  • What to Learn from Lebron James

    What to Learn from Lebron James

    James is tenacious, gritty, and old for his age in basketball. He has played professionally since he came out of high school. He is a menace at the rim and still dunks spectacularly at times.

    Fans can say what they want about James but one thing is certain. The Los Angeles Lakers are 3-0 to start their season for the first time since 2010-11 and things are looking up with Bronny James alongside.

    This was never part of the plan but Bronny got itched into the situation. Bronny has averaged one rebound and a couple missed shots and there is now talk he will join the NBA G League.

    Coincidence?

    Lebron finished yesterday with 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists and has competed with a fairly decent schedule. The next game is against Phoenix again and at 39 years old, Lebron James is still teaching everybody.

  • ‘Until We Meet Again’

    ‘Until We Meet Again’

    “From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the best times of my life,” Klay Thompson wrote. “It was such an honor to put that Dubs jersey on from Day 1. I really just wanted to be the best I could be and help bring as many championships as possible to the region.”

    Thompson consciously talking a game about championships. Fitting.

    Thompson, Draymond Green, and Stephen Curry saw the writing on the wall when general manager Bob Myers resigned and joined ESPN analysis. All of them formed a cohesive bond that will forever be cherished in the minds and souls of Dubs fans.

    As for professional legacy, Thompson is not done. However, he will retire his Warriors jersey effective as of this year and be honored for all his worthy accomplishments averaging a career 41.3% 3pt as a movement shooter.

    He contributed to Curry’s and his own success quite tremendously. He fed off Green’s late arrival at Golden State and smart instincts to develop cohesively around the rookie coach and long-time guru, studying around Phil Jackson and Greg Popovich, Steve Kerr.

    It was determined Kerr might join the New York Knicks but he wrote the silver lining and suspected Thompson and others. Thompson is now a Dallas Maverick and will join forces with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

    Thompson is 34 years old but for now, check, please. ‘Until we meet again.” Thompson said.

  • Lakers Draft Bronny James

    Lakers Draft Bronny James

    The Los Angeles Lakers drafted the son of multi-time champion Lebron James, Bronny James, with the 55th overall pick. Many draft analysts had projected James to go later in the draft and with GM Rob Pelinka’s connection to those higher up in the Lakers organization. The Lakers jumped the gun and drafted USC and now NBA star Bronny.

    Bronny only worked out for two teams. The Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. But expressed his desire to showcase himself in the NBA Combine and return from a cardiac arrest injury that impressively landed him in the latter part of the draft. Bronny and Lebron James are now teammates.

  • There’s a New Goat-ee in Miami

    There’s a New Goat-ee in Miami

    He may not run as pretty or be brought to fame or glory through a prominent high school but Jaime Jacquez Jr. in just his first season has turned heads. Most particularly, for his management to stay poised for an outside lottery pick from last year’s NBA Draft.

    Let it be known, that Lebron James was once the king of Miami. He even conceded on the Mind the Game with JJ Redick most recently that he wishes there was a rewind button to 2012 when James captured his first-ever NBA title. But that’s neither here nor there.

    Jacquez has developed a good relationship and rapport with teammates very quickly and become a popular celebrity amongst singing stars. He is a popular target on the court when looking for the three-ball as only a rookie.

    The Heat have dealt with a misfortune of injuries and losses but Jacquez Jr. has been there in critical moments to erase doubt of missing the playoffs and brightening the future. With Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler under contract, Miami can certainly work off Jacquez’s college impressive track record and hard work entering the NBA.

    He is a former Pac-12 Player of the Year and helped UCLA tremendously before leaving. Ironically, his father always bequeathed the ethos of Pat Riley. Now, Jacquez is receiving a piece of humble pie once more with Riley and his own win-now culture in Miami.

    Jacquez Jr. is averaging 12.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 2.6 AST. He is not fairly averaging the best numbers beyond the arc but he will persevere. He has improved from the post, and court vision and needs to always keep an ear for what his father says which is hustle.

    There is a lot of reason to believe Jacquez Jr. was not thrown into a deal for Damian Lillard or any other superstar. He could not be happier in Miami on the East Coast and lead as the new goat-ee of Miami going forward.

  • Fear the Deer

    Fear the Deer

    The Milwaukee Bucks compiled a 30-13 record and fired new head coach Adrian Griffin. It came as a bit of a shock to the media but not around the league. It was a true send-off to the incoherent vibes felt in Milwaukee.

    Hence enters Doc Rivers. Rivers voices at his press conference almost a quiet disdain for the lack of aggressiveness on Milwaukee’s end. It is called, ‘This could not have come anytime soon enough.’

    The Bucks are on the cusp of something special. They may not be too far off but they have coherence based on their net rating– 10th in the NBA. Add in the excitement on offense with Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. They have the third-best offensive rating, scoring 120.1 points per 100 possessions.

    The Bucks are on a clear mission this year. Enter the playoffs this year and make it prestigiously sound with Doc Rivers. Rivers does not seem too far intentionally vague when he mentions.

    It is another time to now, ‘Fear the Deer,’
