Ben Gordon is Clutch

Monday, April 27th, 2009

We all knew Ben Gordon was a bucket machine, and sure he’s had his fair share of late game heroics in past regular seasons, but man oh man this guy is a BALLER.

Watching U-Conn shooting stars Ray Allen and Ben Gordon going at it has been one of the most enjoyable NBA experiences I’ve had in a while. It’s one thing to just use your raw athletic power to drive to the hoop in the clutch like LeBron or Wade, but shooting threes from downtown with the whole team trying to shut you down and winning ball games is just something else.

Whenever I see Ben Gordon shooting a jump shot I say to myself ‘horrible shot’, but this guy seems to shoot better with people on him. He’s a basketball masochist.

Ben Gordon you’ve just made yourself a new fan, now keep your hand on the clutch and keep on rollinnnn.

A Basketball How to Site

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I don’t really browse the internet for basketball information anymore but what I did find today was quite hilarious, a basketball how to site! I’m curious as to which type of people will use this basketball how to site – is it aliens, babies, cavemen? Basketball how to lessons I guess is what I should have been blogging all along, apparently it gets several hundred thousand searches each month.

NBA Expansion in China

NBA China

Basketball in China has become so huge that the NBA has already made enormous investments in building a NBA-branded league in the PRC. First it was the announcement of the NBA China entity, then it was the 12 arenas, then the reality TV shows, and the news just keeps rolling in.

I for one am hugely excited and it’s quite refreshing to finally be in a country that the NBA actually cares about. In the weeks and months ahead, I’ll certainly be keeping an eye on any development and news coming from NBA china.

I urge you do the same if you want to know truely where the future of basketball in China and the fate of the NBA in China and the rest of the world is headed.
