Over the turn of the decade, documentaries suddenly became more and more interesting to see on the streaming platforms. Enter The Last Dance into the equation.

All-Star Embarrassment

I know, it has been a month since we have seen the 73rd NBA All-Star Game live from nowhere but at the homecourt of the Pacers itself, the Gainsbridge Fieldhouse. 

Wow, seriously? Not even in the larger Lucas Oil Stadium, which they built an LED board court which may look aesthetically appealing but ridiculous at the same time? Boy, that was a bummer. Why bother putting up the side events at the stadium in the first place? That definitely made it look like a disappointing weekend, especially with only 17,251 people able to watch that live.

Malanding Fanboy Problems (v. 2023)

Akalain mo, sa halos isang dekada mula nung sinulat natin ang Malanding Fanboy Problems, mukhang may na-miss out pa ata tayo ah.

Isang buwan na ang nakalipas mula noong ginulantang ang buong mundo ng balita ng kanyang biglaang pagkamatay. Pero ang sakit pa rin, pre. 

Habang pinapanood ang tribute sa kanya ng National Basketball Association sa YouTube, grabe, napaisip ako, halos dalawang dekada din pala mula noong sinundan ko ang liga na ito – gayun din ang karera niya, kahit hindi ako isang tagahanga.

Oh. Tapos na ang NBA Finals, mga tsong at tsang. At gaya ng inaasahan ng marami, nanalo ang Golden State Warriors.

Na-JR Smith ka, dre?

Ito ang nangyari: wala nang limang segundo ang natitira sa fourth quarter, nai-tabla na sa isang free throw ang talaan ng mga puntos, nagmintis sa pangalawa yung kakapmpi mo at nasaktuhan mong nakuha ang bola – na sobrang crucial sa punto noon.

Ano ang gagawin mo? Hahanap ka ba ng espasyo at tatawag ka ng timeout? O magti-tip in ka o follow-up na layup o short-range na jump shot para makaiskor at either mapwersang tumawag na timeout ang kalaban o maghimutok na lang kung 00.0 na ang nasa timer?

O uubusin mo ang oras, na akala mo ay lamang kayo ng isa?

So... NBA Finals na ulit ngayong darating na Huwebes ng gabi (Biyernes ng umaga, oras sa Pilipinas) at live ito mula sa Oakland, California. Oo, Game 1 na.

Eh ano naman ngayon?

#ThankYouKobe, 1 Year Later

04/14/2017 04:09:44 AM

It's been barely 367 days since we have seen this guy last played in an NBA game. And what a monumental game to finish – 60 points to put Kobe Bryant into one of the top scorers ever in the NBA.

Talk about ending a career with a bang, right? Especially in the last stretch of the game where everything, though dramatic, turned out be an entertaining kind of farewell.

Teammates Win It All

Perhaps of all the awards given at the National Basketball Association, this is something new yet a very important gem in the world of this sport. Well, why not? This proved how powerful the word “teamwork” is.

Tied-Ball Series!

05/25/2016 07:08:39 PM

Meanwhile, at the other side, the series is back to square one. That came after the Toronto Raptors halted a vicious rally by the Cleveland Cavaliers; thus, ramming on their second straight victory, 105-99.

Thundering On The Brink of Elimination

05/25/2016 06:48:10 PM 

The Golden State Warriors lost two straight games for the first time this season, eh?

Anyone thought it was a big deal, don't you? Well, yeah, it could really be a big deal since this time around—the defending champions ended up trailing 3-1 in their best-of-7 series for the Western Conference Championship; and also the right to represent the conference in the upcoming NBA Finals.


Wait, how on earth did that happen?

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

05/18/2016 05:17:41 PM

As of writing time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a 1-0 lead by dispatching Toronto Raptors, 115-84.

Honestly, I don't see much point on why I should get my hands on this match-up. Like seriously—setting my fandom aside—we are about to see Cleveland-Golden State Warriors for the second straight time, right? Like how the Celtics-Lakers have went on during 80s, as well as Bulls-Jazz in 1997 and 1998, and the Heat-San Antonio feud in 2013 and 2014.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Western Conference Finals

05/16/2016 10:20:10 AM

NBA

Say, I have been missing a lot on the world of basketball. It's like the last time I have written a prediction on the ongoing NBA playoffs was barely three years ago. And now, here we go to the conference finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder was on the verge of winning their first crown since 70s (as Seattle Supersonics), and plots on tasking revenge against LeBron James in the 2012 NBA Finals.

But they have a gigantic task to deal—that is to dethrone the current NBA Champions Golden State Warriors, whom are seeking back-to-back titles for the first time in franchise history.

Make or Break?

72 was the number of the day yesterday. It was so significant that it's not just any sort of divisible by anything that is related to the terms of Greatest Common Factor or Least Common Multiple.

What am I talking about?

Upside Down

03/08/2016 09:28:13 AM

Imagine a lopsided result of a heaven-and-hell game. And I mean “heaven and hell” because one team is currently sitting atop of the league standings; while one was on the verge of rebuilding for the next season.

West (and Kobe) FTW For the Nth Time!

2/27/2016 1:35:12 AM

Will not do some sort of game review for the 2016 NBA All Star Game. Well, I just been catching up with that thanks to an episode of NBA Action aired on Basketball TV. At least, for all we know, this will be a farewell mid-season exhibition for the Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant. In fact, the guard-forward did the jumpball as opposed to his levelled counterpart LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Streak's Over

12/13/2015 12:16:40 PM

For over the past few days, my attention has been caught by the Golden State Warriors. No wonder why they are the present NBA Champions. No wonder why they had a very impressive run for the past season and at present (well, so far).

Just My Opinion: Kobe's Retirement

11/30/2015 7:26:43 PM

Before anything else, first and foremeost, I admit I am not a huge fan of Kobe Brayant. In fact there were times where I hated him first. But just like an ordinary human being whose always moved by a constant word called “change,” he earned my respect. There’s no question he;s one of the most prolific scorers this league ever had.
