Don’t Call It Hate, Call It Being A Realist

Posted: 4th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
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 ...

5 Reasons Why Kobe Will Never Be the GOAT

Posted: 3rd October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
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 ...

Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan Headline a Select Club

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
In the NBA there's a club of 11 players who belong to a certain club. There have been players who have done this feat in a season once and there are two players who have done the feat six times. This club is of NBA players who have throughout an entire season, averaged over 30 points per game, grabbed over five rebounds per game, and averaged five assists per game. Currently there ...
Major News about Prince Fielder has come out stating that he is on the trading block and now would be the perfect time for the young A's to pick up a proven power hitter and if it means trading away some prospects then so be it!

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.
