Just a quick post for tonight. I’ll be honest I was watching Wake Forest and LSU instant classic of pitching due yesterday. While that was going on though was the NBA draft.

Former Georgia Tech star PG Jose Alvarado is making the most of NBA opportunities and shined for New Orleans Pelicans in a recent game. Absolute must-watch for @GTMBB …

Superstars: Michael Jordan, LeBron James… Luka Dončić? Basketball is a team sport. At the same time, though, it is the team sport that can most easily be dominated by a single player. While a starting pitcher can dominate a single game of baseball, they only pitch every five days, and a batter only comes to …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. Nine months ago we asked on this blog if Lebron James was still the NBA’s best player? It was the Laker’s Lebron James, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, or LA Clipper’s Kawhi Leonard. We’re down to the Final 4 in the NBA playoffs, and Lebron James is the only one still standing. …

What in the world would we do without sports? I’m not referring to replacing our time watching the recently canceled or postponed events that have left the sports world dark.

Magic Johnson, more than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Jamaal Wilkes and Coach Pat Riley, defined the “Showtime Lakers” of the 1980s. Now, …

Consistent greatness is fun. Dominance by just a few teams can make for great theater. Absolute forgone conclusion dominance becomes boring, and it’s bad for that sport especially any fringe fans. When UCONN was on their incredible run of dominance winning 4 straight national titles, I don’t think I watched a women’s basketball game for …
