The illegal immigrants, as we refer to the violators who generated a controversy in Phoenix, one of the urban cities surrounded by the sticky, muggy and humid heat, especially come the summer months, are battered with hypocrisy and woes. It’s a world filled with prejudice, but at the same time, a native country that illegal immigrants calls home by building a foundation and manufacturing a better living, they ...
There were times when a rambunctious crowd erupted a crazy frenzy at the Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, and witnessed LeBron James sprinkled baby powder onto his hands and tossed it skyward to thrill a sold-out capacity crowd. So there are the Cleveland Cavaliers in their finest season, generating enough buzz to pose as the next NBA franchise to be crowned champs. If the loyal population in an avid sporting ...

Pau Gasol Prevails With Toughness, a Catalyst to the Lakers

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
It’s the equivalent of perplexing drama and craftiness the Los Angeles Lakers expose on a large population in Hollywood, among a postseason of uncertainty and unpredictability. At times, it’s really mind-blowing to figure out a ravishing franchise representing Hollywood, with its symbolic convention of inheriting multiple championship banners and assembling the deepest and most talented cast. For once, the up and down commodity plunged in a critical Game Six against the emerging ...
What, the team representing Hollywood has finally awakened? If the Lakers establish the difference between a riddle and legitimacy, then maybe celebrities and non-celebs in L.A. will understand the minds of a defending champ. So now, we are left in a mystery in a year the Lakers wilted and deteriorated to the younger and inexperienced Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that has broken down the Lakers' disoriented (of late) franchise with blazing speed, ...
We’re witnessing an NBA postseason of drama with an unexpected franchise residing in Oklahoma City, where the crowd intensifies the loudest frenzies at Ford Center, arguably the clamorous building in the league. Whoever predicted that an erratic postseason would be entertained with action-packed, dramatic performances of Kevin Durant, the league’s youngest scoring champ and now potential Most Valuable Player? All of this frightens the Los Angeles Lakers, the defending champs who are bullied, harassed ...

Andrew Bynum Stands as Dominant Force, Lakers Are Alive, Dangerous

Posted: 18th April 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
In any other city, any other basketball franchise or any other loyalist residing anywhere other than Los Angeles, are burnt out of the Lakers and inclined to see the biggest attraction under the bright lights in Hollywood descend. Lately, the town has been obligated and worried about the Lakers, a common reaction in a community always trying to figure out an enigmatic franchise with arguably the most talent. For all the weird ...

Ben Roethlisberger Deserves Suspension? Not a Chance!

Posted: 16th April 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
The concern surrounding Ben Roethlisberger’s latest episode on sexual assault is misguided and strictly bias. Either an ethical district attorney wants to punish the two-time Super Bowl champ for his stupidity, or an irritable father wants the NFL to suspend Roethlisberger of his accusations that has transpired—not once, but twice—and has raised concern within the Steelers family. Not long ago, charges in the Lake Tahoe case were dismissed when a ...
Nobody in Chicago, a town some like to call America’s greatest sports town, wants to believe that futility suffocates its chances of celebrating a championship. In fact for many years now, the Chicago Cubs’ undying curse has tarnished and stained the finest sporting market. In other parts of the town, the White Sox are belittled and laughable because of Ozzie Guillen, a lunatic whose customary postgame rants, and on-the-field tantrums formulated ...

Lakers, Buss Family Must Break Relationship with Phil Jackson

Posted: 13th April 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
In a town where celebrities enhance their popularity by appearing in the next glamorous movie or releasing a top album with phenomenal vocals, it’s almost ridiculous that citizens residing in Hollywood embrace overexposed celebrities. In my judgment, the timing couldn’t be better to anoint Phil Jackson as the greatest coach in NBA history, after all we are in an age where people rave so much about Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus ...

Philadelphia Won’t Appreciate McNabb Until He’s Gone

Posted: 30th March 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
For most sporting towns, most of the population builds a social bond with star athletes.  Not in Philly, the City of Brotherly Ungratefulness. Disgruntled fans are always unsatisfied and judgmental of a star player’s underachievement, and as a result, they turn on any athlete. Why must an unhappy fan base belittle or boo a megastar whenever they are unsuccessful in capitalizing? Why must ignorant fans boo or deride a superstar whenever ...
