Splash Brothers

     Back court tandems plays the most important role in basketball, if you are a guard you must have a partner that suits your ability and has the same basketball IQ. Guards are the most important person inside the court, they are the one controls the game. It took me a lot of time to feature one of the most successful back court tandem in the NBA today They are called the "Splash Brothers", why? let's find out.

  Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both son of former NBA players were not recognized during high school, but both of them have successful college basketball career before they were selected as first round pick for Golden State Warriors, both of them played as starting guards, with their exceptional skills as long range shooters both of them earned not only public attention but also from NBA players. They were the first players who set various NBA records in the 3 point field by a pair of teammates and both of them won the three - point contest. They also became the first teammate in the league to be the starting guards in the All Star game since 1975, and they were the Warriors first All Star since 1993. They also became the first guard combo to be named in the All Star NBA Team in the same season since 1979 - 80. Two of them helped the Warriors to win their 2015 NBA Championship Title after 40 years.

   No Doubt, if they were called "Splash Brothers", they were the worst nightmare of every players in the NBA, with their guard skills and their back to back three point field goals, they can make even fans from the other team cheer for them. Well, all I can say is NBA can be still fun without Kobe, even if I am a Kobe fan and seems he will retire this season I still have the reason to watch the NBA. It is still a very long way for Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, they're  both young and successful players in the league and they can still make themselves improve and they have a lot of things to do to become a LEGEND, but what they are showing now is they can be as great as Mike, LBJ, KD and Kobe. More to come for the "Splash Brothers".

My Favorite Warrior

" I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" 

-Philippians 4:13-

I grew up being a hoops fan, but I admit I only admire Michael Jordan. For me he is the Greatest Player of all time. I know there is Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Kevin Durant who rule the Basketball Planet and I admit they have the best skills, but I still really admire Michael Jordan, but not until this star guard enter the picture and by just one blink of an eye most of the hoops fan amazed and at the same time adore his basketball skills.


Wardell Stephen Curry, born March 14, 1988, jersey number 30  playing Guard of the 2015 NBA Champion Golden State Warrior. "Steph" as what the hoops world call him is the greatest shooter of the NBA, his fascinating shots from the half court is really amazing, and most of the Star Players in the NBA reacted on that shot, he even made Kobe smile during the All Star game. This guy had a lot of achievements but he is just so quiet about that, he is humble beyond those blessings that he received and no wonder he is blessed because of his attitude.

The most admirable attitude that he have is being a Man Of God, he was once condemn by the NBA community because he thank HIS master for winning the finals and being the MVP, but he ignore it and still he praise the name of the Lord. Nike the most leading sports clothing in the world offer him to be a part of their team, but he declined because Nike refused to grant his request to put his favorite verse on the shoes that he will be endorsing, that's why he accepted the offer from Under Armour, because they grant his request.

We can now often see a person who acknowledge and knows God after all, there maybe some but in the world of celebrities only few knows God. Hands down to Steph Curry for he is not ashame to shout the name of the Lord in the whole wide world. That is why blessings are over flowing to him and his family. Bless this man who acknowledge the Lord despite from the adversities that he is facing.

I've been hearing his name from the Basketball World, and I was so curious why he is so famous and he took the junior league by storm. By his explosive points and filling in the stats, no wonder he can be the future of the De La Salle Community and the Philippine Basketball.

I am talking about the UAAP Season 78 Most Valuable Players for Juniors, Aljun Melecio, playing Guard of the De La Salle Zobel Junior Archers. This humble guy has post moves like Ginebra guard Scottie Thompson, and can do outside and inside shots. He is the former back court tandem of Renzo Subido that is now the playing guard of the UST Growling Tigers. His breathtaking  performance lift his team to the UAAP Season 78 Junior Basketball Finals against Ateneo Blue Eaglets and faced NU Bullpups, eventhough they end up as a runner up, he still made an excellent blow to make the game more exciting with his shots.

After Kobe Paras left the chance to play with La Salle and committed himself to be in UCLA Bruins, The team is looking for a replacement and they need a solid guard who can do all the work inside the court, they need an all around guard who can help them during crunch time and he is the perfect fit.

I have read and heard that he committed to play with the De La Salle Green Archers in College, well not a doubt if  DLSU will lock him out, because Melecio is qualified for that empty post. After JV Casio, Simon Atkins, Joseph Yeo, LA Revilla, and Almond Vosotros left the team they have been searching for the best guards in the country and the quest had ended, Hoping to feature him in my blogs, and I'm sure he will be a crowd favorite.

I am looking forward to meet this guy and I hope there is a big chance for me to know him personally.
