Politics, Music, Sports and I like to whine about my life too.
Well I got a book I have been waiting to read for years. Taboo : Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We’re Afraid to Talk About It by John Entiene.
The book is not really all that exciting, much of the information is stuff that I have already read. But I am only 1/3rd [...]
NBA All-Star weekend.
Love the NBA weekend. Celebration of the game. Loved TNT’s coverage.
Slam dunk contest wasn’t so good. But the rookie/sophomore game was beyond great. Leagues got a lot of young talent coming into the fold. A lot of different style 0f games too. The powerful athleticism of Russell Westbrook. The feisty play of Omri [...]
I love watching this team.
First off I love Paul Westphal. One of the best players. He coaches up tempo basketball.
The Kings also have a great roster of energy guys who work really hard. Omri Casspi the first Isreali to play in the NBA is a really skilled player who makes all those little plays. Andres [...]
I love the new additions to League Pass this year. Now they replay games over and over. So I don’t really miss any games. This is a really amazing thing for me. Now if I know a game was close I rewatch the 4th quarter or if a blowout see how it happened.
The downside is [...]
Opening Day NBA 2009-2010
Anthony Parker is going to help the Cavs a lot. Dude hustles and his defense is better than expected. He may be more important than Shaq.
Jamario Moon’s jumper is just ugly.
Lebron James chasing down a fastbreak may be the most exciting play in the NBA. Those blocks are just amazing.
Cavs are a [...]
Oh how happy I am! The NBA season started with the Cavs getting beat in Boston. Paul Pierce crying at the ring ceremony, how touching.
Bucks looked terrible and my man Luke Ridnour turned the ball over way too much. I thought Milwaukee might be a surprise team this year but they are so soft up [...]
The NBA screwed the pooch on this one.
I think it is important that the NBA keeps a West Coast presence. I also hope that, like the Cleveland Browns in the NFL, the Seattle franchise history and tradition stays in Seattle so when they get awarded a new team it gets the same colors, uniforms and [...]
My dream coming true?
Commissioner David Stern is considering new plans to create five full-fledged NBA franchises in Europe over the next decade, a league source told SI.com
I really hope that the NBA expands across continents and becomes a true world league. I really think that basketball will be the most popular worldwide sport by the [...]
Boston Celtics back on national TV. Sure seems like its been a long while. This Celtics team is fun to watch. Paul Pierce is someone who really needs to be in consideration for top 5 player in the league (maybe his ceiling was a few years ago though). But out of the him, Ray Allen [...]
Caron Butler was on TNT tonight and I just want to say this guy needs to be on the all star team. He is shooting almost 50% and I love when those wing guys shoot that high. He plays under control and has that mid range game. He passes, defends and plays hard. Vote him [...]
