New Kids on the Block

Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings have taken the game by storm. They have been getting buckets and dropping dimes at will from day one. Win, lose, or draw they are bringing it every night. Another thing that they have in common is the fact that they have so many haters. That's probably because Evans was a "one-and-doner" and Jennings skipped college to play pro in Europe for a year. Despite the lack of experience both players have been ridiculously productive in the young season. It became evident that the two guards were destined for stardom in the 2008 McDonald's All-American game. Jennings sporting a hightop fade showed off a plethora of highlight reel worthy moves in the game. Wether it was a funky no look pass, And 1 like dribble moves, or a rim rocking jam, Jennings was impressive all night. Evans was equally impressive. He scored the ball like his life depended on it. Nobody in the gym could check him and he knew that too. It appears that people are having difficulties guarding him in the NBA as well. The same can be said for Jennings. It was showcased when he dropped a double nickel earlier this year. As of right now they're putting up twenty a night and making it look easy. They're both the centerpieces of teams filled with young talent and will be giving defenders nightmares for years to come.

Things That Grind My Gears Vol. 1

This entire rant is about something that burn me up inside at sporting events. In the sports world there are a lot of people who know what they're talking about and are very philosophical about sports. They just watch the game and comment on something every now and then. Then there are the people who do more talking than watching. The people that would yell at a coach for holding the ball for one shot at the end of the half without taking into account the fact that the team is only down seven despite playing horribly with their best player on the bench in foul trouble. But all they see is that the team is losing so they urge the players to take quick shots, not realizing that quick shots will probably widen the gap even farther. That's just one example. At every sporting event there is an ignorant person talking just to make themselves look important. In actuality they end up looking like morons because what they're saying makes no sense at all. If you don't know what you're talking about then shut up. It's that simple.
