NAKED OUTRE

      The season was over a week ago. The Milwaukee Bucks are this years champions. It is still a little weird to say that out loud, but the Bucks deserved to win. Now it is time to look ahead to the off season. It is some interesting questions heading to this off season with regards players and teams. Here is the  questions I have heading to this NBA offseason,  10. What will the champs do? Most of the Bucks salary cap are tied into three players:  G iannis Antetokounmpo (he moved up my ranking), Khris Middleton (he moved up too), Jrue Holiday (he's still at the same spot with me). The organization did good enough job to build around those three to help them capture the title. Now they need to do it again. I think they need to find a player that can play those Tucker minutes. Tucker had some good moments. He was relentless on the offensive glass, especially in the last two series. He gave them an edge the Bucks need, but too many times this past posts...

      When we die, we are either going to heaven or to hell. How many times we have heard that growing up? For some, probably quite often. Obviously, it depends on the family and your environment growing up. Some families are not religious. Some families, like mine, are deeply religious. They are devoted Christians. There is nothing wrong with that. Growing up as a kid, I thought it was such thing as a heaven and hell. All the good people to heaven. All the bad people go to hell. I was domesticated to believe that if someone commit suicide, they will go to hell because they have betrayed God. I thought these things were true growing up because that is what I was told by my family and my surroundings.  Over the past seven to eight months, I do not listen and follow things because I simply was told this by people. I do my own investigation and research. I want to educate myself.  It is not just with this particular subject, but with almost everything and ever...

       It is still weird to believe that the two teams that are left in the NBA season are the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns. We can question the legitimacy of how these two teams made it to the finals, but these two teams still earned it. Game 1 is now complete.      Prior to the game, I was curious of the potential matchup assignments for both teams. Giannis coming back so quickly changed things a little bit. In the beginning of the game, Ayton start off  on Antetokounmpo, and Crowder was on Lopez when Milwaukee had the ball. When Phoenix had the ball, Milwaukee put Tucker on Paul and Holiday was on Booker. Those matchups was expected coming into this series.      Milwaukee switched majority of the Suns' pick and roll in the first half. Because of that, it left Lopez and Portis on an island with Paul or Booker. The switching strategy worked out great for the Bucks in the last series versus the Hawks, especially th...

          " He's a top 15 player." How often do we hear that? Quite often, right? "This guy is definitely a top 25 player." We hear that all time from the media.  How many people that be making those statements in the media actually sit down and do their own player ranking? Probably not many. Well, I decided to do my own top 25 player ranking in the NBA. Try this exercise after reading this. It's fun but also a little nerdy. Hey, I am a basketball nerd.  So, who is the 25 best players in the NBA, according to me?       Before I start the ranking, I want to share on how I do my ranking and what do I value. Basically, this is my criteria when I be ranking players. I have three major criteria that I look for.  Statistics but mainly the advanced metrics. The player overall impact during the game. The eye test.  Can I trust this guy to step up and make winning plays in the last five minutes of a playoff game?     The ...
