NBA scouti su odšetali iz K-Statea s mnogim plusevima na njegovom kontu u svojim bilježnicama. Nažalost, svoje je Draft izglede neozbiljnim nastupom (šut: 0-14) ozbiljno narušio 6'5'' Bill Walker...
WAYMAN TISDALE, ex-NBA POWER FORWARD: "WAY UP"...
Vrijedi spomenuti da NCAA klupe i rosteri vrve ex-NBA imenima, te sinovima poznatih igrača. Tako je na ovoj utakmici svoju minutažu solidno odradio Ron Anderson, imenjak SVOJEG NBA OCA...
Pitam se da li je ex-centar Bucksa svojevremeno prilikom odabira imena sinu konzultirao frontcourt suparnika iz Celticsa, BIlla Waltona, koji je sinu također dao ime Luuuuke...
Gledao sam danas na NASN-u reprizu međudržavnog NCAA derbija Memphisa(1) & Tennesseea(2), ODLIČNA TEKMA.
Dečki svi odreda odlični šuteri. Izdvojio bih bez posebnog razloga JaJuana Smitha, zabio je stvarno par rainbow trica preko ruke. At the very end, T-Volunteers su ipak imali više petlje, te su preuzeli nacionalni "TOP 25" NCAA primat...
The Bulls came out & dismantled the young Nets, that featured a rookie by the name of Derrick Coleman, & a foreign recruit by the name of Drazen Petrovic (R.I.P).
Coleman, for all of his gifts, could've, in the words of C. Barkley: "been one of the Greatest, if not "THE" Greatest Power Forward "EVER".." This guy was 6'10, a lefty, which made it difficult to guard him.
He had a game with his back to the glass, he could handle the rock like a guard. He could take you off the dribble in either direction & shoot it from 15 ft & out. He was the real deal..
ZAGREB vs ZVEZDA 84:82 - 4th QUOTER HIGHLIGHTS: Hrvoje Kovačević scores 9 points and takes down FOUR offensive boards (along with TWO on defensive end) in just 13 MINUTES of court action!
Unfortunately, he seemed to love the lifestyle that being an NBA player afforded him, more than the game itself, which led to his demise.
He simply lacked the discipline & dedication to the game to excel. Not to mention his attitude was a lot like many of player in today's NBA...LOUSY!!
Petrovic, like Reggie Miller & like Rip Hamilton is today, was a "Textbook" shooter of the screens.
But unlike those guys, if things bogged down, he'd put it on the floor & "STRONGLY" take you to the rack.
I've seen him "Light Up" many of the leagues BEST 2-Guards in both fashions...including MJ. But this night, MJ just took all of their guards out of the game with his strong play..

Neke od stvari koje sam ostao dužan posljednjih dana...
Shammgod u Cedeviti. Marketinški nedvojbeno zanimljivo ime koje će dovesti u Podsused barem nekoliko stotina navijača više. Koliko može Shammgod na terenu? Vidjeti ćemo. Moja očekivanja su da je i dalje odličan dribler s još istančanijim feelingom za asitenciju. Šut? Zbog toga i tako nije doveden, Cedevita na distanci ima Milačića, Rimca i Dujmovića. Enigmom ostaje zašto je proveo cijelo jedno desetljeće igrajući po Poljskoj i Aziji...U svakom slučaju probati ću ga dobiti za interview, već znate mene...
Košarka u medijima - What's happening? Vjerojatno se narod razočarao u raspodjelu ulaznica za nogometno EP, pa su se mediji još više okrenuli "sporednim" sportovima poput "kraljice sportova". Vratimo se par tjedana unazad: prvo je Jutarnji pokrenuo nagradnu igru "Zašto volim NBA?", zatim je HRT iz vjetrom ispražnjenog Doma Dražena Petrovića prenosio cro-derby NLB lige, da bi šlag na košarkašku tortu u veljači došao izborom Zorana Čuture za najboljeg hrvatskog sportskog novinara. Tempus fugit, i po x-ti put bih poručio kolegama koji su se 'usidrili u Maksimiru da dignu sidru i za dobrobit hrvatskog sporta & društva kruh otiđu zaraditi negdje drugdje.
NBA Trade Deadline. Većina contendera se još više pojačala pod košem. Jučer su Spursi jednostavno morali odgovoriti Lakersima & Sunsima, te su doveli veterana Kurta Thomasa. Moja ocjena tog tradea je da se radi o čistom kozmetičkom krpanju, Kurt Thomas nije lijek za Shaqa & Gasola anymore. Noćas je GM Cavaliersa Danny Ferry, koji je inače kao student Dukea nastupao na Univerzijadi u Zagrebu 1987., 'pet do dvanaest povukao prekidač i zgasio svjetlo na istoku. Cavsi su dovođenjem Big Bena, pa makar i uz cijenu pola rostera, sada glavni favorit za ponovno osvajanje Istoka i jedina istočna ekipa koja se može nositi s gorostasnim zapadnim contenderima. Mark this words...
Kidd & Nowitzki? Moram priznati da su mnoge od mojih misli nastale tijekom telefonske konverzacije s kolegom T-Pakracom iz magazina "Superkošarka". To što izlazimo jednom mjesečno ne znači da ne pratimo što se događa all the time. Anyway, naša je ocjena da Kiddov povratak u Dallas jednostavno nije u rangu ostalih tradeova koji su se dogodili, te da će u nevjerojatno jakoj konstalaciji snaga na Zapadu kombinacija Kidd & Nowitzki biti dostatna tek za ulazak u doigravanje. Ako ne vjerujete, provjerite tko sve nastupa na zapadu. BTW, kolega Pakrac me je podsjetio da je coach Avery Johnson nakon prošlogodišnjeg doigravanja zamolio Cubana da razmijeni MVP-a kako bi otišli korak dalje, ali su Mavsi ipak Cubanovi, a on je dugogodišnji prijatelj s Dirkom...
Go figure it. U svakom slučaju na ovom komunikacijskom kanalu sutra počinje nagradna igra "Zašto volim Košarku?".
Propozicije i atraktivne nagrade su u pripremi...
THIS SUMS IT UP: God wasn't the best jump shooter, but that didn't matter because he had humiliating, And1 quality crossovers that left defenders looking like they had one Crown 'n' Coke too many.
Nakon što se ipak brže-bolje domogao Jasona Kidda kao žedan vode u teksaškoj pustinji, te zadržao Deveana Georgea, HE SUES UFC. Radi se o borilačkim sportovima, I am not into that...
U kontekstu Kukočevog nedjeljnog gostovanja kod Stankovića, moram priznati da sam se prisjetio jednog od prvih Čuturinih novinarskih izvješća, koje datira još iz igračkih dana, negdje tamo u period kasnih priprema za SP u Argentini '90.
Ne mogu se točno prisjetiti dnevnih novina za koje je izvijestio, i ne kopa mi se sada po prašini na tavanu, ali išlo je something like this:
"I dok Vam pišem o snazi naše reprezentacije, ne mogu vjerovati...
Toni Kukoč je upravo zabio koš iz ležećeg položaja...
Da, bili su suigrači, Kuki ekstra svjetska klasa, a Čutura zahvalan ekipni igrač kakvih nam dan danas itekako fali u društvu silnih MTV zvjezdica bez pokrića...
EASTERN STATEMENT: King James crowned NBA All Star MVP for the second time...
ONE FOR THE HISTORY: LeBron on Dirk, All Star Game 2008. Explanation Point. Jasna poruka cro-reprezentativcima kako se napada njemački koš kada pod njim stoji MVP NBA lige.
When the NBA All-Star Game had reached the cusp of winning and losing, LeBron James stopped for a fleeting moment and momentarily considered the path of least resistance.
Perhaps with Amare Stoudemire defending him, James could simply shoot one more jumper Sunday night. The clock had just dipped inside the final minute, the ball was in his hands and the ultimate truth was that it wouldn't be long until those Western stars would be running back to stacked teams, until the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons would return East with the thickest rosters in the conference.
It wouldn't be long until James was fighting those long odds with the Cleveland Cavaliers again and perhaps everyone should understand how that shapes his thinking, how that sharpens his greatness. No, LeBron James doesn't do the path of least resistance.
Yes, maybe LeBron James could've let one more long jumper go, but the All-Star Game was tied, and James was probing with the ball across midcourt with the deep-seeded knowledge that no one in the game is harder to stop as a pure physical phenomenon. It takes profound basketball courage to step into his way, and James kept going now, kept that dribble drive alive and a thought flashed to his mind in the moment with Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki on the move.
"When I (saw) those bigs coming, I didn't want to lay the ball up," James said.
So, he dribbled hard and gathered himself and it was clear that no one had the stomach to stop James when he wanted to make the East's 134-128 victory his own. Stoudemire had been left in his wake, Duncan stopped short and Nowitzki ducked out of the way and James rising and rising and rising until he pushed Nowitzki down with his left hand and thundered the ball through the rim with his right.
It wouldn't be long until these pulsating final minutes of this fabulous All-Star Game ultimately belonged to the genius of its Most Valuable Player with 27 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. It wouldn't be long until commissioner David Stern passed him his second trophy at 23 years old, and the world would see who the star of stars was again at New Orleans Arena.
"LeBron is a freight train when he goes to that basket," West coach Byron Scott sighed. "He's so big, and so strong – so quick and so powerful. It's hard to stop him when he gets the momentum going like that."
His singular peer on the planet, Kobe Bryant, made a brief appearance for the West and quickly retired to the bench with his busted up pinkie. When the All-Star Game traded foolery in the fourth quarter, James had the final minutes on a yo-yo. He started the night tossing lob dunks to Dwight Howard and turned to sharp-shooting Ray Allen in the fourth. In a season when the Western Conference has never been so superior, the great equalizer turned out to be James, who makes a living doing more with less in Cleveland.
In the flurry of trades that have changed the landscape of the league, James delivered an unmistakable message: "When the postseason comes, you've got to come get it from us."
What James means is this: You've got to come get it from me. Everyone else is getting new toys with the trade deadline approaching Thursday, but it looks like James is stuck with his perpetually pedestrian supporting cast in Cleveland. Yes, the Cavaliers made it to the NBA Finals a year ago, but everyone understands there was an element of smoke and mirrors, that standing pat in the Eastern Conference promised to be perilous with the transformation in Boston and with tweaks in Detroit.
Over the summer, LeBron, Bryant and Jason Kidd were grumbling teammates with Team USA. Bryant wanted out of Los Angeles. Kidd wanted a trade to Cleveland. And James just wanted someone to share the burden with him. Well, the two point guards whom Cleveland GM Danny Ferry had tried to obtain for two years – Kidd and Mike Bibby – are on the way to Dallas and Atlanta.
When those stars left Las Vegas over the summer, they talked glumly about returning to teams with unworthy talent. Now, James leaves New Orleans and nothing's changed in Cleveland. Ferry has tried tirelessly to find him a point guard, but the Cavaliers have uninspired young talent and veteran contracts that won't expire for two years, leaving little value now.
When most of his All-Star pals are making runs with new teams and new toys, it's back to reality for LeBron James. There are so many better teams in the NBA now, but it gets harder and harder to make the case that there's a better player.
ABS EXCLUSIVE - YINKA DARE INTERVIEW 1993 W/ ERICA COLLINS: Yinka enabled me to do this interview before any major news networks to add to my broadcast tape portfolio. A dear friend who is missed went on to play for the NJ Nets NBA and passed away in January 2004 at age of 32.
In his job, James is forever required to take the hard road to victory and that is so much of the reason he had the ball in the final moments Sunday night, with an improbable victory over the West within reach. James looked at those two 7-footers and another just two inches shy, and understood that he was going to the rim, that he was going hard and daring someone to stop him. Once again, LeBron James doesn't do the path of least resistance.
ALL STAR SUNDAY @ NEW ORLEANS: Prijenos LIVE na OBN-u (01.15)...
MICHAEL JORDAN 1997. - FIRST GAME vs SHAQ & KOBE LAKERS, 30 PTS: MJ će danas u New Orleansu proslaviti 45. rođendan, a njegov suigrač Toni Kukoč će gostovati kod Aleksandra Stankovića...
If I remember correctly, I believe MJ had one of his all-night-golf outings before this game which was one reason why his shot might have eluded him this night. This game was interesting in that MJ was meeting Shaq in LA for the first time. On a side note, the appetizer was a very young and skinny Kobe Bryant who was given 10 minutes in his first ever game against his idol. And as MJ greeted a rookie Shaq in Orlando in their first meeting with a block, MJ welcomed the future star to a modest dunk in their very first matchup (the 2nd meeting is also uploaded on my channel).
But the story of the game was the game. The Bulls were taken aback by an amazing night from Van Exel and Shaq and fell behind by 22 at the half. MJ's shot was only visible at the end of the half which was probably why the Bulls didn't drop by 30.
NEDJELJOM U DVA (HRT1, 14.00 CET): Gost emisije je proslavljeni hrvatski košarkaš Toni Kukoč. Govorit će o tome što radi danas u sportskoj mirovini, prisjetiti se košarkaških dana sa Jordanom i Rodmanom te objasniti zašto je u toku karijere bio nezadovoljan tretmanom hrvatskih novinara. Zašto predsjednik Tuđman nije zvao Kukoča na dizanje zastave u Kninu te kako je bilo na oproštaju Vlade Divca u Beogradu, čut ćemo u ovoj emisiji.
In the 2nd half, MJ became what he would call "The Utility Man". He plugged all the holes and did the dirty work - hustling on defense, setting screens, passing to the hot man etc. Down 18 points in the 4th, Kukoc and Pip stepped up and stood besides MJ's leadership and brought the game to OT. And while MJ's shot was still MIA, he drilled the nail-in-coffin free throws to seal the game. This was one of the most amazing comebacks ever and one reason why the Bulls were the Bulls.
Magic je imao Scotta, Bird Aingea, Jordan Paxona...
Svaki veliki igrač imao je weak side shootera da mu olakša when the defence colapses up on him. LeBron ima Daniela Gibsona, kojemu je ovo tek DRUGA sezona.
32MIN: 11.6pts/2.6ast/2.5reb/FGs45.7%/3FGs46.7%
Noćas je Gibson ostavio još jedan od svojih tragova u Ligi gdje igrači ispod 190cm nikako nisu dugovječni. Tri loše utakmice i na putu je zamjena iz NBDL-a.
