Who's your number-one pick, Kevin Durant or Greg Oden?

Chartrey: With the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, I — and the Memphis Grizzlies — select Greg Oden. Seriously, is there even a doubt? Take the big man. Please! Durant should be a nice, productive player at the NBA level, but he can't control the paint, swat shots or man up 7-footers like Oden can. Besides, 6-foot-8-inch swingman players are a dime a dozen. All the NBA needs is another Tracy McGrady.

Mayers: If the Houston Texans had the first pick, they would probably mess up and take Joakim Noah, or something like that. For me, I'll take Oden. Absolutely dominant big men (Shaq, Duncan, Garnett) don't come around very often, and Oden is an out-of-this-world athlete at 7 feet tall. Any team would be ecstatic to get either, since both come into the NBA in the top five of their position already.

Metzler: Greg Oden is my pick. While Kevin Durant was the first freshman to receive Player of the Year honors, Oden can change an entire team. His interior defensive skills are already of elite caliber. For a period of the season he shot free throws left-handed because of a wrist injury and shot over 65 percent. He is long and young and has the most upside. Some compare him to a young Bill Russell. Durant will be a great pro, a Tracy McGrady-caliber player, but Oden has the chance to be the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Caple: Kevin Durant. Greg Oden looks like he has arthritis, and he has to be at least 40 years old. Is that joke played out yet?

Does Don Imus deserve to be fired for his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team?

Chartrey: Can someone explain to me why this windbag did not get fired? Greater men have been killed for less. Seriously, though, a two-week "suspension?" That's it? Right, like any 90-year-old man wouldn't be thrilled to have a two-week vacation in the middle of spring.

Mayers: Not only does he deserve to be fired, but he deserves an ass-kicking, too. He must have been hanging out with Michael Richards or something. I was extremely upset when I heard what he said, and even more upset that these racial issues keep coming up. It's just another example of how far we are from what this country stands for: freedom and equality.

Metzler: When Sid Rosenberg made comments about Serena and Venus Williams being too masculine-looking, he was fired from Don Imus' show on WFAN-AM in New York City. He apologized, and it was Imus who later re-hired Rosenberg. "It's one thing to say things like that — and occasionally stuff gets said on this program by all of us that is inappropriate — but it's quite another to feel that way," Imus explained in the New York Post. Although it was tacky and tasteless, I believe he still deserves to keep his job after making his apology.

Caple: No, but I do think Don Imus should be fired for looking like a 300-year-old troll. Have you seen that guy lately? Talk about nappy-headed.

Do you think that baseball players should be allowed to wear the No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson or should it stay retired?

Chartrey: I think LaTroy Hawkins said it best when he came out and said that he was not worthy of the honor. And he is right. No one is worthy of wearing the No. 42, because what Jackie Robinson did was — flat out — the most heroic thing in the world of sports — ever. No one in the current arena of sports has had to deal with even a fraction of the scorn and contempt he dealt with on a daily basis in order to gain equality among the races in baseball and then other sports.

Mayers: I'm okay with others wearing his No. 42, especially since players will be doing it to honor him. There aren't enough ways to pay tribute to what Jackie Robinson did for the sport and our country. He should be the single most-celebrated sports figure, in my opinion. Restricting access to his number would just create unnecessary controversy.

Metzler: It's a great thing to honor Jackie Robinson. He was the only person to ever letter in four sports at UCLA. Some say baseball was his fourth-best sport! For the trials and tribulations he went through, he deserves more recognition than he gets today. Dan Patrick believes he is the greatest athlete ever. I think players should be allowed to wear the No. 42 jersey in his remembrance, but it would have to be on very special occasions.

Caple: Isn't the point of retiring a number so nobody will ever wear it again? Besides, that could get a little confusing. I heard the Dodgers' whole team is going to wear No. 42 to honor him. That's a little ridiculous. If Ken Griffey Jr. wants to do it, though, that's fine with me.
