The Future of the NBA? Dynamic Duo Will Be Ready To Make Some Noise
 |
| Photo. Aaron hewitt |
Now the Trail Blazers will have two players who are hungry, have a chip on their shoulders, and have something to prove in the same backcourt. This could be dangerous for opposing teams. Lillard has already pave the way by winning the NBA Rookie of the Year, averaged 19 points per game, and 6.5 assists per game last season. McCollum is a dynamic scorer and has a great all around game. The Portland Trail Blazers is a team that will be very exciting to watch during the 2013-2014 season.

Is Kobe Bryant's Career Over?
 |
| Kobe Bryant could have possibly tore is achilles tendon against the Warriors on April 12, 2013 against the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers won 118-116. |
SoSportz.com- One of the greatest players to play the game of basketball career could possibly be over. At age 34, Kobe Bryant continues to dominate the game and puts his team on his back every night. He's dunking on players, shooting fade aways, makes circus shots, and brings it on the defensive end the same way he does on the offensive end. Someone who plays the game with so much passion, love, and tenacity, you hate to see their season end with a terrible injury. With 3:08 left in the fourth quarter, Kobe fell to the ground holding his left calf as he was in obvious pain. He limped to the bench and returned to make two free throws before being helped to the locker room. The MRI was scheduled for today and the diagnosis came back as a torn achilles. The injury will keep him out six to nine months. This is the worst injury in Kobe Bryant's career. If he was a young twenty-three year old player I think he would be able to bounce back but at age thirty-four, it would be a miracle. Of course the way "The Black Mamba" mindset is, he will try his best to comeback strong and prove to everyone why he is who he is. He had been playing 40 to 48 minutes each night to keep the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoff hunt with the 8th seed. Is it still possible without the NBA's top ten greatest player of all time? We will find out soon.

Carmelo Anthony Goes Off For 50 Points Against the Heat
Do you consider Carmelo Anthony one of the elite scorers in NBA history? His New York Knicks are playing great basketball at the right time.
Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard is off to a hot start
Athletes who come from smaller schools sometimes do not get the respect they deserve due to the talent level that they are playing against on a weekly basis. It's time to respect Lillard. He's the real deal and will take the Trail Blazers to another level. Through the first three games of the season, he's averaging 21.3 points per game, 9 assist per game, and 4 rebounds per game. He's the third player in NBA history to post per-game averages of at least 20 points and 9 or more assists through his first three games in the league. The other two were Oscar Robertson and John Wall. Lillard is my pick for the Rookie of the Year(most will have Anthony Davis). Stay tuned, this is just the beginning.-SoSportz

James Harden headed to the Houston Rockets

| James Harden is now a member of the Houston Rockets. |
Harden will provide the Rockets with a very good all around player that can be a difference maker at every aspect of the game. The Thunder fans will miss the "Beard" but now the Houston Rockets fans can get their "Beards" out and have the Toyota Center rocking.
Are college sports more exciting than professional sports?
 |
| The Cameron Crazies from Duke University |
In college sports you have 18-22 year old athletes playing their heart out mainly for the love of the game (some play to go pro) and to win. The game seems faster, the crowd seems to be in it more, and the athletes show so much passion.
In pro sports you have athletes who are living the dream of playing at the highest level. You have some who play with a burning passion and you have some who are playing for the "Check". Sometimes the game seems slow until it's playoff time and sometimes it's very exciting. It's very up and down and you never know what you are going to get night in and night out.

| Kobe Bryant(24) |
When it's all said and done, college sports are more exciting than pros all around. This is just my opinion. What do you think?

Derrick Rose making noise in the sneaker game
SoSportz.com- Derrick Rose is one of the best in the game and has become a superstar on the court. With the release of adizero Rose 2, Rose is also trying to make some noise in the sneaker game.

FAHMI FARAH- AMHERST REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
My name is Fahmi Farah and I am a rising sophomore at Amherst Regional High School. I play basketball every season. I try to stay humble and I work hard. I am a 5'8 point guard and I'm skinny but am starting to hit the weights and get stronger. Last year I played AAU for Dunbar community center in Springfield.
What are your dreams in life?
My dream is to play division 1 basketball then get drafted into the NBA.
What was your best game?
My best game was in an AAU tournament in Hartford, CT. I had 20 points and I missed only 2 shots, was 5/6 on 3's and the team started to play really well especially on the defensive end. There were four other players in double digits that game and it went from a close first half to a blowout.
Why are sports/education important to you?
Sports are important to me because I have loved playing since before I could remember and I always loved to compete and hate to lose in anything. Academics are important because you cannot achieve in basketball without academics. I have seen a lot of players who have had the talent and didn't make the grades so I’m trying to do the opposite. You can't play in college without the grades.
What can you do to make yourself better in your sport?
I can make myself better at basketball by working hard everyday, staying humble, always going 100%, setting goals then going out and attaining them. To get better you have to play with people better than you or just as good, never play below your competition level. Be a student of the game and never stop learning.
How do you make your team better?
I can make any team I am on better by being a leader on and off the court and keeping my team involved at all times by distributing the ball. I have always been a guy who likes an assist just as much as a score. By working hard, being the first guy in the gym and the last one out will send a message to your team and they will want to do the same. Always lead by example.
What advice can you give other student-athletes?
Always keep focused, work hard in school and on the court. Improve everyday, have pride, and never be afraid to guard or play with somebody. Carry yourself as if you are already a college basketball or NBA player but never be cocky. Always be respectful and listen. Actions speak louder than words.

I would like to thank SoSportz for supporting me. It’s a great program for exposure and seeing other athletes with the same goals that I have.
JAMES "LIL J" WEST- VA DYNASTY
My name is James Howard West, IV. My family and friends know me as Lil' J. These days, I go by JJ too since I'm a huge JJ Reddick and Duke fan; and I can shoot the lights out! My other favorite player is Allen Iverson, because I plan to be the next big thing out of Va in his image. I am a student athlete, with a big emphasis on the student part. Having both my mom and dad as teachers, there is no slacking off when it comes to school.
Being a part of the gifted education program and the Math & Science specialty program at my school, I have to work extra hard to maintain good grade or I lose out in the gym. (Yes, my mom will take basketball away if she is not pleased with my grades). Outside of that, I have a little brother Jalen (7), and a little sister Jayel (3) who are some of my biggest fans. I was born in Washington, DC on June 25, 1998. I then moved to Woodbridge, VA when I was 1 year old and have been there ever since. Those who know me say I was born with a basketball in my hand. I started playing on a recreation team when I was 6 years old, but was always in the gym with my dad who has been a basketball coach for the last 12 years.
My dad is currently the head boys basketball coach at Freedom High School where I would play unless I go private school. When I was 10, I started playing with Team Takeover and had the opportunity to travel up and down the East Coast. Just this past Spring, I left the team to play for my Dad under his organization -VA Dynasty. That is where I feel at home and motivated to be me on the court. With that said, I plan on making some noise with my new team Virginia Dynasty starting the new 2011 AAU season. Remember my name- James Howard West, IV. You can follow me on my Youtube account by typing in James West 4th. I'll rep Va to the fullest two up two down.
What are your dreams in life?
My dream in life is to finish high school with honors and go on to Duke University with an academic scholarship to study within the field of Science. It is also with great ambition that my hard work in the classroom continues to carry over to the basketball court so that I can play for Coach K. Then its on to the NBA so my mom can retire.
What was your best game?
I had plenty of good games. The one I can recall recently is when I scored about 27 points and 8 assists. That was a great game because I was allowed to "DO ME" and still get my teammates involved.
Why are sports/education important to you?
Both of those things can help me be more successful in life. My mom always tells me that "education comes first because you can always break your leg". Both of my parents have instilled in me how important education is and once that is taken care of, the sky's the limit. That's why I can't come home with a C, and I always have all A's.
What can you do to make yourself better on your sport?
To make myself better, I need to work harder in my daily workouts, perfect my defensive play, and most importantly, play every game like its my last. My dad works me and my future back court mate out R.J. Barney as he prepares us for Freedom. With me and R.J. we will when two state titles for my father I promise.
How do you make your team better?
That's the first part of my game- I am a team player. I have great court vision which makes me able to see where my teammates are to get them the ball. I can score when I want, but like Lebron I choose to get everyone touches, because team comes first.
What advice can you give other student-athletes?
Keep working hard in the classroom first, then carry that same work ethic into practice and into the game. Hard work and discipline is what gets you to the finish line.
Send a shout out to SoSportz:
I would like to thank SoSportz for supporting student-athletes and for taking the time to get connected with me. This is a great website, and I predict this to be a high class source for athletes like me to get exposure. SoSportz is great, and I plan to have them track me through my career and my recruiting process. God Bless.
DONTAE JONES- EWING HIGH SCHOOL
Tell everyone about yourself?
My name is Dontae Jones and I am a junior at Ewing High School. I'm 6'4 and I play the 2 and 3 on the court.
What are your dreams in life?
My dreams in life are to make it to the league one day but if I don't succeed in that, then I would like to do something with the law.
What was your best game?
My best game was this year in AAU. I had 15 points and two dunks.
Why are sports/education important to you?
Education and sports are important to me because playing basketball all year around keeps me out of trouble. Education is important because even if I don't make it to the pros, with a good education I will be ale to find a good job.
What can you do to make yourself better in your sport?
I can make myself better by practicing on my own, running to stay in shape, and get in the weight room. I have to work hard to better my overall game.
How do you make your team better?
I make my team better by in practice always pushing my teammates to make them work hard. When the entire team is on the same page, we have a better chance of being successful.
What advice can you give other student-athletes?
My advice for other players is to never give up and always have a good attitude when you play because you never know who is watching you play.
