The super spurs

There are many of Big 3 or any form superstars fusions in the league but most of them just manage to grab some limelight and don't actually deliver the expected performance and chemistry. However, the Spurs Big 3 is definitely one of the most successful combination of stars that went through the test of time.

First, there is no conflicts in the roles within the trio. The corner stone of the team Duncan is the leader of the team, he grab rebounds, the protector under the rim defensively. Offensively, he can be the one to post up in the paint and initiate a play, score himself or feed the sharp shooters on the perimeter, or he can play the supporting cast to set screens and scramble for offensive rebounds. Unselfish and calm he has been playing this role well consistently well for one and a half decade.

Tony Parker who now can be said as the leader of the team and handles the ball most of the time in offense is a explosive and quick point guard, his speed is a threat to most of the teams in the NBA, and with years of experience he has improved his game with his decision in passing. He can drive into the paint and score a floater on his own or feed the ball to the shooters when he is double teamed. With the aging of Duncan, Popovich has molded Parker to be the playmaker and offense initiator of the team.

Manu Ginobili is a very skillful guard who is willing to sacrifice his minutes for the good of his team. He is good in penetrating defense and his drive and layup is so unpredictable and not to mention his euro step, he is also a good perimeter shooter that makes him even harder to guard. Besides skills, he has also big nerves, he can often make big score when he is needed.

Unlike the other stellar teams like Heats, where D Wade's role is actually in conflict with James's, the role to handle the ball and start the plays, which was usually Wade's role in the Heats. When both of them are on the court, Wade can create space for James as he is not good at 3 pointer. I am saying that Wade is not good, but it is obvious that the Heats want James to take the ball. It answers why the better rally better when a bunch of shooters are on court with James.

In San Antonio, now most of the attacks start from Parker or from Duncan posting up and calling for ball in the paint, with smooth ball circulation they find the best open man to make the shot. But if both Duncan or Parker are encumbered by the opponents Manu Ginobili can be a third playmaker to bring some impact on the team, he has the characteristic and ability to handle that. In the normal offense system, he can be a static perimeter shooter who can create space for Parker and others.

Dream BIG and Live It

After all the inspiring stories that I read in the entrepreneurship textbook from I am motivated again, I think we should really dare to dream and take action to fulfill it with spirit, with tenacity and passion. realizing a dream is not a easy stuff. Besides, must have a very strong and determined mindset, just take initiative to change myself and start to take action, despite failure believe in what you believe in at the start. 

So that you will not have any regret in the later stage of your life, at least you try 

2013 NBA Final Game 6#

This is what a final should look like, I mean the second half and especially the last quarter, scoreboard is not adding points, lots of aggressive defense, turnovers from everyone, key rebounding and clutch shot. It is how it should be unlike game 5 which was just simply lopsided. It is so thrilling, the last quarter and overtime is really taking my breath.

I want to credit R. Allen for his astonishing equaliser at the final 5 second of the game even tough it is the only 3 pointer he made in the game. Who cares? We are talking about quality not quantity. Lebron has a great game, triple double and his burst out in the second half is detrimental to the result of the game though there are turnovers and missed easy shots, the rally to tie the game in the regulation is still attributed to the MVP.

Wade is quite silent tonight, no tremendous replays and no clutch performance but on the other hand he might sustain a injury from the collision with Ginobili.

The spurs is doing well in the regular time, persistence and stability, having the lead most of the time, Duncan is dominating the paint, neither Bosh nor Birdman can hold him.

Leonard is doing a pretty good tonight, showing fearlessness against Lebron and getting the ball in to the hoop when there is a turnover from the Heats, not fancy but effective. And his dunk in the face of Miller is just awesome.

Now what would happen in the determining final game of this season? Spurs of Heats, I hope it will be as thrilling and exciting as game 6.

lost in the jungle

There were a bunch of bothering stuffs that waited to be settled, plus there had been quite a long time I didn't  exercise a bit, so I asked my buddy to go for hiking in Bukit Jambul. It was a cloudy day, and after a rain the path became so slippery to walk in addition we were in our sanders only.

It was the first time he came here and I suggested him to use another route, a longer one, that I had tried once, descending, not going up. The air in the hill was so refreshing and may be because of the rain, the air was so rejuvenating and cool. The first half of the journey was just like the one that I used to take, lots of direction guide, nailed on trees and there were definitely fewer hikers we met.

Suddenly the path became ambiguous, the soil path was covered with fallen leaves and at some place there were even messy plants making path looked narrower, as if the path was abandoned  for long. This route was not a whole up, there were a few times we hiked up and went down hill before the destination. Then we started to feel some tiredness in our legs and I saw the grey sky, this was a usual sign of reaching the hill top.

But it happened to prove me wrong, and it surprised me actually we reached a top but not the one we wanted to reach. I asked every time when in doubt if we want to turn back, but he insisted me to decide, and I couldn't see worries in his face until we reached a steep down hill, it was even challenging with the fallen leaves and moist left by the rain. It was so slippery that we almost slid on our but for a couple of times. then the path became even more ambiguous, where it was almost sheltered by some plants and grasses. However we proceeded anyway.

Then we reached where there were some latex trees and banana trees around, and a wood shelter with a dog underneath. We hesitated a while and I equipped myself with used petrol container, just in case it chased us. Because I thought a dog with a master was usually braver. Then we proceeded with the dog did nothing but staring us passed by.

Then we came across a few junctions where we had to make a decision, and I chose on my instinct. Then the scene was becoming much worrying with the dusk was near and the path seemed like leading into a deep forest. We turned back to take another path at the last junction in haste. And finally, the environment became more familiar to me and thanks god we met some other hikers too and moment later we reached our destination.

What a horrible expirience

Two rules of being a modernPrimitive Man

There are two golden rules to become a primitive in the modern day:
 firstly, you must be disconnected to the rest of the world, you must be out of the loop, simply live by yourself
secondly, you don't shave, you let any kind of hair on your body grow messily and freely, it would be probably best if you have it frizzy.
as simple as that

Wind back to a few centuries back, when there was no cell phone or any means of communication and transportation, there might not even be a developed language for them to "hang around" how did they live, didn't them felt bored living in a extremely drab "neighborhood". However I guess they still managed to have some not so effective but ample communication with the other folks in a tribe, their community like gesturing and scowling when they got mad.

I have been practicing this kind of primitive life style recently. You know, it is the study week, my sole program in my itinerary is just studying and doing the goddamn boring revision. When I got bored, a laptop will entertain me well, movies and net surfing. I guess the past week the only person in my loop is just my girlfriend, I talk and text to no one else except her, until today I just encountered an rare opportunity to deal with something with a friend. Ya, but i was "moodless" to quite entertain them.

Trust me, I never doubt if I would be so craving for some interaction with anyone besides her. You see the whole idea is, I am quite a nerd, I don't prefer my life to be boisterously cheered with a a lot of people around me. I have hobby, and am interested in a wide array of stuffs in my life, even some trivial one. I don't felt like articulating all of these interests. Fine, but I am writing this not because the true nature of mine is not in line with what I just mention just now. seriously, an lively enriched social cycle is to me, subservient to my passion for those interests.

I have friend teasing me that I am a primitive, when I seldom show up in all those kinds of gatherings, hanging out. But his comment doesn't work, he actually guides me on how to define myself, I buy the idea but not the trick. I wonder this nerd propensity stems from lacking of joyous and cheerful occasion with a big crowd, it might because I have not tasted the fun of it. But one thing I confirm is that it has something to do with the "style" of my childhood.

But, day by day, I have became cognizant of that I have cross the line, i meant too disconnected to the world and the people around me. Just I even became lazy to reply message from a friend, most because I have been leaving leaving my cell phone alone these few days, late to notice those incoming text. You know, just feel like reluctant to apologize and following up with the things. Gosh, I know that it is not the way it should be. to sum up, I mean I at least I needa engage communications necessary to sustain my daily needs. ya that is, if i avoid that because of laziness, damn it is not a rules in my theory to be a modern primitive man, all I want is simplicity. Oh finally sleepiness consumes me, night.

Return of Nash??

Come on, we need Nash
I think many of the fans share a same thought of mine
Thinking Nash as the last resort for the Lakers
Thinking that this 2 times MVP point guard will bring some significant evolution to the Lakers

Although Nash gonna be a shortfall in the defensive end
But looking at their games now
The team is desperate for changes currently in a losing streak
Yeah, Kobe has some prolific individual performances
But They lost most of the games with Kobe scored more than 30 points
Come, he is not the young Kobe raving to get score anymore
He is eager to win now

Back to Nash
All he needs will be a couple static canons, Kobe and World Peace can take the roles, catch and shoot
Some hasty legs to set some fastbreak points
And a big guy who can screen and jam in the paint, Dwight and Gasol

An all-around forward will be a befitted piece of puzzle of the Lakers with Nash
Antwan Jamison, he is able to take this job, he can grab rebounds, can run, can shoot, post play and even 3 pointer dagger.
So I think it is better to have Jamison plays starting power forward if they want to play effective run and gun
better choice over Gasol
I still like Gasol, and he should stay, the team needs him when they want to dominate under the hoop and when hard defense is in play

I still have faith in this Lakers roaster
Imminent improvement is coming soon
And reclaim the central stage

The former all star forward

How many career total score can he amass?

A pic I got from Kobe Fans Page

One thing for sure is that he is definitely going to surpass Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan in this statistic.

But What I am really concerned is whether he could be on top of the list. Beating Carl Malone (36,928) and Kareem Abdul Jabbar (38,387).
Can he be the first to hit the 40k milestone

Currently 12cn December 2012, Kobe has accumulated 30,016 points, at the age of 34.
If he takes good care of his body, he might be playing for another 5 years
Id he can produce 3 more seasons with 2,000 plus points and 2 more seasons with around 1,000 points. He could be the "prototype" of 40,000 points 

Even without this astonishing accomplishment, he is still always player of last decade 
And if nothing goes wrong, Lebron is the next to beat up Kobe
