Many ppl may not know but im actually a big NBA fan too. I followed closely because of Utah Jazz. They were playing one of the best basketball back in the 90s when i started supporting them. Those days the only team that probably could rival us were the Chicago Bulls. They had the likes of M.Jordan, Pippen and the bad-boy Rodman in their team. Mind u, Jordan alone could rip any teams apart then. Pippen was another legend too. I liken him to Stevie Gerrard where both of them possess supremely offensive and defensive abilities. And most impt, both were very consistent in their game. As for Rodman, he's very talented esp when grabbing rebounds. But too bad he very attutide sia.
Okay back to the present day. Both the Jazz and Bulls have mellowed after the millenium year. Though, the Jazz kept their head coach all along this years. Credits to him for bringing in many young players. Today's OT win vs the G.S Warriors were proof of our player's hunger for success. Now we are 2-0 up in the semis playoffs. I'm confident we can go all the way to the final.
At least when Newcastle isn't doing too well in the EPL, i can take pride in Utah Jazz bringing out the goods.
