Warriors heading to the All Star Break | Nasser Erakat

The Warriors heading to the All Star Break | Nasser Erakat will be a good break for the best team in the NBA. The Golden State Warriors are 48-4, think about that for a second. The Warriors who had the best record last season at 67-15 and went on 

to win the NBA Championship. This year they might break the Bulls record and go on to win another title. The Golden State Warriors are playing team basketball and they are having fun doing it. Watching other teams is boring, no offense. The Warriors have such great chemistry together. For being a long time Warriors fan it is fun to see that the whole NBA is revolving around the Warriors. For the longest time I would see the Lakers,Spurs and even the bulls when I was younger always leading the way. At some point I would look at the Warriors with their 20 win season. I use to ask myself will this get any better? After last years Championship, it has. It is nice to see a team that you follow and rout for finally win at the end.

How the Golden State Warriors are influencing college basketball

About a decade ago, Eric Musselman recalls, NBA players doing elaborate two-ball dribbling drills before a game would elicit laughter.

“I can vividly remember being in Orlando with Coach (Chuck) Daly and trying to do two-dribbles with guys and they wouldn't do it,” said Musselman, a longtime NBA coach who’s now coaching the University of Nevada men’s team. “Then you try to explain to them, ‘Hey look, this is going to help with your hand speed. This is going to help with ball speed, and this is going to make you ball-friendly.’ I used those three terms, and guys wouldn't do it or another assistant coach would kind of snicker.

“Now, Steph Curry does it and all of the sudden it's part of everybody's pre-game routine. It's part of everybody's player development, and I think it just goes to show you for one, what a copycat we all are — because it's true. Then, when somebody is really successful, that does something that everybody wants to emulate.”

It’s not just Curry’s mesmerizing, pre-game ball-handling rituals that college coaches are emulating. Curry’s team, the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors, is impacting the college game stylistically and culturally. College coaches are popping in to watch Warriors practices and coming away impressed by the team’s chemistry and looseness. College teams are watching Warriors film and trying to model certain aspects of themselves after Golden State, which is 47-4 while playing the most watchable brand of basketball in the NBA. Full Article

Super Bowl 50 is in the Books | Nasser Erakat

That old cliche, Defense wins championships showed in Super Bowl 50. I will be the first to say that I thought that Carolina would win. I didn't think Denver would 

have an answer to Cam Newton but I was wrong. Von Miller, the MVP of Super Bowl 50 dominated Carolina's offense and Cam Newton.

For Peyton Manning he should ride off into the sunset with this Super Bowl victory. When Peyton was with the Colts, that was my second favorite team. I was a fan of Peyton Manning. Once he went to Denver, I could not cheer for him, since I am a Raiders fan. I am happy for Peyton Manning, what would they have said if he lost and was 1-4 in the Super Bowls? Was Peyton Manning's legacy in question? I guess we do not have to worry about that, the Denver Broncos won their third Championship and Peyton got his second ring.

Denver defense kryptonite to Panthers Superman Newton

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Reuters) - The Denver Broncos shocked the Carolina Panthers 24-10 as the Super Bowl closed out its first half-century on Sunday with an upset and a cliffhanger as Peyton Manning left everyone guessing about his future.

As a glittering shower of golden confetti fell on Levi's Stadium, Manning appeared to have penned the fairytale ending to a Hall of Fame career ready to ride off into the sunset holding the Vince Lombardi trophy, the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and the first to win championships for two franchises.

But a coy Manning refused to reveal his hand leaving open the possibility that the 39-year-old could remain part of the NFL next season even as the Super Bowl turns the corner and steams toward its centennial and a new era that includes a team back in Los Angeles.

"It's certainly been an emotional week for everybody," said Manning, amid the post-game celebrations. "I got some good advice from (former Indianapolis Colts coach) Tony Dungy. He said don't make an emotional decision. Full Article

The football season is over. Preseason starts in August 2016. The odds makers already picked who they think will win next years Super Bowl but that is why they play the games. Since I'm a Raiders fan and the Raiders will have to face Denver, the Raiders need to work on their defense. Since Jack Del Rio is a defensive guy he needs to start working on the defense. We already have Mack who is going to be a stud in this league. Lets get the defense strong. Work on that first and then worry about the offense. I just want to see a Raiders playoff run next season. Go Raiders!!!
