ONE MAN’S OPINION: THE FIVE BEST PLAYERS IN THE NBA

July 31, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Each year, OneManFastBreak.net ranks the five best players in the NBA. The ranking system is based on ONE MAN’S opinion and doesn’t conform to the All-NBA format where you have to pick one center, two forwards and two guards.

April 28, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Injuries are always going to play a major role in sports, but they get magnified in the playoffs, and especially when it’s a star player.

Eight unstoppable signature moves in basketball

January 10, 2011 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

When I think of signature basketball moves, the first one that comes to mind is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sky hook. Kareem’s sky hook may be the most unstoppable shot in the history of the sport. It’s beautiful to watch, extremely deadly and that unique shot – many times replicated but never successfully duplicated – is the … [Read more…]

JACKSON UNHAPPY WITH LAKER FOCUS

January 3, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Grizzlies came into Staples Center and embarrassed the defending NBA champions 104-85. The Lakers have now lost three of their last four home games, and the one win was a four-point struggle against the lowly 76ers. Is there trouble in L.A.? “We didn’t execute well, and defensively we were poor,” Kobe Bryant told reporters … [Read more…]

GRINCH KOBE SAYS HO … HO … HORRIBLE!

December 27, 2010 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

The L.A. Lakers, quite simply, were Ho-Ho-Ho-rrible against the Miami Heat on Christmas Day. The two-time defending NBA champions left an awful stench at Staples Center after a 96-80 loss to the traveling circus from South Beach. It got so bad for the Lakers that coach Phil Jackson joked he developed hemorrhoids sitting on the … [Read more…]

LAKERS-HEAT A CHRISTMAS CLASSIC

December 25, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

LeBron James told reporters on Friday that he wouldn’t mind seeing less teams in the NBA, a stance that goes against the players’ union.

NBA PREVIEW: THE TOP 8 IN THE WEST

October 28, 2010 by Joel Huerto 4 Comments

Despite all the hoopla in South Beach, the road to the NBA championship still runs through the Los Angeles Lakers. Size still matters and, last time I checked, the two-time defending champions still boasts the best frontline in basketball. As good as Kobe Bryant is – and he’s in the Michael Jordan conversation should he … [Read more…]

NBA PREVIEW: LAKERS STILL TEAM TO BEAT

September 28, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Los Angeles Lakers recently started training camp at their team facility in El Segundo, Calif., without little fanfare. There were no one-hour ESPN specials to announce their existence and there were no pyrotechnics to introduce Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson and Pau Gasol – the real Three Kings of the NBA. Unlike their neighbors from … [Read more…]

MATT BARNES IS HAPPY TO BE A LAKER

July 29, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kobe Bryant says anyone who is crazy enough to mess with him on the court is crazy enough to play with him. Two seasons ago, Bryant got into an altercation with Ron Artest – who was with the Houston Rockets at the time – during a playoff game. A year later, Artest signed with the … [Read more…]
