So a few weeks ago I saw this commercial or at least a recent upload on The channel Of Damian Lillard and I have to say it was one of the best commercials even though it was promoting the shoe product Adidas. So basically the commercial did star Damian Lillard which shows him passing a basketball asking himself questions And well they were very interesting and even innovating questions, especially self asking questions as well and seeing this commercial has even lead to even asking myself these questions: Who are you? Who do yo do it for?  What about the pressure? What do you believe? Well I have respect for how much hard work he put in his game and his craft which is playing basketball and music is also in there which I also respect as well I can see his efforts. Even seeing how the definition of the commercial and how he plays can really blend very well well

Who are you? 

A guy that loves wrestling

A guy that loves fitness 

Whether it is :

Using the Shake Weight:

Using the Perfect Pushup

Running The Elliptical 

Making Morning Run accomplishment 

A guy that enjoys making smoothies

A guy that displays so much energy: 

A brother, a son, a nephew and uncle and even a friend. 

Why do I do them? 

Because I enjoy finding something I can put my energy in, I have a huge history of Laziness and on top of that growing up with challenges of my own and continue to experience challenges and even reverberate on stuff that I been through and even continue make past experiences to get me even stronger even though there were times they would bring me down. 

What do you believe? 

Believing that sky can be the limit if you put your work in. Believing in if you reverberate positive results from hard work and overcoming your struggles like the struggles I face day in and day out. 

Make what you are shooting for and working for second nature. Even Make waking up the best thing to happen to you because you get to live a new day fresh and able to do new things. Strive to succeed and make your painful history make you stronger because you been through it and write a new history. 

What do you represent? 

I represent everyone from different types of challenges and even me using the sport life of analogy because life is a competition. 

I believe embrace now but never be complacent because then you end up not getting or strive for the potential you are aiming to reach. 

How to score through strikes

Seeing how a quarterback when they have to take a sack at times especially where they get taken down or even have any obstruction stopped them and on top of that even something that is hard to fight away and escape as well. Seeing a quarterback break a tackle can be a really rare thing and even escape a sack in pressure circumstances is very phenomenal to watch. A tackle can be hard to break especially for quarterbacks but really Running backs have the ability to break tackles, but also wide receivers and even tight ends. As of late we have tons of scrambling quarterbacks in this time and age where they can either run or even throw the football. One of them I really want to talk about is an outstanding play made by Deshaun Watson and as impressive as how Lamar Jackson has been playing, but the play that really stood out really was Deshaun Watson's Touchdown pass. I remember watching this game a couple weeks back and seeing the play he made was exciting and this has to be seen:

Seeing what Deshaun Watson did in this Phenomenal play and scoring a touchdown he had to overcome and fight some problems that was in his way, that could have prevented him from making this score. The play well I will break it down, and to first explain is first of all the sack that Deshaun Watson escaped from and that was very impressive and it really looked as if he was going to get sacked but escaped from the tackle. Then on top of that he also got kicked in the face which could have prevented him from making a phenomenal play which is a touchdown and watching the play being made I can tell you that it was hard to make and something I can't even make in any stretch of the imagination. But It can be doubt you can say but I believe it depends how much resilient and perseverance and even hard work you put into overcoming the toughest odds, which can be on whatever you are doing.


So the attempted Sack That Deshaun Watson avoided and even escaped from, well almost the same thing. So The attempted sack kind of demonstrates how not to let things or challenges or even adversity bring you down, and quite frankly I haven't really excelled at it growing up and there are so many challenges I did not really learn to overcome on my own and the biggest challenges was laziness and seemed like Laziness letting my overly leisure get the best of me and even my overeating holding me back from getting my workout on, or even striving to persevere and push further so I can say laziness was the biggest defensive lineman that has been trying to bring me down. So as I have been working out I have been getting into a routine of Working out every morning and even when the elliptical was not working I have found that I can even go running in my backyard, and even sometimes in the Field Park down the street from my house. Even on days I have not eaten well I continue to do my workout and bounce back and let whatever decision I made before or even if I have eaten poorly I continue working out and even continue to persevere where you show no sign of quitting or even giving or just saying this is way too hard or making a ton of excuses that causes you to give up, I have excuses but I dont let them stop me from doing what I need to do.


The kick in the face well the kick in the face that Deshaun Watson took but still managed to throw a Touchdown which was one of the most impressive plays, well the kick in the face can mean a major distraction especially where I would want to sleep in and skip out on my workout but now even realizing where it would not bring any production or even the temporary pleasure would cause you to waste so much time. Pleasure that is temporary but not developing like distractions really  can kick you in the face as in stop you from having a real vision to the tunnel of what your holy grail is. For myself  me just getting stronger and even losing weight and succeeding in Wrestling is what I need to overcome and battle through the kick in the face.

The highlight of this game can really explain the determination that was shown from Watson and on top of that just keep working at what you are working no matter what the distraction is whether it brings you down or even keep you from seeing what the big picture really is or making a successful accomplishment whether it is from your job or even at school or even making the most important smallest task possible.

Stark Raving Mad Part 2!

So with the Patriots on a huge 8 game run and now up for a real challenge where they only challenge in the first 8 games was of Course the Baltimore Ravens. Seeing The Ravens even when they didn't win against the Kansas City Chiefs that was one of the most resilient fight backs. For the Patriots well I will tell you this though they have been dominating against teams they were supposed to beat except the Steelers and the Bills and on top of that they had loads of shutouts and allowed almost every game less than 30 points, and oh man it was really insane even allowing few touchdowns as well. As for the Ravens Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have also been on a roll when he was frustrated with settling for Field Goals you can he that he wanted scores and the fact that he out dueled Seahawks Super Bowl winning Quarterback Russel Wilson. Well it was also much thanks to the Ravens Defense. Seeing the intensity in their last game against the Seahawks, led to intriguing questions on will the Ravens be a challenge against the New England Patriots?

The Answer to the question is Beyond Yes.

Beyond Yes because they were not just a challenge to the New England Patriots, they were a huge problem to the Patriots. And the fact that the Patriots were on the Road against the Rowdy Fans of the Baltimore Ravens really gave a lot of fuel to the players. Lamar Jackson especially even during their rough 2 game slide you can see Lamar Jackson put in an effort in putting their team on the board, just displaying that energy and even how they rebound from the 2 game slide. Watching Lamar Jackson's highlights especially the one that stood out was against the Chiefs especially where the Ravens defense struggled against Pat Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson put in an effort to carry the team even if they lost he still brought the game closer. Even against the Browns where they have struggled defensively still had a fair display of Offense from Lamar Jackson where he threw 3 defensive touchdowns and had a good amount of rushing yards, so the huge talk of Lamar Jackson is a huge factor being behind the coach of John Harbaugh.

On to the Patriots they have won 8 games and the closest game they had so far before the Baltimore Ravens was the Buffalo Bills where it was a defensive slug fest.  And then had multiple games especially against two of their division foes where there were shutouts. Even where they were getting consecutive interceptions.  Games that could have been upsets turned out to be major blowouts which explains that the Patriots seemed like they were not ready against the Baltimore Ravens. When the Ravens really came ready and came storming after their bye week with a load of momentum. The Patriots never faced a tough team like the Ravens especially being on the road, and a tough quarterback like in Lamar Jackson and not even expecting a quarterback like Lamar Jackson to overcome the tough Patriots defense. Another part of the game was where Earl Thomas really showed up against Tom Brady and dominated and the Ravens Secondary and the rest of the pass defense was a phenomenon.

A took away I really got from the game was is How are you showing up against challenges and even do you show up every week against problems with energy and desire no matter what the circumstances are. Especially if you want to strive for something higher and not settle like where Lamar Jackson was not settling for field goals but really striving to score touchdowns which he was getting whether it was rushing or even passing. Are you going for something higher, or aiming to be higher or are you settling just being comfortable where you are, just being complacent with what you have. Well Seeing how Lamar Jackson played as of late has set a lot of volumes and even set a tone of the work ethic of the whole team of the Baltimore Ravens which also explains how strong is my work ethic. Having a Strong work ethic not just in the employment field but in different aspects of your life really leans on how you are not really overcome but standing up to whatever you are against. The story I explained was on my rough days when I did the paper route with my brother on Sunday and it really felt like I would never get this done because I had to do over 200 papers, and even when I was not there my brother had to do over 200 papers, which explains doing more houses. It was one of the toughest days but one thing I had to overcome and strive to get things done sooner, and eventually mange to complete my challenge and also make a task and try to complete in which low and behold I did.

Nostalgia back in the 2013-2014 NBA Season

The NBA 2013-14 season had a ton of unusual events from The Celtics and The Lakers both missing the Playoffs in the same season for the first time in 20 years. Even The Knicks, Celtics and Lakers Missing the playoffs in the same season for the first time. Kevin Durant winning MVP the first of the former OKC Big 3 to win MVP. Brad Stevens having his 1st year coaching in the NBA with the Boston Celtics. And Doc Rivers coaching run with the Celtics officially ended and his coaching run with the Clippers beginning. Even Mid way through Season Phil Jackson for the 1st time becomes and executive for the New York Knicks. Even One of the biggest bizarre events was the 76ers Suffer one of the biggest losing streak at 26 where they were mocked all over the Sports entertainment and journalism industry.  Another thing is despite the disastrous season from the 76ers a fellow player on the team Michael Carter Williams wins rookie of the year.  And even Jimmy Butler gets a starting spot on the Chicago Bulls after trading Luol Deng. But The main story that has happened was the rematch from the NBA Finals from 2013 with the 2 same teams going into the finals in 2014.

  

 The NBA finals in 2013 was the match I was kind of hoping for and I remember a a while back I did a blog on the 2 big 3 NBA stars on their respective teams. The Team that is very well coached with the San Antonio Spurs, and The Miami That was very well coached but had some awesome talent especially with Ray Allen departing from his other Playoff bound, Champion Aspired Celtics, to join their fellow playoff rivals Miami Heat as their shooting addition. Well This has been a year removed from the Miami Heat winning their second NBA Championship alongside Dwayne Wade and Lebron winning his 1st. So they came off a Championship win over Oklahoma City Thunder as the San Antonio Spurs came off a year removed from Being eliminated in the Western Conference Finals after an impressive finish to the season connecting to their big playoff run. With them finishing 50-16 after their impressive 10 game run, and 10 game playoff run before losing their next 4 to he handed their playoff exit. The fact that the Spurs made their major bounce back to push their ticket to the NBA finals was extremely impressive.  So with the Spurs appearing in the NBA Finals and then facing the Defending Champion Miami Heat was great to see them trading blows, as each team won a game after losing the previous game and went down to the wire, except games 6 or 7 where Miami Heat won 2 straight games. As the Spurs faced the disappointing Side to the NBA Finals Finish.

How did the Spurs respond to the Devastating loss?

Well there was one good answer that no one would think would even happen. Which was fight their way back to the NBA Finals and win the championship. Seeing a coach like Gregg Poppovich who has been one of the most successful coaches in the NBA, and to hear from the players on how he rejuvenated the team to rebound and tell them this is a new season what happened before, happened before, and they seemed ready to play with energy and will and even returned to the NBA Finals. So the fact that they came into the season just storming and fighting for the playoff spot right from the get-go had a ton of desire and energy already shown in from of fans and basketball fans and the team as well. Well all I will say is Wow it was really amazing seeing how this team really bounce back and did a great job coming back to the Finals leading them to their first back to back NBA Finals Appearance and another team to win a championship after losing the NBA Finals the year before. I saw their hunger and desire even in the playoff run where they almost fell flat against the Mavericks when they were pushed to 7 games and then made their rebound in the later round storming their way into the Finals. And then when they lost game 1 in the NBA Finals it almost looked like it was going to be deja vu  all over again but good thing for the Spurs that was not the case. They bounce back in the next 4 games to avenge their loss and get their retribution with the Spurs and on top of that Kawhi Leonard making a major contribution in the finals earning a Finals MVP alongside the championship ring which was a great reward for his defensive performance against a strong Miami Heat high powered offense.

What was the point of bringing up this Moment in the NBA Finals?

Well the point is that we are not perfect! Especially myself, and apparently we all have our shortcomings and even have our struggles. The real question also is How do we rebound from our shortcomings do we mope around about it or do we figure out how to rebound and when we get the opportunity do we take the golden opportunity and take advantage of it. Well it is always good to shake it off and then move on and stay focused. And for my experience that is what I am working towards especially when I deal with my weakness like not eating right and there are times when I am mad about how undisciplined I am but I continue to stay focused and figure out how to keep my eye on the prize and not give up, meaning continue to do what you are doing, and just learn to make changes and continue to be hungry for it and even how to keep fighting and take the brass ring and grab it when there is an opportunity.
