Irrelevant 90s NBA Player of the Week: Dwayne Schintzius

For the love of John Stamos.  I could very easily present to you the picture below and this precursor of a sentence, and you would undoubtedly be over joyously satisfied with this week’s installment of “Irrelevant 90s NBA Player of the Week”.  When prompted to write your next biographical essay for class, choose the man himself,  proceed to construct a half-assed rush job of a paper, making sure to offer this picture on the cover page.  See if you don’t get an ‘A’.  Attach this picture in a quick text message to a girlfriend during a mobile argument, and see how quickly a truce is settled.  Matter fact, Lonnie Baxter and Isaiah Rider would have never spent a minute up in the pen’ had their defense teams presented flip books to the jury containing only this picture.  It is that good.  Ladies and gentlemen, Dwayne Schintzius.

LeBron James And Why He Isn’t A Clutch Performer

Lebron James, basketball’s favorite villain. People hate the man for a multitude of reasons. He signed with the Heat and “took the easy way out”, and has notoriously made questionable remarks to the media regarding the paying fans of the NBA.  His perceived overconfidence and cockiness in declaring he, himself will win “7 championships in a row”, when the man and myself share the same number of NBA championship rings.  Most fresh in the minds of NBA fans and Lebron “haters” alike were the images and sites of his utter collapse and role as a “playing spectator” in the waning moments of the 2011 NBA Finals.  Upon conclusion of the Finals, his struggles have been collectively chalked up and presented in the form of statements such as:

1. “He has no heart”
2. “He is scared of the ‘big moment’”
3. “He defers blame to others”

In every screening situation, there are usually four players involved (1) the screener, (2) the screener’s defender, (3) the cutter and (4) the cutter’s defender.
