:10—The Lakers might be dead, but Kobe’s not. Did you catch the in-detail interview of the 3rd all time leading scorer in NBA history? It’s raw, it’s honest, and it gives you Kobe up close and personal. Catch it on your NBA cable channel.
:09—OK, I was wrong about Pitt. They came up short down the stretch, but a good season nonetheless. And it doesn’t hurt when you beat Notre Dame, North Carolina and Syracuse along the way. Let’s win the NIT. Remind people that Jamie Dixon and the Pitt program are legit and get ready to get in the hunt for next year. Editor’s Note: George Washington defeated Pitt 60-54 in NIT 1st round Tuesday night.
:08—I told you a few weeks ago about the Penn Hills girls’ basketball team. . . well, I’m telling ya again, and not just because I am a Penn Hills guy. . .OK, yes it is, but the truth is this, John Tate has taken the program to another level to be sure. Of course you’ll remember that Coach Tate comes from a great basketball pedigree. He was a star player at the University of Massachusetts under Coach Cal when they made a national run. Coach Tate knows exactly what to do to get the job done. Add to that mix Coach Rob Cash and the workman get it done at all cost. Attitude, he played with and brings to the table and you’ve got a state title waiting to be had. Go Indians!!!
:07—Kyrie Irving set Texas on fire with a 57 point performance that even King James had to marvel at. Any way you could score the basketball, Erving did so. Sure he torched the Spurs, but the game was lost at the line. Make one foul shot with time running out and we’re not having this conversation. Trust me “Coach Pop” will be ready for “Special K” come championship time.
:06—Of course, I am hereby announcing the Cavs and the Spurs will meet for NBA entitlement. The Hawks can’t beat LeBron and the Cavs in seven and the rest of the West is not grown up enough to beat the Spurs. Take it to the bank.
:05—Speaking of scoring the basketball. . .and I was, if I can just get you Schenley grads to pay attention and stop dreaming about your school being re-opened! (Look, don’t hate me. Where were the picket lines when you Spartans were needed. Asbestos my xxx!) Anyway, back to scoring. No one did it better than B.B. Flenory. Kyrie reminds me of B.B. Not the tallest, fastest, or highest jumper on the floor, but he would light you up All – Night – Long! Never mind the multiple 50 plus games he had at Valley High and onto Duquesne University. Anybody that can score 83 points in “3 quarters” of a middle school game can play for me any day. (And yes, the B.B. stands for basketball!)
:04—I don’t know why you don’t get it. Big Ben just signed for “$99 million” because he’s the 2nd best quarterback in Steelers history and one of the five best in the league today. I know some of you are haters, but the stats don’t lie. Check them out for yourself. I know, I know. . .but the stats don’t lie!
:03—No, I didn’t forget about Allderdice and yes they are for real. Winning state is never easy, but they’ve got all the tools. . .and regarding the face book information you heard about last week, of course they’re not the No. 1 team in Pittsburgh City League history. For that matter, Will Herndon they’re not the best team in Allderdice history! I’m just sayin’!
:02—Now listen, I am not going to make a political statement here because I’m not allowed to make a political statement, but if I were allowed to make a political statement, I would say this: How in the world does Dwayne Woodruff not get the democratic endorsement for state Supreme Court judge? A perfect political track record — a stellar law career — a squeaky clean social and community image — the savior of souls in the Family Court Division — his name and actions on countless boards—a dream team family: wife, write, organizer, P.R. specialist; daughter, doctor; daughter, lawyer; son, marine/lawyer. And not just a Super Bowl championship with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but most likely the only player in NFL history to secure a law degree while playing 12 years with the greatest team in NFL history. C’mon man!!!
