Warriors / Rockets How Will The West Be Won ?

Houston and Golden State are battling for the Western Conference number one seed, for the NBA Playoffs. Golden State is looking to defend their title for last season. The Warriors are looking to go to the NBA Finals for the 4th year in a row. The Rockets at the time of this article are 45-13, meanwhile the Warriors are 46-14. Essentially they are both tied for the top spot in the Western Conference currently. Houston added Chris Paul from the Clippers during the off season. He joins MVP candidate James Harden in the back court. Last season the Warriors added Kevin Durant to join Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The teams met 3 times so far this season. Houston has won 2 of the 3 match ups. Maybe teams such as Oklahoma City and San Antonio may throw a wrench in this potential Western Conference Finals match up.

Thanks TNT : Shaq & Kobe Give Insight

Last Saturday night, prior to NBA All Star Saturday night festivities TNT aired a conversation. That conversation was between Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. It was absolutely great. To have the dynamic duo who three peated in 2000-2001-2002 air out their similarities as well as their differences. Many of us picked a side for years, who was right, who was wrong. While doing that we didn't have any insight on what really went down in Los Angeles, between O'Neal & Bryant. Any basketball fan out there, that hasn't seen this hour long sit down, please do so ! We at Sports247365 really don't want to give away to much detail, for those who have yet to view the interview. However what we learned is both players wanted to win. They wanted to win bad. They wanted to bring championships back to Los Angeles and the Lakers organizations. TNT us basketball fans we thank you for that.

Air Jordan 3 30th Anniversary

Last weekend during the 2018 NBA All Star Weekend in Los Angeles, Brand Jordan released a retro sneaker. It was a celebratory weekend to say the least. Michael Jordan celebrated his 55th birthday. Nike Air returned to this Black Cement release. During the 1988 NBA All Star weekend Michael Jordan won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, while wearing a pair of 3's. However those sneakers were white. Here at Sports247365 the Air Jordan 3 is one of our favorites all time, from the Air Jordan collection. Off the court, they are very fashionable. Off the court, they can be dressed up and they can be dressed down. Both all star teams this year had uniforms made by Jordan Brand. Even the celebrity game participating teams had uniforms made by Jordan Brand.

Foles SB LII MVP

Nick Foles final Super Bowl LII stats (including a touchdown reception !) : 28/43 - 373 yards - 3 TD's - 1 INT. Philadelphia 41, New England 33. By now so many people know the Nick Foles story in terms of trial and tribulations over the past few seasons professionally. The thoughts of retirement. Being traded from Philadelphia to the Rams. Eventually being cut by the Rams. Out of football, nearly walked away from the game. Comes back to play for his ex coach Andy Reid in Kansas City, in a back up role. Signing as a free agent last summer to back up 2nd year pro Carson Wentz. Wentz having a MVP type season. Wentz going down in the 3rd quarter in Los Angeles with a torn ACL. Foles leading a drive for the game winning field goal. That win over the Rams clinched the NFC East. Following week at the Giants Foles throws for multiple touchdowns in a comeback win over New York. The on Christmas night it was a struggle for Foles as Eagles win a defensive struggle vs. Raiders. Played a little over a quarter in season finale a 6-0 defeat at home vs. Dallas and it was more struggles. 2 weeks to think about it before game vs. Atlanta. Eagles won 15-10. Next week top Vikings defense coming in. Minnesota jumped out to a 7-0 lead. 38 unanswered scored by Philadelphia. 38-7 NFC Championship Game win. My apologies here at Sports247365 who thought once Wentz down in Los Angeles, the Super Bowl dreams were over. Foles and the Eagles proved so many wrong including Sports247365.

6th Super Bowl Win Stripped Away For Brady

Tom Brady final statistics in Superbowl LII : 28/48 - 505 yards - 3 TDs - 0 INT.
Final score : Philadelphia 41, New England 33. The Eagles captured their 1st Superbowl championship. New England would lose their 3rd under Brady. New England would lose their 5th overall, tying Denver for the most losses in Superbowl history. 38-33 was the score, slightly over 2 minutes remaining and on a 2nd & 2 history was made. Brandon Graham got the interior push and stripped the ball away from Tom Brady, rookie Derek Barnett made the recovery. It was the beginning of the end. The end of a 57 year drought in Philadelphia. The two teams met in Jacksonville in Superbowl XXXIX. Final score : 24-21 New England, 9 years ago. Revenge was served in Minneapolis.
