You know what I like about voting the All Star Selections? It's an exercise in democracy the way it's become in the modern age - a popularity contest. Except this time it's out in the open, unlike when we're voting for our leaders, where we pretend we're doing the right thing.

And We Idolize These Guys

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Used to be I really liked this guy. He had an awesome blog (and I like players who blog, and promote the heck out of them), and he came over 2 years ago and when he left, spread some love about how unexpectedly great the reception was, and encouraged others to come over.

Now, I spent the last twenty minutes smiling as I made this:

Iverson Would Rather Retire Than Come Off Bench

Friday, November 27th, 2009

AI has taken me on a roller coaster ride throughout his career. When he won MVP, he was my idol. I was amazed at the idea of a 6'2 guard lording it over a league of 7" behemoths. Here was the perfect anti-hero of the hiphop generation. A cornrow sporting, tattooed example of the youth rising up from nowhere to hold up the highest individual honor of all of basketball. A kid from the streets doing it right. What's a more romantic scenario than that?

Best And The Worst Of The Week

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Best first.

That's Steve Nash going for a spectacular 21 point 20 assist game against the 76ers, taking what is considered to be a relatively undermanned Phoenix Suns to an impressive 7-1 record.

Jordan vs. Russell Again?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

So as everyone knows MJ shot his mouth off about how Bryon Russell 'threw wood into his fire'. Well guess what. In recent news, the Utah Jazz NBA D-League owner is offering a $100,000 donation to the charity of the winner's choice to see MJ play Russell play one on one.

Even earlier than that, Russell already said how willing he'd be to take him on, saying “I’ll play his a— right now, This is a call-out for him to come play me. He can come out here in his private jet and come play. He’s got millions of dollars. He can pay for the jet. He can meet me at the Recreation Center in Calabasas.” to Yahoo Sports.

I’m Better Than All Of You – And That Comes From The Heart

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

By now everyone on the planet that's ever idolized him has heard his Hall Of Fame speech, and by doing so hopefully taken away something good out of it. Frankly, I didn't.

Which is not to say it detracts from his talent, ability and accomplishments. His greatness may have lessened, but certainly not what he's done with his career.

Best John Stockton Link Yet

Friday, September 11th, 2009

In preparation for the oncoming Hall of Fame weekend in the US (Sep 10-12), I've naturally been privy to all the hype, particularly when I go YouTube-ing (which I tend to do when I'm working bored). It's hard not to be. You can always tell what the NBA's trying to cook up if you notice an inordinate number of NBA sponsored YouTube videos re a particular player or event. For example, if it's All-Star weekend, nearly every basketball video on YouTube's front page is showing All-Star games, interviews leading to All-Star games, etc. (assuming of course, that you have a YouTube account), and so on.

At any rate, the one thing I know that's hard to find on YouTube are John Stockton related material, but since a few weeks ago, that's been radically changed. Highlights and more highlight reels abound, but today I think I've found the best.

Basketball News From All Over (My Version At Least)

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I gotta admit I'm grasping at straws here. The UAAP Finals are still a few weeks away, and even then my team's almost nearly out the door (and deservedly so, since, well, let's admit it, they suck this year). At any rate, here's a look around what's going on, not necessarily in all of basketball, but mostly what's gotten me interested:

Rubio to stay in Spain - If you need more proof how drafts aren't all that relevant, then here it is. What was mostly considered the second coming of Pistol Pete has decided to wait out till he's 21 to play with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who owns his rights from when the NBA draft was held last June.

My opinion? Good for him. At 19 he has a world of opportunity available to him to improve even more in Europe, which is even better than a kid in the US trying to improve via competing in the College ranks. Sure the 'Wolves are gonna miss out on a crowd drawer, and they worked their ass off trying to get this deal, but you can't fault a kid for wanting to get better first and staying home. Heck, you can't even fault the kid for changing his mind because he's exactly that - a kid, and as such prone to such things.

Kobe Visit Pics Post 3 of 3

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Man it's been busy as heck and this post is way delayed, so let's just get it done and wrap this baby up. Here are some of my remaining pics of Kobe's visit.

So as I mentioned last time we went ahead of everyone else to Ultra (Philsports Arena) and this is what greeted us, empty stands and the hosts just hanging out.

Kobe Visit Pics Post 1 of 3

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I took around 90 pics from Kobe's Manila visit yesterday so it'd be such a pity if I didn't publish them all. So I decided to break it down into three parts in chronological order as the day went on. Here's the first, starting morning of the 21st at the Press Conference, Manila Pen, Makati.


Some press guy came in wearing a full Lakers uniform. Wonder if it paid off.

The Gods of Basketball Do Not Take Kindly To Missed FTs

Friday, June 12th, 2009
Fish's 1st 3 pointer (or was it his 2nd? I forget.)

To me, it's very simple. If you shoot only 22-37 FTs (59.5%), inspite of being able to shoot 76% FTs in the regular season, then you deserve to lose. Especially if a. those FTs are important down the stretch (such as Howard's 2 of 2 misses with 11.1 seconds to go in the 4th with the score 84-87, that could've brought them within a point), and b. players who regularly do better, such as Hedo Turkoglu who shoots 84% FTs in the regular season, suddenly shooting only 8 of 13 (61%) today.

I mean, think about it. Everything else LA did or Orl couldn't do could've been neutralized if Orl could only sink their charities.

This Is What It’s All About

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I'm referring to this:

That's Lakers Center Pao Gasol, one of the world's best at his position in any team in any league and imho, deserving of the honor accorded those who filled that same position on the team in the past, celebrating after a perfect give and go play.

The Lakers now go on 2-0 vs. the (surprisingly) struggling Orlando Magic in this year's Finals Series, 101-96 (OT).
