* This is a repost of my Blog from last year in Tribute to Kobe on the 1 Year Anniversary of his tragic passing. It has been 2 weeks since Kobe Bryant has passed away and it still doesn't feel real. He might be the last person on this entire planet that anyone could imagine would leave us so early and so suddenly. He was a superhero and superheros are not suppose to die. He was the King of LA, the greatest franchise in all of basketball and home to more stars and celebrities than anywhere in the world. Well here is my In Depth Blog to pay tribute to some of Kobe's greatest accomplishments on the court and some...
Now that every team has played at least 41 games, it's time to go through the Awards Winners and All Star Predictions at the half way point in the Season. Most Valuable Player (MVP) 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) 30 ppg, 12.8 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.1 spg, 1. bpg FG 55.3%, FT 61.5%, 3P 32.5 % (1.7 3PM), P.E.R 33.47 Freaky. That's all you can really say about Giannis...30 points a game in just 30 minutes. Almost 13 rebounds and 5.5 assists. If somebody could actually challenge the Bucks and push Giannis a bit than his numbers would look closer to 35 ppg and 15 rpg which is his per 36 minute numbers - the amount of time most...
So after ranking all the current players in the NBA in an earlier blog, let's take a look at the All Time Greatest 30 players. Players will be judged on Individual Accolades, Career Statistics, Team Success, Individual Skill and Talent, and Influence on the game of basketball. 1. Michael Jordan (15 seasons 1984-93, 95-98, 01-03) 6 NBA Titles / 6 Finals, 5 x MVP, 6 x Finals MVP 14 x All Star, 3 x All Star Game MVP 10 x All NBA 1st Team, 1 x 2nd Team 1 x DPOY, 9 x All Defense 1st Team 10 x Scoring Champ, 3 x Steals Leader 32,292 Pts (5th All Time), 6,672 Reb, 5,633 Ast, 2,514 Stl (3rd All Time)...
The NBA season is back! After a busy summer where multiple All Stars changed teams, let's take a look at the Top 10 starting / finishing lineups for the upcoming season. Since some teams such as the LA Clippers have talented bench players (Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell) that play crunch time minutes, I will be ranking the best 5, as in the 5 that will probably finish most games. So for the Lakers for example even though they are projected to start AD at PF with Kuzma on the bench, I would assume they would finish with a small ball lineup of Davis at the 5 and Kuz at the 4. And since Kuzma is clearly the 3rd best...
After an unexpected Playoffs and a crazy NBA Free Agency where multiple stars switched teams, who are the current Top 50 players in the NBA? As I will be focusing on the upcoming season, I will not rank rookies like Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett as it is impossible to predict a ranking for them before seeing them play one game. I will also not rank Kevin Durant or John Wall as they are both expected to miss most if not all of next season both with a Ruptured Achilles, otherwise KD would be seriously considered for the Number 1 spot. However I WILL be ranking Klay Thompson who also suffered a serious Torn ACL because Klay is...
