Scoreboards

In my previous “basketball scoreboards” article, I discussed five amazing moments from the NBA postseason that we just witnessed. In this article I will continue from where I left and will discuss 5 more crazy moments – and in this article – the craziest of them all!

5. The return of Rajon Rondo
The Celtics guard, Rajon Rondo dislocated his elbow in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference against the Miami Heat. His injury was a great loss to the team and the fans were shocked, but his return later in the same game was astonishing! His return boosted and motivated the players and they went on to win the game. You won’t be able to find any more faithful and dedicated player than Rondo!

It seems to be a rule that almost every MLB team has player who thinks only about himself and not of the team as a collective unit. It also seems like more and more of these personalities are appearing in MLB. In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the 5 players who I consider to be the 5 most selfish players of MLB.

5. Carlos Zambrano
Carlos Zambrano plays for the Chicago Cubs and is known for his short temper in Major League Baseball. More often than it seems like all he is interested in is himself and his own performance. He does not react when the team performs well but he certainly does when something goes wrong with him, and then he is ready to start a battle. He has a huge list of fights in the MLB, and a lot of players have fallen prey to his temper! (Unfortunately for them – he is 6' 5" and 260 pounds!)

This season was astonishing! The results were pretty unexpected in the playoffs. Some players and teams whom the fans did not expect much from, performed really well. Overall, we saw some of those most exciting games that the post-season has offered in a few years. We are now heading towards the end of the season where soon the NBA Champions would be crowned. Before the season draws to an end, in this basketballs scoreboards feature, I have decided to take a look back at the ten craziest moments from the NBA post-season. Here’s the list!

The NBA has a massive mix of personalities and talents. In this basketball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the players with the craziest and most unstable personalities of all.. the ones who will always be remembered by the fans for their unique character and for their infamous incidents off as well as on the court. These are the players that were always in the spotlight, and who will always be talked about!

10. Gilbert Arenas
Gilbert Arenas was picked by the Wizards so that they could strengthen their team, but with Arena’s regular crazy behavior in the locker room they failed to do so. He brought guns into the locker room and was known for his sarcastic and negative remarks which contributed to the team’s failure.

The English Premier League has come to an end and now is the time to take a look back at the season’s top players. The EPL this year has been very unpredictable and the results were often not as they were expected. Although Manchester United won once again, the points difference between them and the next ten teams was the smallest for many years.

This season is also notable for the performances of a few outstanding players. Here is my “soccer scoreboards” top 5 players of this season:

Broadcasters or announcers are an important part of every baseball game. They can either make your baseball experience all the more enjoyable and exhilarating, or they can make the same experience an extremely painful ordeal. In this baseball scoreboards article I have taken a look at the top broadcasters or announcers in MLB, whose spoken words can make baseball fans question their strongest perceptions.

1.Vin Scully – Vin Scully is a living legend when it comes to MLB broadcasting and announcing. In the specialized profession of baseball announcing, he is the benchmark in the industry. If a young broadcaster is seeking a career out of the profession, then he has to try and be as good as Vin Scully. Scully started his broadcasting career in 1950 (and is still going strong) with the Dodgers, when they were still called the Brooklyn Dodgers. When he is doing a play-by-play for any game, he doesn’t need any color commentator to assist him in filling in between plays. He was NBC’s lead baseball announcer from 1983 – 1989, and the Hall of Fame awarded him the Ford Frick award in 1982.

This last article in this “basketball scoreboards” series, I have looked at the remaining four non-drug related incidents in the NBA history, which led to the players receiving the long suspensions ever!

7 - 15 games, Carmelo Anthony – With the basketball scoreboards showing just 2 minutes left in the game, played out between the Knicks and the Nuggets at Madison Square Garden, a heated argument started when Mardy Collins, in an attempt to avoid J.R.Smith, fouled by grabbing him by his neck. A number of players got involved in the argument and the incident escalated to such an extent that Carmelo Anthony punched Mardy Collins right in the face. Every player who was involved in the argument was thrashed with a suspension and Carmelo Anthony received the longest of all; 15 games.

In the first part of this article, I wrote about 3 of the longest suspensions in NBA ever given for a non-drug incident. In this basketball scoreboards feature, I will continue from where I left off in the last article, and talk about 3 more incidents that led to long suspensions. 4 - 30 games, Stephen Jackson – Stephen Jackson was “awarded” a 30 games suspension in 2004 when he and Ron Artest zoomed into the crowd during a game and randomly started throwing punches at fans. He was among the nine players who received a suspension in the commonly known ‘Palace Brawl’. Immediately after the incident, the players who were involved were handed an indefinite ban by the NBA, however the next day this decision was changed and the players were given their respective finite bans. Due to this ugly fight between the players and the fans, the game was stopped with the basketball scoreboards showing that there was just 45.9 seconds remaining in the game.

Every team in the NFL has its own fervent fan following, which is a great thing, but this is also reflected in the fact that fans can just as fervently hate other teams. This hatred can sprout from the actions of one of the teams’ players, or the teams’ collective personality, or simply out of envy. In this “football scoreboards” article, I will take a look at today’s top 5 most hated NFL teams and why they are disliked so much.

5 - Pittsburg Steelers – in the case of the Steelers, the hatred for the team arises from the fact that they are led by one of the most conscientiously corrupt and hated men in the NFL. Ben Roethlisberger has escaped 3 rape charges, and the fans are savvy enough to know that no man can have 3 rape allegations (even unproven!) against his name without him being a philanderer and a womanizer. The other contributor to the Steelers’ hatred is the fans’ envy; they have taken the Lombardi 6 times, so naturally fans of other teams envy them for their success.

Basketball can be an uncharacteristically violent game, when in the heat of the situation the players lose their tempers and lash out, not only at the opposing team players, but also at the spectators. In instances where the players willfully hurt spectators and fans, the punishment handed out to the players are harsh, and rightly so. In this basketball scoreboards article I have taken a look at the longest suspensions awarded to NBA players over the years and the circumstances encircling those suspensions.
