Giannis and the Bucks: No need for more super teams

By


      The Bucks winning a title proves that super teams are not necessary to win an NBA championship. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks proved if you have a team that plays as a team, you can win it all. A team that believes in itself. A cohesive unit with one goal in mind. Giannis proved that loyalty to the team that drafted you is something special. They went through tough losses together yet he didn't pack up and join a super team. His team in fact beat a so called super team. 

     Super teams were a response to Danny Ainge, through shrewd trade, was able to put together a team that had Kevin Garnett, The Truth, and Ray. When they broke Lebron James in Cleveland instead of going back there, The King went and started a so called super team with Wade and Bosh. And even though they won a few titles, they lost more than they won.  
     This year's creation of a super team consisted of Durant, Harden and Irving and everyone was ready to hand them the title. Even though they had three top tier players, the rest of their pieces were not very good. The Bucks despite going down to them 0-2 found a way to beat them in seven - and you want to know why - because they were the better TEAM! Guys like Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, Tucker, Portis, and the rest of the team and of course Giannis made up a team willing to sacrifice for each other! 

      This Bucks team gives hope to all the other teams who have drafted a guy or two, that you know you can win a title without being that so called super team. Look how far the Hawks got this season with one true star in Trae Young yet that group played as a team. For Celtics fans, this Bucks team should give hope because the Celtics have guys like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Now they need to continue to build a team around them. 

     The Bucks and Giannis have proven that loyalty matters. Team work matters! A team that, when staring down despair and trailing in various series, found a way to come back and win and do it together. They knocked off the so called super team why because they were a complete team! The Bucks and Giannis are another example that if your star gives it his all on every play the rest of the team follows suit. Talk about a memorable performance with 50 points to bring your franchise it's first title in 50 years! NBA fans, this season was magical and now we know super teams are a thing of the past. Real true teams with stars that are loyal are the new wave in the NBA!

By
According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S
