5. A ragtag team of misfits.

There are two sorts of heroes in your average sports movie. You need to start your hero or heroes at a low point before they can find their way to the top. Enter? The ragtag team of misfits. They usually come with a diverse ethnic base and a random fat kid. An embittered coach down on his luck will find himself coaching this team.

There will be an initial struggle. And then two things will happen.

4. Enter the Ringer
3. Montage!

You need to find yourself a Kelly Leak to make your team better. No matter how badly the team is doing? One good player will turn this around.

And it is like South Park Said. Anything that we want to know. From just a beginner to a pro you want a montage. And as we fade out from the montage?

2. The Main Event

The District Five Championships, a playoff game for the AL East, the Super Bowl. It all comes down to this. One game to bind them. One game to rule them all. They will find out that cheaters never prosper, second place is not the first loser, and…

1. Who needs overtime?

There will come a furious rally, and then? It will always, always, always, always come down to the last play of game. And you will never have it come down to a point where there could be a tie. Either you win? Or you lose. And two things will happen. Either the underdogs beat the generic opposing supervillain? Or Mighty Casey Strikes Out?

Learned. You’re welcome.

5. The Health of Gilbert Arenas

I mean he definitely slipped in my fantasy basketball draft, and the guy looks like he is putting the Wizards back on the map in the Eastern Conference. Although he lost this game against the Heat, he clearly showed he is healthy again, going toe-to-toe with Wade.

4. Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson’s Ability to Carry Inside the NBA

Everyone already knows how great Charles is, but there is no way not to underrate him. Even without Kenny last night, he and Ernie were hilarious as always.

3. Allen Iverson’s Ego

This video includes ALL his highlights from that game. Nothing spectacular. I cannot believe he is whining about minutes and how came to Memphis to win a championship. No one goes to Memphis to win a championship.

2. Trevor Ariza

I know that is a highlight reel from his time with the Lakers, but this kid is tearing it up in Houston right now. So far it looks like the Rockets won big signing this kid.

1. Dirk’s Ability to Make The Dallas Mavericks a Contender

No one even thought they would really be in the hunt and even now, playing out of their minds, people are not giving them their due. Dirk is a beast and this insane 4th quarter he had the other night proves it.

Monday through Friday there will be an awesome post by one of our new Featured Writers. Check them out. These are first rate writers, and they will improve NESW Sports 10 fold. I will try my hardest to post as much as the past, but with the network rolling out continuously it will be hard.

Please continue to read the site every day and see what the staff and I bring to the table. This is all pretty exciting to me. Thanks so much for reading and supporting the site!

How is it different than NESW Sports? 1st it will be dedicated completely to basketball. It already has a team of awesome writers. NESW sports is just little ole me. Stacheketball will start off with the 100 days of NBA mustaches, and that will form The NBA Mustache Hall of Fame.

This is only day 2 of the blog so please go there and subscribe. This is some of what you missed.

• Shaq gets spanked
• LeBron needs some human padding
• Jarret Jack is unconscious with a no look
• Mike D’Antoni meets Mr Pringles
• Iggy’s got tricks
• Psycho T needs acting lessons

I am very excited about the possibilities here. Stacheketball is also the first new blog that will be a part of my new blog network NESW Blogs. A new blog will be rolled out every other week, and we will end up with 15-20 blogs that are 50% sports and 50% entertainment. Once the network is complete, then the synergy begins, and we will have strength in numbers. That is the plan anyways.

If you are interested in writing for the network, please write NESWblogs-at-gmail.com

This is what happens the whole time. They ask themselves silly water cooler questions and do this. This is not an unfair “gotcha media” clip. This is what the whole show consists of. I know I am not a Peabody award winner, but I think ESPN could find something better than this.
