NBA Superstars Going Overseas

Speaking of the NBA, it's October and players should be warming up for the coming season. But the lockout hasn't been lifted yet and I'm not even sure if there will be a new season [sigh]. So, where do we go now fellow NBA fans?

Overseas? I suppose, yea.

According to Dime reports, there will be an elite number of NBA superstars who will be playing overseas. The basketball superstars include, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Chris Paul.

Thank You, 1st Bicol Bloggy Awards

It was Thursday, when a friend from the office told me that my blog was nominated as one of the Best Sports Blog at the 1st Bicol Bloggy Awards and was invited to go the awarding ceremony. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend to awards night. But even so, I was still very glad that people now knew about jaggedcore.blogspot.com, which was a fusion of my love for the NBA and writing.

I never really expected to win in the sports category, but I won! My blog won the Best Sports Blog in the very 1st Annual Bicol Bloggy Awards that was held at the Bicol University Amphi Theater. My deepest gratitude to the organizers and to everyone who's contributed to this great blogging event.

Thank you very much!

Celebrities Looking Like Athletes?

I know this is out of my usual NBA stuff but I just couldn't stop myself from posting this because I've really enjoyed watching this and I know you will too.

Harrison Ford and Nick Faldo (Professional Golfer/Golf Analyst)

How about a Han Solo stand-in for Nick Faldo eh?

Jim Carrey and Rick Carlisle (National Basketball Association)

Of course, how was I able to miss this one? Have you noticed the resemblance?

Will Smith and Robert Horry (National Basketball Association)

Wow, they really look alike. Miss Big Shot Rob.

Christian Bale and Homer Bailey (American Major League Baseball)

The eerie similarity between Bale and Bailey left me speechless.

Ron Jeremy and Stan Van Gundy (National Basketball Association)

Gosh, the mustache looks unusually similar. (Goosebumps!)

Shaq on Heat's BIG 2?

So, what is it this time for Shaq?

After retiring from the NBA [finally!], Shaquille O'Neal finally found a new career as a NBA analyst. I'm not sure if I'm going to laugh at this big joke or be hacked off [all he ever did was babble].

According to Shaq, “Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, you know, they’re great players, they’re probably the greatest backcourt ever assembled. And you know, they’re going to get back. They’re going to get back. They play well, they went through a lot, they put a lot of pressure on themselves. That’s how they like it. And they will be back.” Of course, they will be back that is if there's no NBA lockout. [2011-12 NBA Schedule]

“The Miami Heat, they’ve got a lot of great players, the `Big 2.’ They will be back,” - Shaquille O'Neal

Of course, he'll be talking about Dwayne Wade and LeBron James and how good they were. He knows them, no doubt about that. But not even recognizing the contributions that Chris Bosh made for the Miami Heat is being arrogant. I'm NOT huge a Bosh fan but I can say that he's done fair enough for the team and he's had his moments too, and so does Wade and James.

So, Shaq please shut up. You're not helping much. NBA fans are pretty anxious about the lockout that should probably be the one you're analyzing, right? Or maybe you're all about the BIG TALK.
