• The Clippers are Buoyed for One Night

    The Clippers are Buoyed for One Night

    The Los Angeles Clippers have faced a lot of pressure and scrutiny over the years for their lackluster performance on the court, but for one night the stars shined in L.A. including James Harden.

    Harden scored 50 points and marked the 24th time in history behind Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant, he accomplished that. The Clippers faced the young defending Detroit Pistons and boy were not as bad, but they culminated a recipe for disaster based on the season Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duran, and Ausar Thompson has been developing.

    The Clippers went all separate ways and deviated from the fact that they were not resilient. They had help. Owner Steve Ballmer, like normal, sat courtside with former president Barack Obama and Harden meanwhile displayed some of his old signature moves from Houston and Oklahoma City. This was nothing out of the ordinary as Harden has been used to scoring at least more than 20 points in a quarter this season, four times.

    Without Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell, and the fact that Ivica Zubac leftover piece from the Los Angeles Lakers, showed out on both ends and scored 22 along with 11-20 shooting and being very vocal, said extremes. Much so without legend Lou Williams being there. The ghost of the devil reigned in the most points scored in Clippers history before Harden during the 2018 season.

    Harden scored his first major doubles like this since 2019 and it has. not come close to the fact, though, still for one night the Clippers must fight hard in the knits of adversity. They must sail past the game that set them apart from losing six of seven games since the All-Star and what decided execution.

    The Pistons were a good team as they won 10 of 11 games most recently prior to this one, so my hats to the Los Angeles Clippers on one spectacular night and hopefully more to come for their fanbase.

  • Has Lebron James Overachieved with 50,000 Career Points?

    Has Lebron James Overachieved with 50,000 Career Points?

    Lebron James is one of the greatest of all-time. No qualms about that, but what can be said is the man is dialing in all cylinders whether its championships (4), finals MVP’S (4), most valuable player awards (4), and fourth all-time assists (11,481).

    He is even a 21-time NBA All-Star who unfortunately missed out on the game this year.

    But, what I am about to say is intriguing and it has no relation to Bronny James entering the league through his father bestowal.

    Lebron has not overachieved simple because he has earned the right to say so. He has won numerous awards as talked about and works hard in the gym. He sets goals like Jordan, just not seen on the court.

    He makes it look so easy based off his dribble penetration, fadeaway shot, and most importantly his understanding for getting back on defense or rebounding. I think that it was goes deemphasized on replays and in his discussion/huddles with now J.J. Redick is to be aggressive and tell his sons and build off the necessary team work ethic possible to win basketball games in trailing one’s or seasons transpiring between Luka Doncic and him which is allowing the course of the Show time Los Angeles Lakers to stay on steam and balance in transition for a heavy Slovenian player rooted on by his critical father and 40 year old fundamental star who as I said before can every youngster, from Kobe Bryant bestow about the things and lights of basketball.

    This is a game not to be erased some by the fact of 21 years! Lebron James has not overachieved and you should be mesmerized by the fact that he scored and shot 50,000 career points as part of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers.

    Kareem Abdul Jabaar like many of the centers of the traditional league and past helped cultivate an understanding that you could do it as a bigger man like Lebron James and score between tenures in a small market such as Milwaukee and Los Angeles.

    Kareem helped catapult alongside Magic Johnson to NBA championship rings and Lebron James will look to do so now, this year, in California.

  • Monday Wake Up Call: Man United Want to win by 2028

    Monday Wake Up Call: Man United Want to win by 2028

    Manchester United is naive according to all-time spin cycle guru Wayne Rooney. Rooney spends some of most of his time spectating soccer these days, in London, and taking a close eye at what he sees and does not.

    In particular, the Man United team has had a lot of flaws over a period time but it is not to say they cannot redeem themselves that they want to set goals for example by the end of 2028 and develop their wealth of young talent they are developing right now.

    Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkee, and Leny Yoro are. key names to watch out for. But most particularly, Yoro looks to be the successor of the net.

    All the others have to earn themselves a price worthy spot and if anything, 2028 is three years from now so recruitments are plenty to be had, in just that time.

    What, of course, lacks is a premier world common star, of half the globe. Thankfully enough, Man United won vs. Ipswich Town yesterday 3-2. They managed lesser time with the soccer ball, with fewer corners and shots.

    They are 9-12 and will have to work with their veteran cast and capitalize on their good history as a long-standing franchise in the Premier League.

  • Travis Kelce Plans to Return for ’25 Season

    Travis Kelce Plans to Return for ’25 Season

    Travis Kelce plans to return for ’25 season. He says the following to ESPN.

    “I’m coming back for sure.” Going to try to get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle.

    “I can’t go out like that!!!!”

    And this is off the heels of a confirmation by Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and personality Pat McAfee.

    This is of kind unreal to put into perspective.

    Veach goes on record to confirm the following then McAfee looks better than ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.

    Since when did, McAfee overtake the responsibilities of Schefter? I digress, Veach wants Kelce more than anything after an abysmal Super Bowl loss and righteously after even surpassing Jerry Rice’s reception record.

    That did not serve enough justice for the hair, outfit, Taylor Swift, camera film, and Heights podcast to release a statement with his brother Jason that the first butt kicking Super Bowl over his sibling just was not enough.

    Let me be clear and explicit, Travis is one of the best tight ends to ever touch a football with over 1,000 receptions, 12,451 receiving yards by his understandable partner, Patrick Mahomes, and packing on fifth all-time receiving touchdowns (77).

    But that is not all.

    Travis has no misogyny and that is him. He loves Taylor Swift’s music albums. But, one thing that sets him apart from the rest is that he is a hustler from my point of view. He will come back, it is a matter of time.

  • Did KD Make the Right Decision?

    Did KD Make the Right Decision?

    Kevin Durant is a prized enterprise. He has been around as long as the Longhorns have won their last national college football championship with Vince Young tunneling in pretty much. KD is ferocious. He does not allow any decision to go un guard. Just like the ones that have still made one of the small forwards in the NBA.

    But, more recently KD decided to do something nobody feasibly thought. He went ahead and, okay, decided to reject a trade back to his former team, the Golden State Warriors. The exact team or enterprise in 2017 that led him to first championship gold and hugging mom and expressing to the world how hardship of a Warrior pays off along the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

    As most may know then later behind closed doors, something broke out. Draymond Green not only got into with Jordan Poole or drew as many technical fouls in the recent past, he notably unleashed on KD. KD’s chemistry from then on was not the same and no personnel was their not even Bob Myers to retreat the damage.

    It was said KD’s last days in Golden State rung true and to this day righteously so as he decided to reject the trade to GS and is stationed in Phoenix where leaking immediate claimed owner Mat Ishbia would pay and retain him there until it is time to seek a better trade destination and value offer.

    KD is a prized player and possession. He is used to this pressure before from Oklahoma City to Brooklyn and so forth. He wants to cap off his career right one last time before it ends like Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and all the rest who are currently struggling to maintain in series of big alliances, international prospects, or rival opponents.

  • Do Not Make the Travis Hunter Story Complicated

    Do Not Make the Travis Hunter Story Complicated

    Travis Hunter is a two-way star out of Colorado University. He was highly recruited by coach Deion Sanders and played good enough to earn this year’s Heisman’s award.

    Now what I am not understanding is why teams such as the Tennessee Titans (No.1) followed by the Cleveland Browns are making things sound complicated about Hunter? Browns GM Andrew Berry goes on to state that given the opportunity, Hunter will most likely play wide receiver and punt returner but that does not mean we should rule out the eligibility of Hunter’s abilities on both sides of the field.

    Last year at Colorado, Hunter played 86.8 percent of offensive snaps for Colorado while on the defensive side, he performed 82.9% of reps. Just think about that, traveling back and forth, from play call to executional work.

    Hunter has the ability to go the distance whether offense, defense, special teams or splitting it meticulously to start the season with the Tennessee Titans or Cleveland Browns.

    The Titans coach Brian Callahan has said to be cautious but there is also the Cleveland Browns who have not been successful in finding a premier athlete such as Hunter and begging he does not get hurt. It could be a win unlike the column shows in Cleveland.

    The NFL Draft Combine begins Thursday, February 27 and expect Travis Hunter to turn some scouts’ faces along the other likes of Abdul Carter, Tyler Warren, and Ashton Jeanty.
