The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

    Isiah is my idol! I've never seen anyone play like that. He is still the #1 player in Detroit Pistons history and I don't care if NBA's fans don't understand his greatness. Maybe by watching videos like these, they'll change their minds about the Detroit's bad boy!

    History breaks up the Celtics championship era into three segments: The Bill Russell Era (1956-1969), the 70s (1970-1979), and the Bird Era (1979-1986), We really should be talking about it as one long, singular dynasty. 16 championships in 30 years. Players become coaches, Tommy Heinsohn takes over for Russell and they get back to championship form, then Dave Cowens gives it a try, then KC Jones wins a couple at the end of the whole era. If you studied Celtics history, you see how players overlap the eras. The common threads through it all: Red Auerbach as coach and GM, Johnny Most on the radio, and the old Boston Garden. Had Len Bias and Reggie Lewis not died so young, could the Celtics mega-dynasty continued into the 90s, and if so, would Jordan's Bulls never have emerged, and would we even be associating Jordan with 6-0?

    John Havlicek won 8 titles and everyone gives credit to Russell but what many don't realize is that he won 2 without him. Including in 74 when he beat Kareem and the big O in the finals

    Hondo is definitely the third greatest Celtic of all time, after Russell and Bird. The hard choice is fourth. Maybe Bob Cousy.

    Ngl my mind was absolutely blown when the talking heads started spelling doom for the defending champs with the reigning MVP/Best player... and I say this as a LBJ fan/KD Stan. 2-0 lead is regarded as the most dangerous lead in hockey for a reason. It's almost like the NBA is some sort of WWE enterprise where storylines are more important than the competition. Is this a premade storyline being put into action? Push the new greatest in the league while giving attention/respect to the one most likely to compete/succeed them in the future? Makes perfect sense as LBJ gets ready to leave the league. What doesn't make sense was the reaction to the first 2 games.

    No way Jokic isn’t in the top 15 at this point. Should be 4x MVP now. He is definitely knocking on the door for top 10. He may not be the goat but I am taking him as my first pick for an all time team. I have very thankfully seen him in person and He is the only player in history who has a part of almost every legend’s game.

    @orvillewright122 8 годин тому

    He was a great player no doubt but he never did anything close to what MJ did and his first 6 championships were on the same team that Bill Russell was leading including the last two years as a player-coach. Havlicek is one of the best Celtics players ever in my opinion but in all fairness MJ was the scoring champion every year that he won the championship and finals MVP and Pippen became a great Hall of Fame player because of Jordan’s tutelage and leadership in practice and scrimmages. The playoffs were only 2 rounds in the 1960s when John was winning with Russell and Cousy. He definitely deserves his flowers and respect and belongs in the all time ranks with other great players like Jerry West and Kobe and Dwayne Wade but Jordan has doing a lot more with a lot less help.

    @elbinbin1575 11 годин тому

    You spent the whole video contradicting yourself , the teams that were bad were because bad management the good were because they got good players, the bulls were a top heavy team the pistons were a team that needed their roll players the league suffered so much because of the money grab that was the expansion that the league had to take over charlotte and help on the folding teams
