UConn 13-0 All Time In Men & Women National Title Game

UConn won both the men's and women's 2014 NCAA National Championships ! Neither team has lost a National Championship once they have appeared in that game. College basketball fans are used to seeing this on the women's side from head coach Geno Auriemma. Auriemma led his most recent lady Huskies squad to a 40-0 record. Meanwhile 2nd year coach former NBA point guard and former UConn point guard Kevin Ollie led his school on an amazing run. As a 7th seed in the East, beat #2 Villanova in the 3rd round after being down 10, knocked off #4 Michigan State in the Elite 8 after being down double digits and in the National Semifinal #1 Florida. Then UConn would beat Kentucky and the best freshmen class since the Michigan Fab Five for the National Championship. Storrs, Connecticut is basketball heaven. For the men it's their 4 title since 1999. Obviously this season the lady Huskies were untouchable knocking off Notre Dame (another undefeated team) to cut down the nets in Nashville, Tennessee. Meanwhile the men improved to 3-0 in the state of Texas after cutting down the nets in Arlington, Texas.

Phil Jackson Makes 1st Move As Knicks Executive...Cans Head Coach Mike Woodson

On March 18th, 2014 Phil Jackson was introduced as President of the New York Knicks. He signed a 5 year deal worth $60 million. The former Knicks player won the 1970 & 1973 NBA Championships. As a head coach he led the Chicago Bulls to a pair of 3 peats : 1991-1993 & 1996-1998. Jackson also led the Los Angeles Lakers to 5 titles including a 3 peat : 2000-02. Phil won his last NBA Championship in 2010 as the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in 7 games. New York missed the 2014 NBA Playoffs and Mike Woodson was relieved of his head coaching duties. That's the first of many moves basketball experts expect Jackson to make. All Star and USA Olympic Gold Medalist Carmelo Anthony will probably opt out of his contact and become a free agent. It will be interesting to see if both sides come together this summer or will they go their separate ways. Jackson already let it be known, he would not be coaching in New York. So many areas he has to work on to improve the Knicks. The New York Knickerbockers have been a mess for quite sometime, on the court, in the front office and economically. Leave it to the Knicks they will keep the basketball world interested ! How long will it take for Phil Jackson to turn New York into an Eastern Conference contender ?

Wrestlemania XXX Is Tonight ! Here Is Why Wrestlemania VI Is Special...

Sunday April 6, 2014 will mark the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania. With one of my favorite wrestlers as a child Ultimate Warrior going into the WWE Hall Of Fame. However WrestleMania VI which took place on Sunday April 1, 1990 will always be special to me. My aunt & uncle may he R.I.P purchased the event. It was the 1st WrestleMania I saw. Hulk Hogan was another favorite wrestler of mine growing up and he took on the Warrior. Hogan's World Championship vs. Warrior and his Intercontinental Championship. It became the first international WrestleMania as Vince McMahon took his baby to Toronto, Ontario Canada and Skydome. Skydome was a great atmosphere with a hotel built into the stadium. Warrior defeated Hogan to become WWF Champion. However some of my other favorite wrestlers took the ring that afternoon : Shawn Michaels (then a member of the Rockers), Bret Hart (then a member of the Hart Foundation) and Demolition who won the tag team belts. Tonight I'll watch online however 24 years ago one WrestleMania took place that will always remain special in my heart.

Monday Night UConn will take on Kentucky for all the marbles. All the chips will be on the table for the 2014 Men's NCAA National Championship. American Athletic Conference (in it's first year) vs. Southeastern Conference. Senior point guard Shabazz Napier won a National Championship in 2011 as a freshmen teaming up with Kemba Walker. John Calapari coached a group of freshman led by Anthony Davis to the 2012 National Championship as Kentucky beat Kansas. UConn grad ex NBA point guard Kevin Ollie a Texas native only in his 2nd season as head coach, has done a tremendous job in Storrs. UConn lost to Louisville 3 times this year however beat Florida twice this year including a Final Four win. Kentucky lost to Florida 3 times this year however they are the SEC team playing for the title. The game will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX UConn has won 3 National Titles since 1999 with the last two coming in San Antonio and Houston. Now they'll try to win one in the Dallas/Ft. Worth/ Arlington area. Meanwhile Kentucky start 5 freshmen who were tabbed the greatest recruiting class before the season started. Both squads seem like teams of destiny especially during the months of March & April. Monday Night one will be crowned a champion.

Obviously Michael Jordan Was Great But Is He The G.O.A.T ? Upon Further Review Let's Take A Look....

1990-91 at the age of 9 going on 10 years old, was the first season I really began to watch the NBA. Michael Jordan was in his 7th NBA season, coming off 3rd straight losses to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Those losses included back to back Eastern Conference Finals losses to those Bad Boys teams. MJ and the Bulls in the spring of 1991 finally exercised those postseason defeats. Chicago swept Detroit in the ECF. Chicago won their first NBA Championship over Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers. As a kid in elementary / middle / high school obviously I enjoyed watch Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls play. Chicago when I was growing up played routinely on NBC and TNT. However my favorite Bulls player was Scottie Pippen. Even as an adult I would get into sports debates especially in the barbershop. I still to this day closing in on age 33 said Wilt Chamberlain is the best big man & Michael Jordan is the best guard. Both players listed in the debate obviously can be arguable. However most people believe because Jordan was 6-0 in the NBA Finals which included a pair of 3 peats that automatically makes him the best ever. Most Jordan fans don't even want to hear another player name mentioned in the debate. A few weeks ago I stumbled across some interested video on YouTube. I'll share with my readers and see what they think. NBA Legends will weigh in on Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, NBA, level of competition, NBA expansion etc...
