Lebron: “Thanks Rashard”
Posted in Sports, Videos on May 23rd, 2009 by HyphenBy now, I hope you’ve all seen Lebron’s incredible game winning three from last night, but if not, see above. While this was clearly a great shot and an insta-classic NBA moment (Mo Williams = 2009 Thomas Hill), I’m still wondering one thing: what the hell was Rashard Lewis doing?
If you’re guarding the inbounder, you have a couple different options:
- Get up as close as possible to pressure the ball and make the pass difficult. Rashard is 6’10” with long arms…Mo’s like 6’1″…if you’re pressuring on the ball heavy, there’s no way Mo gets a clean pass off.
- Turn around and front Lebron off the ball. As Kenny Smith mentioned on the TNT post-game coverage, Williams wasn’t going to pass that ball to anyone else. The whole world knew it was going to Bron Bron, so if you don’t want to pressure the ball, put two on Bron and front him with your back to the ball.
Instead, Rashard got caught in two minds and did neither. He was worried about the lob to the rim (which only would have tied anyway) so he inexplicably backed up in the direction of the basket. That doesn’t prevent the lob at all, and in fact, makes it easier. If he really wanted to take away the lob, he should have been pressuring the ball. Then when Mo went to make an overhead pass to the top of the key, Rashard’s hands should have made that a difficult pass.
LOOOOL @ that halfhearted attempt to challenge Lebron’s shot too. He got caught in no man’s land and then gave a fake effort to challenge the shot. GTFOH.
But um, anyway. WE ARE ALL WITNESSES!

We’re dancin! The streak is alive!

Oh it was ugly…but my Arizona squad is in and the streak is alive. We’ve made the tournament virtually every year of my life (25 straight). Sorry St. Mary’s…sorry Penn State…sorry Auburn. Now let’s go give Utah some payback for one of the worst days of my life.
Cristiano does it again
Posted in Sports, Videos on February 22nd, 2009 by HyphenOne of the reasons why he’s the best player in the world. That’s flawless.
Nasty.
Posted in Sports, Videos on February 19th, 2009 by HyphenNo foul either. What was the ref watching?
Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.
Posted in News, Politics, Sports, Videos on January 21st, 2009 by HyphenMore true words from Jay Smooth. Like I said in my last post, we have to “be the change” we want to see. That means we have to get to work and take pride in what everything do.
I’m making 2009 a huge year for myself and I hope y’all do the same. Live better in every aspect of your life and get things moving in the right direction. Do your best to really experience life. Remember what Jimmy V said?
To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.
Robin van Persie is still > you
Posted in Sports, Videos on December 22nd, 2008 by Hyphen(why are EPL highlights so hard to find online? seriously.)
If you didn’t learn the first time, just look at RvP’s finish in yesterday’s match vs. Liverpool. Wow. The chest control was brilliant, the one touch completely fooled Carragher, and then the finish with his ‘weaker’ right foot was still a rocket. Bergkamp woulda been proud. Lastly, he tops it off by brushing off his shoulder? Aww man, phenomenal swag from RvP.
Before anyone says anything, yes, Keane’s finish was excellent too, and yes, it was still a draw that continues to reduce Arsenal’s title hopes. Since I enjoy watching all the ‘Big 4’ play, I just want it to be a tight race and the draw keeps it close enough heading in to the new year. LOL @ Howard Webb sending off Adebeyor for two normal fouls, meanwhile Lucas racked up about 11 fouls before getting his first booking though. GTFOH.
I’m shocked that Liverpool couldn’t get a goal against a 10 man Arsenal team that lost Fabregas at the half. If you’re going to be the champions, shouldn’t you take all 3 points there?
