Yesterday I gave you Championships Produced and it was cool.
Dre thought it wasn’t quite right, asked me for the files and did a quick remix and it was also cool.
But it wasn’t quite there yet.
I think that got it done.
Couple of points:
- You need a gold or silver player to win. Full stop.
- No team wins without a gold or silver player who’s done it before. Magic, Horry, Duncan,Kobe, Manu,Billups, Prince, Rondo did it on the first go but were playing with Kareem, Hakeem,Robinson, Shaq, Duncan,Wallace & Garnett (all bigs). So Howard needs that plus one to get it done (Lebron had it right).
Oh and given those rules the Contenders are:
It’s all about Boston,Miami, LA San Antonio and Dallas. Orlando and Chicago have some pieces but I don’t think they’re there.
And the big trade piece for the title hopes of the Knicks?

Not Melo
Was it good for you?

I have no idea either
