'Logo' West talks GSW, 'Super Teams', more

Found February 08, 2012 on SI.com:
PLAYERS: Jerry West,  Kobe Bryant
TEAMS: Golden State Warriors,  Los Angeles Lakers

Jerry West is convinced Golden State will eventually turn its long-suffering franchise around, isn't convinced that there are any "Super Teams" in today's NBA and wonders why his prized pupil, Kobe Bryant, needs to log so many minutes at 33 years old. As the NBA legend and Warriors consultantreminded us again in his autobiography, "West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life," he is as candid as they come and always worth a listen. Here's what he had to say in a recent discussion with SI.com.

JaVale McGee perfect at getting back on defense

Via TheProBasketballTalk  |  February 07, 2012
Well would you look at this. Here we have a center sprinting back on defense. Nothing wrong with this picture, in fact this is actually encouraged. Don't you think the Warriors would love Kwame Brown to show this kind of determination and hustle? Anyways, I can't hate on this, he is just getting back on defense since JaVale knows he didn't get the rebound, so the...

Watch Monta Ellis’ 48-Point Barrage Against the Thunder

Via Dime  |  February 08, 2012
Monta Ellis is without a doubt one of my favorite players to watch play ball. The guy is incredible. When rumors were surfacing last year that my Sixers were in talks to potentially deal Andre Iguodala for Ellis, despite the fact that I’m supporter of Iguodala, I was all about it. The idea of bringing [...]
