Kobe Disrespected

According to ESPN, Kobe Bean Bryant is the 25^th best player in the NBA. This ranking is absurd, as a Los Angeles native; I grew up not being a Kobe Bryant fan.

I never enjoyed his antics off the court and his propensity to put down his teammates. As a fan of basketball, Bryant is by far one of the best players, I’ve ever seen play.

            ESPN is dismissing the career of Bryant and his season last year. The ranking is for the 2013-2014 season, but Kobe Bryant is still a top-ten player.

            Kobe does not fit in the top five anymore, but with 3 seconds left and down by one point, who would you rather have shooting the last shot?

           Kobe Bryant.

The years of winning multiple NBA championship is in the rear view mirror for Kobe. Bryant is in the twilight of his career, but this ranking will definitely add fuel to the fire.

This NBA season will be the passing of the torch from Kobe. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and Paul George are the present and future of the league.

Thank you Kobe for the years of passion for the game, but they’re next.

D.Rose Poised for MVP Season

MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN

Derrick Rose tightens his Adidas laces before he hits the hardwood in the house Jordan built.

Rose is the heir to throne of his Airness, Michael Jordan. Rose is the first Mvp, since Jordan retired a bull in 1998. Rose was unfairly criticized by sitting out the whole 2012-2013.

In pre-season, it seems that Rose knew exactly what he was doing sitting out the whole season. People around the league predicted Rose will never be as explosive as he was before. It was a sentiment felt throughout the league.

Rose looks poised to have another MVP type season. All the doubters will be proven wrong this year. As the Chicago Bulls will have a strong run in the 2014 NBA Playoffs.

Rose maybe the best player in the NBA. Rose will surpass Oklahoma City, small forward, Kevin Durant as the second best player in the league.

The Bulls, which will be led by Rose, will show the league why he is the aire to Jordan’s throne. 

Once In a Generation

            Wiggins explodes in an aerial assault on the Kansas Jayhawks rims. The number one pick in 2014 NBA draft is ready to unleash his superior talent for the whole country to witness.

            Wiggins stands at 6 feet 8 Inches and weighs in at 200 pounds. The Ontario, Canada native has been on the draft radar since he was a sophomore at Hunington Prep.

            The hype is real, Wiggins will be a transcendent player when he arrives in the NBA. There hasn’t been such buzz about a player since the 2004 draft which included Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dewayne Wade, and Chris Bosh.

            Wiggins has already graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, which passed the torch from Chamberlin to Manning to Wiggins.

            Wiggins will leave Kansas after his freshman year, but Kansas has the treat to see a future all-star this 2013-2014 season.

            Good luck to the Celtics,  Bobcats, Magic, and Hornets who are all in for the Wiggins sweepstake.

I'm Sick of 2nd Place

            In the new Sports Illustrated the King is crowned as the best player in the league. The last two years for Lebron James has been a coronation. James has won 2 NBA championships, 2 NBA finals MVPs, and 2 regular seasons MVPs.

            Kevin Durant came up short in the 2011 NBA finals, which he lost to James’ Miami Heat. Last year Durant and the Thunder lost in the second round of the playoffs. Now with the 2013 NBA season looming, Durant is ranked the number 2 player in the NBA by Sports Illustrated. Durant is the second best player in the NBA and might be third best player if Derrick Rose comes back healthy.          

            It’s not even close; Lebron James is on another stratosphere. James is clearly better than ever basketball player on the planet.   

            Durant is entering his seventh year in the league at the ripe old age of 25 years old. Durant is entering the prime of his career the only problem is Lebron James is in his prime. Kevin might have to deal with being second for the next five years.

            The Heat will be back stronger than ever trying to three-peat. Durant lost James Harden a year ago and just lost his replacement Kevin Martin. In the playoffs without a healthy Russell Westbrook, Durant looked lost at times. Durant won’t achieve best player in the league until James relinquishes it.
