The NBA face of the NBA is.......

The NAB is going under a a transition during this years playoffs. The man that has become synonymous with the playoffs and the NBA final LeBron James failed to make it to the playoffs this year after 13 consecutive appearances. . And similar to when the Undertaker lost for the first time at WrestleMania after 20 straight victories, there is a feeling that something is missing the, a void one might say that has been left the we yearn to be filled. The playoffs while still a special to watch feel to a degree empty with out Lebron being in them because we have been so accustom to seeing him. But now we look for the next star to take his place as the must see attraction in these playoffs, and I believe that attraction is Giannis Antetokoumpo. The Greek Freak has been tearing up the league for all this year and its been amazing to watch and with him being so young it can only get better with time. His length, strength, speed, agility and overall dominance has been something that we haven't seen recently since Shaq. Not to mention his ability to dunk on anyone ala Shawn Kemp. He has the potential to become the not only MVP this year but also has the potential based on his performance in these playoffs to become the new face of the league that takes over for Lebron one James finally ( if ever) retires.

Madness Follow Up

Well, its all over. The tables and chairs have been collected, the dance is over. This dance did not end with a slow song. The University of Virginia has made history in the tournament two years in a row, for two different reasons. You may remember last years tournament when the number one overall team, the University of Virginia, became the first team in tournament history to lose in the first round to a 16 seed. This year, Virginia entered the tournament with similar accolades and was once again the number one team in the land. This year, they flipped the switch and took it all the way playing the "cinderella" Texas Tech in the finals. Cinderella was by no means, easy. Texas Tech regained the lead with minutes left until a Kyle Guy clutch 3 point shot put the biggest game of the year in overtime. Virginia regained control of the game and became national champions for the first time. In what started off as the most predictable tournament in years, so predictable that someo

Will Hailie Deegan Be NASCAR's First Female Winner? Many casual sports fans or people not familiar with NASCAR may think Danica Patrick was the first female racer. She was far from the first female to compete in the Cup Series, but she built a following, had more popularity, and had a larger sponsorship than any previous female driver. Now that Patrick is retired, who will be the next female racing star? One name is making headlines in the lower divisions, Hailie Deegan. Daughter of X-Games and Motocross legend Brian Deegan, Hailie is a 17-year-old racer from Temecula, California. She grew up racing on dirt and in off road trucks, but since 2016 has been pavement racing, with aspirations of making it to the top levels of NASCAR. In 2018, Deegan raced for Rookie of the Year honors in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The K&N Pro Series is a NASCAR developmental series split into the East and West divisions, where teenagers race on short tracks and road courses aroun

Is Kyle Busch One of NASCAR's Best Ever?

Image
One of the most controversial and polarizing drivers in NASCAR history, Kyle Busch has certainly made his mark in the world of stock car racing. Busch is a driver who every fan either loves or loathes, due to his brash attitude and his winning record. As he closes in on 200 NASCAR National Series wins across all 3 series, is it right to consider him one of NASCAR's all-time greatest talents? As of the time I am writing this (March 5, 2019) Kyle Busch is 33 years old, and has 197 wins across all 3 NASCAR National touring series. Broken down, Busch currently has 53 Truck Series wins, 93 Xfinity Series wins, and 51 victories in the premier division Cup Series.  Busch's win totals in both Trucks and Xfinity competiton are the all-time win records for each of those series. But where Busch's lower-seris domination is truly evident is in his winning percentage.  Kyle has 53 Truck wins in 147 starts, or a 36% winning percentage. The next winningest Truck Series racer, Ron
