World Cup

The World Cup is here. The 2010 World Cup is in full effect. This year World Cup will be held in South Africa. The World Cup is held every 4 years. It is the most watched sporting event in the world. In 2006 the World Cup was held in Germany. Italy won the Cup that year in a shootout to France 5-3. This year the favorite is Spain. Some say Germany. But I say Brazil. I think Brazil will come out victorious. The World Cup proves who is the best team in the world. The first World Cup was held in 1930. It was took place in Uruguay. The host country came out on top winning. Brazil has the most Cups with 5 (and will make it 6 at the end of this year's cup.) This years favorite (which is Spain) has never won the cup. I was surprise when I seen that the US has never won the cup. The hgihest they have ever finished is third. Some people think that we change in this year's cup. I think it won't change because everyone always says and think the US will win every year and ends up losing. I think the US won't even make it out of there group. I have the final four being Brazil, Spain, England, & Germany (if its possible.) The Cup is a few days in but it will get better in the upcoming days. Im not a really a soccer fan but I've watched the cup in 2006 and liked it so it was a reason to watch it again. I cant wait until Group play is over so the Tournament can start.

Penn Relays 09

Day 1


I came to school at like 7:30. I had to put my I-pod and my phone in my suitcase. At about ten everybody was in Ms.Williams office. We left at about 11:45. We came to Penn station at 12:37 and the bus had already left. We all went to McDonalds in the meanwhile. The next bus left at 1:20. We got on that bus. After we got off the bus we took a train to the hotel. We got to the hotel at about 5:45. at &:30 we went to Dave and Busters. It was very fun. We then got back at 11:45. We was suppose to stay stay in our room but you know we wasn’t gonna listen. At about 12:30 everybody was in the hall. We didn’t go to bed to 3:30.




Day 2


At about 9 Ms.Williams came in the rooms and told us that she have gotten a complain about us last night. After a long speech she took our I-pods, headphones, and Track shirts she had given us. She told everyone to get dress and meet downstairs in the lobby by 10:30. We went to the arena. We saw lots of races. We then got to the hotel at 7. I fell asleep till Jahleel woke me up at 9. We was playing the X-box and chilling in the hallway talking to girls. When ten hit we went in the room because that was our curfew. Some people was still in the hallway. So when 10:45 hit Ms.Williams brought everyone to the her room and gave us a long talk and threated to cancel a race. We still went out after that night. Me, Sean, and Byron we still talking to the girls from down the hall. At about one I went in the room and was watching the basketball game then I fell asleep.




Day 3


The next day was the race. We came in fourth in our heat in that relay. After it was over we went to the hotel and played the WII. Me and Terrence was getting our hair done. We was playing music and other people playing the WII. After my hair was done we was in the hallway dancing. Me, Sean, and Terrence had a food fight. It was all fun.



Day 4


We had to pack our bags before we left. We went to the track early that morning. I was mad because Ms.Willams woke us up at 7:45 and I was so tired. We went to the track at like nine. We raced first. Our worst nightmare became true we dropped the batton. We spend the whole day there. We saw lots of races and professional track stars. At six we left from the track. We went to the hotel, got our bags and left. We got on the bus and too a ride home. We got to NYC at 9:30. I got home at 11. This is by far the best trip I went on this year.

Usain Bolt In The Dancehall

If you Google Usain Bolt name you will most likely see his achievements on the track and his WRs. What is probably is not shown is that he is a dancer. O yes Usain Bolt is in the Dancehall. In Jamaica Usain Bolt is considered a hero. He has several songs made for him or when his name is mentioned. Elephant Man has made remix for Bolt to his popular song "Nuh Linga" which was dubbed as the Jamaica Track Team anthem for the 2008 Olympics. After broke the WR he did the popular Nuh Linga dance on National TV.

He then appeared in Elephant Man's video entitled "Sweep" which he did the dance again. He then appeared in several dancehall videos which can view on Youtube. In the Summer of 2009 Bolt then broke his own record. At the end of the 100 Meter he then did another dance called the "Logo Logo." After that Reggae Star Vybz Kartel made a song called "Lighting Bolt." He also use Bolt name in the song "Don't Run" when he says "But when yuh say big things yuh run like Usain in Bejing." There is now a dance called the "9.58" for Usain Bolt. Overall Usain Bolt has a large influence on the reggae/dancehall game & Jamaica. As long as Bolt keep breaking WR's and winning medals he will still be in the dancehall dancing, in videos, and in reggae songs.

What College Produce The Best NBA Players

So The Question is What NBA Team Produce the Best NBA Players? I think it's UConn. Im saying it of course because it's my favorite college basketball team. They have Produce players such as Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Ben Gordon, The list is endless. Here is a few other people talking about who they think are best.

What College Produce The Best NBA Players from Zuberi Shury on Vimeo.

My Favorite Basketball Player: Chris Paul & How He Became That

My favorite basketball player is Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. I been a fan of his since he was in college. When he was a freshman at Wake Forest I seen him play against my favorite college basketball team UConn. He caught my attention. I then started to watch Wake Forest a little bit more. I remember the Deman Decons losing to a St. Joesph's team that featured Jameer Nelson & Delonte West.





Even though my favorite college basketball team won the National Championship that season I still was following Chris Paul. I actually remember his starting five from that season (himself, Justin Gray, Jamal Levy, Eric Williams, & #32 can't remember his name.) Heading into the 2005 NBA Draft I remember my favorite NBA team the Knicks had the number 8 pick. Chris Paul was a certain top 5 pick but i was hoping that he slid down to number eight so the Knicks can take him (Even though the Knicks had Stephon Marbury a hometown hero from my neighborhood.) Unfortunately he didn't. The Hornets took him with the Number 4 pick. Chris Paul became a starter and a instant favorite in the NBA and my favorite player.


2007-2008 was one of my favorite seasons of Chris Paul. He came up second in the MVP voting. In my opinion he should of won. This pass season CP3 didn't have a great one due to injury. A lot of people has also forgot about him. I also seen someone rank him number 5 among PGs. I think CP3 is the best PG in the league.

Best Draft Class

I was looking at a Slam Magazine the other day and they were reviewing draft classes from years past. I then thought what is the best draft class in NBA history. I did some research and narrowed it down to three. The 1984, 1996, & 2003 draft classes. I think the best Draft Class is the 1996 Draft Class. It Featured Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Marcus Camby, and many many others. Second I think is the 2003 NBA Draft. It Featured LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kirk Hinrich, Mo Williams, David West & Many more The 1984 Draft Class featured Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Perkins, John Stockton, & Charles Barkley. Well Lets see some statistics now.

First he 1996 draft Class. One Third of this draft class was all-stars (Including undrafted Center Ben Wallace From Virgina Union.) Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, & Kobe Bryant have all won the League MVP. Ben Wallace, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, & Antoine Walker has all one Championships. Overall this draft class was the best. Alot of Star players came out of it. Just check the draft board.

The Next Draft class i think is the 2003 draft class. The 2003 draft is alot of the NBA today. Eight players from this draft has made it to the all star game (LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Kaman, Josh Howard, David West, & Mo Williams.) Dwayne Wade & Kendrick Perkins headline players that have won championships (Jason Kapono, Darko Milicic, Matt Bonner, & Luke Walton Being the others.) Most of the players are now star players in the NBA. This draft class is the second best in my eyes and def the best of the all-time.

Well For the 1984 I don't really have much words for them. This class produce the greatest basketball player of all-time (Michael Jordan.) It has also produce hall of famers such as Charles Barkely, John Stockon, Hakeem Olajuwon & Michael Jordan of course. This draft was good but not the best of all time. I think because of a weak 1st round.

Who Do You Think Is Faster Usain Bolt or Chris Johnson

The other day while I was in class I seen someone looking at football stuff. He than said to me "You run track right" so I Replied yea. He then went on to say "You know who Usain Bolt is right" i then answered "Of Course." He then said something that blew my mine. He said that Chris Johnson is faster then Usain Bolt. After he said that I said "NO WAY!!!!!!" That inspired me to write this post. First of off let me just say football speed and track speed is way different from each other. Alot of people could easily say that a football player is fast with all the pads and equipment so just imaging how fast they are without it. That's true but truth is is that no football player is going to beat a professional sprinter in a race. I've seen Chris Johnson times from when he ran track in High School. His PR is 10.5 in the 100 meters & 21.3 in the 200 meters. Bolt has ran 19.19 in the 200 meters & 9.58 in the 100 meters both World Records. It's well proven that Bolt is the fastest man in the history of the world. Chris Chase from Yahoo Sports has also said "Usain Bolt is the fastest human being who has ever walked the Earth." According to ESPN There has also been talk that these two can probably hook up and race against each other for charity. Bolt agent has denied that report. Bolt agent said that Bolt doesn't really follow the NFL anyway and has heard of Chris Johnson. I think Bolt shouldn't waste his time racing Johnson. I kinda want to see them so all these football fans can shut up and see that Bolt is the fastest

Michael Jordan Is Back

Michael Jordan is back on the court well virtually at least. 2K Sports has annouced that Michael Jordan will be on the cover of 2K11. Jordan will be a playable character in the game. This is the first time since NBA Live 2004 that Jordan will be featured in a Basketball game. This game will probably be the best ever some people said. Theres a few reasons why. First off you have Jordan on the cover of course. Then you got all the new faces on teams like Wade, LeBron, Amare, Bosh and so much other names (But who know were they will be.) And also the Wizards will have the best backcourt in this game with John Wall & Gilbert Arenas. This can also be one of the best basketball games made because of the area Jordan will be featured in. Now no one knows were Jordan will b a playable character in but it is bound to be successful. Jordan had other games such as Michael Jordan: Chaos In The Windy City & Jordan Vs Bird but this 2k game will really show that Jordan is back on the court in the virtual world at least. When everyone heard the news it was a Trending Topic on twitter (Thats How I found out.) Well 10/11/10 is a date everyone is waiting for. I wonder how much copies of 2k11 will b sold????

What About Shaq?

As we all know the Cavs got knocked out by ECF Champs Boston Celtics in the second round. After that final buzzer everyone question was "What's next for LeBron." I was also wondering about LeBron's future. But I think this is overshadowing Shaquille O'Neal future in the game. Game 6 could of been Shaq's last NBA game. Alot of people forgot about Shaq. Now I'm not gonna lie I forgot about Shaq too. Brian Gumbel brought this up on a segment of Real Sports and then i started to think about it. I think we should all acknowledge Shaq. Shaq is a Free Agent this summer. He can even sign back with the Cavs, sign with a different team, or call it quits. Only Shaq knows the answer to that one. So lets take a look back at Shaq's career.

Shaq came into the League in 1992. He was drafted number 1 overall by the Orlando Magic.

He played 3 seasons for the Magic with Penny Hardaway. Shaq and Penny Led the Magic into there first NBA Finals in 1995. Shaq led the Magic to the Conference Finals to defend their ECC but ended up getting swept by Michael Jordan and the Bulls.

In the Summer of 1996 Shaq signed with the Lakers. Shaq went on to win 3 Championships with teammate Kobe Bryant and won 3 Finals MVP awards.

Shaq went off to Miami in the summer of 2004. In Shaq won a ring once again.
Shaq went to the Suns which wasnt a very good fit.

Shaq just finished his first full season with the Cavs. Many expected Shaq to win another Championship with LeBron James and the rest of the Cavs. Shaq ended up on the losing end. Now going into this off season Shaquille O Neal is a Free Agent. This is probably the end of the road for Shaq.



If it is Shaq has had a great career in the NBA. Shaq has many achievements and awards over his 16 year career in the NBA:

• 4× NBA Champion (2000, 2001, 2002, 2006)
• 3× NBA Finals MVP (2000-2002)
• NBA Most Valuable Player (2000)
• NBA Rookie of the Year (1993)
• 15× NBA All-Star (1993-1998, 2000-2007, 2009)
• 2× NBA scoring champion (1995,2000)
• 8× All-NBA First Team (1998, 2000-2006)
• 2× All-NBA Second Team (1995, 1999)
• 4× All-NBA Third Team (1994, 1996-1997, 2010)
• 3× All-Defensive Second Team (2000–2001, 2003)
• NBA All-Rookie First Team (1993)
• 3× NBA All-Star Game MVP (2000, 2004, 2009)
• 1994 FIBA World Championship MVP

Free Agency 2010

A topic on almost every NBA Fan mind is this off-season. Although we are getting ready to see the Lakers and Celtics clash in the finals for the 12th time some might say the off-season will be more exciting. There is a lot of all star players in this summer's free agent pool. LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Manu Ginobili, & Amare Stoudemire are some of the major names in the free agent pool. Then There other players that a team will want to have like David Lee, Carlos Boozer, Michael Redd, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Rudy Gay and Tracy McGrady. Then there are other good role players that can really help a team like Raymond Felton, Tony Allen, Kenyon Martin, & Shannon Brown. The big question is were is so many of these players going? Some think LeBron, Bosh, Wade, & Stoudemire is going to have a meeting decide were they are going to go. First of all let me say this NO TEAM IN THE NBA CAN AFFORD 3 SUPERSTARS!!!!!!! I was upset when I was in my Neighborhood and heard kids my age talking about Bosh, LeBron, and Wade was all going to the same team. Thats not gonna happen. Although They all free-agents that doesn't mean a thing. It's all about the $MONEY$. In my opinion Bosh is def going to the Knicks. Now the question is do we get LeBron. I really want LeBron but if not I could go with Joe Johnson. I can't wait until July 1st. July 1st is the first day of free agency. I want to see were all these star players end up. I really wanna see who the Knicks is gonna get. But Until then we will jus have to wait until that day

Draft Time Rolling Around

Well the Wizards came away with the number one draft pick (We all knew the Nets wasn't going to get the #1 pick because the worst team hasn't come away with the number one pick since the 2003-2004 Magic.) So what is the Wizards to do now???????











































Is it John Wall the freshmen phenom or perhaps the National Player of the year Evan Turner. We don't know yet but we are all excited. In my opinion the Wizards should select John Wall because Wall & Arenas in the backcourt will be the best backcourt in the NBA. But besides John Wall & Evan Turner lets talk about the other prospects in this year's Draft. There players that are sure to go pro like Derrick Favors, Westley Johnson, Greg Monroe, and my favorite college basketball player from this past season Demarcus Cousins. There are others that are getting question about entering this year draft such as Lance Stephenson, Eric Bledsoe, Daniel Orton, and Avery Bradley. O yea and shoutout to Stanley Robinson from UConn (My Favorite College Team) for being ranked number one in the draft among NCAA Juniors ( Via Draftexpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com/rankings/NCAA-Seniors/ .) But as I look at some draft boards I ask myself a few question. Were are so many of this year's top Seniors? Names like Scottie Reynolds, Jerome Dyson, Wayne Chism, and Geirivus Vasques. Well I know we all cant wait until Draft Night. As a Knick's fan let me the first to say I really don't care what we do in the draft because we all know what our main objective is for this off-season. We all can;t wait until draft night but until then there is always good to talk about projections. Check out this mock draft and tell me what ya think and don't forget to follow me on twitter @Zoohood23

What's Next For LeBron

Well Well Well All season I've been hearing about LeBron dis LeBron that. I knew that the Lakers-Cavs Finals wasn't guaranteed after what happened last season. LeBron and the Cavs went down to the Celtics (Or Should I say Ranjo Rando.) Right after the final buzzer sounded in game I started to think LeBron is a Knick. I kinda gave up on LeBron coming to New York but now I think it's very active. First Let me say I am certain I will see Chris Bosh in a Knicks Jersey next season. At first I thought Joe Johnson was also a def Knick as well but when LeBron and the Cavs lost I then had to reconsider. The LeBron Rumors is crazy though I mean LeBron to the Nets because of Jay-Z, LeBron going to the Bulls to follow up Jordan legacy, ughhhhhh just too much. To me Lebron will be a best fit in NY. New York is the City of Dreams. If you can't make it New York you cant make it anywhere. Lebron wouldn't probably be a good fit in New Jersey. He will join Devin Harris and Brook Lopez but not enough players around him. Some people say his best fit will be Chicago. If he goes to Chicago he will be playing wit Derrick Rose and a good Bulls team which could sign D-Wade and then be an unstoppable team in the league. I still want him to come to NY. Just check out the Five: Toney Douglous, Wilson Chandler, LeBron, Gallow, and Bosh. Sounds like a good team to me. Anyway I interviewed some basketball fans on this topic

Point Guards In The Playoffs

Now I don't know if anyone has notice the quality of play of point guards so far in this year playoffs. As always Steve Nash does his part in post-season play but first timers such as Brandon Jennings and Russell Westbrook has also been doing outstanding in the playoffs. There has also been some Point Guards such as Deron Williams, George Hill and Jameer Nelson that have enhanced their play due to the playoffs.




First Lets talk about Westbrook. To me Westbrook is the best Point Guard in this year playoffs. Now some might say Deron Williams but if you watch Westbrook play you see why he is I think he is the best. Westbrook averaged 20.5 PPG to go along with 6.0 RPG and 6.0 APG. Although Westbrook and the Thunder lost to the Lakers in the first round the future looks bright for Westbrook, Durant, and the city of Oklahoma.





Now Deron Williams, some consider him the best PG in the league after his display in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone thought the Jazz wasn't going to make it out the first round due to injuries of Memit Okur and Andre Kirlenko (including me) but D-Will made it possible by averaging 25.3 PPG and 11.3 APG. Pretty impressive I must admit averaging a double-double in this series with former finals MVP Chauncey Billups guarding you. But hats off to D-Will because he lead his team to the second round despite the injuries on his team.



Next is Jameer Nelson. Jameer Nelson is a part of the defending eastern conference champion Orlando Magic. Some considered Nelson the reason why the Magic fell in the Finals to the Lakers last season. This time around Nelson is making sure this is no misunderstanding. Jameer Nelson averages 22.3 PPG in the playoffs so far. He is one of the reasons why the Magic is undefeated so far in the playoffs/ The way Nelson and the Magic is playing makes every team in the east worried about the Magic.



Other PGs such as Brandon Jennings and George Hill has really impressed me. Brandon Jennings is the only rookie starter is this year playoffs. After the Bucks lost star Center Andrew Bogut to a Nasty injury all heads turn to Jennings to lead the young Bucks in to the playoffs. Jennings averaged a 18.7 PPG in his debut series. Jennings and the Bucks forced the Hawks to 7 games but lost. George Hill is another player that caught my attention during the post-season. Hill started for Tony Parker who was just coming back from a broken hand. Everyone suspected the Spurs to lose in the first round saying things like "Their to old." I think George Hill was a key player for the Spurs in that series. He played well averaging 14.3 PPG

Well the second round of the playoffs is well underway so we shall see what will happen through the rest of the post season. Don't forget to follow me @Zoohood23 Till' Next Time......
