Nearly a year ago, just over ten-and-a-half months, 322 days to be exact, I wrote about the current landscape of the NBA1 for the first time since the year prior; here’s to tradition, I suppose. Unlike last year, I won’t be nearly as professional as the issues I highlighted years ago that many fans have […]
Read more "An Irritated NBA Critique"The 2023-24 NBA regular season wrapped up a little over two-and-a-half months ago, and I couldn’t have cared less. Last season’s playoffs were quite entertaining, and I was hoping it would lead to a more entertaining regular season for 2023-24, but unfortunately, that didn’t end up being the case. Once again, I enjoyed the playoffs […]
Read more "A Nonchalant NBA Critique"A little under a year ago, 335 days to be exact, I analyzed the first ten seasons of the NBA, ending the article with a quick summary of how the ’50s Celtics became a dynasty when they drafted Bill Russell1. Throughout that article, I created my hypothetical awards for MVP and Finals MVP for the […]
Read more "Roger’s Retroactive Finals MVPs"It appears the NBA is attempting to get me more invested in the regular season once again after the entertaining postseason they had. Last year, I commended the Warriors for winning another championship1 after the collapse of their Hamptons Five lineup; this year, I must commend the Nuggets for remaining healthy in the playoffs and […]
Read more "Trump Card: The Joker"About 57 days ago, I admitted I was looking forward to seeing Kevin Durant on the Phoenix Suns following his trade request from the Brooklyn Nets1. Nets owner Joseph Tsai (or 蔡崇信 if you prefer) made it clear he was staying, and Durant announced to the media shortly2 after that he would be. At the […]
Read more "Hampered Negotiations"What exactly constitutes the modern era of basketball? It’s a term you hear talking heads on television, content creators, and random commenters use in basketball debates, but there’s not even a consensus definition of this supposed era. Recurring readers may remember my examination1 of the early years of professional basketball and the biological terms used […]
Read more "The Childhood of the NBA"I’ve noticed my basketball writings have a cyclical nature to them. It’s been 335 days since I’ve discussed basketball; my article “The Numerology Behind LeBron’s Number Change”1 was purely a numerological analysis of him switching from No. 23 to No. 6. The three basketball-related2 articles3 I published4 before the numerological breakdown that year were more […]
Read more "Better Late Than Never"It’s likely something you don’t think about much, but numbers are all around you every day in your daily life. Even the days of the months and the time we base on our daily schedules are composed of numbers; it’s fair to argue this world is a numerical one. That’s enough fuel to kickstart another […]
Read more "The Numerology Behind LeBron’s Numerical Change"Under normal circumstances, I would christen this article under the “Game Film” title I use to analyze individual championship series. Unfortunately, this is far from the standard, as there appear to be only 36 seconds of footage1 available from the entire series. However, I have the internet. With that in mind, the information available mainly […]
Read more "Expeditious Discourse: 1947 BAA Finals"Allow me to state this is not an earnest attempt at predicting how the NBA will expand, relocate or realign. Their official position on the topic is that they do plan to expand eventually1. Whether that hypothetical “eventually” is tomorrow or 25 years from now is anyone’s guess. Nothing I’m proposing is outside the realm […]
