Hibachi Madness

Arenas is a prototype "shoot-first pass-second" point guard. He is a highly gifted scorer who is able to score at a clip of almost 30 points per night (2005-06 regular season average: 29.3), often using his trademark slashing drives to the basket as well as his long-range jumpshot. He has been named by many players as the hardest player to guard in the NBA. He is also one of the best ball thieves in the NBA, currently 2nd in the steals category with 63 and 2.0 steals per game (as of January 4, 2007).

Even before entering the NBA, Arenas had always been known for his remarkable clutch abilities, with several early scouting reports making note of it. He's 8-8 on three pointers from 32-feet or beyond, making him a scoring threat as soon as he crosses the center court line.While most players shoot their half court shots with two hands and 'slinging' them at the hoop, Arenas shoots them like ordinary jump shots, and this technique is one contributor to his incredible range.

Arenas' critics point out his limited play making ability. His assists per game lifetime average is an unremarkable 5.4, and moreover, he is very turnover-prone, as his lifetime TO rate of 3.35 per game proves (he also "leads" the 2006 TO statistics with 3.71 and the previous three years in the top ten). In addition, his defensive game is still considered average (he has yet to be elected into an All-Defensive Team).

In spite of his critics, he is currently lauded as one of the best guards in the game, as his 2006 Eastern Conference All-Star call-up indicates.

In an overtime game versus the Los Angeles Lakers on December 17, 2006 at the Staples Center, Arenas scored a career high 60 points, including 8 rebounds and 8 assists in helping lead the Wizards over the Lakers 147-141. Arenas now holds the Wizards' franchise record for most points scored in a game by an individual. The previous record was held by Earl Monroe with 56 points, achieved in 1968 which was also an overtime game against the Lakers. His 16 points in the extra period also set an NBA record for most points in one overtime period, surpassing Earl Boykins' record by one point.

On January 26th, 2007, Arenas was voted as a first-time starter for the All-Star 2007 game for the Eastern Conference, edging out Vince Carter by a slight margin.

Scottie Pippen: “Offensive and Defensive plays?, He Mastered Them!”

Scottie Maurice Pippen, an amazing athlete who has mastered the abilities of jumping, shooting and various of other skills. His monstrous jumping ability has postarize many players in the NBA. If Pippen goes up in the air, then there are only three words “Look Out Below” because he is coming down with a thunderous slam on top of you! However if you choose to double team him in the paint then he will just have to step back behind the arc and simply shoot one in your face! There is merely nothing that you can do to defend this astonishing player. Not only is he an unstoppable player, but also keen player who lead Chicago Bulls along with Michael Jordan to six championships. He has left a mark as being nominated as one of the best all-around players in NBA history.

Scottie Pippen attended college at University Of Central Arkansas, and played for the basketball team for four consecutive years. Pippen’s great performance at his college as a basketball player, lead him to be immediately considered a viable NBA prospect. In 1987, Pippen was selected fifth overall in the NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics. Where he played some introductory games with and soon he was traded to the Chicago Bulls for the eighth pick, 7-ft center Olden Polynice. Only later did the Supersonics realise that Pippen had great potential because with the Chicago bulls, Pippen blossomed as an all-star player.

Scottie Pippen immediately became Chicago’s young starting forward with 6”10” power forward Horace Grant. Both of these players played well together and portrayed great chemistry with the team which lead Chicago to many wins. Then later on, in the 1988 playoffs, Pippen would come together with one of the greatest legend of all time Michael Jordan and they both lead the Bulls to reach the Eastern Conference semi finals for the first time in over a decade. Pippen was just booming as a player he was well recognized for his stellar defence and consistent scoring ability.

In 1990, Pippen helped the Bulls to reach the Conference Finals and earned himself his first NBA All-Star Game berth. However, in game seven of the conference finals against the Detroit Pistons, Pippen suffered from a migraine headache which really affected his performance. Then in the following year, 1991, Pippen would continue to improve and establish himself as a force to be reckoned with. Pippen became as the Bull’s primary defensive stopper and an indispensable offensive threat. He helped lead the Bulls to six NBA Championships(1990-91, 1991-92,1992-93,1995-96, and 1997-98). As a legend he was nominated as one of the NBA’s Fifty Greatest Players when the league was celebrating its fiftieth season in 1996.

Pippen still to this day has 3 achievements and records: 1) Pippen holds the NBA record for most career assists for a forward, 2) Pippen holds the NBA record for most career steals for a forward and 3) Pippen recorded 20 career triple-doubles.

Scottie Maurice Pippen is now retired and is spending some time working as a basketball analyst for the Chicago Bulls, he is also a special assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. . Pippen has two children and is married to Assyrian-American Larsa Younan. Pippen is a frequent poker player and he just loves kicking it back and playing high stake poker games with his team-mates Jordan and Ron Harper.

Enjoy some of his greatest moments in the NBA

Tim Hardaway: "Killer Cross-over"

Wow, one of the most exciting players of the 90s. Tim Hardaway can be credited with inventing the killer cross-over which has now become so popular. It is used by almost every player in the game is practically impossible to defend. Through following Hardaway's game, people like Iverson and Marbaury have been able to become such great basketball players.


After graduating from Carver High School in Chicago, Hardaway attended the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) where he won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the best college player under six feet (1.83 m) tall. Hardaway was selected as the 14th pick of the first round, in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors.

With the Warriors, Hardaway was part of "Run TMC" (a play on the title of the popular rap group Run DMC) which was the high-scoring trio of himself, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin. As part of the Warriors' attack, Hardaway was responsible for leading Run TMC's fast break, displaying his excellent passing and one-on-one skills to complement Richmond's slashing and Mullin's shooting. During his time with the Warriors, Hardaway’ dribbiling techniques were on full display. His deadly cross-over made him famous and kids all over the country were imitating this move. The killer cross-over is described below and when perfected it is a deadly move.

Hardaway’s best seasons occurred, when he was traded to the Miami Heat. He teamed out with Alonzo Mourning to make the Miami Heat one of the best teams of he eastern conference during the 90s, routinely winning conference titles. However, much like everyone else, the Heat became victims of the Chicago Bulls title runs and also of bad luck.
I remember watching the 8th seed New York Knicks taking on the first seed Miami Heat during the 1999 playoffs. The Heat were more talented, better coached and had a great center in his prime, Alonzo Mourning. However, the Knicks were gritty and played with heart. With Allan Houston hitting the runner at the buzzer, it was one of the greatest displays of team will in sports. NY Knicks became the first 8th seeded team to beat a 1st seed in the playoffs.

He was an MVP candidate following the 1996-1997 season, making it to the All-NBA First Team after leading the Heat to the best record in franchise history while averaging 20.3 points, 8.6 assists, and being fourth in the league with 203 three-point baskets. He reached 5000 points and 2500 assists faster than any NBA player, except Oscar Robertson. Hardaway has competed in five NBA All-Star Games. He is the Miami Heat's all time leader in assists.

You could always count on Tim Hardaway to give his most and give his heart when he plays on that court. His hard work made him one of the best point gaurds of the 90s decade. He was also fearless, not scared to go into the 7 foot defenders to take a layup or not afraid to take a shot when the game was on the line. Tim hardaway should be a role model for all up coming point guards playing the game.
Currently, Tim has a wife, Yolanda, and two children. He lives in Miami, Florida. Hardaway is a player/head coach of the Florida Pit Bulls of the ABA. Tim Hardaway also co-owns an upscale Handcarwash with partner Cory Mason in Miami.

Bob Cousy : A Legendary Play Maker

Robert Joseph Cousy was born on August 9, 1928 in New York City, United States. He was a great player who revolutionized basketball with his tremendous dribbling, shooting and assisting abilities.

Everyone starts from somewhere, Bob Cousy was born to a very poor family, he grew up a “ghetto rat” on Manhattan’s East Side. He struggled very much throughout life, and finally somehow managed to save up 500$ playing stickball. Miraculously, the money was able to get himself and his family out the ghetto and into a house in the St. Albans neighbourhood of Queens, Long Island. He was recognized as a very humble and hard working being.

This legend played as a point guard with the NBA’s Boston Celtics from 1951 to 1963. Basketball had its turning point because of Cousy, he put heart and dedication into the game which really changed the whole style of the game for future stars. He was often referred to as “ The Cooz” or “ Houdini of the Hardwood” because of being clutch at nerve raking moments and for his talented ability of dribbling out the last seconds of a game around the whole opposing team.

Bob “The Cooz” Cousy stands 6 feet one inch tall and weighing at a 175 lbs. After seeing Cousy at his prime we discover that it is not really a concern of weight or height that determines a players potential, it is about heart and hard work! Bob Cousy’s style was appreciated by everyone in the United States and it also was capturing the eyes of foreign countries around the globe.

Bob Cousy’s career really began at the ‘College of the Holy Cross’, where he earned a spot as a point guard in his second year of the national championship season. At first, Bob Cousy was given no time to play because his coach considered him as a ‘Show boater’. Therefore because of this accusation , Cousy decided to transfer to St. John’s, but the St. John’s coach persuaded Cousy to Stay with Holy Cross. And so, luckily for Alvin Julian, the coach of Holy Cross’s NCAA basketball team, he got back a very talented player who he didn’t really know about. Within couple of months, coach Julian soon realized how lucky he and his team were to have Bob Cousy play for them. During a game against Loyola Of Chicago at Boston Garden, Holy Cross was trailing with only 5 minutes on the clock. Cousy had not been on the court for the whole first half and so everyone in the crowds began to chant his name “ We want Cousy! We want Cousy!. At this point Coach Julian had no choice but to put Cousy on, and so, he hit the hardwood floor and went right to work, earning 5 field goals and 2 foul shots, totaling 12 amazing points, including a buzzer-beating left- handed hook shot that he threw up after spinning past a much larger player with a behind- the-back dribble.

From Holy Cross, he was drafted in 1950 by the Tri-Cities Blackhawks and after a couple games with them he was immediately traded to the Chicago Stag, and finally was drawn by the Celtics in a dispersal draft of the Stags franchise. With the Boston Celtics, Cousy led his team to six championships, which included the 1957 one and five consecutive ones from 1959 to 1963. He retired in 1963, and Cousy was known to be the Celtics all-time leader in assists with 6,955. He led the NBA in assists from 1953 to 1960 and included a career high of 9.5 assists per game in 1960. Bob Cousy scored 16,960 points, and he participated in the NBA All- Star game thirteen consecutive times, picking up the All- Star MVP award in 1954 and 1957. Cousy still owns two unbeatable NBA records: most assists in one half (19 in a February 27, 1959 game against the Minneapolis Lakers) and most free throws in an NBA playoff game (or in any NBA game, for that matter) when he made 30 out of 32 free throw attempts on March 21, 1953 against Syracuse.

Cousy is still now looked upon as a great motivator to our young players in our era. He is an unforgettable legend who set the basis of what basketball is today. He went from rags to riches and it was all due to his heart and hard work. Therefore in memory of this great man, I present you what it was like…back in the days!!!

Enjoy,

ZEKE: old school ballers

isah thomas

In high school, Thomas was an All-American guard on Gene Pingatore's first team at St. Joseph Catholic High School in Westchester, Illinois. Later, Thomas played for Indiana University and was named to the 1980 Olympic team, although the U.S. boycotted that year's games in Moscow in protest of the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union. He earned All-Big Ten honors in 1980, becoming the first freshman in conference history to accomplish the feat. In 1981, during his sophomore season at Indiana, Thomas was an All-American, averaging 16 points and 5.8 assists a game as he led the Hoosiers to a 26-9 national championship season. In the title game at Philadelphia, he scored a game-high 23 points in Indiana's 63-50 victory over the University of North Carolina, and was named NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Thomas left Indiana early to enter the National Basketball Association draft in 1981. He earned a bachelor's degree from IU in criminal justice several years later, as he promised his mother in writing that he would when he left college early to enter the NBA Draft.

In the 1981 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons chose Thomas and signed him to a four-year $1.6 million contract. With their rookie point guard averaging 17 points and 7.8 assists, the Pistons improved by 18 games, from 21-61 in the 1980-81 NBA season to 39-43 in the 1981-82 NBA season. Thomas made the All-Rookie team after starting for the East in the 1982 NBA All-Star Game.

In 1983, Thomas averaged 22.9 points, which would be his career high, and made the All-NBA second-team. The following year, under new coach Chuck Daly, he averaged 21.3 points and 11.1 assists and was voted first-team after leading the Pistons to a 49-33 record, the franchise's first winning season in seven years.

In the opening round of the 1984 NBA Playoffs, Isiah Thomas and the Pistons faced off against Bernard King and the New York Knicks. In the pivotal fifth game, Isiah Thomas was having a subpar performance, while Bernard King was having an excellent game. However, in the 4th quarter, Isiah scored 16 points in one minute and 33 seconds to force the game into overtime. King and the Knicks, however, held on to win in overtime.

Thomas recorded 1,123 assists (13.9 average) in 1985, breaking the NBA record of 1,099 set by Detroit's Kevin Porter in 1979, and was named all-league first team.

In the 1985 playoffs, Thomas led his team to the conference semi-finals against the vaunted Boston Celtics. Detroit pushed the defending champion Celtics to a six game series, and although Boston would prevail, Detroit's surprise performance promised that a rivalry had begun. In 1987 Thomas led the now famous "Bad Boys" tough Pistons to the Eastern Conference Finals, the farthest the team had advanced since moving from Fort Wayne, against the Celtics. After pushing the defending champions to a 2-2 tie, the Pistons were on the verge of winning Game 5 at the Boston Garden with seconds remaining. After a Celtics' turnover, Isiah Thomas attempted to quickly inbound the ball and missed Coach Daly's timeout signal from the bench. Larry Bird stole the inbound pass and passed it to Dennis Johnson for the game-winning layup. While the Pistons would win Game 6 in Detroit, they would lose the series in a tough Game 7 back in Boston.

Motivated by their loss to the Celtics, the 1988 Pistons fine-tuned their "bad boy" style and avenged their two previous playoff losses to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, defeating them in six games and advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since the franchise moved to Detroit.

The Pistons' first trip to the Finals saw them face the Los Angeles Lakers, who were led by Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. After taking a 3-2 series lead back to Los Angeles, Detroit appeared poised to win their first NBA title in Game 6.

One of Thomas' best known and most self-defining performances came in Game 6. Although he badly twisted his ankle in the game, Thomas continued to play. While hobbling and in obvious pain, Isiah was still able to score 25 points in a single quarter of that contest, a NBA Finals record. However, the Lakers won the game, 103-102, on a pair of last-minute free throws by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar following a controversial foul called on Bill Laimbeer, referred to by many Piston supporters, and Laimbeer himself, as a "phantom foul." With Isiah Thomas unable to compete at full strength, the Lakers were able to take advantage and narrowly clinched their second consecutive title in Game 7, 108-105.

In the 1988-89 season, along with fellow Bad Boys teammates Joe Dumars, Rick Mahorn, Vinnie "the Microwave" Johnson, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Laimbeer, Thomas guided his team to a then-franchise-record 63-19 record. The Pistons steamrolled through the playoffs and defeated Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the Conference Finals, to setup up an NBA Finals rematch with the Lakers. This time the Pistons came out victorious in a four-game sweep to win their first NBA championship. The Pistons would again win their division in the 1990, and advance past Jordan's Bulls, in what was now a heated rivalry, to defend their title in the finals against the Portland Trail Blazers. Isiah Thomas had a brilliant series in leading the Pistons to a 4-1 series win. Thomas was voted NBA Finals Most Valuable Player of the 1990 after averaging 27.6 points per game, 7.0 assists per game, and 5.2 rebounds per game in the series.

Thomas, a 6-1, 182 pound point guard, ranks as one of the 50 greatest players of all-time. From 1981 to 1994 Thomas had an exceptional career with the Detroit Pistons. He was a 12-time NBA All-Star, winning the game's MVP award twice in 1984 and 1986. He was named to the All-NBA First team three times and is the Pistons' all-time leader in points, steals, games played and assists. Thomas ranks fourth in NBA history in assists (9,061, 9.3 apg) and ranks ninth in NBA history in steals (1,861). Thomas was known for his dazzling dribbling ability as well as his uncanny ability to drive to the basket and score on much bigger players. His coach, Chuck Daly, once said that if he were six inches taller he would have been the greatest player of all time. Isiah Thomas has his number 11 retired by the Detroit Pistons and is easily considered the greatest Piston of all time. Another little realized fact is that Isiah Thomas is the only player, (other than his teammates), to have a winning record in the playoffs against fellow NBA legends, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.

Pistol Pete: Basketball Revolutionary

Peter Press "Pete" Maravich (June 22, 1947 – January 5, 1988) was an American basketball player known for his incredible shooting abilities, creative passing, and dazzling ballhandling. Also known as "Pistol Pete", he starred in college and for three NBA teams. Maravich is still the all-time leading NCAA scorer, averaging a staggering 44.2 points per game, without the benefit of a three-point line.

Born in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, and of Serbian descent, Pete amazed his family and friends with his basketball abilities from an early age. His father Press Maravich, a former professional player turned coach, showed Pete the fundamentals starting when Pete was 7. Pete would obsessively spend hours practicing ball control tricks, passes, head fakes, and long range shots.

Pistol Pete was an amazing athlete and and a amazing scorer at all levels of competetion. In his first game at LSU, as a freshman he put up 50 points, 11 assits and 11 assists. Pistol’s squad only lost one game that season. In his time in College, Maravich became one of the greatest to ever play the college game. At the end of his college career Maravich scored more points in college than any other player in history. In only three years playing for his father Press at LSU, Maravich scored 3,667 points — 1,138 points in 1968, 1,148 points in 1969 and 1,381 points in 1970 while averaging 43.8, 44.2 and 44.5 points per game. In the process, "Pistol Pete" set 11 NCAA and 34 Southeastern Conference records, as well as every LSU record in points scored, scoring average, field goals attempted and made, and free throws attempted and made. In his collegiate career, the 6-5 (1.96 m) guard averaged an incredible 44.2 ppg in 83 contests and led the NCAA in scoring three times. He also set an NCAA record by scoring more than 50 points 28 times. He was named a three-time All-American and still holds many of these records, more than 35 years later.Maravich was a three time first team All-American and was named The Sporting News' player of the year in 1970, and received the Naismith Award as well. He scored a personal record of 69 points versus Alabama during a game that year, and garnered numerous other awards and college records.Maravich shined on the court and LSU slowly turned around a lackluster program. The year before he arrived, the varsity posted a 3-20 record. In Pete's senior season, LSU was 20-8 and participated in postseason play.

After graduating from LSU in 1970, Maravich was the third selection in the first round of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) player draft and made league history when he signed a $1.9 million contract — one of the highest salaries at the time — with the Atlanta Hawks. He wasted little time becoming a prime time player by averaging 23.2 points per game his rookie season. After spending four seasons in Atlanta, Maravich was traded to the New Orleans Jazz where he peaked as an NBA showman and superstar. He made the All-NBA First Team in 1976 and '77 and the All-NBA Second Team in 1973 and '78. He led the NBA in scoring in 1977 with a personal high 31.1 points per game. Maravich finished his career with the Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics in 1980, where he played for one season alongside Larry Bird before retiring.

In ten NBA seasons, Maravich, a five-time NBA All-Star, scored 15,948 points in 658 games for a 24.2 ppg average (15th All Time). He led the league in scoring with 31.1 points per game in 1977. His NBA single game high, a 68-point explosion, came against the New York Knicks on February 25, 1977. He shares the record for most free throws made in a quarter with 14.

The magic of Pistol Pete was his play, which were years ahead of his time. His fancy passes and his moves challenged the way basketball was played and the direction in which basketball was heading towards. Although some basketball purists would argue that Maravich took away from the team game and made it more of an individual display, it made the game more entertaining and exciting for the audience. Pistol Pete led the way for many of great players of our generation such as Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash.

Here is a display of his skills at his finest

As you guys can see he was a dynamic scorer and was creative beyond imagination when he had the rock in his hands

Old School Ballers

Modern ball players are great!, but wat about our old school ballers?, Magic Brownie introduced to y'all a honourable legend, Magic Johnson and so now its time to present you some more of the top great legends!

Old School basketball is really something that we must all analyze because it is the basis of all styles of basketball play. In addition, now a days many interpret old shool basketball as being very boring because they feel that it lacks the entertaining style of streetball. However, this is not true, basketball was developed by old school players like Magic brownie mentioned in the previous posts.

We have numerous players who hold a special talent in the game of basketball. Looks can always be deceiving, we may think a tall person can't dribble, an overweight person can't run or a short person can't dunk!..Well guess what those are all bogus claims, anyone can do anything ! if you put your mind, heart and soul into it. You can do anything if you keep trying, keep practicing and most important keep correcting those mistakes you make. It is all about hard work and dedication, you have to say that ' I WILL DO IT!'

Here is a great player who inspired me tremendously, if this man can dunk at 5 feet 7 inches tall, than
"'I could As WELL!!!!" I say to myself.


Here is da man, a Great Legend

SPUDD WEBB!

caron butler

He was a lottery pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, selected with the 10th overall pick to the Miami Heat. He is remembered for his comments on draft day after nine teams passed over him, saying that he was going to make them pay for the rest of his career. In his first season with the Heat, he averaged a stellar 15 points and 5 rebounds. During his second season his stats fell slightly to 9 points and 4 rebounds, with an injury-hampered effort all season. He played in only 68 games in his second year. In 2004 he almost made history with the Heat, coming 1 game from defeating the favored Indiana Pacers in the conference semi-finals. At the end of the season he was traded along with Lamar Odom and Brian Grant to the Lakers in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal.

Caron Butler was traded along with Chucky Atkins to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit. Shortly before the 2005-2006 season opener, he inked a 5-year, $46 million dollar deal with the team. He became part of Washington's new "Big 3", previously made up of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, and the now-departed Larry Hughes (now with the Cleveland Cavaliers), who Butler replaced in the 2005-2006 season. Butler was nicknamed "Tough Juice" by coach Eddie Jordan for his aggressive and passionate play. This "tough juice" persona was epitomized by Butler's 20 rebounds in Game 6 of the Cavaliers series.

Butler's offensive game is known for its face up line drive jumper, as well as his athleticism and ability to finish around the rim.

Here are some clips (as usual),enjoy!

We gotta pay respects for those who developed the game and those who helped bring new aspects to the game.

I am going to start on a new theme, old school ballers.
