Kobe Bryant Is One of The Most Overrated Players in NBA History

With the NBA finals approaching, a stage that Kobe has repeatedly failed to rise to the occasion in, the question remains whether Kobe can win a championship on his own. For some reason, however, most people do not know of Kobe’s failure to play well in the NBA Finals and that is  just one of [...]

Sorry David Stern, No Kobe or LeBron In The Finals

From the very beginning of the season, I have said two things: The Lakers won’t win a championship because Kobe isn’t Michael Jordan, and won’t be able to carry the Lakers unless Andrew Bynum becomes a key part of their offense. The Cavaliers won’t win a championship because they don’t have that second star to compliment [...]

Phillies At The Quarter Pole: A 41 Game Review

The Philadelphia Phillies are a quarter of the way through their defense of their World Series championship. Thus far, through the accolades and mourning, this Phillies team has proven to be as strong as the team that brought home the title in 2008.

The 10 Best Athletes in the World

Athleticism—physical prowess consisting variously of coordination, dexterity, vigor, and stamina. That’s one way to describe it, but words do not do athleticism justice. It’s poetry in motion. This list looks at the best athletes in sports. Who’s the strongest, fastest, and most skilled? Who can stop on a dime and rotate 360 degrees in the [...]

Why The NBA Needs The Houston Rockets To Beat The L.A. Lakers

Come on, Houston, do it for Golden State. For Bryce Drew. Hey, for Yao Ming. No, don’t do it for that team, or that college player everyone has forgotten. Don’t even do it for your center—who can never manage to finish a playoff run. And definitely don’t do it for Tracy McGrady. Do it for [...]

The Rockets Have The Heart That The Lakers Are Missing

The Rockets who have lost Mcgrady, Yao Ming, and Mutumbo for the season, have shown that heart and toughness are the true keys to being a champion. There are some players who frankly a scouting report does not give justice to.

The Rockets are filled with players that when they get on the court they simply know how to play basketball. There are certain things you can teach and certain things you can’t. The Lakers, as talented as they are, are just simply missing heart and toughness.

Kobe Bryant's Frustrations May Cost Him a Championship Again

Kobe Bryant has a history of flailing his arms out of frustration.

In 2006, Kobe was suspended two games for elbowing Mike Miller.

In 2007, Kobe was suspended one game for flailing his shooting arm and striking Manu Ginobili.

Less than six weeks later, Kobe was suspended again for flailing his shooting arm, which resulted in Marco Jaric getting whacked in the nose.

By no means do I consider Kobe to be a dirty player. He doesn’t come into games with intentions of flailing elbows. The problem is that he easily gets frustrated and let his emotions control him.

Kobe is so used being able to do whatever he wants on the court, that when he gets challenged by a tough defense like the Rockets, he gets frustrated.

NBA Reclamation Projects: Nine Players on The Brink of Disaster

It’s always a wonderful thing when a basketball player heading down the wrong path matures and begins to make the most of his talents. The Denver Nuggets, for example, have an entire roster filled with such reclamation projects. Chris Anderson was banned from the NBA for two years for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, [...]

Orlando Steals Game One From Boston, 95-90

J.J. Redick sank four out of four free throws in the final minutes, as the Orlando Magic hung on for the win in Boston. I bet you never thought you’d hear that. Redick chipped in another solid effort in his second straight start, but the man of the night was Dwight Howard, you dusted off [...]

J.J. Redick Shines As Magic Close Series Against 76ers

In his first major action of the 2009 NBA Playoffs, J.J. Redick filled in admirably for Courtney Lee, who missed the sixth game of the series with an injury sustained in game five. Redick started the game, helping the offense stay hot in the first half, and through the game, by connecting from beyond the [...]
