  • The Maturation of Russell Westbrook
    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.

  • Chicago Bulls Keep Place As Most Popular Professional Basketball Team, Followed by Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics
    The THE HARRIS POLL 1996 #3 For Release: Monday, January 22, 1996 CHICAGO BULLS KEEP PLACE AS MOST POPULAR PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL TEAM, FOLLOWED BY HOUSTON ROCKETS AND BOSTON CELTICS Kentucky tops list of favorite college basketball teams with Duke and North Carolina in second and third place. by Humphrey Taylor The Chicago Bulls are still the nation's favorite professional basketball team and Kentucky is the most popular college team. The Bulls' popularity can be attributed to the exploits of Michael Jordan, America's most popular athlete. Also, the Bulls have the best record in pro basketball this year. Kentucky, which has a long tradition of producing strong college basketball teams, is thought by many experts to have one of the best (if not the best) teams this year. The Wildcats are currently number two in the Associated Press' mens college basketball poll. These are the results of a Harris Poll of 1,004 adults surveyed between November 30 and December 3, 1995. The Houst~nRockets edged out the Boston Celtics for second place among professional teams. Two years ago, the Rockets were in tenth place; their rapid rise in popularity is due in large part to their victories in the last two NBA championships. Another professional team which has moved up sharply since December 1993 is the Indiana Pacers to eighth place; they were not in the top fifteen two years ago. The Phoenix Suns have maintained their fifth place spot and the New York Knicks keep the fourth place. Louis Harris & Associates, Inc. 111 Fifth Avenue NYC (212) 539-9600 1 When it comes to college basketball, Kentucky, in fifth place in 1993, is now the i nation's favorite team, followed by Duke who was the favorite team two years ago.

  • In Just a Few Weeks, My Nephew Henry Will Be Setting out on a New Adventure, Starting Kindergarten for the First Time
    In just a few weeks, my nephew Henry will be setting out on a new adventure, starting kindergarten for the first time. Most of us remember that part of our lives. And while I don’t remember the first day specifically, I do remember it being a bit of a change from my morning routine of kids shows and the safety and comfort of home. And in the years that followed, school and growing up brought with it many ups and downs. There were some tough classes, some tough people to deal with, some smooth spots and rough spots. But there was also the need to trust that through the inevitable challenges, that as a person if I wanted to grow I had to trust in God’s plan, but also be willing to trust that God might take me to places that required me to do new things if I wanted to change as a person. If you were to look up the name Vin Baker, you would find one of the assistant coaches of the NBA. An astute basketball mind would remember him as a player for the Timberwolves for one season. But if you were to look at his life, what you’d find is a man who at one point had become stuck in a rut, a very dangerous one that seemed that it would never change. And to find the way out of that, he’d have to trust in God and reach out to Him, trust in other people, and realize that what he was clinging to wasn’t fulfilling him, but destroying him.
