THE POINT GUARD - Episode 34 on BLOGTALKRADIO

Episode 34 of THE POINT GUARD Radio Program.  The PG discusses Dallas Mavericks' owner, Mark Cuban's assessment of whether Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo will prosper in Dallas.  Mr. Cuban seems to corroborate what The PG surmised in last week's show.  The PG also offers Magic Johnson and Norm Nixon as one of the NBA's all-time best backcourt tandems.

FORGOTTEN LAKER DYNASTY LEGEND:NORM NIXON

Forgotten Laker Dynasty Legend: Norm Nixon

Nixon was my favorite Lakers player during the early years of their 80's dynasty.  The Lakers of Nixon's tenure (with Jamal Wilkes, Bob McAdoo, and Michael Cooper and a young, fast Magic Johnson) were like pure-bred greyhounds in transition. It was this team for which the moniker "Showtime" originated.  The Lakers after the Norm Nixon for Byron Scott trade (and with the drafting of James Worthy) became more half-court-oriented offensively and defensively, even though they would still run opportunistically with Magic in transition.  The Lakers of Norm Nixon NEEDED a fast tempo in order to win.  That made for some pretty exciting end-to-end action.  Nobody flowed  better than the Norm Nixon-era Lakers.

The PG agrees with the author of this linked article that Nixon should be considered for the Hall of Fame and DEFINITELY should have his jersey hanging from the rafters.  Nixon was easily among the top three Speed Point Guards (according to E. Pierce's 3 Styles of Point Guard Theory) that ever played the game at the NBA level.

As a matter-of-fact, we have overlooked the Magic Johnson/Norm Nixon backcourt in our ongoing consideration of the great NBA Guard Tandems.  I think we should rectify this situation on tonight's THE POINT GUARD Radio Program.

THE POINT GUARD - Episode 30 by ThePG On Blog Talk Radio

Here is Episode 30 of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program.  The show features ThePG and Speedy the Point Guard and airs every Saturday evening at 6:30 Eastern Time.

On this episode, The PG goes into a detailed examination of how the recent blockbuster trade sending Dwight Howard to the Lakers will cause ThePG to re-assess his earlier prediction that the D-Will/Joe Johnson backcourt will have more of an impact this coming season than the Nash/Kobe tandem.

THE PG CORRECTLY PREDICTS CHANGES BROUGHT IN BY MARK JACKSON AT GOLDEN STATE

The PG calls another one!

As I posted the previous entry, I ran across this excerpt from an episode of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program (on BLOGTALKRADIO) which aired weeks before the start of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season.  In this episode, Speedy asks The PG what he thought of the (at that time) recent hiring of Mark Jackson to replace Keith Smart as coach of the Golden State Warriors.  The PG's response was ultimately determined to be right on the money, including the forecasting of the moving of Monta Ellis, the insertion of a big off-guard (Klay Thompson) into the lineup and an attempt to bring in a low post presence (which turned out to be Andrew Bogut).  The PG predicted the end of Golden State's entertaining brand of high-scoring basketball as Mark Jackson turns the team to a more traditional style of play.  Lastly, ThePG correctly predicted that these changes would make the Warriors a better team - just not as much fun to watch.

According to YAHOO Sports, Stephen Curry should be 100% totally rehabbed from his ankle injury by the first game of the season on October 31st.  Since Monta Ellis has been moved to Milwaukee (and sense the Warriors are finally starting a big guard at the shooting guard position) The PG figures he will finally get a chance to ascertain to which of the 3 Style of Point Guard Curry belongs.

TONY PARKER HIT BY GLASS IN CLUB FIGHT HAS "85% RECOVERY" BUT STILL PLAYING FOR FRANCE

The PG points your attention to Tom Withers' (of Associated Press) article appearing in YAHOO Sports, detailing TP's story of his recovery from the eye injury incurred as a bystander from a shattered bottle during a night club fight between Chris Brown and Drake crews.  Doctors told him the impact was micro-millimeters away from resulting in loss of an eye - which would have effectively ended his basketball career.
