Steve Kerr accepts Golden State Coaching Vacancy

Congratulations to former NBA sharp shooter and current NBA analyst for TNT Steve Kerr for being named the new head coach for the Golden State Warriors. This was a better fit for Kerr rather than the New York Knicks simply because Golden State already has a better ball club. Not sure what the Knicks President Phil Jackson wants to do with this organization but they need to clean house quick!!!! Good luck in the Bay Area Coach Kerr.

Your version of the crossover has changed the way point guards dribble today. Here's a tribute you the victims you've abused with your deadly crossover.

Chicago Bulls 2012-2013 Season Recap

Boiled peanuts were the ceremonious gift

The Chicago Bulls just concluded their 2012-2013 season by losing to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals  four games to one. The most amazing part about that series is the Bulls won the first game with the former MVP Derrick Rose whose still recovering from a torn ACL. Luol Deng and Kirk Hindrich also sat out due to injuries. With three marquee players out and the Chicago Bulls won a game was very impressive and shows how good of a coach Tom Thibodeau is. Coach Thibodeau did more with less and deserved coach of the year instead of George Karl of Denver. Personally I wanted the Bulls to tank the season and get a lottery pick in the up coming NBA Draft but instead the Bulls worked hard and defeated the Brooklyn Nets in a grueling seven game first round series then defeated the defending champions Miami Heat in the first game before dropping the next four.

Going into the 2013-2014 season the Chicago Bulls should not only challenge the Miami Heat for NBA supremacy but surpass them as the best team in basketball. With an improved back-court which starts with Derrick Rose (welcome back) and Jimmy Butler (most improved) along with an all-star front-court Boozer, Deng, Noah equals best record and NBA Finals appearance. If Marquis Teague learns how to attack the basket he could be a great addition along with an improved Taj Gibson as the backup power forward.

I know it's early but I'm calling it the Chicago Bulls will win the NBA Title 2013-2014 season!!!!!!

NBA Post Season - Eastern Conference

Well first off let me congratulate the Miami Heat for winning the 2011 NBA Title. Once the new Big Three lead by the regular season and NBA Finals MVP LeBron James defeated the Oklahoma Thunder (which has a Big 3 nucleus of their own) in five games, they went into free agency and reloaded. Ten years ago they were teammates in Seattle now they're reunited in Miami. The edition on Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis gives the Heat more scoring options if James, Wade, and Bosh are double teamed. General Manager Pat Riley still             needs to address his ball club's bench but then again, their week bench are NBA Champions.

Who is the best team in the Big Apple? My vote goes to the Brooklyn Nets formerly of New Jersey. Not only did they keep superstar point guard Deron Williams, but they also pulled off a trade to land all-star shooting guard Joe Johnson from the Atlanta Hawks. They backcourt is one of the best in the league and they have yet to play a game together. Keeping Gerald Wallace and re-signing Brook Lopez was also a step in the right direction as I believe Brook Lopez will turn into a better center than Jokim Noah & Andrew Bynum. Their counter part New York Knicks have also made impact signings but which version of New York Knicks will show up. Today the Knicks signed Raymond Felton and last week inked future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd from Dallas. Kidd no longer possesses the same speed as he did the last time he played on the East Coast but his court vision is still the same. If they're offense turns stagnant once Carmelo Anthony gets the ball, they'll remain the Knicks.

My Chicago Bulls drafted ultra quick point guard Marquis Teague  to temporally replace Derrick Rose. Drafted Teague is a steal. Both Rose & Teague had the same college coach and had the same pro-style system while in school. Last week the Bulls agreed to resign Captain Kirk which could be a good and bad thing for Marquis. Signing Hinrich is temporary until Rose return from and ACL injury but hopefully Kirk will come off the bench for Marquis Teague. I'm finally glad CJ Watson is gone to New Jersey but hopefully they can re-sign Kyle Korver for his deadly shooting. The 2012-2013 is washed but lookout for the Bulls to challenge Miami once a healthy MVP Derrick Rose returns.

It's been a while I've been busy traveling the west coast along with working on several political campaigns but I'M BACK!!!!! Where to begin with basketball. It's been so long that the college basketball season is over, the high school all stars games are wrapping up, the NBA Playoffs are about to begin and several teams will be Gone Fishin' next week.

Congratulations to the Kentucky Wildcats for winning the NCAA Title. This team was built for this year only as Coach Cal aka One&Done reloaded with a trio of freshmen All-American led by Anthony Davis, Marcus Teague, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. This Tuesday the starting 5 of the Kentucky all declared for the NBA and as a result, all five are 1st round picks and Coach Cal will reload with a brand new crop of freshmen. Plus NC State transfer Ryan Harrow will run the point next season. For next season in college hoops, I'm looking forward to seeing Shabazz Muhammad play for UCLA.

The NBA Draft Lottery takes place next month and unlike the 2011 Draft, this years draft class is one of the most in-dept draft class in years!!!!! Plenty of talent all around and I'll blog about the draft and NBA Playoffs next round Peace!!!!!!
