ŠVEĐO: "Žao mi je, znam da nisam anđeo, molim još jednu šansu" (SN)..



MICHAEL JORDAN 1990/44 points in 3 Quarters vs Warriors: Don Nelsons coaching philosophy is playing small ball. he doesn't like big centers. He likes to run and gun. He inherited players in Milwaukee that played defense and where big. But when Nelson gets the chance to change the roster hell change it to his offensive oriented philosophy. Look at all his teams he coached and the proof is in the team stats. He preaches a fast pase type of offense and builds his teams around this philosophy instead of building around defensive players.

Jučer smo se dotaknuli "gone with the wind" vikend-pojava u hrvatskoj košarci...

Ipak according to SN Markota se ispovijedio, Callowey se pojavio, a Aco i dalje ne može smisliti Becka...
BTW nije li Romel Beck Meksikanac, a ne Amerikanac??

Zadržati ću se na Šveđinom slučaju: nisam znao da je i u profesionalnoj košarci tako lagano dati otkaz nekome kada znate da HZZ u Zvonimirovoj NE vrvi talentiranim krilnim centrima koji mogu skočiti do vrha table i zabiti svaku drugu tricu s osam metara, a u protekle su dvije sezone igrali na prestižnim terenima Amerike, Rusije i Litve.

Dakle voljeli mi ili ne Šveđu, Callowaya i Becka moramo ih prihvatiti i kao ljude koji žive u jednom kompleksnom svijetu i da su stvari takve kakve jesu, a da bi treneri koliko ja znam između ostaloga morali biti solidni psiholozi i pedagozi. Aco & Perase, nije li scouting report novih pojačanja uključivao i njihovu psihološku crtu ili se to uzelo pod "bogom dano"?

Što bi sada trebali napraviti? Nisam plaćen da to kažem, ali otkaz je posljednji na listi opcija. Odgovorni klupski čelnici bi trebali uzeti time-out, razmisliti i pronaći mnogo kvalitetnija rješenja.

Najlakše je trošiti novac kada ga imaš, a fali strpljenja, povjerenja i tolerancije...

Goodbye J-Will...



JASON WILLIAMS A.K.A. WHITE CHOCOLATE: došao je u NBA 20 godina nakon Magica Johnsona i uz Cousya, Stocktona i Pricea postao jedan od najboljih bijelih playeva svih vremena. "Showtime" igrač koji nikada nije postao all-star zbog defanzivnih propusta, u zadnjih je nekoliko sezona igrajući uz Wadea dokazao da je istinska klasa, te osvojio naslov 2006. Nakon 10 Godina u Ligi koljena nažalost nisu izdržala...
PURE SHOOTER/VOSHON LENARD


Više riječi o bogatoj Jasonovoj karijeri tijekom idućeg tjedna...

Ako J bude organizirao oproštaljku budite sigurni da će među prvima biti pozvan Vlade Divac, koji je krajem prošlog tjedna posjetio Muzej Dražena Petrovića u društvu Ivice Todorića...

Nedaleko muzeja bilo je i okupljanje Cibonine ekipe prije recent tripa u Rusiju, na koji je Damir Markota a.k.a. Šveđo nehotice zakasnio. Dakle ne radi se o "gone with the wind" tipu izostanka...

NEVER TIRED FOR THE COMEBACK: Allan Houston signs, will try another Knicks comeback...



This dude catches it off the backboard and windmills it, a la Vince Carter's famous charity game slam.
Doesn't quite get the extension, but still one of the sickest in game oops ever.

23 ways to make them pay...FROM MID-COURT!!!



MICHAEL JORDAN/HALF-COURT SHOTS AND JUMPSHOTS
EUROLEAGUE 2007-08/Lietuvos Rytas Top 10 Plays
EUROLEAGUE 2007-08/FC Barcelona Top 10 Plays
PXH SUNS/Dragić Joins Informal Workouts


Well this is a small compilation of MJ, making shots from mid-court...

The most amazing thing, is that apart from the first one, which happens in practice, all the other shots are jump shots, and there's also one where he double pumps before releasing the ball...

Jordan demonstrates his incomparable athletic abilities on these shots...

Once again, enjoy the best ever...His airness from center court!!! Sick!!!

The first shot is in 1995, in Madison Square Garden (practice)...Just before the infamous 55 point game against the New York Knicks, in his unforgetable come back...

The second one is in 1993, in Utah, against the Jazz, facing Karl Malone and John Stockton...

The third one is in 1993, in Chicago against the Atlanta Hawks...Check out Dominique Wilkins as he reacts to Jordan's half court shot...

The fourth one is in 1986, in Chicago against the Boston Celtics, in a shootout game between Mike and legendary Larry Bird...

The fifth one is in 1997, in Seattle, against the Supersonics, in the infamous George Karl game...

Special thanks to the guys that keep uploading videos showing Jordan's artistry, in youtube...

Have fun...

Follow young Earvin from the driveway where his father taught him the game, to high school, and then to Michigan State, where his Spartan team famously beat Larry Bird's Indiana State team in the 1979 NCAA championship game.

The action quickly moves to the NBA and Johnson's storied career with the Lakers - playing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy - vanquishing first Julius Erving and the 76ers, then Bird and the Celtics, on the way to five championships and the birth of a great dynasty.

DAVID KALB SHOT SELECTION/ROOF ROOF - goes off the roof at the warehouse.


A nice point from the past:

Doron Jamchi was one of Israel's best basketball players, a great shooter, rated by many as Israel's 2nd best (to the great Miki Berkovitch).

Apparently he was a bit of a looser, too, loosing 4 times at the European championship finals with Maccabi Tel Aviv (1987, 1988, 1989, 2000).

Not surprisingly, he had only 2 last second winning shots throughout his career, and both came against Croatian teams. Look here & here.

SPECIAL EDITION: WOODY & WESLEY feat. DAVID KALB vs LeBRON JAMES...



CROHOOPS.COM proudly presents WOODY & WESLEY feat. DAVID KALB vs LeBRON JAMES


Sixteen years ago, the legendary basketball court in Venice Beach (L.A.) became the part of the legendary street-ball movie "White men can't jump" starring Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes.

A couple of days ago, on the same court, Olympic gold medalist and NBA superstar LeBron James was challenged by warehouse worker David Kalb in the basketball game known as H-O-R-S-E.

This basketball battle of epic proportions was the new millennium edition of one of the moovie's most famous scenes.

In the end, the total underdog, but well-trained, Kalb gained planetary popularity and a chance to hopefully sign a couple of endorsement deals...

Per aspera ad astra!

WHITE MEN CAN SHOOOT: Ex-Wynford standout David Kalb outshoots LeBron James...



LeBron James can have his gold medal. At least for a day, former Wynford High School standout David Kalb took the King’s crown. Fresh from an overpowering performance in the Beijing Olympics, James finally met his match back on home soil as Kalb swept him in a best-of-three game of H-O-R-S-E. The two squared off Wednesday on an legendary outdoor court in Venice Beach after Kalb won an online contest, “LeBron’s Trick Shot Challenge”.
