R.S. De France

July 6, 2010 – R.S. De France In honor of NBA player Manute Bol, who died June 19th at the age of 47, we would like to honor the best 7’3, or taller, players in the history of the NBA. Originally hailing from the Sudan, Bol returned home after the NBA to assist with humanitarian [...]

June 18, 2010 – R.S. De France With Kobe Bryant still playing at an elite level on the NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers, taking the time to consider his overall legacy is a bit preemptive.  Yet, as a 13 year pro, Bryant has more NBA miles behind him than in front of him, so let’s [...]

June 15, 2010 – R.S. De France After the Lakers’ game 5 loss to the Boston Celtics, 92-86, the Celtics sit one win away from the title.  Kobe Bryant, on the other bench, sits one lost game away from his third loss in the finals, which would further diminish his great legacy. The game, although [...]

June 9, 2010 – R.S. De France After the Lakers’ Game 2 loss, where they seemed to just mail in the game, I started to get that lump in the back of my throat, the same one from 2008.  The disappointment, the anxiety of following what many consider to be the most talented team all [...]

June 5, 2010 – R.S. De France The pre-finals dialogue was full of so much speculation that the Boston Celtics would convincingly defeat the Los Angeles Lakers and take the 2010 Finals as they did in 2008.  But, this is Kobe Bryant’s revenge part II, his big pay back against the Celtics. After finishing off [...]

May 25, 2010 – R.S. De France It certainly seems like All-star Chris Bosh has his bags packed to leave Toronto, but where’s he going? Recently, Bosh narrowed his list of teams he’s willing to play for next season to:  Chicago, Lakers, Miami, the Knicks, and Toronto (ESPN.com). Although we can assume that many factors [...]

May 20, 2010 – R.S. De France Although I’ve been a fan of his game since coming into the league, Amar’e Stoudemire made some ridiculous comments about Lamar Odom’s excellent game 1 in the Western Conference Finals. Odom finished game 1 with 19 points and 19 rebounds, and he’s now one of only three players [...]

May 20, 2010 – R.S. De France Since Steve Nash has been the starting point guard for the Suns (2004), the Lakers have never beaten them in a playoff series.  Kobe Bryant is 0-2 against Nash in the playoffs.  In fact, the Lakers have not beaten the Suns since Jason Kidd and Penny Hardaway were [...]

May 14, 2010 – R.S. De France This ending for the Cavaliers leaves many questions.  Only thing is for certain—LeBron James is a supremely talented player. We all know what he can do, but what went wrong?  Where will James end up in the off-season? In elimination games, LBJ averages 32 ppg, 9 rpg, and [...]

May 6, 2010 – R.S. De France Last weekend, The Hoop Doctors made it possible for me to view an advanced screening of Just Wright, easily one of the best basketball movies since Glory Road in 2006.  So many aspects make this a good movie, but what makes it really fun to watch is that [...]
