I just read through the entire article and it was quite nice but since I am more of a visual learner, I find videos to be more helpful. I like what you guys are always coming up with. Keep up the great work. I will return to your page daily for some of the latest post. Have you ever thought of adding additional videos to your page to keep the viewers more involved?

I consider Finals MVP is the most important individual trophy. Pierce 1, Nowitzki 0. But its impossible to say either one is better than the other now....both are still playing at such a high-level and leading their teams in the thick of the race. Vince, not even close. I can't say enough good things about Pierce. I recently moved to Boston and it is such a treat to be able to watch him night in, night out. Maybe its worth reminding all of you who have been lucky enough to see him his whole career.....soak it in while he's still at this level for another year or two.... cause you'll be reminiscing with your friends and telling your grandkids stories about him down the road. Regardless of the opponent, other storylines, ups and downs of other players, or whatever....Pierce is worth tuning in every game....from a game where he dominates on both ends.....to one where he just happens to take care of the little things. If you wanted to teach someone to play bball 'the right way', you would just tell them to watch The Truth. On Rondo: RR has all the tools, but it takes all my effort not to let him frustrate me silly. He defers scoring himself way too much (he has been way more aggressive on his finish the last couple weeks, hope it continues). I understand he is the PG and his primary job is get everyone involved....but he has to keep the D honest....and Cs will need him to score in crunchtime some games in the playoffs. Longterm, he will be elite if he wants to be....the set-up in boston has been great for him and would disagree with anyone who says otherwise....(lets see how D Rose progresses now that the team is crashing and everyone is expecting him to be the savior even though he is clearly not ready yet). On Pierce….

But is that not a fair critique, at least when it comes to assists? It doesn't discount him but I think it is a worthy component to consider when questioning his status as a PG in the NBA. I wonder all the time how many people would know his name if you switched him with D. Rose or some other team with little fire power. Especially considering the fact that he can't shoot.
