Chris Matthews, widely known as “Lethal Shooter,” has become one of basketball’s most prominent NBA content creators and shooting coaches. He has trained NBA and WNBA stars such as Jaylen Brown, Grayson Allen, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Matthews played college basketball at Washington State and St. Bonaventure before playing professionally overseas in France, Iceland, and Canada, as well as a season in the D League (before it became the G League). He has successfully transformed his passion for shooting into a thriving career and global brand.

In an interview with HoopsHype, Matthews opened up about his journey, discussing how legendary coaches like Dick Bennett and Tony Bennett, as well as Craig Hodges, influenced him. He reflected on his transition into becoming a shooting coach and shared how his beliefs in patience and resilience were shaped by his own experiences as a basketball player.

Former Alabama QB Jalen Hurts partners with Brand Jordan

Jalen Hurts lands a massive brand deal with Jordan!

Former Alabama quarterback [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag] took the NFL by storm in 2022 as he finished runner-up in the MVP race to Patrick Mahomes and also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl where they lost against, you guessed it, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Heading into the 2023 season, Hurts is widely regarded as one of the five best signal callers in the league.

Hurts is most known for his rushing abilities as he carried the ball 165 times for 760 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. However, it was his growth in the passing game that turned heads. Hurts completed a remarkable 66.5% of his passes for 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns with only six interceptions. His remarkable growth last season resulted in a mega-contract worth $255 million over five years, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history for 10 days.

As if the contract wasn’t enough to set Hurts up for life, he signed a brand deal with Jordan. Hurts will now wear Jordan cleats for all games as well as various apparel, it is definitely one of the coolest deals any athlete can sign.

Jordan Brand x Eastside Golf introduce new collaboration

The new collaboration between Jordan and East Side Golf steers away from the traditional.

Eastside Golf is a Compton-based lifestyle and streetwear golf company. Eastside’s mission is to diversify golf and make it more inclusive to all ages and walks of life through style.

The new Eastside Golf x Jordan Brand collection will feature shoes, clothing items and accessories.

It is no secret that Jordan golf shoes are a hot commodity among all ages and this collaboration is set to bring the heat. The all-new Air Jordan 1 High Golf will be one of the main attractions of this drop.

The shoe resembles a street-style Jordan shoe but has a bottom with traction fit for the course. It does not appear as a traditional golf shoe, similar to how Eastside Golf steers away from the traditional golf mold. The two main differences from the original sneaker are the spikeless traction and Zoom Air technology in the heel for added impact protection.

Draymond Green cree que los Warriors de 2017 hubieran vencido a los Bulls de Micheal Jordan de 1998

Draymond Green, forward de los Golden State Warriors, es uno de los jugadores con menos pelos en la lengua en la historia de la NBA y el sábado en la noche, no se mordió la lengua para dar una declaración muy fuerte.

Green estaba viendo las NBA Finals de 1998 cuando tuiteó que sus Warriors de 2017 hubieran vencido a los Chicago Bulls de 1998.

“No puedo dejar de notar que nuestro equipo de 2017 hubiera vencido a estos Bulls por 20 puntos”, fue lo que tuiteó Green.

El cuatro veces campeón de la NBA cree que su equipo de campeonato de 2017, que tenía a Stephen Curry, a Kevin Durant y a Klay Thompson, es el mejor equipo en la historia de la NBA.

Los Bulls de 1998 Bulls eran liderados por Michael Jordan y Scottie Pippen, quienes completaron su dinastía con su sexto campeonato en ocho años.

Con el cambio de las reglas a través del tiempo, muchos fans se preguntan cómo hubiera sido un enfrentamiento de este calibre.

A Green, quien en 2017 se llevó a casa el premio del Jugador Defensivo del Año, le sobra confianza en su equipo.

Esta no es la primera vez que Green hace declaraciones tan fuertes. En un episodio de abril de su podcast “The Draymond Green Show”, se sentó con Curry y discutieron las temporadas en las que ganaron sus campeonatos.

“Yo creo que ese equipo [de 2017] tomó el lugar del mejor equipo de la historia”, fue lo que dijo Green. “Fuimos el mejor equipo de todos los tiempos, no me importa lo que digan. No puedo ver a nadie derrotando a ese equipo de 2017”.

Curry, dos veces ganador del MVP y el líder de todos los tiempos en tiros de tres puntos, estuvo de acuerdo con la opinión de Green.

Muchos antiguos atletas se ofendieron por los comentarios de Green y muchos han respondido.

Richard Jefferson, analista de ESPN y veterano de la NBA por 18 años, se esperó menos de una hora para comentar sobre el comentario viral de Green.

“Hermano, tu equipo de 2017 es el segundo mejor contra el que yo he jugado, pero vamos a calmarnos”, dijo Jefferson vía Twitter. “Además, me gusta la onda de este texto en una tarde de domingo: todos los programas de mañana van a estar diciendo lo que dijo Draymond”.

En 2016, Jefferson y los Cleveland Cavaliers derrotaron a Green y a los Warriors en siete partidos. Los Warriors empataron el récord de la NBA a 73 victorias y se convirtieron en el primer equipo en las NBA Finals en perder tras ir 3-1.

Kyle Hamilton is dead wrong about something

We’re not mad, Kyle, we’re just disappointed.

Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton is on the short list of the best defenders to ever dawn the iconic gold helmet.  His second interception of the 2021 opener at Florida State showed the national audience what Notre Dame observers had already known, and assuming he decides to enter the NFL draft early, he’ll undoubtedly have his name called really early in the first round.

Hamilton does it all as he’s the rare combination of speed, size, and instincts that make him an elite defender, but he does have one flaw that keeps showing itself time and time again and it has nothing to do with football.

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.  I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.  I know you’ve stated this opinion before but can this be the final time?

Yes, LeBron James is a better passer and rebounder than Michael Jordan ever was.  Not that James can’t take over a game scoring, he certainly has during the very big moments, but Jordan never completely vanished in a key postseason moment like James, either. What one accomplishes obviously goes into the debate but what about what one doesn’t do?

In June of 2011 James at his absolute peak of dominance.  He was completing his first year in Miami and after some difficulties during the regular season, still helped guide the Heat to the NBA Finals.  It was with the Heat leading the series 2-1 that James folded up like a cheap suit and scored just eight points in game four.  Miami lost complete control of the series, ultimately falling to a less talented Dallas Mavericks team in six games.

Eight points in an NBA Finals game for a man who likes to be called “The King”.  Let that sink in.

The tide of that series changed because of James and that’s not meant as a compliment to King James (insert eyeroll).  I don’t care what happened before or after, the 2011 NBA Finals will forever keep LeBron James from being the greatest basketball player of all-time.

James guiding Cleveland to a shocking 2016 NBA Finals upset over a 73-win Golden State team was incredible, but it doesn’t erase what happened five years earlier.  It should also be noted that Draymond Green’s idiocy that series should be thanked daily by Camp James.

As should Ray Allen for his heroics bailing out James and the Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals.

Sure Jordan’s teams lost series over the years and he missed game-winning shots or went cold down the stretch at times, but did he ever just bury himself in a corner not wanting to take on a challenge?

Kyle Hamilton was just 10 years old during the 2011 NBA Finals so he was certainly old enough to remember it, just like I was 11 years old during the 1997 NBA Finals when the other legend in this debate faced a Game Five road contest with the series tied 2-2, and did anything but fold up.

Sure, I’m a Chicagoland kid that grew up at the peak of the Bulls dynasty but even without viewing things from that lens it’s not a debate.  It’d be like anyone who says Aaron Rodgers is better than Tom Brady.  Sure, Rodgers may be more talented at many things, but when it actually comes down to winning time, who walks out with the huge victory time and time again?

Kyle Hamilton is a great football player, seems like a great young man that you’d be proud to have as a friend or family member, but he couldn’t be more wrong about who the greatest basketball player of all-time is.

I suppose we can consider a scratch on a Ferrari.

Texas Football Recruiting: Evaluating remaining 2022 wide receiver targets

Wide receiver recruiting is exciting to think about for Texas fans right now. Here are the remaining targets at the position.

Wide receiver recruiting is exciting to think about for Texas fans right now. Even from the outside perspective, it is easy to understand why.

Over the past two NFL drafts, Steve Sarkisian is expected to have been the offensive coordinator for four first-round draft picks plus the Heisman Trophy winner in DeVonta Smith. High school recruits will naturally follow that kind of reputation.

Four-star prospects Evan Stewart and Armani Winfield have already cemented their place in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class. The latter gave his commitment in the middle of Alabama‘s national championship performance, while Stewart’s pledge still stands as the biggest win in Sarkisian’s early days as a recruiter in Austin.

Texas is expected to take at least two more wide receivers before the 2022 class is all said and done. Even a fifth could be added if the fit is right. Sarkisian and Andre Coleman want to revitalize the position room, making it one of the best in the country. Hopefully, Casey Thompson/Hudson Card/Maalik Murphy will be thanking them for years to come.

Here is an in-depth look at the remaining targets at wide receiver for the 2022 class.

First, an in-state speedster

Everything you need to know about the rare pair of Jordan 1’s spotted at President Joe Biden’s inauguration

Somebody brought the heat to the inauguration.

Sneakers don’t really have much of anything to do with politics so, of course, Sneaker Twitter doesn’t normally get political.

But on Wednesday President Joe Biden’s inauguration was an exception. The inauguration had everyone on sneaker Twitter buzzing. Why? Because there was an incredibly rare pair of shoes spotting walking down the steps behind Senator Amy Klobuchar while she was speaking.

The shoes flashed across everyone’s screens at home and, almost immediately, everyone knew what they were looking at. It was definitely a pair of Jordan 1’s. And definitely a pair of DIOR 1’s at that. That’s high heat stuff.

Sneaker Twitter demanded to know who it was wearing these. Who among these folks was in the culture? Who was bringing the heat to the nation’s capitol? We needed to know.

Eventually, we found out. And we also figured out that this person wasn’t the only one with heat.

But before we get into that, let’s talk about these shoes first.
