2013 NBA Finals Preview

Small Forwards: LeBron James vs. Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard drew the short straw; he€™s going up against the league MVP and best player in the world right now. This means that Leonard has two options, to either accept the fact that he€™s going to spend the next few weeks being embarrassed on SportsCenter on the hour or decide that this is his time. One thing that likely won€™t happen is James being held to a handful of points and fouling out every game, but that doesn€™t mean that Leonard can€™t make him earn every basket. LeBron is going to have to take every game a quarter at a time, and decide what role he wants to fill be it distributer or scorer. Truthfully Leonard, who has a great deal of potential, will not likely be more than an irritant. Leonard will need to work within the offense to get his shots and try and use his athleticism to pressure James as a defender. With an unselfish mentality, the Spurs will provide Leonard with plenty of opportunities to force the issue.

Dante R Maddox got started in writing about pop culture in 2007. He developed his conversational style majoring in English and minoring in speech communication, his desire to write as if he were speaking to the reader face to face was the bane of many professors. An odd blend of geek cred and regular fella chic', you're just as likely to end up talking about baseball or politics as you are about comic books and movies (just don't mention Tucker Carlson, you are addressing the man who will go to jail for assault in the future after all). He wrote a book called The Lineage of Durge that's available on Amazon for a small amount of money, he's writing a second while acting as Editor-in-Stuff over at Saga Online Press, there is a graphic novel expansion of his book series also in the works as well as continued development of his cheesecannon, one day Canada...one day (Seriously, a piece of ham, you slice it up and now it's bacon?!?!? I say thee nay!!!)
