So my buddy on twitter posted that an old Western Conference Semi Finals game between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers was on NBA TV. I didn’t have class for another few hours and I love watching these old classic games so I put it on. Midway through decided I’m going to do a past diary on it. Put on the Kings-Lakers game. These
"Nash to Kobe!" That's the type of thing you might, before tonight, only hear in an NBA All-Star game. However, tonight we learned that Steve Nash will indeed be going to Los Angeles to join forces with Kobe Bryant. Earlier today it was rumored that the New York Knicks were the front runners in landing Nash, but 4 draft picks over 2
The coronation of the King is complete. LeBron James is an NBA Champion, an NBA Finals MVP, and above all, he has become the leader we all expected him to be. Yet, I'm sure there are still those who will question his greatness. Never has there been a more scrutinized player. But, why? It is one thing to dislike a player as a fan. It is,
I could try to capture the climate of the NBA Finals in words, or paint a picture of what has been a truly exciting and thrilling start to those Finals...but, there is something much more important that I feel the need to share with you. Earlier this week a beautiful musical tribute was paid to the most talked about athlete on the planet, LeBron
The game was far from beautiful. It featured atrocious shooting from both Boston and Philadelphia. No one player stood out as the heroic savior of a game seven...until Paul Pierce (on a questionable charging call) fouled out with just over four minutes left in the game. It was at that point, that a savior stood up in Boston. It was at
Sometime this week, Mike Woodson is expected to drop the "interim" and officially be named the head coach of the New York Knicks. Woodson, who took over after Mike D'antoni and the team parted ways, finished the season 18-6 with the 7th seed in the playoffs. That playoff run was not very deep though, as the Knicks were bounced out of the
Thursday of last week, prior to game 1 of the Heat vs Pacers series, Pacer coach Frank Vogel said of the Heat, that they were "...the biggest flopping team in the league". He elaborated further by saying, "Oftentimes, they're falling down even before contact is even being made." While those statements may be founded in a certain amount of
Throughout the condensed 2011-12 NBA season, there have been quite a few injuries because of the grueling 66-games in four months format. Add the Chicago Bulls' superstar Derrick Rose to the list. Of course, we all know the season was irregular because of the lockout that began in July of 2011 and ended in December. Instead of taking its
For anyone that has observed the hilarious circus that is the Republican primaries, surely they have caught sight of the walking parody that is Rick Santorum. A man with so little respect for women, yet the seeming adoration of many, perpetuates what many wish was a dying stereotype in the American cultre: the overly conservative white man that
Tim Tebow clearly has the influence of Jesus in his games. SNL explained in lucid detail how Jesus only uses his miracles on the Broncos in the fourth quarter of NFL games. The implications to the sports world reach far beyond the realms of just the National Football League. Where am I going with this? While I am not quite 100% sure myself,
