The Golden State Warriors

Now it's official the Golden State Warriors have the best start in the regular season  with a ridiculous 24-0, in one of the western conference that now more than ever and perhaps one of the most competitive ever.
The Warriors have fought to achieve this goal, first having to overcome the absence of head coach Steve Kerr, worthily replaced by Luke Walton also a former player, that following the istruioni and teachings of Kerr led Golden State to this incredible milestone. But the merit goes to the entire roster of Warriors, captained MVP of last season, which has already made it clear they do not want to give up the throne of best player and indeed to succeed snche to enlarge the distance that separates him from others with performance as absolute ruler, a certain Stephen Curry Chef. Then his brother splash Klay Thompson, who at times when you call always answers this and with a marked improvement in his defense that he always brings it to take the 'most dangerous opponent, excellent.
Good 4 playing now play, Draymond Green, became, it seems a paradox, but the best assist man. What about the exponential growth of Ezeli Barns and even they are always ready to sacrifice for the team, led by veterans with Captain and MVP of the finals in the lead, I'm talking about Iggy, that in difficult times you charge him and the team on his shoulders It helps to overcome the most difficult moments, plus there's a certain Bogut who took under his wing the good Ezeli showing how it can dominate the league under the iron. More from the bench can go out the likes of Livingston, Barbosa and Speight who often are their own needles balance they do tend towards Wins Golden State. So a team with attributes, which also was afraid when reacted with the strength of the collective and distorting with his way of playing the whole concept of Basketball!
Thanks Golden State Warriors to exist!

The Human Highlight Film !

Nickname Jacque Dominique Wilkins, one of those who remain in the history as it has certainly written a couple of pages of basketball .It reiterpretato how to play basketball managing to coexist with the spettocolarità effectiveness, in a devastating mix of power and skills. Dominique was one of the best players of all time, succeeding even in occasional opportunities to beat his Majesty The Air, recalling the fact that beating Dominique gave him during the race of dunks of 1985, but was soon vindicated by MJ in 1988.
Already from the name of this athlete you can be traced back to its origins French, in fact Wilkins was born in Paris to American parents, as his father who worked in the US Air Force employed there. So Dominique spends his early years in France but then move their Washington in North Carolina, where he went to Washinghton High School where he met and fell in love with basketball, in fact, already in his first year he was named MVP and also included it in Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd ", after his performance of 48 points, 27 rebounds, 9 sciacciate and 8 blocks.
In 1979 he went to 'University of Georgia was obliged to travel with an average of 21.6 points per game and earning a reputation as a show man, for his crazy numbers that showed on the pitch. 
He left the College in his junior year and declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft of 1982. Here he was chosen with the third overall by the Jazz Utha, but in those years had economic difficulties and putting even that was not a goal so very welcome to Dominique, they decided to exchange it immediately with the Atlanta Hawks.
Had finally arrived where he had to be a player of his caliber, the stage was the right one, so right that Dominique did not lower his scoring average ever in one season under 20 points per game, apart from his first rookie still closed with 17.5 and his last seasons 17.8, 18.2 and 5.1.
Year after year, season after season, its level of basketball grew increasingly pushing up its medium and its percentage, finally exploded in the 1984-85 season when the All Star Game won the race by beating Michael Jordan dunk, that was the consecration Dominique Wilkins.
The following year he led the league in points per game with 30.3 and even leading to the Howks Playoffs, here though sopo passing the first round by beating Detroit, Atlanta's race for the title was stopped out by the Boston Celtics of Larry Bird.
In the 1986-87 season, the Hawks return to Paly off. 
Wilkins also keeps in his playoff races that reach dizzying averages 30 points per game, embarrassing.
In the 1987-88 season Dominique continued to play in a wonderful way, but he had to bow to the omnipotence of MJ, which not only do what he wanted in the regular season took his revenge against Wilkins, beating him in the dunk contest, but for soli2 points.

The Howks thanks to its leaders were able to go to Palyoff, advancing to the Semifinals of Conference, here is ritrovareono in front of the Boston Celtics, always led by Larry Bird. The two gave the show in every race leading the fateful clash in Game 7, Wilkins closed it with as many as 47 points on the scoresheet, while Bird with 34, but only 20 of them in the fourth quarter, thereby Boston led by Bird managed to overcome yet once the Howks. Beautiful words of Dominique of that game "The basketball was like a well, I could not miss. He could not miss. And it went down to the last shot of the game. Who was going to make the last shot? That's the greatest game I've ever played in or seen played. It was two guys who just did not want to lose. " 
The seasons following those of 1988-89 and 1989-90, for Howks Wilkins were not easy, barely managing to reach the playoffs, but coming soon eliminated, the only satisfaction that Wilkins took off is the victory of the race of the crushed in 1990
The following seasons were even worse in terms of the team, in fact the Howks failed to arrive even at Palyoff on occasion, but Wilkins continued to make a spectacle on the pitch and scoring mark ever, in 1992 I sign the NBA record for free throws made without errors with 23 and also share reached 20,000 points in NBA career, unfortunately later he broke his Achilles tendon injury this constrinse him to stay out for quite some time.
But he managed to return to the Palyoff agguantati by Howks thanks to him and his scoring average of 29.6. Unfortunately they were thrown out in the first round with a 3-0 by the Bulls MJ.

The following year, Wilkins was exchanged and sent to the Los Angeles Clippers, rather strange move of the leadership of Howks who exchanged their best player this season who was traveling with 24.4 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game, and especially led the conference with 34 wins and 13 lost, the management explained that now Wilkins was 35 years old and they were short of money. 
On 25 March of that year that had been downloaded from Atlanta, he made his personal vendetta, in fact, the Los Angeles Clippers went away on the field of Howks, Wilkins made one of his best races ever put together 36 points and 10 rebounds with an embarrassing superiority.
After that season, Wilkins became a free agent and accaso the hated Boston Celtics, but here he never found the ambiete right to express themselves, so the following season and in the even after he moved to Europe before playing in Greece for Panathinaicos where managed to win the Euroleague and drag the team to the finals of the Greek league but unfortunately losing it 3-2, after a brief return to the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs decided to come to Italy with the shirt of Fortitudo Bologna, bringing some of those we saw only played in the NBA.
After Bologna Dominique returned to the NBA with the Orlando Magic but it was at the end of his adventure in basketball played a decent season closed with 5.0 points per game. Dominique Wilkins, one of the greatest players of all time without a shadow didubbio, the only sin that has never managed to win the Ring of the final consecration, in fact many tend to underestimate his talent judging only from this point of view, but I do not think so and indeed cherdo it was an innovator, it was one of the first if not the first to figure out how to move the body to absorb the contact opponent and be able to complete the same action, also to him we have an endless series of devastating dunks, material for new generations.
Fortunately Dominique has not abandoned the world of basketball and still collaborates with the Atlanta Howks for the growth of young players.
Ladies and Gentlemen Dominique Wilkins.

NBA Summer League !

It began now for a while the summer league, there were high expectations, all we wanted to see in action the new arrivals, but unfortunately less so far there has not been an athlete who has really proven to be one of the protagonists of NBA league immediately.
Following the various meetings I noticed a lot of guys with talent, but unfortunately really really inexperienced and immature, it is due to their lack of preparation at this level?
I think it's just so, NBA teams want to quickly find the new Lebron and Kobe but in doing so they burn so many guys who could become very great talent, perhaps even reach the levels of the two mentioned above except that they need to respect their time and to form not only as players but also as men!
Unfortunately, the guys just feel the call NBA do not understand anything, they see their dream there one step and often almost all decide to grab it even being conscious of not being 100% ready for that level of play and preparation of doing so fall by the wayside and throw away their potential.
To me it should better manage the NBA Draft because now teams aim only and only on the so-called Freshman, that young players who have behind only a year of college, inexperienced little maturity and while these same teams underestimate greatly the boys,It is a little larger than of age, but with a level of preparation to the NBA definitely superior.
In this Summer League I'm seeing just that to make a good impression or are those players who come from the D-League or arriving from the College with more years of experience behind them !
Hopefully in the future we can still improve!

The Golden State Warriors are the NBA Champions 2015 !


Immagine by Domenico Scognamiglio 

I Warriors dopo 40 anni rialzano quel trofeo che ti fa dire , "Si siamo i più forti !" , dopo una stagione regolare che definirei perfetta e dopo dei playoff da urlo dove mai sono dovuti arrivare a giocarsi una pericolosissima gara 7  , e dove hanno dimostrato di avere il giusto mix di giovani atletici e promettenti e grandi veterani che nei momenti di difficoltà salgono in cattedra ad impartire la lezione ,
C'è l'hanno fatta !
Merito anche di un coach che definirei l'architetto di questo titolo Steve Kerr , che ha dimostrato come un grande conoscitore di basket quale lui è , è capace di allenare , aggiungo alla grandissima ed oltretutto di vincere  facendo giocare un bellissimo basket  alla sua prima esperienza in panchina  , quindi Complimenti vivissimi !
La squadra lo ha seguito sempre qualsiasi decisione prendesse , non ho mai visto qualcuno discutere con Kerr per qualche sua decisione , perché anche i giocatori  hanno capito che per vincere bisogna mettere un pò da parte il proprio ego personale e bisogna decidere unicamente per il bene della squadra , tutti a disposizione e tutti a dare il 100% , sacrificio questo è il termine per indicare il punto di forza di questi Warriors . Quindi mi congratulo con tutti i giocatori dei Golden State Warriors per aver raggiunto l'anello ,  da quelli che partivano titolari a quelli che hanno giocato poco , perché ognuno di loro ha dato un contributo a questa splendida vittoria ! 

Stephen Curry , Klay Thompson , Andrew Bogut , Andre Igoudala , Harrison Barnes , Leanrdo Barbosa , Draymond Green , Shaun Livingston , Festus Ezeli , David Lee , Marreese Speights , James Michael McAdoo e Brandon Rush 

Grazie Ragazzi !
Grande anche il supporto dei tifosi , la Oracle Arena è stata veramente una "Casa di Guerrieri " e anche quando si andava in trasferta si vedevano molti tifosi dei Warriors , che hanno creduto che l'impresa era possibile e quindi i miei complimenti vanno anche a loro e anche un grande ringraziamento da tifoso dei Warriors che purtroppo non è potuto stare lì insieme a voi a festeggiare e sostenere la squadra , ma anche da qui dall'Italia non farò mai mancare il mio supporto !
Ultima cosa da dire onore agli sconfitti , i Cavs e in primo piano Lebron James che ha fatto veramente sudare i Warriors  mettendoli in difficoltà dopo le prime tre gare , ma che ha dovuto cedere alla supremazia della DubNation !

Go Warriors Go DubNation !

Finally , The Golden State Warriors are in Finale !

Dopo quasi 40 anni , finalmente i Golden State Warriors tornano meritatamente in finale NBA , pronti a giocarsi il titolo contro i Cleveland Cavaliers . Un impresa quella di questi Warriors , che ad inizio stagione hanno deciso di cambiare allenatore lasciando il buon Reverendo Jeckson e chiamando in panca un Rookie , ma uno che da giocatore sapeva bene che significava vincere e sapeva bene vedere il talento nei giocatori ,poiché aveva giocato con il più forte di tutti Michael Jordan , era ed è Steve Kerr .
Il roster era di quelli importanti data la presenza di Stephen Curry , Klay Thompson , Andrew Bogut , Andre Igoudala , Harrison Barnes , Leanrdo Barbosa , Draymond Green , Shaun Livingston , Festus Ezeli , David Lee , Marreese Speights , James Michael McAdoo e Brandon Rush .
Kerr prende questi ragazzi e li allena , li fa crescere , anche perché tutti e dico tutti lo seguono la parola chiave e sacrificio , sacrificarsi per la squadra , Kerr riesce a far capire  che , se vogliono veramente puntare al titolo devono Giocare di Squadra !
Una volta assimilato questo concetto Golden State diventa devastante in campo chiudendo la stagione regolare con 67 vinte e appena 15 perse , cioè con oltre l ' 81 % di vittorie record di franchigia e vincendo la division e aggiudicandosi la posizione numero 1 nei Playoff !
Mai un allenatore Rookie aveva fatto una simile impresa in tutta la storia della lega . Inoltre durante questa cavalcata si sono abbattuti 2 principali record della NBA , uno da parte di Stephen Curry , da lui già detenuto , cioè quello di triple messe a segno in una stagione regolare arrivato a quota 286 . L'altro record viene battuto dal suo compagno  Klay Thompson  , che in un singolo quarto mette a referto 37 punti , impressionante !
Nei Playoff i Warriors con il loro gioco di squadra buttano via i New Orleans Pelicans in un 4-0 , al secondo turno trovano i Memphis Grizlies che gli danno del filo da torcere a causa del loro modo atipico di giocare basket , ma riescono comunque a regolarli con un 4-2 , dopo essere stati sotto 2-1 . In Finale di Conference trovano gli Houston Rockets , che venivano da una rimonta assurda contro i Los Angeles Clippers sotto 3-1 , vanno a vincere 4-3 , a guidare la rimonta Il Barba , alias James Harden . La sfida si infiamma già da gara uno , ma i Warriors riescono a passare con autorità , la gara più bella della serie è gara 2 dove Steph e Harden danno vita ad un duello emozionante di Splash , ma Curry ha un altro fenomeno affianco , Klay non a caso soprannominati The Splash Brothers . Gara 2 va ai Warriors , così come gara tre . In Gara 4 si ha il Barba show che ne mette 45 e riesce ad evitare la figuraccia a Houston di essere buttati fuori con un secco 4-0 . Per Golden e Questione di aspettare fino a ieri sera quando in Gara 5 , all'Oracle Arena hanno potuto finalmente festeggiare la vittoria della West Division e l'approdo alla finale NBA ! 
Complimenti Golden State Warriors !


P.s.  Ora fateci sognare ancora !

Petition To Los Angeles Lakers !

Chiedo ufficialmente alla dirigenza dei Los Angeles Lakers , e più in particolare al General Manager di quest'ultimi cioè Mitch Kupchak di mettere insieme una squadra competitiva che dia la possibilità di giungere per la sesta volta al titolo Kobe Bryant in modo tale da permettergli di raggiungere un altro grandissimo giocatore al quale lo stesso Bryant si è ispirato cioè Michael Jordan per quanto riguarda le vittorie di titoli NBA , in quanto oggi lo stesso Mitch Kupchak ha dichiarato che la prossima stagione sarà l'ultima di Kobe Bryant da giocatore e sarebbe bello vederlo lasciare la NBA ancora una volta da protagonista quale lui è .
Ricordo infine che Kobe Bryant meriti la possibilità di lottare per il titolo dopo tutti i trascorsi e le vittorie portate alla franchigia dei Los Angeles Lakers  nel suo ultimo anno da giocatore !
Invito a tutti quelli che hanno nel loro cuore e nei propri occhi ancora ora le gesta di Kobe Bryant per alcuni , Black Mamba per altri e Fenomeno Indiscutibile Per Tutti di firmare la petizione tramite un commento e di rinviarla e farla firmare a quante più persone possibile , sperando che la dirigenza dei Los Angeles Lakers ascolti il nostro appello !
