Is Anthony Bennett going to be the biggest draft flop of all-time?!

##NUMBERONEOVERALLPICK##

I think it's absolutely disgusting how Mike Brown's has failed to utilize this kid. Why would you draft a guy number one only to have him play like 10 minutes a game?  Anthony Bennett has the same attributes as Larry Johnson but with longer arms! They are virtually the same size, have the same style of play and they went the same school. This guy can bang in the post over smaller SF's, is quicker and more athletic than most PF's, can hit the mid range shot, hit the 3, put the ball on the floor and with his tremendously long arms he can dunk pretty much over most big in the NBA and use his length to compensate for his lack of height (he’s about 6’8)! I'm not saying he’s going to be a superstar in the NBA but he certainly has star potential. If Carmelo Anthony can score 23 point and get 9 boards while playing as a PF/SF then I’m quite certain that Bennett can get you 14 points and 7 boards for the Cavs. Anthony Bennett is at stake of going down as being the biggest number one overall draft pick flop in NBA history in terms of his rookie year production. In all fairness, to the Cavs I heard he had some issue with his weight and conditioning but that didn’t seem an issue during the preseason in which he has flashes of star potential. Anyway, I like his style of play its old school, he can bang in the post and take you outside and finish around the rim and I’m looking forward to seeing this kid get more minutes. He’s the number one overall pick for Pete’s sake!

Kevin Durant is a the BADDEST man on the planet!!!!

##Basketball's version of James Bown!!!!##



Kevin Durant is a bad man. He’s bad like Leroy Brown. He’s bad like James Brown. He’s bad like Michael Jackson. And he has bad intentions for his opponents like a young Mike Tyson. Kevin Durant has ascended to the top of the basketball throne and is the best player in the world now! KD is averaging 30 points, 8 boards, 5 dimes, 1.5 steals and a block while shooting 50% from the field and 40% behind the arc and 88% from the charity stripe. That's astonishing! Those types of stats can cause nuclear reactors to meltdown and are the reason that scientists at NASA are scrambling to find the type of technology that he uses to gain an advantage over the NBA so they can resume space exploration. Kevin Durant wasn’t born on earth he’s was born on Krypton.

 He's on the type of run that only Jordan, Kobe, Bird and Lebron during his Cleveland years have experienced. For him to be 6'10, with a 7'6 inch wingspan, razzle dazzle handles, more moves than an Alvin Ailey dancer , to go along with a form on his jump shot that is as beautiful as  a Beethoven symphony  that makes you want to shed a tear  when you watching him. And what makes you want to cry is that he's only 25! DAMN! To be the king you got to beat the King but Lebron simply right now isn’t playing on his level. This reminds me of the time when Zeke on back-to-back titles with the Piston when he was the king and destroyed Magic, Bird and Jordan in the same year. Jordan was the usurper to the throne and had to get past Zeke even though he was a better player. That's what KD has to do and accomplishing that task is going to take more of an effort from the Thunder collectively.

Harlem Globetrotter with fantastic impressions of NBA greats! Funny!

##SPOT ON##

These are hilarious!Check em out!

Damian Lillard scores 41 points and 7 rebounds! Clinic!

##CLUTCHGENE#COLDBLOODED##

Seeing an ultra-athletic PG that's around 6'3 who plays for a team whose jersey colors are  black, red and white, combined with a rare ability to raise his game to any level of competition in the 4th quarter makes me like Lillard to the Western Conference version of Derrick Rose. Subsequently, he also  wears Derrick Rose's signature ADIDAS shoe. Since his ROY campaign we have all been privy to witness his amazing ability in the clutch. If your team can play to the level of the competiton for 3 quarter shaving a weapon like Lillard at the end of games to seal the victory or lead his team to a comeback victory has proven to be invaluable for the Blazers. You see you can teach any play tools to work on their ball handling ability or give them the fundamentals  or reps necessary to improve their shot mechanics but you can't teach "clutch!" Clutch is what makes player become MVP candidates and Hall-of-Fame contenders. Either you have it in you or you don't! Being a "finisher" is the most prized "signature" skill a basketball player can have in my opinion.  Damian has that key ingredient which means he's on his way to becoming a special player and certainly he's making a bid for an all-star selection this year! I'm very high on this young man. He doesn't have many flaws that he won't be able to improve on.
