i hate to say this but... i told you so | ramon sessions is for real

-
going into the home stretch last season a guy by the name ramon sessions captured the attention of nba fans after his 24-assist outing against the chicago bulls. not many people are sold on sessions yet that time but i'm already in the sessions bandwagon from that point on. i drafted him in the sixth round of my fantasy league and i know some people would question that then. but right now, i hate to say it but... i told you so!

i'm not a great judge of talent but i guess there's something about sessions that just made me realize that he is for real. sure, i dropped him from my fantasy lineup several times to make room for overperforming players as stopgaps but in the end, before redd came down, i had sessions back in the lineup as i was waiting for the bucks to trade him to a team where sessions can showcase his skills.

today, sessions' stellar play in the last three games, i don't think the bucks would trade him. i don't know what scott skiles is smoking but i think it must be something. he knows what sessions is capable of given the minutes but still he went with ridnour in the starting lineup. they say skiles love players who can defend, but ridnour is not exactly the best defender out there.

i have nothing against ridnour but i think sessions is better. imagine if the bucks do not have sessions, do you think they can pull off that win last night against the rockets when sessions scored 26, grabbed 4 rebounds, dished out 7 assists and stole the ball 4 times? and frankly, i think charlie villanueva is getting better because he has someone to give him the ball where he needs it.

even with a healthy lineup, i think the bucks should stick with the lineup of ramon sessions, michael redd, richard jefferson, charlie villanueva, and andrew bogut. even without redd i think that starting five is stacked and could make the bucks relevant again.

let's look at some of the things sessions has done so far in his career:

  • drained the game-winning shot against the washington wizards on april 2, 2008

  • posted then career-high 20 points, 8 rebounds and a franchise-record 24 assists against the bulls on april 14,2008

  • scored 44 against the detroit pistons on february 7, 2009

here's hoping sessions, villanueva, and jefferson can power the bucks to the playoffs. that would surely make people think twice about sessions' skill as a legit nba player. who knows, ramon may become one of the the biggest steals in the draft after being picked by the bucks 56th overall in the 2007 draft (manu was the 57th pick in his class).

who's got the baddest f1 helmet?

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w

kevin durant is rookie of the year

last year's draft saw the portland trailblazers picking up greg oden with their first pick. then, seattle went with kevin durant and durant would go on to become this season's rookie of the year (uhm, rookie of what year exactly? shouldn't it be called the rookie of the season or something? hehehe). the university of texas standout, a 6'9" swingman with a wingspan of almost 7'5" led all rookies in scoring with 20.3 per contest. i must admit that i was more interested in oden as i was wondering how he (oden) will be able to match up with the league's premier big men. but durant showed that at his young age, he can ball with the best in the nba. i also admire the kid's professionalism, his dedication to his craft. in the first months of this season, he kept shooting threes which really hurt his shooting percentage. but he soon learned that it would be easier to make shots if he throw them up closer to the rim. by the end of the regular seaso

anybody who matter really ripping on lebron?

  It’s amazing how LeBron at almost 37 is still being ripped for struggling, when he has an AD in his prime and not living up to expectations. Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, and Jordan were no longer relevant at 37. That lets you know how great LBJ is. “Keep it moving” — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) December 10, 2021 it's amazing how eddie johnson can find people who knows what they are talking about actually rip on lebron. i mean, most of the blame on the lakers' lack of early season success has been piled on westbrook early on and has shifted to tony davis recently.  lebron is a physical specimen and although i'm not his biggest fan, i understand how great he is as a player and i can honestly say that he has not gotten any sort of blame for the lakers' season so far. so i'm not sure where eddie is coming from here. also, timmy won a chip as a major contributor at 36...against a stacked lebron team at that.
