ROSE CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM HEAT

April 18, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Derrick Rose grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Rose was born and raised in Chicago, so he knows full well the degree of difficulty that comes with winning a championship for the Windy City and the massive shadow cast by Jordan’s legacy. If you take away Jordan’s Bulls, the city of Chicago … [Read more…]

BEST CLOSER IN THE GAME? IT’S KOBE . . . AND IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE

April 8, 2012 by Joel Huerto 3 Comments

Kobe Bryant is not the same superstar that could carry a team by scoring 40 points over a 10- or 12-game stretch. Father Time is slowly starting to catch up to him, as evidenced by the third-lowest shooting percentage (43%) of his 16-year career. Sure, he is playing with torn ligaments in his wrist and … [Read more…]

10 DUNKS BETTER THAN BLAKE’S

February 1, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Before we go completely gaga over Blake Griffin’s thunderous dunk (or throwdown) over Kendrick Perkins, let’s take a step back and avoid being a prisoner of the moment. Griffin’s aerial assault on Jan. 30 against the Oklahoma City Thunder was spectacular and deserved all the attention it received the past couple of days. But to … [Read more…]

Where does Dennis Rodman rank among NBA’s greatest defenders?

September 1, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Dennis Rodman entered the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011. It’s a deserving honor considering the enormous impact Rodman has had in the sport, especially on defense where he truly (and literally) left his mark. Rodman was an absolute pest on the defensive end, hounding perimeter players and muscling post players with an all-out … [Read more…]

JORDAN SLAMS LEBRON’S DECISION

July 19, 2010 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

Michael Jordan understood why LeBron James decided to leave Cleveland and team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. However, in hindsight, Jordan likely would not have done the same if given the same choice. Call it an old-school mentality, call it ego, call it what you want. Jordan didn’t take shortcuts. What … [Read more…]

SCOTTIE PIPPEN: THE NBA’S GREATEST WINGMAN

April 11, 2010 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

In Gotham City, Batman would occasionally need Robin’s help to defeat crime. In the movie “Top Gun,” Maverick needed Iceman to accomplish his mission. In the NBA, Michael Jordan became a champion with a big assist from Scottie Pippen. With Pippen as his wingman, Jordan won six NBA championships and six Finals MVPs with the … [Read more…]

LeBRON TO CHANGE HIS NUMBER

November 13, 2009 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

LeBron James revealed last night that he is thinking about changing his jersey number. James told TNT’s Craig Sager that he will likely ditch No. 23 and switch to No. 6 – the number he wore when he played for Team USA in the Olympics – as his way of honoring his idol Michael Jordan, … [Read more…]

JORDAN’S INDUCTION SPEECH FOUL

September 13, 2009 by Joel Huerto 4 Comments

Five minutes into Michael Jordan’s Hall-of-Fame induction speech in Springfield, Mass., he said “I shocked the shit out of him” in reference to David Thompson’s reaction when the former North Carolina State star was asked to be his sponsor. What? Did Jordan just say “shit” on national television? Wow. What a way to bust through … [Read more…]
