Spirulina Rasool: June 2009 Archives

This is certainly a tough draft to evaluate - I consider there to be five players with the potential to be stars at the NBA level:

1. The "love of the game" clause that Michael Jordan once had in his contract.
2. The penalty shot in hockey
3. Sudden death
4. Nike Ads
5. Super slow-Mo
6. superbowl commercials
7. Tailgate parties
8. Double Header that aren't Make-up Double Header
9. Play of the Month
10. Kobe Byrant

The Orlando Magics have been the under dogs this whole season, playing big teams like the Celtics and Cavs and they haven't been receiving the RESPECT that they deserve. The franchise has also been in the playoffs for more than half of their existence (11 playoff appearances in 20 years). That is a great accomplishment for a team that only been around two decades. Most teams in the league haven't had that much success. But the media and fans has been counting them out.
