Manu Ginobili Returns to Court?

During the 2012 NBA lockout all the superstars are feeling physical effects. The team that felt it more than anyone in the league is definitely the San Antonio Spurs. Their starting guard Manu Ginobili, who suffered a broken hand last year, had recently reinjured the same hand just 2 weeks ago.

It seems that things are not going to get better for this very old team. Yesterday on his official Twitter page he announced that he expects to be back on the court at least by the second week of March. With such a timely return, he brought hope to a large fan base in doubt of him returning to action.

Fortunately even without Ginobili San Antonio Spurs have found a way to win, but they also know that without him 100 percent ready they won’t have any chance to compete for the NBA title. My personal opinion about him brings the intensity needed in order to spark the offense and keep San Antonio competitive and NBA title bound. He has always been injury prone, however his dedication and determination with rehab has led him back on the court and that’s why I strongly believe that he will continue his heroic play. As international basketball analyst I am convinced that he will return not better than ever, but good enough to help his team fighting for the championship. His experience is as a mentor on and off the court provides the Spurs a competitive advantage over every NBA team.

Ginobili is probably one of the most famous international NBA stars in the world. He also provides the spark for diehard fans everywhere. He is a valuable asset for the NBA and he will be missed once he retires. Although, I know he has a few more great seasons left in him and can’t wait to see how he ends his career because it will be exciting, extravagant, and extremely entertaining.

Jeremy Lin Next Rising Superstar? Or Not?

The New York Knicks rising "superstar" Jeremy Lin doesn't stop to surprise basketball fans around the world with his ridiculous performances over the last 2 weeks putting all other NBA superstars away from all possible news or cover pages.

Even after seven consecutive victories, where he was leading his team without two main superstars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, the media is still stirring debate questioning is he the next franchise superstar of the New York Knicks, or just another one of a dozen talented rookies that Knicks drafted in the past few years and that did not last too long. Last week after watching Linsanity (his new nickname that fans gave him after his sensational performance against L.A. Lakers) playing, I got the impression that Harvard graduate already found his spot of the team leader on the court and always possible game-changer. In my opinion he showed to everyone his amazing potential, but I am still not sure if he is capable of performing like this every single night against all other NBA point guards who can't wait to swipe him away from the news and headlines from which he totally made all of them to quietly disappear. The only thing from my perspective about I am 100 percent sure is Jeremy's desire and hunger for a win, which allows me to believe that he is one step closer of becoming not just one of the best Knicks players in the last few very painful seasons, but the one of the best NBA players like Kobe Brayant, Dirk Nowitzki or Kevin Durant are today. On the other I think this basketball circus is already full of too many establish superstars so it's not realistic for some underrated kid from IV league who spent only two weeks of playing a professional basketball without any close recognition that other superstars managed to achieve over years building their carriers.

At the end it is not questionable Jeremy Lin is tremendous NBA prospect, but is he ready to take over this league? I guess the only way to find this out is to give him more time and after, the time will uncover his real face.
