If Ant is able to bring the Twolves to the promised land, he will be following the footsteps of the great MJ; leaving an indelible mark in modern-day basketball, and cementing a legacy as the face of the future of the NBA.
It’s On to the 2nd Round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs
So there you have it. I’ve got the newbies OKC Thunder and the Minnesota Twolves surviving the Western wars, while the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks step forward for the Eastern front.

Team chemistry is that intangible ingredient that will make or unmake a team. It refers to the synergy, cohesion and healthy relationships among teammates. It provides the supportive environment that leads to cooperation, and ultimately, success. Thus, in a team sport like basketball, the acquisition of star players may not necessarily lead to success.

Wake Up, It’s Playoff Time!!!
Who moves up to the next round? Who goes deep into the postseason wars? Compare your picks with mine. You willing to bet your mother-in-law on this? 🙂

The article chronicles the events that eventually gave birth to the nickname: The Fighting Filipinos. It is my hope that with stories such as these, we may be able to inculcate a sense of nationalism and a stronger pride in our country and people, particularly the youth of today.
