how Jay-Z and "Ball and Chain" Beyonce Knowles markets their music as "Lemonade" didn't spark enough interest and intrigue as he Concert Tour followed suit as that is called Strategic Marketing and Planning...it's that simple!.."B" didn't mes up the Bluedude's Fav Lemonade and that would Cheesecake Factory Strawberry Lemonade....5-Star!
"What If'...I said Ocean Spray Cran-Grape Sparkling Drink was a must-have...would you go grab some ASAP...or wonder why this scenario is even in the mix?
"What If"...I said the best NFL Player as we go to press on the Planet is Steelers WR Antonio Brown dba "Business is Boomin'"...would you give him majority of the votes?
"What If"...I said the Air Jordan 12 "Black Nylon" which debuts in the Fall 2K16 is the best looking Jordan 12 or Top 5 Jordan 12 of all-time...would you agree or disagree? (It looks like a nasty piece)
"What If"...the 2k16 Kansas City Royals wins the AL Central again and grabs the AL Pennant could they beat anyone team from the Senior Circuit which might include the Cubbies and Gigantes for starters?
"What If"...#TeamTeal dba San Jose Sharks led by Captain Joe Thornton looking like "Grizzly Adams" come from down 0-2 and beat #TeamHappyFeet dba "Pens" of 'Burgh Ice Hockey Fame?
"What If"...I told you new Miami Hurricanes Lead Man Mark Richt will have the 'Canes back in two seasons in the Top 10...would you agree or disagree or ACC Football is not your thing?
"What If"...I said Dallas, TX HS BB Star in PG Trevon Duval (Highlights below) might be the best HS BB Player in the Class of 2K17...would you agree or disagree?
"What If"...I said the Cleveland Cavaliers will get beat 4-1 in their series with "Dubs" would you agree or disagree and go 4-2 or even 4-3 in seven?
"What If"...I said LSU and projected #1 overall NBA Draft Pick Ben Simmons of Australia and LSU is highly-overrated and Brandon Ingram will be a better Pro...True or False?
"What If"...I said the best College BB Player for the 2K16-17 season will be two freshman in Duke PG Frank Jackson and Kentucky PG DeAaron Fox...True or False?
"What If"...the Boston Red Sox dba Carmines run the table the AL East...will "Big Poppi" dba David Ortiz (Highlights below) cement his legacy as one of the best Red Sox Players ever and is he Cooperstown N.Y. worthy?
"What If"...I said the 2K16 Chicago BBQ Fest (July 12-15) > the 2K16 Taste of Chicago (July 6-10)...would you agree or disagree?
Checkout the next "What If" Sports Scenarios coming July 2k16 after the Holidays...
Where do you start with the hot shooting and everyone on the same page Golden State Warriors putting in a clinic? Or do we talk how lethargic the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing and looking as they head back to C-Land down 0-2 and with a lot of doubt?
After Cleveland weathered that expected initial storm in the 1st frame the Cavs led 21-19. Then all hell broke loose as G.S.W. would hit the phone booth and everyone but the next door Oakland Raiders and Athletics would hit the score book.
"Dubs" would go on a 33-23 binge in the second frame for a modest 52-44 lead at intermission and little did we know the 3rd frame would play out like it did. A 58-33 2nd half by the Warriors led by former Sparty Star @Money23Green dba Draymond Green and his game-high 28 points including a sharp-shooting 5 for 8 fro deep getting his inner Splash Brothers on!
Steph Curry and Klay Thompson would combine to shoot 8 for 16 from deep as G.S.W. shot near 55% from the field and 46% from the arc. That Warriors Bench outscored the Cavs Bench 44-30 and it would have been worse than that if it wasn't for an inspired Richard Jefferson joining King James as the "Only" Cavs Player with some sort of urgency!
Not pointing fingers but the Cavs have to dig really deep to find some sort of happy medium and compete and show some effort which takes no coaching...period! King James led "Believeland" with 19 points and nine helpers with eight boards.
Game 3 is back at the "Q" "Hump Day" June 8 at 9pm ET...
Here we go as many predicted this same match up from last seasons final. The Cleveland Cavaliers playing the 82-game trek hosting Eastern Conference Business under the "Q" Invite gets back to the "Fight 4 Larry" with King James arriving for his 6th consecutive finals appearance.
The Golden State Warriors come off of what many called a "Close Call" but others called it a wake-up call" as they sneak by the Regulators Report O.K.C. dba #ThunderUp coming back from the Logo Dead at 1-3 to win series 4-3 in miraculous fashion.
Now moving forward throw out the two 2K15-16 games as the Warriors won on Christmas Day and then put King James and the Cavs into frigid Lake Erie on the second time around. Both teams are playing at a high-level and this is it as we will crown a Champion after this series...

Don't settle for 23'9" as the Free Throw Line is and can be your best friend...
Lue vs Kerr...is Lue and his Clipboard ready 4 battle as Kerr and Company are a well-oiled machine?
Cavs to win series:
King James must be a little more aggressive getting his buckets. Yes he also needs to be a facilitator but he needs to be really selfish at times. The "Lake Oswego Monster" Kevin Love must show up and Kyrie needs those NJ Turnpike Handles to be devastating towards "Dubs" and he needs to stay in Attack Mode and nothing else.
J.R. Smith, Channing Frye and Matt Dellevedova must be "Big" throughout the series and if they can all make an impact throughout lookout then Cavs will need Cavs Dancers and 2% in the Victory Circle!
Warriors to win series:
Can anyone stop Chef Curry and Klay-metheus as they might be from "Area 51" or their respective Jumpers might be? "Dubs" knows they will be up for the challenge but who plays 3rd wheel? Draymond has to get back to being Draymond and leave the Bill Laimbeer Tactics back in Saginaw, Michigan!
The Warriors Bench woke up late in the O.K.C. Series and who will lead the charge in this series. Harrison Barnes is a real treat as is Mo-Buckets win the big fella is going. Can the Warriors Bench outplay the Cavs Extras as this series might be Epic1
The MLB Power Rankings are back for June 2K16 and the Chicago Cubs have cooled off slightly but holds a solid lead in the NL Central as "Expectations" couldn't be any higher talking Addison and Clark Hardball!
The Washington Nationals playing "Dusty Ball" is also in the mix as they lead the NL East with the Amazins' chasing in the rear. The San Francisco Giants have started to pull away in the NL West as the Dodgers and "Rox" battle for 2nd place.
Then over on the Junior Circuit the Boston Red Sox have the best W-L on the circuit as they try and hold off both the O's and Blue Birds. The defending world champion Kansas City Royals leads the AL Central as the South Siders have fell back to 2nd place after a hot start. The Rangers leads the M's as the AL West might be a two team race...now the MLB Power Rankings for June 2K16!
The White Sox are a dismal 6-13 since May 11, 2k16...
The Giants are 16-3 since May 11, 2k16...
The Royals 14-5 since May 11, 2k16 getting back into their AL Central winning ways...
The Phils were 19-14 on May 11, 2k16 and has been 7-12 since coming back down to Planet Earth...
#MaddonBall dba #GoCubsGo has the biggest divisional lead at 6 1/2 games but something tells me that should be bigger...not getting greedy #CubsNation just saying!
