Should I write about Jerry West, who immortalized his character in the NBA logo? I thought.

In 1960, he first entered the league with the 2nd overall draft, played 14 seasons for the Lakers, finished his playing career and started playing basketball as a coach, general manager, and consultant.
He has been to the finals 8 times in his career and won only one championship. He really hates losing. The years of not winning the championship, even though I qualified for the finals, are often referred to as nightmares and scars left behind. Hard to explain in words. Perhaps because he was a great man, he was always admired. Averaged 40 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in each 1964-65 playoff run. 2018's LeBron and this year's Doncic felt like Elgin felt 7 years with Baylor.
To average 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists in his career, not in the playoffs, but in the season, is an achievement that no father's son can achieve. Unfortunately, his prime was during the great era of Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics.
It is said that he made jumping and throwing an art from the time he started making baskets. The facts show that he was an offensive monster. In addition, its protection should be emphasized. West was named to the All-Defensive First Team four times and to the Second Team once in his career. Only in the last 5 years of his career did the league start naming the All-Defensive Team. It can be pointed out that he was still one of the top players in the years when the players were in their normal role, or when they were only making money.

How did Jerry West become the NBA logo?
In 1969, when the league decided to update its logo, league commissioner Walter Kennedy chose Elaine Siegel, who had redesigned the logo for MLB's 100th anniversary. But in the 1960s, the league's players became involved in drugs and their names were regularly involved in scandals. As it became public, the NBA's popularity continued to fall far short of MLB's. Therefore, in order to be the right story for the players and the audience, it was necessary to choose a player who will be immortalized on Logon.
Through a sports journalist friend, Siegel rummaged through the magazine's photo archives and found Lakers photographer Wayne Roberts' photo of Jerry. It is said that the ball was played with the left hand, and the visuals also looked perfect in the vertical position. Thus, the current logo of the NBA was created, and the color combination of "Red, White and Blue" together with the MLB is still there.

The future of West's player will also be bright in the league. The Lakers' greatest success as general manager was in 1996 when they signed free agent Shaquille O'Neal and drafted Kobe Bryant. From 2002-07, he served as the Grizzlies' front office, improving the team's success and laying the foundation for the great Grizzlies we know today.
He went on to become an advisor to the Warriors, where he built the legendary Dynasty Warriors, and his highlight was keeping Clay on the team, who was about to be replaced by Kevin Lava.
In 2019, the Clippers brought Paul George and Kawhi Leonard 2 to build a Super Team. The team was not successful without him.

Read this very passage with naana in mind and without lyrical thoughts. He died at the age of 86. This year, in a sense, one of his wishes came true. A lifelong Celtic hater, he said he never wanted to see the team win another championship. It didn't die because I didn't want to see it! It's a wish to die without seeing it alive!

Region 14 teams, not the league's other 29 teams, will field teams to stop the Boston Celtics. But which team has the ability to stop?

It's clear that teams will be very busy this summer, running a stable super lineup and selling them competitively. In 2017, after the Warriors won the championship, Kyrie went to the Celtics, PG and Melo went to the Thunder, and CP3 went to the Rockets. It was a spectacular summer. The eastern team will try to work better and strengthen the team.
It's true that the Knicks are the most composed team right now. The combination of Brunson and Randle really isn't going to beat the Celtics playing like this. I would immediately name the Sixers, the Bucks with Giannis-Dame, who will not be able to play together due to injuries, as the teams that can work a lot in the summer and have enough money with the Celtics in the future.
The Sixers' front line has seen Maxey improve over the years, and they can bring in a player they want at SF or PF. By bringing in a two-way star from this area, he is building a team that can limit the play of Tatum and Brown. Suddenly Chesbrunda, STAKES ENSIENES INGOA's GATESANASANES INGOA's hex ermst white Ni ugtalator transition SCASECMANCECMANOCL does not do what the Program CHI required citizen puts into the Playoffs- country guarantor pulls down. Anyway, if not in real life, know that you can build a team that can put the Sixers-r Celtics on 2K under certain circumstances. Who knows, a healthy Embiid might have a series to prove himself and raise his legacy.

We couldn't see the matchup of who will see who in the playoffs. Looking at the season itself, the Bucks vs. Celtics games are really competitive, just what they are. Fans of both teams may remember that in the Bucks' 2 losses, 1 of them had a small margin, and the other had a very possible Giannis file. Considering that the Celtics lost 1 game, and the Porzingis mistake was a blow-out game, it seems that the Bucks vs. Celtics series was not going to be decided early.
This summer, the Bucks need to get rid of Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton in the 2-on-1, plus Bruce Brown and Alex Caruso at the SG position who can defend, cut, and take the ball and drop it from the 3. . Next year Milukee Bucks will come to the "Podcast Room" and say "Shaaltsy" and sit down. Bucks Lopez and Connaughton want to call Bulls, Raptors, and Warriors.
The point is, whether this management builds it or not, Doc Rivers is the only one who can destroy the Bucks. If the Giannis-Dame combination plays correctly, it will be a really mismatcho in the East, and it will be a beautiful but eventful series, such as Giannis taking revenge against the Celtics in 2022 and Lillard Holiday. In addition, Gianis has recovered and Lillard is not pretending to leave the team this summer, it is important to prepare and come in shape, otherwise it will turn into one of the worst seasons. In addition, if Middleton is also like a person, the third player of this team will not lack a person like Maveri (also against Celtics, Middleton feels like Kobe). You may know that there are several super teams that are only going to win in the region, or they will collapse by themselves.
On the other hand, the Mavericks and Thunder 2 will face the question of who will be the first to make up for the missing position, and whether the Wolves will be successful if they separate the 2 years. Also, if the champions of 2023 are thickened with substitutes and the MPJ is improved a little, there is a lot to be said about West-n favori. But if I want to say it directly, if they let the old people go and bring in one or two good defenders, the Milwaukee Bucks are the best team to watch today with the Boston Celtics. In fact, we agree that there were more people who were expecting the Bucks vs. Celtics duel to open the East series this year.

Kawhi Leonard triple double Clippers beat Lakers!

D'Angelo Russell: 27 points, 10 assists, 4 three point
James Harden: 23 points, 10 assists, 4 three point

18 years ago, on January 22, 2006, Kobe Bryant scored 81, the most 3-pointer in modern history, and it still stands. So let's mention some facts we know about this great game and this season.

- Kobe reached 81 points by scoring 14 points in the 1st quarter, 12 points in the 2nd quarter, 27 points in the 3rd quarter, and 28 points in the 4th quarter. As you can see, they scored 55 points in the second half, while the Lakers were under 18 points in the first two quarters. However, the Raptors scored only 41 points in the second half and lost the game by 18 points.

- This performance took place after his eldest daughter Natalie Diamante Bryant's 3rd birthday. Vanessa wrote about this later on her insta.

- Scored just 18 of his 81 points against Jalen Rose. However, he did not get rid of the 81 joke for the rest of his life because he had the most points against him among Raptors defenders. If you remember, in the 2000 finals, there is also a duel between Rose and Kobe.

- It is interesting that the 81-point game was recorded as the 666th game of his career. He is also credited with scoring 66% of his team's total.

- In January 2006, Kobe averaged 43.4 points for the month and 35.4 points for the entire season, which was the only 35+ point season since Michael Jordan in '88, until James Harden's 35+ season in '19.

- The Lakers' Pace of that season was 90.9, ranking 15th in the league. But this season, the Bulls have the slowest Pace in the league, but it is much higher at 96.1. At least 6 attacks means more basketball.

- So, there is an assumption that if we had seen such a performance now, at least 6 or more attacks would have taken place, and if we had performed 60%, we would have scored 90+ points.

- Unfortunately, Kobe finished 7th in the region by dragging such a team, but his one great season ended when Kobe finished 4th in the MVP poll, not 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd. Now understand that Chris Mihm, Kwame Brown, and Smush Parker's skills and methods were players who could not even fit into the league's bench.

The worst thing is that Giannis himself refused to play under Nick Nurse in the summer. And because of the guilt of choosing Adrian Griffin, he fires himself, saying that it is dangerous for a player to have too much power.
It's similar to the way Lebron fires David Blatt because he's sick :v.

Ok2 probably won't be able to win the Bucks championship in the next few years. Doc Rivers has just been named head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
It is difficult to expect anything from such a person who made the teams of CP, Kawhi-PG, Embiid-Harden era rivals, but failed to achieve success. Furthermore, the big question is whether Giannis can be a winner again. I don't understand :V.

The owners of New York this season are the New York Knicks!

The Knicks came up short without Hartenstein on the board, but finished the game well and got another win. As soon as they defend, the other Nets don't even score because they can't finish by nature. Josh Hart only scored 2 points in this game, but it's good that he knows his role in this team and the coach knows his players when it comes to the decisive moment. Of course, Brunson and Randle are still doing what they are doing and producing All Star performance, while the others are not able to score like that, they are still trying to get close.
Mikal Bridges from the Nets made a great 7-for-3, but he'll lose the things he needs right at the end. In the end, if it was Dinwiddie instead of DSJ, maybe he would have at least directed it, but it's very bad. In fact, Claxton killed on the board, Bridges played well throughout the game and it was a good game, but it is difficult to watch because there are so many players who do not make shots at times.

In the last 5 seasons, Terry Rozier has made more 3-pointers than Steph Curry.🔥
