I find it highly illogical that when someone puts up an argument in regards to Kobe Bryant and it's not one that's going to shine a light positively on Kobe Bryant, his fans in a rush to pass judgment over you begin by calling you a "hater."
Their beliefs are that you do not believe thatáKobe is a great player, which isn't the case.áIt just happens thatáafter watching Kobe the ...
There's a recent slideshow that gave the list of five credentials for when Kobe Bryant retires on the reasons he will be the GOAT. If you haven't seen the slideshow it went toughness, work ethic, desire to win, basketball IQ, and talent.
By the time I read the slideshow there were 13 comments and 11 of them were agreeing. Well, I'm here to give you the five reasons why Kobe ...
Earth to Don Nelson: Stephen Curry Belongs on the Bench
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
I find it funny that the media has portrayed Monta Ellis' comments on playing in the same backcourt with Stephen Curryáas Ellis not being a team player.áThose comments, for some reason, make Ellis have aábad attitudeáthat could become a concern for the Warriors.
Yet, when you look at the full quote by Ellis, his actual explanation and reasons for not having Curry in the same backcourt for long periodsámakes perfect sense.á
Ellis's ...

A Look at Each NBA Franchise’s Leader in Three Pointers Made
Posted: 28th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
While I took a break from studying I typed "The NBA moves the three point line in and then back" into a Google search.
The second option was, "Can you name the all-time three point shooters for each of the 30 NBA teams."
I was confident that I would do well. At first I couldn't understand why none of the names I was putting in would go with the respective teams.
In actuality ...
Robert Rowell, Humor Doesn’t Suit You: Warriors Fans Aren’t Idiots
Posted: 28th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Robert Rowell must think Golden State Warriors fans are either idiots, drunk, or asleep at the wheel because Rowell's latest comments in regards to the Stephen Jackson situation were some the funniest things I've ever read.
Supposedly, according to the Yahoo article written by Janie McCauley, Rowell told Jackson he's committed to fielding a winning team.
Really, Mr. Rowell? You are claiming that you are fielding a winning team? May I ask, ...
The Art Of the Midrange Jumper Is All But Gone in The NBA
Posted: 28th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
I got into an interesting little argument about the fundamentals of basketball after a list came out of the top 10 fundamentally challenged players in the NBA. Although, I may have exaggerated on certain things there is the truth that the mid-range game of players is pretty much gone.
There's a quoteáby Pete Newell who arguablyáwas the greatest contributor to basketball that applies to today'sáNBA players and that quote is ...
San Francisco 49ers Robbed of a Chance to Go to Overtime
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NFL
The San Francisco 49ers were one play from a win over the Minnesota Vikings who are the most overrated football team in the NFL. What's sad is that the Vikings did not beat the 49ers today; the officials did.
In the second quarter the 49ers had gotten the Vikingsáto a third and long situation. Shawntae Spencer made a great play on the ball, but on the play there were two flags. ...

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Stephen Jackson wants to win! Who can blame him? When you're in the NBA your ultimate goal is to get that championship ring and right now Stephen Jackson realizes that the Golden State team he is on doesn't really possess the winning tradition or the capabilities of even competing for a playoff spot this year.
Yes, there are some exciting players on the team such as Monta Ellis, Anthony Randolph, Stephen ...
