Basketball DVDs Basketball News Nov. 7 2008 Run Down!!
What ’s up you basketball junkies did see Brandon Roy Game Winner Last Night And What’s Up With Stephon Marbury wanting to practice with his high school team and then went back on his comments today.
Lakers fans got a huge scare a couple night when Kobe Bryant hyper extended his knee maybe Nike should make him some better hyper dunks (JK). Kobe will be day to day and might play today against the Charlotte Bobcats the team he tweaked his knee against acouple nights ago. I’m Black Momba will playing tonight!!
Larry Hughes Hurt Again!!
It seems NBA veteran Larry Hughes was bit by the injury bug again last night while diving for a loose ball against the Timberwolves. This not good news for the Bulls because they need to complement the young point guard Derek Rose. Reports came out today saying Larry Hughes might have a dislocated elbow. Stay tuned on this one Bulls fans Mr. Rose will have grow up quick !
Greg Oden Get’s A Double-Double!!
Big Greg Oden got a double-double against the L.A. Clippers last night. Big Greg seems like he’s getting his playing leg’s under him. I really hope this double-double gives a good indication on what’s to come from the Portland big fella. I still vow til this day that Greg Oden will be rookie of year at the end of the NBA season. He’s big and strong and saw what the NBA has to offer while his fellow rookies where still in college. I can’t wait see him in the playoffs and hold up that rookie of year thropy.
Kobe Bryant led Team USA to victory at the end of game with pure guts and skill. It was classic Kobe hitting shots down the stretch to put Spain and to Rudy Fernandez out of the game to complete a four point play. Without Kobe I really don’t think team USA would have won the game, but must say key rebounds by Leborn James and Spain loosing it cool push the US over the top.
Gold Medal Mission Complete
Team USA came to China on a mission to complete what had eluded USA basketball for eith years. I think the name of Redeem is a understatement. The United States will always have the most talented players, but they don’t grow up dreaming about winning Olympic Gold they grow up wanting to win a NBA championship. Luis Scola was quoted “The Americans have learned how to Play FIBA brand of Basketball”. The keyword Learned. Team USA had to learn how to play a different style of basketball. The international game is physical they play a Detroit Pistons Bad Boy style ball. Team USA KEPT THEIR PROMISE WIN THE GOLD.
Did Team USA Almost Blow It In The Gold Medal Game
People might say Team USA might have also most blew the game, but I beg to differ. Championship games or the last game is the hardest to play. Spain had seven NBA players on their roster going against other NBA players. The US knew it was going to be a tough game. Navarro,Gasol ,Marc Gasol and Ricky Rubio faught hard for Spain and wanted to prove why they were World champs two years ago. I give Spain credit they proved that the 33 point blow out in pool play was not going to happen and gave the world a great show of how basketball should be played against the Americans. So to summarize my statement did Team USA almost blow it no they did not Spain is a really good international team that went out fighting to the end.
The Future Of USA Basketball
I have a question what will USA Basketball be like in the future and are we the King in basketball again. Some will say yes and some will say the rest of worl is still catching up. No matter what your answer was to my question the US will still dominate with the right leadership. Jerry Calangelo and Coach K kept these MEGA Millionaires ego’s in check and has set a new standard for USA Basketball. The future is bright for our men’s senior Basketball program. This will not be a trend and this group of young men has proven that the new generation of NBA players can go out and win the Gold Medal with class and substances. So I would like to thank Team USA Basketball for giving me some of best Basketball I ever seen over the last two weeks. If you like my post please subscribe to my feed.
