The Memphis Grizzlies are the best team in the NBA

Tony Allen showing you who the best team in the NBA is.

SoSportz.com-  Fans on Beale Street should be partying because the Memphis Grizzlies are the best team in the NBA. They don't have all the super stars like the Miami Heat, OKC Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, or the Boston Celtics. They have a team that's very good at every position and play excellent together. The Grizzlies starting five consist of Mike Conley, Rudy Gay, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol. Guys who don't get a lot of recognition but are some of the top players and their position. These five guys are on a mission this season and feel they have the talent to make a run at the NBA Finals. The motto they use is "Why Not Us".  Fans and players around the league will soon take notice and realize the Grizzlies are the real deal.  Standing at 7-1, they have beaten the best teams in the league this week alone in convincing fashion. Starting with the Heat(104-86), Thunder(107-97), and the Knicks(105-95 ). Keep your eyes on Memphis the rest of the season, you will become a believer.

Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard is off to a hot start

SoSportz.com- Confidence, swagger, heart, hard work, and passion. These are just a few words that describe Portland Trail Blazers rookie point guard Damian Lillard. I didn't know too much about Lillard in college, Weber State, but he caught my eye during the NBA Summer League play. The way he scores at will and the explosiveness that he displays will have him right at the top of the point guard ranks along with Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, and Derron Williams. 

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.

James Harden headed to the Houston Rockets

James Harden is now a member of the Houston Rockets.

SoSportz.com- The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded James Harden, Daequan Cook, Lazar Hayward and Cole Aldrich to the Houston Rockets for Jeremy Lamb, Kevin Martin, and future draft picks.

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. 

Houston Texans Running Backs Arian Foster & Ben Tate are the best duo in the NFL

SoSportz.com- The dynamic duo of Arian Foster and Ben Tate have started the season strong.  In two games, Foster has 189 yards on 54 carries with 2 touchdowns and Tate has tallied 80 yards on 17 carries scoring 2 touchdowns.  The two have very distinct differences in their game but are very productive. Foster is the smoother of the two.  He looks like he's gliding when he runs the football. He has deceptive speed and can take it the distance on any given play.  Tate is more of a rugged runner who can run through you or around you. They are both confident and compliment each other very well. The Houston Texans have the luxury of having two Pro Bowl caliber running backs in the backfield and if they continue their play, I can see the Texans having two 1,000 yards rushers this year.  The Super Bowl is looking more realistic each week for the reigning AFC South champions.
