:10—Diehard Laker man that I am, of course I am glad to have Luka Doncic join the team to keep us out of last place …even though I have to die a thousand deaths before you get me to believe he’s an NBA MVP in any year! That being said, are there enough basketballs for Luka and LeBron to co-exist with?
:09—Speaking of slow deaths…you’re killing me softly with this Bronny James thing! Enough already. He’s just not good enough and that’s not a crime. The crime is everyone who is in on the deal trying to make us think he is. And his dad is the primary criminal. Yeah, I said it!!!
:08—While we’re here at the NBA, all I can tell ya is the NBA All Star Weekend and Game is a money making joke and “everybody plays the fool” for watching it.
:07—That being said, Mac McClung…the 6 foot 2 inch White man who outjumps all the Black men who have ever, ever, ever jumped, is a “bad man.” He won the Slam Dunk Contest for the third time in a row …first time ever done! (C’mon Myron, he jumped over a car and a man and dunked the ball. He being my man Flyin’ Myron Brown, McKees Rocks native, Sto Rox High School, Slippery Rock legend and Hall of Famer—drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves—won the CBA Slam Dunk Contest back-to-back years.)
:06—Oh, this just in, Halle Berry, still fine as wine at age 58 and J-Lo still amazing after stupid Ben Affleck. Now maybe she’ll call me back? (I know it’s not sports, but a brother drifts off every now and then…)
:05—Pittsburgh Steelers will do this and you can take it to the bank. They will keep Russell Wilson; Justin Fields will hit the open market. They will get a star receiver (and you heard it here first, that receiver will be Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins. He and George Pickens will light up the NFL next year.) Once again, a brother will drift off every now and then!!!
:04—You all can keep playing the social media “Best of All Time Game,” but here’s the answer and it will never change. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. #1. Three straight New York High School State Titles and three straight MVPs. #2. His freshman team beat the UCLA Varsity Team. #3. Three NCAA Championships and three time All-American. #4. The real legit NBA scoring champion. (LeBron had a four year advantage not going to college… c’mon man). #5 Six NBA titles, 15 All NBA teams, 6 MVPs! So, please stop it, just stop it.
:03—So, here’s your all-time greatest 10, so you can shut up about that too: Kareem, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Connie Hawkins, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Pete Maravich. It’s done, you’re done, it’s over.
:02—The Penguins are done, the Pirates will be done soon. I don’t know what else to tell ya!
:01—For the true basketball legends fans, John Giammarco and the Pittsburgh Basketball Club will host the Pittsburgh Basketball Club Awards on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at Montour Heights Country Club. Special Award recognition will feature the 1976-77 Duquesne Eastern 8 NCAA Championship Team featuring Norm Nixon and Baron “B. B.” Flenory, as well as numerous other Western Pennsylvania basketball legends. For additional information, please call 412-403-9086. :00—GAME OVER!
