They finished right around where they should of. Not saying he's a great or even good coach, but he gets way too much heat for the Lakers shortcomings. The team simply lacks talent in certain areas. One of the worst PG rotations in basketball, worst bench in the league, and little to no shooting. Can't really judge if Brown is a championship caliber head coach until you give him a championship caliber roster.
Leaders exist in every walk of life. Whether it's in school, business, or sports, they will always exist, for leaders are essential for our growth, for the growth of society, that is a must. Their job is to lead their men and bring out their best qualities, the attributes inside which define them as people, and help these people display these qualities to the world so they can help further the advancement of society as a whole. They must help these people grow, by molding them as people and as individuals. In basketball the head coach is not a leader, but, the leader. This is the gentleman who must lead his men and help them grow, so they can best display their talents. Mr. Brown, here, is a leader, but we must decide how great of a leader.
Green Apple wrote: San Antonio Spurs are team for the ages, that as much is known. They play with exceptional team spirit and determination, always making that extra pass, while never taking a play off. They are truly a team to be reckoned with, a force for the ages, sure we've seen great teams over the years, but this is truly something special, this is team transforming a game into art. Watching the Spurs in today's NBA must be what it was like to watch PIcasso paint one of his masterpieces or Mozart creating his requiem, true, real art that only grows greater with time. They may be a team of destiny, or perhaps, a team for all ages.
Green Apple wrote: underestimate the competitive spirit of these remarkable athletes displaying their gifts on the greatest stage. The Spurs are truly the greatest competition, an army, a basketball machine running on all cylinders. They are a force, sure, but forces must be tested. James will be that test perhaps and we will see what happens when a perfect basketball army meets a force of nature, the immovable object meets the irresistible force, we are truly blessed to witness what might unfold
Green Apple wrote: our critics is surely what we all hope and dream of. James, a master of his craft, has exploded into the NBA universe and his star has burned brighter and brighter, only dulled by the likes of the graceful Dirk Nowitzki or the stoic general Tim Duncan. There are few things in sports which need to be seen to be believed, Mr. James is surely one of them. This is a man of enormous gifts, a basketball wizard putting his spell on the league. A basketball wizard meets an army of cohesion, what unfolds from here, well... something very, very special.
Green Apple wrote: are three, four things which makes a artist truly special, physical and basketball skill, competitive excellence, the ability and need to get better, and the people put in place to harness and focus the abilities of this special talent. When all these needs are required and met we are truly blessed, the sports world has been made greater by this striking talent. Unbridled creativity met with fierce competitiveness... what a show.
Green Apple wrote: can call him a homer, sure, but is that really an insult. What we're doing when we're supporting our teams is putting every ounce of passion and energy into these games, cheering these artists. We get so enamored with our heros, these elegant performers and more importantly, so firmly attached to our teams. We become a part of the core, part of the system. With all our energy and passion, we give the performers inspiration to drive themselves even further and test their inner will. The team we support is a cohesive unit, we almost become a part of the unit when we so fervently exert our emotions.
Green Apple wrote: this point it certainly does appear that the odds are stacked against them. A cohesive basketball army has reigned down upon the NBA and they are reeking havoc upon the league, in a truly inspiring effort. The sum is greater than the parts, they have become one. Twelve individuals, performers and artists have come together to create basketball art. They show their true passion for the sport with their gorgeous passing and their remarkable teamwork serves as the finest example to the future generation that looks up to the heros of the present for a guiding light. The spurs, once thought to be a dominant team of the past, has returned from the basketball abyss and once again risen to the pinnacle of their profession. They are impressive, to be sure, but even the greatest of the greats will be tested and I don't doubt that they will ultimately face their biggest test. What we will see in the upcoming weeks are the best at what they do and I expect it to be pure brilliance... basketball bliss.
Green Apple wrote: is the truly the greatest time of year and this is what makes this time so exceptional and so pleasing to the masses. These players have given all their talents and woven them within the team to create a perfect basketball unit. The beauty of this time is what will ultimately follow, we will get to see a true champion crowned. There's nothing more glorious than seeing artists rewarded for their exceptional gifts and their sacrifice for team. This is the time... nothing compares to this.
Green Apple wrote: lies one of the great physical traits of perhaps the league's most wondrous athletic marvel. Here's a guy whose speed is remarkable, but soon becomes an afterthought. We're witnessing a fusion of small foward and line backer that we haven't quite seen yet, a beautiful athletic creation sent from the basketball universe and brought down to the grateful fans, who having watched him for nine seasons have still not fully understood what they are watching. A magnificent blend of power and agility, speed and reckless abandon. We've seen so much, yet we expect so much more. It would be a tragic outcome if this exquisite marvel sprung from the earth did not achieve his ultimate basketball success. A talent far too special to go wasted in any sense of the word.
