  • Jalen Brunson Turning Heads

    Nico Harrison was big news to the public when the Dallas Mavericks first let him go of his duties as a general manager. As a former Nike executive, he oversaw one of the biggest trades in the 21st century by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. Doncic had such a big year by leading the league in points and converting 47.6% of his field goals.

    Doncic is truly an international legend, already, but besides him, Nico Harrison, and the newest plug to the Mavericks front office, former ESPN analyst Mike Schmitz. Jalen Brunson is turning heads in this year’s NBA postseason.

    Say what you want about Doncic, Harrison, and Schmitz, but Brunson has taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in the postseason and keeps adding to the load of potential the Knicks came off last year between the Indiana Pacers.

    If the Sixers series were to be over today (which is possible), the Knicks would face either the Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pistons have a 2-1 lead.

    But, talk about the load of potential on Brunson. He has converted 86.4% of his free throws and is the 3rd leading PPG postseason scorer. Him and Karl Anthony Towns have been consistent without OG Anunoby in the lineup and seem to be just having fun lighting up the garden, especially the media.

    No better days could mean Mike Brown is not on the hot seat.

  • Which Firing was too Late to Call Between Harrison and Daboll?

    Lots of buzz has been surfacing over the past couple days regarding Brian Daboll and former Nike executive Nico Harrison. It has rubbed certain people the wrong way in consideration of the huge impact spread across both the NFL and NBA.

    Daboll was, once, a NFL Head coach with certain things he laid down for the players. He tried to work hand-in-hand with GM Joe Schoen and come up with a collective on first-year quarterback, Jaxson Dart. Dart injured his head into a serious concussion over the course of time and some say this definitely affected Daboll’s job status after, even, losing RB Cameron Skattebo.

    Daboll won two significant games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers but after that, things seem to falter. There was always some potential to be made out of the regime, especially combo, Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.

    Former NFL quarterback Mike Kafka steps in as interim coach, while shenanigans are thrown at Nico Harrison of the Dallas Mavericks.

    Is it justifiable to say Harrison had a more bad rep? The answer is, yes.

    Do not take it seriously Giants fans when it is optimistic to say there is much where that came from in terms of New York’s success. Dallas has to start all over begging for help in the mercy of not following through with hot sensation right now out of Slovenia and Los Angeles, Luka Doncic.

    Maybe it had something to do with ego in the Mavericks front office. Harrison made an awful mistake with a rookie now who is currently third in the NBA Rookie of the Year race.

    Doncic is averaging 37.1 pts, 9.4 reb, and 9.1 ast without Lebron James in the Lakers lineup.
