  • Are the Sixers Starting to Become a Complete Embarrassment?

    Are the Sixers Starting to Become a Complete Embarrassment?

    The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock with Jared McCain representing the team at the 2025 NBA Draft lottery out of Duke. It would be interesting if the Sixers landed foreseeable No.1 pick Cooper Flagg but the odds are slim every year.

    The Sixers have become a complete embarrassment since Julius Erving last schooled the city on basketball education with Moses Malone. Not the assertive argument of practice by Allen Iverson who was a great Sixer himself.

    Pat Croce was a great supervisor in the Sixers efforts towards their last championship appearance against the Lakers but ever since. It has become a cesspool.

    Yesterday, Joshua Harris announced to the world he and the Washington Commanders will be hosting the 2027 NFL Draft but what is worse is that this team is being easily forgotten about compared to some of the best franchises in sports.

    Harris is a business mogul and he tried with several general managers such as Sam Hinkie, Bryan Colangelo, and Elton Brand but the time has come to question this city because there are rumors the prestige is sometimes on the line moving to Camden or Chinatown.

    Daryl Morey is the current general manager, the orthodox hero of claiming James Harden in his glory days and you best believe Philadelphia makes some noise because that is what they always do as the home of Independence Hall.

  • What to Respect about the Legend of Lebron James

    What to Respect about the Legend of Lebron James

    Lebron James is the greatest of his generation. Between him and Jordan, it is a tough debate between competitive defense guarded on them. But Lebron is casted not in the light of currently Bronny James nor Bryce James.

    He was simply not coached right this postseason and it is okay because an exceptional young coach such as JJ Redick is permitted to cause mistakes in critical situations and learn. It just prepares to make him better knowing Lebron will return for predictably his 22nd NBA season and work with the X’s and O’s the Lakers tried to play.

    There are not too many younger coaches or phenomenons such as Lebron James to enter. James entered the league without a college degree without much to show meaning. He was destined, glorified to do great unbelievable things, respectfully so.

    This late season stretch was all about the team again. In the beginning, it was about Bronny James draft party and being introduced in front of the media with the Lakers 55th overall pick. Lebron called it his No.1 accomplishment and while I do not agree.

    It was certainly gratifying.

    When Lebron James struggled so mightily against the adversity of The Decision to leave Cleveland and join Miami for.a championship. James played, outwitted, and proved in his darkest and deepest moments. He could play in the biggest moments and stop his predecessors that included Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett.

    Ray Allen later joined Lebron James in Miami and hit one of the most historic shots in NBA Finals history with ABC/ESPN announcer Mike Breen on the call and did the courtesy for him, Dwyane Wade, and one of the integral Heat players ever to play for his system and Erik Spoelstra.

    Lebron James has always dealt with critics but the biggest component of his career is. He loves to win and chase championships whether it is with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Wade, Bosh, Luka Doncic, Shane Battier, Anthony Davis, Mike Miller, Rui Hachimura, and my favorite JJ Hickson!

    Lebron has a decision to make soon and recently suffered a MCL sprain.

  • Dolan and NBA Collide

    Dolan and NBA Collide

    James Dolan has been an outspoken figure in the New York community for well over two decades since the passing of his late father, Charles. He has taken over Madison Square Garden (MSG Networks) and rocked the place with memories which will last that include infuriating, Charles Oakley, standing pat with Isiah Thomas while no one else wanted to. Paying an excessive amount of money for stars such as Carmelo Anthony in particular to stay and become a household name.

    He has done so many things besides booing but most of all try to come up with a collective way of business despite his downfalls. His downfalls have been mainly shadowing an overbearing presence and suing many entities. That is not the point.

    The point is NBA commissioner Adam Silver is in bit of a triangle and I am not alluding to the one Jordan and Kobe played in. He has had to ruffle feathers mainly with more than one entity and that is challenging with the media rights deals to Amazon, NBC, and NBA TV. Shoes to the dealings of African league culture, WNBA, and G League action.

    He has breathed many things to nauseam as James Dolan could stand.

    Now we are led to believe the NBA will always be on top in the next 10 years with its new rights. I have got news. James Dolan is wrong/right.

    Dolan recently interjected if NBA revenue is kicking in quite fairly with $75 billion revenue and other total subjected gains. How come the league is boosting its budget towards the triangle(s) aforementioned and mainly allowing somewhat its competitor now, WNBA, to succeed two and a half times better than the NBA, and in the process alleviate Dolan of his duties?

    That can be frustrating for any big marketed owner of a team such as the New York Knicks as two worlds collide for something possibly better.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Russell Westbrook Did the Reverse of 200 Triple Doubles

    Russell Westbrook Did the Reverse of 200 Triple Doubles

    Russell Westbrook is a tremendous athletically gifted player. It is the reason he sharpened his way to 200 triple doubles amongst the likes of Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, and Nikola Jokic but if it were to be said defense played a factor in the age of basketball that does not equate Westbrook to attaining 200.

    It is a travesty for him to go out on these terms. He literally ran his way through the court like a NBA 2K videogame and zoom past defenders. Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and now Nikola Jokic play in an era where they deal with a boatload of traffic and defensive options. With Jokic, he has played sailor man for the Denver Nuggets and win them nonetheless a championship, multiple NBA All-Star nominations, and unforgettably three most valuable player awards.

    Ironically, Westbrook is pleading with Jokic and the Nuggets now. It is okay. Westbrook cowardly rose to 200 triple doubles and NBA Hall of Fame voters will take into account his early rise success with the Oklahoma City Thunder as being one factor but the loneliness of Kevin Durant being another.

    Andre Robertson dared did not have the punches to give to Durant. But all eyes on Westbrook were he stuck to the status quo which will most likely earn him a HOF vote and championship with coach Mike Malone showering in a Denver ceremonious parade once more.

    Russell Westbrook tried his way through multiple teams after OKC that let’s face it, will hang up a statue of him and possibly Durant of feasibly being torch bearers of the newly born franchise out of poor run Seattle but take into account this. Oscar Robertson could be disrespecting Westbrook right now if he stepped back on the court in the 2020’s of NBA basketball.

    Many NBA personnel helped Westbrook reach the satisfying landscape he claimed but someday there will be a successor, possibly Jokic.

    Jokie has learned to expand in many facets to pass, shoot, and escape unlike Westbrook in becoming the best player he possibly can be for the Denver Nuggets and city that lost Carmelo Anthony and found a way to sacrifice time and draft lower ranked prospects such as Jamal Murray and others.

    Team is key and that is what will drive Russell Westbrook to more triple doubles.

  • Why the Cavs will Slow

    Why the Cavs will Slow

    The Cleveland Cavaliers tend to slow. In a season where they have started 15-0, it is arduous to assume that but the Cavs have first of all copied cat their way through the competition with Golden States old blueprint and Bostons number is upcoming.

    Uh-oh. The defending champs might finally dethrone Cleveland in the NBA Cup but also Cleveland has played without star Donovan Mitchell and Mobley for periods of time. Mitchell brings a great skill asset in the drive swing offense to facilitate a cohesive unit with Darius Garland who recently scored 42 points against the Charlotte Hornets.

    It has been a high scoring paced action by Garland and Cleveland on the transitional break. They have led the league this year in three point shooting and the season cannot mean any better with Ty Jerome, Garland, and Mobley knocking it down.

    Although, what is to say the high scoring slows? Regardless, these Cavs have been hot. They have defeated the Bulls in four consecutive games recently and been on their best career winning streak since the king, Lebron James.
