UK Wildcats vs. Drexel Dragons + Rupp + 12.21.09 = Jamal Mashburn

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:06:17 +0000

Wishing peace and much love to the UK family, I am indeed coming home to call what could be the historic 2000th win for the UK Wildcats on ESPNU. It seems appropriate to do so. This is the beauty, and excitement of UK basketball. I can come back as an alumni, fan, and broadcaster to the place that started it all for me. Oddly, it feels like only yesterday I was playing for the diehards of the Blue and White. In a place where there is a new era in coaching, it can only be surpassed by the culture and environment provided by the support of winners, the fans of UK basketball. I’ll stop here an expect to see UK “fandemonium” on Monday night. FANDEMONIUM!!!!!!!!

Orlando Magic – Review of NBA Finals and the Future

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:04:00 +0000

Magic have no reason to hang their heads. They had a tremendous run throughout the playoffs beating the defending champs in the Celtics and this year’s heavy favorites (Editor’s note: Cleveland Cavaliers) to compete for a championship this year. Lack of experience on the big stage hurt them, turnover issue and inconsistent point guard play did them in as well. Hedo Turkoglu must be signed in the off season if he decides to become a free agent this off season. Magic also need to sign a legit power forward to help Dwight Howard on the boards. As good as Howard is, he must refine his post up game and work on free throw shooting so he can really become a dominant force late in the games. I will cut him some slack, he is only 23 years old. Magic are a young team and a better team when Jameer Nelson is healthy. It will be interesting next year: does point guard Rafer Alston want to play a back-up role for a championship contending team or a staring role on a lesser caliber team?

Analysis: Lakers NBA Champions 2009

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:14:43 +0000

Lakers had too much talent and experience for the Orlando Magic. Role players such as Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza played to a higher level in this year’s Finals. Pau Gasol in my mind answered the question: “Is he tough enough?” He guarded and out-played one of the best big men in the game: Dwight Howard. Can’t forget Kobe, winning his first title as the undisputed team leader, 4 rings for Kobe and his 1st Finals MVP award. Lakers have a young team (excluding Fisher), their window is wide open to win multiple titles in years to come. Questions for them to address in the off season in order to remain a championship contender will be the future of head coach Phil Jackson: “Will he return?” He’s won his 10th championship. Will he ride into the sunset as the best coach in NBA history? Who will the Lakers keep Lamar Odom or Trevor Ariza? They are both free agents and valuable pieces to the core of the Lakers.
