Kobe and the Media hype:
 I’ve been around for a long time  and I have seen all of the good ones.  So let me give you an observation from an old guy.  Jordan made everyone around him better.  James has learned how to keep everyone around him involved.  Kobe makes spectators out of everyone.

 I was struck by Paul Pierce’s tweet on how “sad” the NBA brothers were over Kobe’s injury.  I wondered if the players ever thought about how they could seriously injure a fellow player by taking a hard foul.  I have very strong feelings on how this should be handled and we will talk about  that […]

Dragic and Curry: In my last blog of April 6, when Golden State played at Phoenix, I said that it appeared that Dragic may have gotten the best of Curry.  I said not true and here is why.  Dragic shot 11 for 13 for 32 points and had 3 assists and was responsible […]

Some more on Beasley:  Like so many before him, Beasley wears the Break Your Heart label like a neon sign. I’ve always wondered what happens to these players before they get to the NBA.

Also  last night, April 5: Suns/Warriors, Beasley, had one of those “I’ll show you, I have some talent game”.   This is the kind of trap that talented players like Beasley set. They have a great game and everybody […]

A couple of days ago, I said that Stephen Curry, was probably the best point guard in the NBA, the reason being that the game comes so easy for him. Also, he makes every body around him better and I’ll expand on that point later.

Last night Golden State came into Phoenix […]

Regarding Tom Van Riper’s article for Forbes: http://www.forbes.com

The NBA’s Most Overpaid Players, April 4, 2013

 “Tom, You only named 10 and  there are probably a couple of 100 more ” But guess what, it’s really not their fault because you have dumb management people who are willing to pay them. Another example is […]
