Ladies and Gentlemen The Number 1 The Real King Michael Jordan 23 HD

There are some incredible all-time one-on-one NBA players: Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and even James, but there is no one like Jordan. One thing all NBA fans often obsess about- who the best NBA player of all time? More importantly, if you're a true NBA junkie, then you've at least thought about the one-on-one matchups with some of the all-time greats, including a 1971 Julius Ervin versus a 1993 Jordan or even a Bryant versus a James. And hey, why not, it's one of the reasons why the NBA is so much fun. Let's take a 1993 Jordan and match him up with a 2013 James in a one-on-one game. The first player who reaches 11 points wins. There's no shot clock and scoring is based on one's and two's. All the team statistics, the championships, the MVP awards and the impressive resumes are irrelevant. Some NBA fans will often state that one-on-on matchups don't matter and that it's all about statistics or championships. Think of it this way: if one-on-one matchups didn't matter, than coaches wouldn't spend hours designing plays for their best player, to have the ball with ten seconds remaining and the game on the line. There is a very good chance that when James retires, he'll be one of the best statistical performers of all time, as well as one of the top five best players in NBA history. But as far as one-on-one goes, his skills don't touch Jordan's. Jordan is a better shooter, from deep or midrange. When Jordon isolates a defender and has open floor space, he has an uncanny ability to control the basketball better than anyone, and when guarded has the best footwork of any perimeter player ever. James does have the clear edge in physical features, including his height and weight. James is 6-foot-8, 240 pounds. Jordan is 6-foot-6, 195 pounds. Consider last season when, according to ESPN's Grantland, no player scored more points closer to the basket than James and no player converted a higher percentage of shots near the basket. That's why it's important when Jordan is defending James that he gives him a light cushion, luring him into a jump shot and preventing James from using his size in the post. NBA personnel often think of Jordan's unique ability to score, but he was also a phenomenal defensive player. In the '80s and '90s defense was a major emphasis in the NBA. Jordan often utilized the “hands to the face” approach, while playing lock-down defense, similar to Seattle Supersonics legend Gary Payton. For his career, Jordan made All-Defensive team nine times. James will likely try to post up or drive to the hoop against Jordan, but Jordan will force James to dribble baseline, cutting him off, and forcing James into a bad shot. Perhaps Jordan would beat James in one-on-one simply because of his jump shot. He has a better overall offensive rating and field goal percentage. No one even comes close to his natural ability of scoring and that's one of the reasons why from 1986-1993 he averaged more than 30 points per game, according to ESPN. We're talking about a player who went on an eleven game stretch averaging 10 triple-doubles. Jordan's footwork is simply amazing. His quickness is unprecedented and he has the strength to drive to the hoop and finish over James. Jordan is constantly attacking the basket, dribbling through defenders, and still scoring in the paint. This allows Jordan then to spread the floor and hit 15-foot jump shots. While James has a wider wingspan and a two-inch height advantage, there's no one in the NBA that has come close to Jordan's fade away jump shots. If James played tight defense on Jordan, that mistake could be the difference maker in the one-on-one contest. There's not an athlete in any other sport more competitive than Jordan. His hunger to win is unmatched. In an interview with ESPN, Jordan said he constantly studies James. “When Lebron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper,” said Jordan.”So If I have to guard him, I'm (going to) push him left, so nine times out of ten, he's going to shoot a jump shot.” What's overshadowed in Jordan's athleticism is his mental approach to the game. More than anything, Jordan was always a student of the game first. He studied the game and his opponents frequently, dissecting their strengths and weaknesses. In a game of one-on-one, James wouldn't even come close to beating Jordan. Sorry James, but not even the King can beat Air Jordan. Final score: Jordan 11, James 9.

Best Fifa Awards and Ballon D'oro2017: Cristiano Ronaldo Wins Men's Player of Year Full HD

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has beaten Lionel Messi and Neymar to win The Best FIFA Men's Player award for the second year running. Ronaldo, who won the inaugural prize last year, was presented the award at The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in London on Monday. The Portugal captain had been favourite to claim the accolade after a year that saw him help Madrid to a third Champions League crown in four seasons and a first La Liga title in five years, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup. Ronaldo scored twice as Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 in the Champions League final, while also finishing top scorer in the competition with 12 goals. The award, which covers the period of Nov. 20, 2016, to July 2, 2017, is voted for by national team coaches, captains, selected media and fans. "Thank you a lot to the guys for voting for me," Ronaldo said in accepting the award. "[I want] to give a mention to Leo and Neymar to be here, Real Madrid supporters, my teammates, my coach, my president --they support me all the year so I have to say thank you to them. "We are in England for the first time and I win consecutive awards. This is a great moment for me." Ronaldo, as well as Barcelona star Messi and Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar, were named on an initial 24-man list of nominees for the award in August before the trio were included in the final shortlist last month. The Madrid man will hope to follow up this success by winning the 2017 Ballon d'Or, which would see him draw level with Messi in having won the prize five times. 2003 to pressent FlagPortugal (Senior National Team) 2001 to 2002 Portugal FlagPortugal U-17 2002 to 2003 Portugal FlagPortugal U-20 2003 Portugal FlagPortugal U-21 2004 Portugal FlagPortugal U-23 In what teams did Cristiano Ronaldo play?: 2002 to 2003 Sporting CP Logo Sporting CP (Portugal) 31 Games 5 Goals 2003 to 2009 Manchester United Logo Manchester United (England) 292 Games 118 Goals 2009 to pressent Real Madrid CF Logo Real Madrid CF (Spain) 394 Games 406 Goals Stats updated on 06/30/2017 Titles Won: National Team Tournaments: 2 - UEFA European Football Championship: (1) 2016 - Toulon Hopefuls Tournament: (1) 2003 International Tournaments: 9 - Club World Championship: (3) 2008, 2014, 2016 - UEFA Champions League: (4) 2008, 2014, 2016, 2017 - European Super Cup: (2) 2014, 2017 National Tournaments and Cups: 16 Spain: - Spanish League (La Liga): (2) 2012, 2017 - Copa del Rey: (2) 2011, 2014 - Spanish Super Cup: (2) 2012, 2017 England: - English League (FA Premier League): (3) 2007, 2008, 2009 - FA Cup: (1) 2004 - English Super Cup (Community Shield): (1) 2007 - English League Cup (Football League Cup): (2) 2006, 2009 Portugal: - Portuguese League (Superliga): (1) 2002 - Portuguese Cup (Taça de Portugal): (1) 2002 - Portuguese Super Cup (Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira): (1) 2002

The Coaching Nelson Isley Said... Hortência Was the Best Player by Some Distance he Has Ever Seen.

The GOAT http://www.fiba.basketball/womensbasketballworldcup/2018/news/hall-of-famer-hortencia-crowned-fibawwc-goat-in-fan-vote TENERIFE (FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2018) - Fans have chosen Hortência the legend as the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Greatest of All Time, aka GOAT. Inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame during 2007 (see main image), she was the only member among the star-laden list of contenders, to have this honor on her resume. Marcari was the runaway winner in the poll as she collected more than 85% of the votes from fans, with Australia legend Lauren Jackson the next highest in the voting. Helping her country to the top step of the podium in 1994 was the standout accomplishment, with Marcari pouring in a stellar 27.6 points per game – including 32 points in the famous 100-107 win against USA to book a ticket to the Finals. She Scored 124 points in a game and in Brazil Vs Cuba-Hortência Scored 54 points. Brazilian Star Sizzles On the Court-By WILLIAM C. RHODEN, Special to the New York Times Like other famous Brazilian athletes -- Pele in soccer, Oscar in basketball -- both are known by one name: Hortencia and Magic Paula, something like Magic and Michael both trying to lead a United States men's basketball team. Hortência Maria de Fátima Marcari born September 23, 1959 INDIANAPOLIS, Except for a blue ribbon tied just under the right knee, there is nothing about her appearance that suggests athletic majesty. She is not that tall, a stringy 5 feet 8 inches, her hands are not exceptionally large and her physique isn't particularly imposing. In fact, most people would look at her and never guess she is a national sports heroine. Bring up basketball, however, or tell her that the United States is favored to win the women's competition at the Pan American Games, and it turns around. The eyes narrow, the face tightens, the smile disappears. For the last 11 years, Hortencia Marcari has delighted audiences and punctured defenses with pinpoint shooting and acrobatic drives to the basket. But for all of the manuevers, the thing that makes Hortencia - like many Brazilian athletes, she uses only a single name - such a ferocious competitor is her approach to the game. She has adopted what United States players refer to as a ''playground head'' - aggression as well as flair. 'I Love the Challenge' ''The thing I love most about basketball is the competition,'' she said. As she talks her open hand becomes a fist. She leans forward and makes her point with animated body movements, as if she were moving through a series of picks for an open jump shot. ''I love the challenge,'' she said. ''The individual against the individual.'' Against Peru in Brazil's opening-round game today, the 27-year-old guard, playing on a sore left ankle, scored 37 points as Brazil won, 117-48. Hortencia seized control of the game in the opening minutes. Disgusted after letting a pass slip through her hands, she grabbed the loose ball and angrily flipped it back to where she thought the official was standing. The ball smacked a Peruvian player in the face and floored her. Hortencia. expressionless, looked down, extended a hand, shrugged and headed down the court. She would be involved in three violent collisions, each time springing up and going about the business of playing basketball. ''She's so exciting to watch,'' said Teresa Edwards, the explosive point guard on the United States team. Edwards, a 5-11 senior at Georgia, recalled trying to guard Hortencia in 1983. ''I didn't stop her - the entire team had to stop her,'' Edwards said. ''We designed a crazy defense for her -like three people playing zone, two people playing her. She's quick and she's always moving. And she's a tremendous shooter. She can shoot the daylights out of the ball.'' 120 Points in One Game Last month, in the Sao Paulo city championship, Hortencia scored 120 points in her team's 251-27 victory. A more realistic measure of her talent came last June in a game against Tennessee, the defending women's National Collegiate Athletic Association champion. Hortencia made 10 of 14 shots from the field and scored 34 points as Brazil routed the Lady Vols, 105-68. ''She's just so great without the ball, she really reminds me of Larry Bird,'' said Pat Summitt, the Tennessee head coach. ''It's what she does on offense without the ball that makes the difference.'' The meeting between Brazil and the United States here Saturday will be a much stiffer test and one of the classic matches of the Pan Am games.

Paula and Hortencia Destroy the USA basketball team

In her farewell Against the American basketball team, whit 38-year-old Magic Paula socored 36 points and 6 assists and in the last play her scored 38 points and 8 assists in São Paulo-Brazil It's easy to ignite discussion in a bar or chat room on who's the greatest male basketball player of all time. M.J. or Kareem? Wilt or Russell? What about LeBron? What about the female players? Like other famous Brazilian athletes -- Pele in soccer, Oscar in basketball -- both are known by one name: Hortencia and Paula, something like Magic and Michael both trying to lead a United States men's basketball team. Hortencia and Paula are so powerful and popular ,one or the other has reached the finals in 10 of the past 11 years. Shots Go In, Flag Goes Up Hortência and Magic Paula was invited to play in the WNBA but not accepted! When the inventive Brazilian guards are out on the fast break, sorry, it will have to be Magic Paula over to Hortencia Maria de Fatima Marcari Oliva.'' Not Magic Paula to Hortencia, which is how they cop out on Brazilian TV. Hortencia, who led the Brazilian victory over the United States in the world championship tournament two years ago with 32 points, scored and Magic Paula 31 points Despite their combined national team tenure of nearly four decades, plus abundant fame and wealth from playing professionally, Hortencia and Paula had not won an Olympic medal until yesterday. So Paula broke down and sobbed after scoring 24 points, while Hortencia reached into the stands for her 6-month-old son, Joao Victor, cradling him through interviews. ''After the game was over,'' Paula explained, ''I was overcome with emotion because at 34, and with Hortencia 37 already . . .'' In the semifinal, the feared duel with the Americans, who had in the cast stars like Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley and Teresa Edwards. With great performances of Hortencia, with 32 points, Paula 30 points and Janeth, 22, Brazil came close to getting behind the scoreboard, but cut the gap and drew a heroic victory from 110 to 107. In the decision against China, Brazil, overwhelmed by the great victory over the USA, did not take notice of the opponents who defeated them in the previous phase, beating the opponents 96-87.   After converting 27 points into the decision, Hortência was voted the best player in the competition held in Australia.
