BASKETBALL FROM A FANS PERSPECTIVE
Top 25
Jontay Porter might never play again for Mizzou, next stop the NBA. Most are aware he suffered an ACL injury and is on the sidelines. I’ve checked a couple of mock draft sites and they indicate Porter remains a Top 25 pick. The disclaimer is these sites are not run by the NBA however as I’ve indicated in the past most are doggone accurate.

The NBA is Mexico bound again
You remember the story; the NFL Chiefs and Rams were to play a game in Mexico City. Days prior to the scheduled date the field was deemed too damage for play. The game was moved to Los Angeles with the Rams winning. This time it wasn’t the NFL rather the NBA as the Magic will face the Bulls. Both teams are not the draw they might have been at one time however this will be a test. Mexico City has been mentioned as a possible expansion site at some future date, attendance at the game might prove interesting.

Trouble for Jayhawk Nation
As 2018 closes and 2019 begins Kansas basketball is on top of the world. As this is written the Jayhawks are number one but have ranked no lower than third in the nation. Recruiting 2019 prospects is yet to conclude however is there trouble on the horizon for Jayhawk Nation? Now the Jayhawks have the 51st recruited class for 2019 is that terrible? Several successful programs survive primarily recruiting prospects outside the top 25 in the nation.

A few might remember the Looney Tune roadrunner
and coyote cartoons, there was one scene in almost every cartoon. At some point
a heavy anvil would fall on the coyotes’ head knocking him out. Has the Adidas trial and possible penalties
impacted decisions by several prospects?
The snail moving NCAA announced recently punishment is in the future for
several programs. As I’ve often
indicated I’m the king of speculation, you might not agree with my take but
consider this tidbit. Can you name the
last time Kansas lost a prospect (Jeremiah Robinson-Earl) who’s father played
for Kansas?
Bits n Pieces
We discussed this at one time but thought it might be worth another look. Movies and television programs until recently didn’t accurately portray the action. Technical advances in the industry have allowed the action on the court to be enhanced. The discussion is not the script or even the actors, it represents action on the court. My top five all time and the year they were released:

If true, its apparent Warrior management
haven’t learned the lesson. I believe
their management is shrewd, they are not going to make dumb player personnel
mistakes……maybe. The Wednesday edition
on the ESPN.com NBA page might prove interesting if true. They claim the Warriors are trying to sign
Kawhi Leonard while retaining KD. Sounds
good on paper, we can be sure they can move money around to pay all the parties. What about the basketball, Draymon Green
doesn’t demand the ball but what about Steph and Klay? Add those two plus Kawhi and KD, sorry I can’t
see it.
