Minutos de Gloria(II): LeBron James vs Magic.

August 2009

Con esta entrada me estreno en esta sección. Esa en la que hablaré de esos momentos históricos que deben verse al menos una vez en la vida para conocer verdaderamente lo que esta de fondo en las siglas N-B-A. Minutos de anillo, minutos de que separan a un crack de un jugador, minutos de hombres, minutos de anotación, minutos de historia... minutos de gloria.
Esta va dedicada a uno de los jugadores más dominantes de la NBA: LeBron James. Se produjo en Cleveland(Ohio), empate entre los Cavs y los Magic en el 2º partido de las finales de conferencia. Canasta de 2 de Turkoglu a falta de 1 segundo para el final(95-93). Los Magic ya se veían con el 2-0 en las manos pero todavía tenía que entrar en escena "El Elegido", que con un rápido tiro cayéndose hacia atrás mete el triple de la victoria. Alegría para los Cavs y su afición y los jugadores de los Magic que no se creían que tenían el partido ganado hasta ese momento.

Pese a que LeBron puso el 1-1 en la serie los Magic se llevaron sorprendentemente la serie por 4-2. Los Cavs que eran los campeones de todo el mundo(sobre todo de las casas de apuestas) se quedó sin opciones de anillo y tuvieron que tirar mucho material de las finales ya preparado(camisetas, gorras...)

Aunque después los Cavs no pasaron de ronda, convirtió a LeBron en un jugador dominador y contradijo a los que dicen que no tiene tiro exterior y que solo está en la NBA por su físico, se tuvieron que tragar sus palabras porque metió un triple, no un normal, un que pasará a la historia, uno de esos "Minutos de gloria".

Los momentos finales del partido con el triple:

Stephen Jackson quiere salir de los Warriors a un equipo con opciones.

August 2009

Stephen Jackson, jugador de Golden State Warriors, ha expresado su deseo de ser traspasado a un equipo competitivo y con opciones al título. Según fuentes Jackson tiene como preferencia a Cleveland, aunque también estaría dispuesto a recalar en cualquiera de los tres equipos tejanos de la NBA(San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks y Houston Rockets)También dejó caer que los Knicks, equipo de su amigo Harrington, serían una buena opción.

"dallasbasketball.com" ,informa que Don Nelson estaría dispuesto a negociar con los Dallas Mavericks para enviar a Jackson a los Mavs a cambio de un jugador de último año de contrato. Por lo que las opciones son o Josh Howard(2 años de contrato aunque el segundo opcional para el equipo) o varios jugadores(Kris Humphries, Drew Gooden, Jose Barea, Quinton Ross,Tim Thomas y Greg Buckner)El otro jugador que acaba contrato es Dirk Nowitzki pero esa opción es imposible.

Estas han sido las frases del Capitán Jack: “Tengo 31 años. Tan sólo tengo cuatro o cinco años más de carrera”. “Quiero estar en un equipo aspirante a Play offs y conseguir otro anillo”.“No creo que sea un Warrior el próximo año. Estoy buscando una salida” Dice el jugador de los Warriors que ganó un anillo con los Spurs en 2003.

Jackson llegó a los Warriors en 2007 y en las últimas seis temporadas ha firmado promedios superiores a los 15 puntos por encuentro.

El joven jugador de los Miami Heat, Michael Beasley está atravesando una difícil situación. El que fuera nº2 del draft de 2008 tuvo que pasar este fin de semana por una clínica de desintoxicación de Houston, según publica Yahoo Sports!

Una foto publicada en su Twitter, en la que Beasley mostraba un tatuaje en su espalda, con lo que parecía ser una bolsa de marihuana, desató la polémica.

John Wall Dunks On NBA Star Jerry Stackhouse Video

August 2009
John Wall, the nation's top recruit from the class of 2009, has yet to play a game for John Calipari at Kentucky, but the incoming freshman has already drawn attention for his fantastic moves.

John Wall dunked on NBA star veteran Jerry Stackhouse at Great NC Pro-Am Summer Basketball League. Wall cruises past a defender on the perimeter and rises up on Stackhouse, who is the last remaining defender. Just as LeBron James was a step too late to prevent Xavier guard Jordan Crawford from posterizing him last month, the same fate fell upon Stackhouse at an event he helped found. Only this time - unlike LeBron's case - Stackhouse's people didn't confiscate the video. The former NBA star handled it appropriately, inbounding the ball and hustling back down the court. The public address announcer can be heard saying, "John Wall's in the building!"

The rest of college basketball will soon recognize the name -- and awe-inspiring moves.

LeBron James Breaks His Silence on DunkGate

August 2009
Finally, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James speaks up about he's got dunked on by Xavier's Jordan Crawford at his Nike skills camp last summer. In an exclusive interview, Lebron James also speaks about the reason why he silently left the arena after losing from Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals.

King James speaks about getting dunked on:


"I never told anyone to confiscate any tapes. Nike has a no videotape policy at pick-up games. They've always done that. Now that LeBron is involved, it's blown up. It's a play that happens in basketball all the time. You can go on YouTube and see me being dunked on by a lot of guys. I like to call myself a shot blocker and [getting dunked on] tends to happen. Jordan Crawford is going to be a good basketball player ..."

King James speaks about the reason why he left silently after losing from Magic:

"I wouldn't have done it the same. I would have done the media. Looking back on it, without you guys, there's no LeBron James, D-Wade, Tiger Woods or no Peyton Manning. If I could have started over again, I would have done the media. As I thought about it I could see why people were talking about because your job starts when mine ends.

"But as far as the dunk or whatever car I'm driving, some things you shouldn't comment and some things you should. I look at the no handshake like this — during the regular season, no one ever shakes hands. You move on to the next game. I congratulated Dwight Howard(notes) through email and told him good luck in the Finals. Shaking hands is not a big deal to me. It's not being a sore loser, it’s moving on. Sometimes people want you to accept losing and I'll never accept losing."
