It has obviously been a while since my last post so I have a lot of catching up to do. My last post came right after Miami's Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics in the Conference Finals. As everyone has seen, Miami went on to not only win Game 7 of that series, but they also eventually defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games to win the NBA Championship. So, congratulations to the Miami Heat on winning the second NBA title in franchise history. This title is also the first for LeBron James and should serve to silence his critics, at least for a little while - but it probably won't.
Also, today marks the 2012 NBA Draft where a number of new rookies will begin their NBA journey. Anthony Davis will undoubtedly be the top pick to the New Orleans Hornets but things will get interesting after that. One player who is quickly becoming one of my favorites in this draft is Thomas Robinson from Kansas. His story off the court has been well-documented (if you are unfamiliar, check it out here), but in this interview he talks about how he learned to not take anything for granted and how being drafted will affect him and his sister. Due to a recent event in my life I can definitely relate to his life lesson.
On the most recent episode of the ShoreBall Podcast Show, we released the second version of our NBA Mock Draft. Our selections are listed below and visit our show home page if you would like to listen to that episode and other archived episodes.
