This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
My A to Z Challenge of athletes and teams has fallen into a streak of basketball. L is for Lebron James who some think is a serious challenge for Michael Jordan's supposed GOAT status.
Lebron's Top 35 plays
King James has been named the NBA MVP four times and has been an All-Star 18 times. He has earned four Championship Rings. Is Lebron James better than Michael Jordan? If Jordan or James are not the best players of all time who is?
Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time. He was on an NCAA National Championship team with the North Carolina Tar Heels.
College Highlights
In the NBA he won six NBA titles. he was a 14 time All Star, the league's MVP five times, and needless to say had a Hall of Fame Career.
Allen Iverson left the Georgetown Hoyas after his sophomore season. That season he was named an All American. In the NBA he was named Rookie of the Year, he was an 11 time All Star and the league MVP in 2001. After his career he ended up in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Here is someone's list of his top 10 plays
Allen Iverson is the Athlete for the letter I. Tomorrow the letter is J so stay tuned.
It has been a busy month with the A to Z: Challenge. The Louisville Cardinals winning the NCAA Basketball Championship and me winning my bracket almost slipped past the blog. What does it have to do with V? Well today V is for victorious.
But before we celebrate the victors I have to tip my hat to the Michigan Wolverines. I mean they knocked out Kansas a team I had going to the finals and putting my bracket into jeopardy.
Then Michigan crushed a team I covered this season, The Florida Gators. Yes I was rooting against the Wolverines again. Well I knew someone else had Michigan to win everything.
The Wolverines then beat the Syracuse Orange to reach the title game. Again making me nervous...
Louisville
The Louisville Cardinals masrch to the championship was relatively eas. They started against 16 seeded NC A&T...
Then they faced 8th seeded Colorado State...
Then they faced 12-seeded Oregon., before a big show down with the Duke Blue Devils
Then they played the surprise team the Wichita State Shockers to earn a spot in the championship game...
I had picked Louisville to win everything. I had already clinched second place with my picks. I needed Louisville to win or second place was going to be my finish. It was a close a game...
but in the end my bracket and the Louisville Cardinals were victorious.
Part 2 of my last college basketball post. I ran out of room on last post and the games kept going.Thje conference tournaments gave me a chance to extend my basketball coverage past FLorida and Georgia Tech.
First up the MEAC Tournament
I picked up the MEAC Tournament and recapped the action on March 12, March 13, March 14, and the semi-finals on the 15th. It was a fun tournament as all of the top seeds were eliminated.
Here are highlights from the home team being eliminated...
From a minor conference to a major conference the Big East...
I started recapping the action on March 12, March 13, March 14, and the semi-finals on March 15.
Ok I have been a bit of a slacker on cllege basketball coverage. However, now that the college fooball season is over and we are inching closer to the madness the basketball coverage will be increasing. I am covering the Florida Gators and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for Outside the Redzone the same teams I covered for football.
The Florida Gators
The first basketball recap of the season was Florida's win over Wisconsin. You can read that recap here.
Here are some highlights since I like to add a little extra to the blog...
Next recap for the Florida Gators was their huge win over the Georgia Bulldogs. You can read that recap here. Sorry couldn't find highlights for this game. Here is a quick recap of the game...
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Like I said it has been a slow start for me on the basketball articles. I only have one for Georgia Tech and that was of their loss to the North Carolina State Wolfpack. You can read that recap here. I found highlights from that game...
More Yellow Jackets coverage to come.
Well I am covering some things so more performing arts posts will follow, I have written some more football articles, so there are a lot of things on tap for the blog.
