My favorite basketball clips

This was the first "ballislife" video i ever watched, and its safe to say i was hooked immediately. Most of the video is pretty vintage home video of now NBA stars. I watch this video before almost every basketball tourney i go to. It definitely pumps me up.

This is my current favorite ballislife video, it stars Demar DeRozen who currently plays for the toronto raptors. He has an amazing vertival leap and takes advantage of every inch of it.



Basketball blogs and sports blogs in general are usually very cut and dry. But with the addition of video and possible music, most sports blogs can be greatly improved; mine included. It has been a very interesting and insightful experience blogging for the first time. I never think that other people care or like what i find interesting, but when i finally took a chance and vented about jeremy lin or the awful managerial decision of the warriors; people seem to agree.

Jeremy Tyler + Andris Beidrins + Richard Jefferson = $22 million of no talent

Im no millionaire, but im gunna go ahead and say that Jeremy Tyler, Andris Beidrins, and Richard Jefferson as NBA players, arent worth anywhere near 22 million dollars/year. Jeremy Tyler was benched in the professional Israeli basketball league (lets say its worse than the D-league). Andris Beidrins cant defend any NBA starting center, let alone score on them. And Richard Jefferson was possibly considered good 3 years ago, when he still had the ability to jump or move in a "quick" fashion.  Now that we have Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut, and Carl Landry as big men, we really need to cut the fat and get rid of these "soft" hoopers. Like all NBA  teams, the Warriors only have 15 roster spots, so why not keep the young promising players instead of the players we know havent been able to cut it in the NBA. The Warriors have a solid chance at making the playoffs this season, we need to cut the fat and keep the upward trend going.
