NBA Finals

   The Miami Heat will be taking on the San Antonio Spurs on thursday at American Airlines Center. Both Miami and Spurs are a good team full of athletes. The big three of Spurs will try to defeat the big three of Miami. In my point of view the Miami Heat will become the 2013 NBA Champions. Why I say that is because the Heat have experience and know when to play their hardest. Spurs too have experience but their gone fail and go home after game 5. Game 1 will be on Thursday at American Airlines Center. 

Make Up Your Mind! Retired or Not?

Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and the most famous. Favre use to play for the Jets, Green Bay, and the Minnesota Vikings. He started his career in Wisconsin and proved himself worthy as seasons rolled around the year. Soon afterwards, Favre started playing for the Jets. That is when  his rumors about him retiring started roaming around Football fans, in the year 2007. He retired while playing for the Jets causing them a lot of problems. Then after a short period of time, came for the Minnesota Vikings and took them to the finals. Unfortunately, things didn't go as he planned so he retired again. Technically, Brett Favre retired twice.

I think Brett Favre should have stayed just a little longer. His ability to throw the ball with accuracy gave the Vikings a higher chance of winning the championship. Especially because they came so close with the Wisconsin Green Bay at the super bowl. Another year? They might have gotten their hands on that shiny trophy.

Tracy McGrady

Tracy McGrady, better known as T-Mac was one of the most distinguished NBA players in recent memory. Many consider McGardy one of the most versatile players because of the fact that despite being 6'8 he played like a guy who was 6'0. He could shoot, he could dribble and he could pass. He played quite the illustrious career, but sadly McGrady was plagued by injury and as a result he was traded around a lot, and yet McGrady is still respected as a legend. McGrady is still a highly active memeber of both the Houston and Tampa communities. McGrady also has played many winning seasons and know has his own non-profit organization: The Tracy McGrady Foundation. There is no doubt that McGrady was an NBA legend.

Miami Heat Game 7

           Miami Heat won last night's game against the Indiana Pacers at American Airlines Center. Both teams were really competitive and gave their best performance. DWade took over the first half by dominating the paint and sharing the ball with his teammates. LeBron James and Chris Bosh helped out Wade in the seconed half by making buckets. The Indiana Pacers are a good team full of athletes. Miami Heat had control over the game from beginning to the end. Miami Heat are the Eastern confrence champions and will go on to the finals taking on the wastern confrence champions San Antonio Spurs. 

Jamarcus Russel

Jamarcus Russel is a free agent that plays the quaterback position. He was the first overall pick for the Raiders in the 2007 NFL Draft. He was dropped for inconsistent play on May 6th 2010.

Right now Jamrcus Russel is trying to make an NFL comeback. He shed 50 pounds and now wieghs 256. Interest in Russel is growing from nothing to something. I think Russel can make a comeback if he's very commited.

Players Away From Home:

 Begining players playing away from home affects a player in a way that cannot be described, at first they would brush it off at the thought of playing in a team, but slowly it gets to them. They start to miss all the funny things that happen at home and miss all the members until it affects how they play until they somehow get closure and return to normal but in most cases it lasts for many months until one or more members come to live with them like Mario Ballotelli. They will eventually come to regret the decision until make a giant mistake.

Damian Lillard: A Promising Player

Damian Lillard is the rookie point guard for the Portland Trailblazers. Lillard who played an amzing season this year has led his young team to the playoffs and ulitimetly being named rookie of the year. Lillard plays a high paced but controled vetran like form of basketball, which sets him apart from many of his rookie counter parts such as Gilchrist, Davis, and Rivers. Throughout high school and college many top ranked programs did not consider Lillard an elite player, but now he has proven all of his doubters wrong. Lillard is undoubtedly one of the best rookies in recent years, and we will be watching him closely.

Chad Henne from NFL to his community

Chad Henne was born and grew up in Berk county where he started playing football as a young kid. Back in his days, players from NFL would sign signatures and walk out on fans. But to Chad, that is simply not enough. He visited his community that helped him get there in the first place. He was coached for free and had the whole neighborhood telling him, "You will one day be the greatest quarterback." The day of his draft, most of the community drove more than 3 hours to see him drafted, showing one of the best support ever in communities.

Chad came back to his community now, to pay back in full respect. Just what a decent guy would do to show his appreciation. He is also helping the young ones achieve their dreams.

Mario Gotze is an excellent prospect and a great example of German phenomenal youth system. Gotze is mainly known for his amazing preformance during the UEFA champions.

Are Athletes Treated Better Than Others:

The stereotype in the nineties shows that football players are treated better than the average guy at school. They were more popular got invited to parties which is why everyone wants to be like the players. Yes, athletes are treated better. They are loved when they bring in championships and win but then again alot fall on their shoulders; if they lose then they are shunned until they win.
