Luka's magic hits me too like vintage Magic Johnson did


Like anyone else, the Luka Magic amazes me too. But there's no miracle in it. It's all for real. Luka Doncic's magic tricks inside the playing court are something he does very ordinarily in every NBA game. He doesn't even have to practice those tricks. It just comes as need be. The original magician of the NBA of course is the legendary Earvin 'Magic' Johnson of the vintage Lakers squad. Magic Johnson should still be uncompamparable to anyone. Dallas Maverick's Doncic is just as close enough to it but I am so delighted that there is someone with the same mold now who has great entertainment value to the NBA. The league needs players like Doncic because of his athletic ability and his entertaining assets which we all now call the Luka Magic. Magic Johnson and Luka Doncic have something in common. They are both big guards at six feet five inches and they can play the point role. Both displays multiple roles in on both ends of the floor. They are extremely brilliant with their dribbling. They display all sorts of passing especially on crucial situations whether for an alleyhoop, behind the back or in between the their legs from behind or between the legs of an opponent to escape the tight defense, and all that stuff. Like Johnson, the signature pivot move and footwork of Doncic is very interesting to watch. Both can penetrate and attack the rim at any given situation. Both have proven that they can win a game from their shoulders. Their shooting touch is a beauty to watch. Both can rain threes and have high percentage from the free throw line. They are consistent top scorers of the team or even the game itself. Both are media material and extremely heartwarming to fans. Because of these attitudes and their similar entertainment value , Luka Doncic, like Magic Johnson, is my kind of guy.

Maybe Nets' time

Image
Brooklyn Nets booked their 11th straight win and because of this I just can feel that maybe this is the year they have been waiting for.      The Nets have been touted as one of the best teams in the league the past two years since the superstar trio experiment of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden.       But expectations did not materialize and they had to send Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons.      Although they have started this year on a rollercoaster ride.      After a 13-12 record, the Nets are now 24-12 behind league leading Boston Celtics (26-10).      The Nets repeated their mastery over the Atlanta Hawks and the Hornets this early in the season.       With a strong backup from TJ Warren, Royce O'Neale, Nic Claxton, Yuta Watanabe, Seth Curry and Edmond Sumner, the Nets are not really leaning all its hopes behind its superstar trio.   ...

The Philippines has solid support wherever Clarkson wants to go

Image
I must say this. The whole  Philippines will support every move that Jordan Clarkson does in his NBA journey. He is well-loved here including yours truly.      The Filipinos' solid backing of him reciprocates his sincerest desires to represent the country in the world stage or any international tournament.       He already played for the  national team, Gilas Pilipinas, twice in the FIBA world and the Asian Games.     Through the years, the Lakers have a solid fan base from here but the Warriors got a piece of the piece starting from the dynasty era that was built around players like Stephen, Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Dreymond Green and of course coach Steve Kerr. That I think is more applied to the younger generation of basketball fans who of course did not in anyway fully grasp the heydays of the vintage Lakers like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worth and later the duo of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Ne...

Wishing Westbrook to stay with Lakers

Image
  Laker guard Russell Westbrook rebounds and scores on a fast break against the Nuggets. It's not that I am a Laker for life fan. But I like Russell Westbrook even before he wore the purple and gold jersey.       He should remain at Los Angeles. His game has been improving over the Lakers recent outings following their dismal 0-5 start this season.      I like Westbrook because of his razzle dazzle play. I like his all-around game.      In fact, Westbrook holds the all-time best record in triple-double with 196.     His last triple-double game was against Denver on Dec. 17, 2022. The Lakers beat Nuggets 126-108 with Westbrook closing out with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.      He almost did it again in their next won game on Dec 19 over the Wizards, 119-117, with his 9-8-9 finish but did not play in the team's next two games when they lost to Phoenix,130-104, on Dec 20 and to Sacramento, 134-120, on...
