I used to watch Jordan through his second 3 peat and the game of basketball was so much more entertaining. Yes the league has trascended into a league with more athletic wings and more skillful bigs who are playing like guards such as superstars Anthony Davis,DeMarcus Cousins, and Kristaps Porzingis but Continue reading “Is the NBA a More Entertaining Product Now?”

I say this because I grew up watching Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and you can say what you want about those two but they never quit and instead perfected their crafts and became legends. Kawhi Leonard has been blessed to learn from basketball legends Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich and has gotten better and better every year.

He became NBA Finals MVP in a 4-1 rout over the Lebron led Miami Heat in a revenge series after Continue reading “Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the league.”

Markelle Fultz is a 6’4 guard who was drafted #1 overall by the Philadelphia Sixers in the 2017 NBA Draft. Fultz has been sidelined with muscle in-balance in his right shoulder and has not played much, although he did log 10 points against the Wizards. In that game he was impressive Continue reading “Markelle Fultz Will Complete “The Process”.”

Been watching this man since Duke and as far as skill-set goes in the NBA he is second to none. You can make a case for Durant as the best all-around scorer in the league but what can’t Kyrie Irving do offensively?

He lead a surge against the Rockets last night, the Celtics were down by 26 and Kyrie Irving turned it up a notch on both ends and finished with 26 points 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Playing Continue reading “Can Kyrie Irving do the unthinkable?”

Terry Rozier is currently playing behind superstar guard Kyrie Irving who is on the Celtics’s books for another 2 seasons before Danny Ainge decides if he is worth re-signing. Kyrie Irving is the best ball handler the NBA has ever seen and brings back flashes of legend Kobe Bryant with his shot making ability and being and aggressive scorer, ask yourself who is Continue reading “Watch out for Terry Rozier.”

I have been following this kid since high-school and he was incredible, exceptional ball handling ability,craftiness, can create his own shot off the dribble and pull up from long distance with ease. He also has impeccable footwork and is a very crafty finisher with the ability to Continue reading “Dennis Smith Jr is going to be a superstar.”

So Durant defeats Lebron in dominating fashion last season and beats him in the Finals yet Lebron is still the best? Durant’s move to Golden State was to put himself in the conversation for greatest small-forward ever by the time he retires.

Nothing against Lebron James who is one of the best players of all-time and is putting together a resume which only few will be able to match when he retires but Kevin Durant is Continue reading “Why is Kevin Durant not considered the best player in the game?”

Kyle Kuzma was drafted 27th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers and has been in and out of the Lakers starting lineup but has now found himself as possibly a permanent starter going forward.

Kyle Kuzma is averaging 25.6 ppg over his last 5 games and might possibly eclipse Ben Simmons for rookie of the year if he keeps scoring at this rate. Kuzma is not afraid to shoot the Continue reading “Kyle Kuzma could be the fish to lure Lebron.”

6’9 250 pounds of brute force with ball-handling ability and a motor on both I see only a handful which include Draymmond Green and Russell Westbrook. Julius Randle came into the NBA as a prospect who lacked a perimeter jumper but was lethal due to his ability to handle the ball as a big man and serve as a play-maker, not to Continue reading “Julius Randle is on the cusp of stardom.”

Ben Simmons is 6-10 230 pounds and combines athleticism with an ahead of the curve NBA body. His transition to the NBA is similar to Blake Griffin who nursed an injury his rookie season but exploded onto the NBA scene with the Clippers and averaged 20 points per game his first season.

Ben Simmons is currently averaging 17 ppg to go with 9 rpg and close to 8 assists per contest, those are Continue reading “Ben Simmons won’t be great if he focuses on stats.”
