Basketball

Last post I talked about Basketball in my first paragraph and I’d like to talk about it a little bit more. My favorite team (the Phoenix Suns) beat the Dallas Mavericks on January 28, 2010. They’re record on TNT was 0-18 and they beat the 3^rd seed in the western conference on TNT. The Suns had also lost 7 of their last 9 games. But the Suns bench came out to play last night. Louis Amundson, Jared Dudley, Channing Frye, Grant Hill, and Steve Nash took over the fourth quarter as they outscored the Mavs with a final score of 112 to 106. But not only did the offense outscore the Mavs but they held them to only 16 fourth quarter points. Amar’e Stoudemire had a game-high of 22 points. Jason Richardson had 17 points and Lois Amundson had 12 points and two blocks.

When I first got into playing and watching basketball my favorite player was Kobe Bryant. Hard to believe now that I like Steve Nash and one of the rivals of the Lakers. But Steve has had a better season then when he won his two MVP’s in a row. Even though he’s a good player not many people realize how good of a player he is. Most people only think that he pass well but he can also score. This year he has an average of 18.3 points per game. And has .938% of FT shooting. He also has amazing passing like I said earlier. He just became 8^th all time assist leaders with an average 11.1 assists per game. Finally I have really gotten into playing and watching basketball.
