Best Basketball Players...Chicago Southside,or Chicago Westside

There has always been a question as to where the best basketball players in the Chicagoland came from...Westside! Or the...Southside! Hard question to answer. But, I'll try and bring more light to the subject.Not to take away from players from any area in Chicago. Chicago,as far as I'm concerned,has "The Best" basketball players from any place on the planet! The rest of the world of course, is catching up to us.Isiah Thomas is by far the best NBA ball player to come from Chicago...and he's a westsider.Billy "the Kid" Harris is by far the best Streetball Legend/Pro ball player[Billy played in the ABA,Overseas,shooo,Billy played all over] Billy Harris is from the southside.You ask Billy...He says,Art Sivels was the best he's seen!Art was from the westside.Art Sivels could shoot,fast as ...I don't know what!Could dribble out of this world! Doing moves nobody never seem before!The Globetrotters wanted Art to play for them bad...they would come over his home bagging Art's mom to let him go on the road and show his wears.Art never went on that road show,but, he continue to be a Legend in Chicago.Who has the most players currently in the NBA? Westside or Southside? Southside of chicago has a slight edge in the amount of players currently in the NBA. Who has the most players on the Chicago Urban Legends list? To the view full list ...see below. Southside has a slight edge. With Derrick Rose being drafted number one in the NBA draft in June..gives the Southside another edge.So,overall,the Southside have a slight edge on the westside when it comes to Basketball.I can tell you one thing...You better not go on the westside talking trash! Especially,if you are from the southside. skoolofskills.org

Derrick Rose!

BULLS take Derrick Rose with the number one pick in the NBA draft. Now can he live up to the hype of being the number one pick? For Sure! What has to happen is...General Manager John Paxson,has to give Rose tons playing minutes like Chris Paul. Chris Paul averaged like 35 minutes a game,like 16 points per.Give Derrick the minutes, rest will take care of itself. We are now hearing that Paxson says,"Derrick's not a guy we're going to look at and say, `Come in and right away [and start],' " Paxson said. "He's got to earn that given the chance. But we're not going to throw him into this thing and say you have to do everything right now. We'll give him time." Right away we have a problem!
Here's what Derrick has to say about that...He wanted to be the league MVP his Rookie season! And a superstar like, Kobe Bryant,LeBron James,Chris Paul,within five years.What has to happen..Kirk Hinrich has to go[Lack of leadership,not fast enough to play the point,not a great shooter to play the 2 guard],Chris Duhon has to go[he's a good point guard but,not, enough speed,and Too Short!]Larry Hughes has to go[not enough heart,don't want to be a second fiddle,aka Lebron James,Clevland,and he's not a winner].Get rid of Aaron "The Big Poluka" Gray,He's way too slow, no post moves,not a good rebounder,just a good free throw shooter that can't get to the line.Pick up a seasoned Big man...one that can get up the court,DeSagana Diop,Samuel Dalembert,Chris Kaman,Joel Przybilla,Kurt Thomas,then we are good to go!

World Champs!

Boston Celtics, YOU ARE THE WORLD CHAMPS! Kevin Garnett,Ray Allen,Paul Pierce,You guys did it! There were doubts...Atlanta took them to a game seven. Atlanta. KG you got your ring atlast! Chicago's very own...Glen "Doc" Rivers,Tony Allen,Keven Garnett,that's right...We claim KG because he played his High school ball here in Chicago. What happened to Kobe in the finals??? He didn't seem to be able to take over games like the past.He has a ton of miles on his body.I still think he's the best player in the world.I might not be saying that next NBA season.NBA number one pick???? Derrick Rose! When everybody was talking about O.J. Mayo,Here comes Derrick! To take what's his! That's that Chicago mindset I was telling you about.I have bad thoughts about Derrick Rose being drafted by the Chicago Bulls...The Bulls have horrible management! A rookie need plenty of playing time to flourish.At lease 25 min. to 35 min. a game. That's not happening in Chicago. skoolofskills.org

A New Season

A new NBA season has started. Things you should know about the upcoming season that might be of interest. The San Antonio Spurs...can they repeat? Something they have never done. If they do,it will make Tim Duncan one of the greatest players in NBA history.Boston Celtics...the "Big Three",Kevin Garnett,Paul Pierce,Ray Allen. Can they win it all? YES! If they was coming out of the West ...I would say no. But, being in the East, and having a legitimate chance making it to the Finals,anything could happen when you get there.The rest of the players would have to step up also,to make that happen. Kobe? You can make a very good case that Kobe is the best player in the NBA...I think he is. Will he stay with the Lakers? The New York Knicks..and the off court termoil. Isiah Thomas,Chicago's very own.. was found guilty in a sexual harassment lawsuit by a former executive. I've been around a lot of NBA players,and one thing I KNOW...there are women from everywhere coming at these guys and falling at their feet. Man! I can tell you some stories! Back in the day at the eating spot Houston's in Chicago where most the Bulls players went after the game..Ladies so Fine! You want to marry them! So would Isiah go hitting on a employee. Something's not right here. So, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? He didn't do it...Something happen that's for sure.BUT,The world may never know. skoolofskills.org
