Trust The Process

You rarely see a 7 footer walking around a sidewalk or anywhere. Well The Kansas Jayhawk 7 footer from Cameroon was one of those really tall people. Joel Embiid is 7 foot tall (probably taller) and 250 pounds. We weren't built to be 7 feet. Anyways, In 2014 Joel Embiid suffered a stress fracture to the naicular bone in his right foot. He re- injured the same foot in 2015. People thought that Joel Embiid was never going to be the same he did in Kansas. People thought he was the next Greg Oden. But that didn't stop him. He was working out gained some muscle. He worked out in the gym practicing his game for 6 hours a day. He also improved his 3 point shot to add to his deadly game. Joel Embiid came out in the preseason that no one expected. And when he played his first NBA game against the Thunder, we already knew he was winning Rookie of the Year. Embiid is averaging 20.2 points a game, 7.8 rebounds, and 2 in a half block a game with minute restrictions. This guy is a total beast if he putting these numbers up in 25 minutes. If he keeps getting healthier and starts playing 35 he could be a complete beast. Joel even started a campaign to make the All Star Game but just didn't make it through. He also has Philly fans shouting TRUST THE PROCESS when he shoots his free throw. Obviously he is still just a rookie and is still developing. Watch him be the next Hakeem Olajuwon. We are watching you Joel. We are watching you Joel.

LeBron James again? Here we go...

On my last post we talked about mostly LeBron wanting a play-maker I talked about it a little bit on my last, but now I'm doing a whole post about it! It all started out with LeBron demanding a play-maker and Charles had something to say about that. He thought that it was inappropriate. LeBron came back with all facts and stated way more "inappropriate" stuff that Charles did earlier in his basketball carer. He spit on someone, threw someone out of a window and even partied in Las Vegas when supposed to be at an ALL STAR GAME! Let us explain Charles Barkley's NBA career. The Chuckster Barkley Foward from Auburn University was drafted 5th overall in the 1st round by the Philadelphia and played 8 season there. He then played for the Suns where people most know him for and played 4 seasons out in Arizona. He won his first and only MVP while playing for the Suns and even had a trip to the Finals but lost in 6 to the Chicago Bulls. Barkley ended his NBA career with Rockets and played 4 season there. His career averages where 22.1 Points 11.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2006. Charles Barkley works for TNT now. According to LeBron he said that he was disrespecting his legacy. LeBron is a 13 time all star and has been consistent in all his 14 years of playing basketball. And when LeBron listed all the bad things that Charles did in his career, this is what Charles said about it. Well, honestly I don't think he google that Charles. We all know your mistakes. Its about time LeBron stood up for himself. He has been ignoring critics for years but now, its good that he said something.

What Move Should the Cavs make?

LeBron James message to the Cavs GM

Via ESPN

LeBron James is FURIOUS! Ever since the Cavaliers got sharpshooter Kyle Korver their record is 3-5 and that is bad news for the Cavs. The Cavs already have super star point guard Kyrie Irving. But if you guys know who Kyrie Irving is, you would know he is not a play-maker. He can get assists here and there, but he is not like Chris Paul or John Wall. Rookie Kay Felder guard has been going back and forth between the D-League and Cavs roster. Kay hasn't been proving anything what he did in the preseason now. Cavs are suggesting many players already. For example, Mario Chalmers. Chalmers was already on LeBron's team in Miami for 4 years. They had some chemistry problems. They even got in a fight. The are considering Kirk Hinrich, former Bulls player. Lance Stephenson, former Pacer and rival of LeBron James. And might workout Jordan Farmer. All of these players have been worked out and Mario Chalmers feels confident hes going to the Cavs.

Charles Barkley recently just said somethings about LeBron wanting a play-maker and they both have been going back and forth. Here is what Dwayne Wade LeBron's former teammate had to say about all of this drama "I respect LeBron for what he is doing.... Usually he wouldn't say anything and he would just ignore but I am happy that he did." In case you where wondering what started all this Charles Barkley said that LeBron wanting a play-maker is "inappropriate for the league. I personally think that LeBron should say this all he wants because all he wants to do is repeat. Let's see what the Cavs decision is on who to sign.

All Star Snub

Is Westbrook an All Star Snub?

New York Daily News 

       Was Russell Westbrook an All-Star Snub? Well here is your answer to your question! We all know that big move former Thunder Foward Kevin Durant made this past summer. It seems like Westbrook has taken that move as a way to show not only Durant but the whole league of what he is capable of. This year the NBA changed the all-star voting. The league added new media and player vote to take up half that all star vote. The fan vote took up the other half. Westbrook got 1st place for starting point guard in media and player vote. Rockets guard James Harden got 2nd place in player, fan, and media vote. Warrior guard Stephen Curry got 1st in fan vote, 3rd in media, and 3rd in player. Well... it was an all around tie for the three players and the league decided to take a look at the fan vote (which curry had more of). So the league decided that Stephen Curry and Harden are starting. Which left Westbrook left out. Curry is the starting point guard for the West. And Harden is starting at 2 guard for the West. Let's take a look to what Russell Westbrook is averaging. Westbrook is averaging 30.6 points per game, 10.4 assists per game, and 10.6 rebounds per game. THE MAN IS AVERAGING A TRIPLE DOUBLE! He is having an outstanding season and has 21 triple-doubles already and we are almost halfway through the season. Now let's see what our starting Point Guard for the west is averaging. Stephen Curry is averaging 24.6 points per game, 6.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds. That's not even close to what Westbrook is averaging. This is what Westbrook said when he found out he wasn't starting. "I don't care about the All Star but I know some other people do... I just want to win a championship not competing for an All-Star spot." We will see how Westbrook plays as a reserve and through the other half of the season.

Who is Winning Mvp?

Who will take the MVP home?

“The Beard,” Harden said, before making his case. “Look at our record. Obviously the numbers, historic numbers. Just my performance overall.” Google Images

 1.)    There are many players that are having a breakout season. Ever since the Houston Rockets hired head coach Mike D'Antoni, he moved James Harden to the 1 spot to control the Rockets offensively. It has been a great success not only for the team but for James Harden too. When the Rockets lost their center Dwight Howard during free agency we all thought the Rockets would be in big trouble. The Rockets finished 8 seed in West even with Howard. The Rockets record finished with a .500 winning percentage 41-41. Their playoff run ended early against the historic 73-9 Warrior team.

Here is what Rockets Guard said as a reporter asked him if he is winning MVP Harden said, “The Beard,” Harden said, “Look at our record. Obviously the numbers, historic numbers. Just my performance overall.” The Rockets signed two sharpshooters Eric Gordon & Ryan Anderson to help out with James Harden. This season they are 32-12 with James Harden leading the team. Harden 28 in a half. Almost 12 assists and 8 rebounds. Harden has had a 53 point game also with 17 assists, and 16 rebounds. Those numbers have never ever been put out in NBA HISTORY!!!
