Kevin Hart: 2-Time Celebrity Game Most Valuable Player (MVP)

Since the beginning of this blog I have talked about the countless legends that have graced the court. This time I decided to lighten things up with a little humor  A few weeks ago the NBA hosted its All Star Weekend celebration which included the annual celebrity game. It is a fun filled event for fans to watch their favourite celebrities play basketball with many celebrity's have participating including J-Cole, Justin Bieber, Nick Cannon, and Kevin Hart. In the video below, Kevin Hart, overcome with the joy of winning the MVP award for the second time, describes to his fans how basketball is a game of leadership and teamwork.

Kobe Bryant: The Essence Of Clutch

Kobe Bryant making a last second shot
Picture this...Its the 4th quarter with five seconds left in the game, your team is down by one point and you have possession of the ball. All you need is that one bucket that will give your team the win...If a situation like this ever presents itself, you better have Kobe Bryant take the deciding shot. Kobe Bryant is a true leader because of his ability to make shots late in the game as there are a ton of things going through one's mind at that moment.  Yet mentally, Kobe is as tough as they came. He pushes past all the pressure of taking the last second and when he does that, he escalates his game to the next level by effortlessly scoring over the best defenders in the world. Read the article below which goes through the most clutch moments of Kobe Bryant's career. Tell me what you guys think about Kobe!
