What a ringing endoresment for the NBA. The two best teams in basketball get together and the winner of Game 3 barely scores 70 points. Man, oh man, I love this game. Talk about pure excitement. And the kids these days say they don't like baseball because it's boring. Yeah, the NBA is really where you want to be. I've covered high school games where the teams have scored more points--in fewer minutes. And as for LeBron James and the analysts saying things like he's the team leader and the star player and all of that.."when is he going to step up and take control of this series?" Here's a better question: "when is a professional basketball player going to HIT AN OPEN SHOT?" Is there anyone reading this that can't find one person at a playground anywhere in this country that can't hit a wide, wait I mean, WIDE THE FREAK OPEN jump shot? The NBA...it's zzzzzzzzztastic!
Your blog is doomed. See, your second sentence states, "the two best teams in basketball"....need I say more? Ok, I will. If you shoot 70% from the free throw line how do you expect them to make a WIDE OPEN JUMPER?!!
peace
When did Jordan's jump shooting percentage start to climb to the acceptable level?
Oh yeah, never. It's the ability to hit the shots that matter that Jordan had that LeBron has yet to develop. Some people are born with it, some people wait forever for it and it never comes. The story of Lebron will continue next year when the front office gets him some help, which will in turn allow him to have energy and concentration so he can step up and hit the big one. If he gets no help he becomes just like Kobe.....

I currently work as the sports editor for the Grapevine Independent in Rancho Cordova, California. I graduated from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. I primarily focus on high school and local college sports. Anumber of local athletes are in the NFL and MLB, so I do cover those sports from time to time. Visit www.grapevine independent.c om to see more of my work or if you really want to stay on top of Cordova High sports. My favorite sports teams are the SF Giants, the 49ers (dare I say), and the North Carolina Tarheels. I try to stay fiercely dedicated to professionali sm and impartiallity while I'm working. When I'm not at work and Carolina is on, all bets are off.
