KNOWING SPORTS IS KNOWING LEBRON

Knowing sports, having a favorite sport, is no longer limited to gambling addicts. You can even have a favorite player without feeling like a loser. So why is it so difficult to root for LeBron James? I’ll start:

BLAZER SEASON WRAP FOR DAME TIME

Another Blazer season, another year, and another view of Damian Lillard. The best teammate award and a first round exit. Who doesn’t get caught up in the whirlwind of the NBA Playoffs without noticing Lillard? I’m not asking who thinks they know what he should do next. It’s been another year, a primetime season, but […]

CALMING DOWN AFTER TELLING OTHERS TO CALM DOWN

Calming down is hard when usually calm people start twitching. You know it’s going off the tracks when you have to tell the calm ones to calm down. Sensitive people have it worse because their radar picks up problems before they become problems. Ever try telling a sensitive person to calm down? How did that […]

MENTAL HEALTH ON SPORTS TALK RADIO: KEVIN LOVE’S BALL

Mental health came up on sports talk radio, and Kevin Love was the reference. As if we don’t have enough health problems, now it’s mental? This is good, and we’ve got someone who stands up to talk about it in Kevin Love.

BLAZER DIFFERENCE IN THE WEST? CHARACTER

LOVE LESSON MEANS KEVIN LOVE

The perfect Kevin Love sequence: Rips the rebound away from Biyombo, runs the court, drills a three, gets back on D. This is Kevin Love, Oregon kid, son of Stan Love, Oregon Duck. He’s related to Mike Love, Beach Boy, and Stan Love’s brother. That’s old news. The new news is he’s a part of […]

STEPH YOUR GAME UP

Anything is possible when you Steph Your Game Up. Step back a moment and consider the history of the long range bomber in basketball. Baby boomers had Pistol Pete Maravich in his baggy gray socks launching forty footers. They went in often enough for Pete to avoid the tag of, “afraid of the paint,” which […]

LEBRON AND THE NBA FINALS

Struggle is the hidden beauty of sports. And LeBron. Watching the best player in the world rally his team sends a message to all, but mostly to baby boomers. By the time you hit your fifties and sixties you know struggle all too well. It’s a personal thing, as in we struggle alone. Now we’ve […]

AN NBA FINALS HEADACHE

Game 4 Of The NBA Finals Draws Blood. Just when the old lawman has the new band of outlaws rounded up in Cleveland, this happens: They break out. Keep in mind the old lawman, Sheriff LeBron, is an ancient thirty year old. His age isn’t important unless you compare him to Steph Curry. When you […]
