NBA Finals

college basketball Hall of Fame plaque hung on the wall. It had just recently been updated after the Hall of Fame presentation on Saturday. Everyone was telling me that I needed to declare that I’m joining the NBA as soon as possible! After everyone telling me, I then declared for the NBA draft halfway through the college season. The election for the new president was going on at that moment, they had been going on for quite a while, but I wasn’t really interested…

The Chicago Bulls handled their business (barely) against the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night. The undermanned Cavs weren’t able to overcome being without three of their starters against Chicago, eventually falling to the Bulls 106-94 in Quicken Loans Arena. The loss snapped Cleveland’s nine-game winning streak at The Q. “I had a lot of combinations out there that guys were not used to playing with, but I just thought we competed,” Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said. “We played…

tragic murder in 1993. Jordan continues on to play baseball in 1994, but retires after that season in 1995. He returns to the NBA wearing number 45, but later returns to his trademark number 23. In 1998, Jordan steals the ball from Karl Malone and shoots the game winning shot to win the Bulls sixth NBA title over the Utah Jazz. He retires after this season, but returns to the NBA in 2003 to play for the Wizards, and retired for good after this season for good. With nothing left to prove on the…

the Brooklyn Nets Mikhail Prokhorov. Sitting at over 8.9 billion dollars in net worth, in 2010 the NBA approved Prokhorov to purchase 80% of the then New Jersey Nets. Since then he has ran for President in Russia and claimed that the he would get married had the Nets not won a championship in the first five years of his ownership. Currently he is the owner of a team with the worst record in the NBA (18-59) and is still not married. How did we end up here? When Prokhorov purchased the Nets, he…

The game roared on as my dad and I continued to cheer and high five after every amazing shot made. Even through all the madness of the game and my desire to go see the team play, all I really wanted to do was have fun and bond with my dad. As the final seconds ticked off and a piercing buzzer sounded throughout the Toyota Center. A familiar voice gleefully announced the Rockets had won. My dad and I began to hug and then high five random fans sitting around us. I had enjoyed the game, and I…

Are the Lakers playoff contenders? After the Lakers struck out on key Free Agents like LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan, and Kevin Love, the Lakers managed to make up for their blunders by signing Brandon Bass and Sixth Man award winner Lou Williams as well as trade for Center Roy Hibbert from the Indiana Pacers. Let’s not forget the Lakers drafting D’Angelo Russell with the Number two pick to add with a young mix of Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle. The Lakers managed to have a pretty decent…

After defeating both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets in consecutive nights, the Philadelphia 76ers were back in action on Sunday taking on the Milwaukee Bucks. It was an action-packed game that saw the Sixers get out to a 10-0 lead in the opening frame and ultimately scoring 72 points in the first half. However, the Bucks did not back down, thanks to a tremendous performance from All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 35 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.…

is involved with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green. He lives in California ,and he is one of the top 15 players in the NBA! He is known for his corner three. Even though Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters to ever step on a basketball court, he isn’t getting as much playing time as he deserves. He has two of the best three players in the NBA today. Rumor has it that he…

In my last article, we discussed some sleeper point guards for the 2015-16 NBA season, so now it’s time to look at the shooting guard position. Shooting guards are the most difficult players for me to project in fantasy basketball. It’s so hard during the preseason to get a firm grasp on who will be starting and who’s minutes may see a decrease this season. I do in fact have some great sleeper options, though. From Monta Ellis to Zach LaVine, there are are plethora of talented guys to anchor…

The October 30, 1944 cover of TIME magazine depicts a photograph of a stern faced man against a background that includes a closed fist punching an image of Emperor Hirohito of Japan; the caption reads “I Shall Return.” The man is General Douglas MacArthur, who embodies the pure, rugged masculinity that America holds in such high esteem. He’s often quoted for saying, “Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.” The United States has elevated that value of…
