Reggie Jackson coming up big since Russell Westbrook’s injury

Wudup doe! #DaRundown Sports comes for the second time week. Joining me on this episode is new friend of the show Brian Anderson (@MrAnderson035)from Rant Sports.  I brought Brian on because of Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City Thunder are doing go into the All-Star break. Durant has been putting up 40 like he’s on NBA2K14. (By the way I’m using the nick name Iceberg Slim because I’m agreeing with Jalen Rose). We dove in on other causes that are making the team roll so hard. Both of us stand in the corner it has something to do with Reggie Jackson and Scotty Brooks.

From there we talk a more NBA and Brian’s Super Bowl pick. I asked why he was so one sided on Carmelo’s recent performance doesn’t compare to Kevin Durant’s display. I agree with Brian’s opinion but I take the side the scoring bursts are closer than he thinks. For whatever reason he gets the notion the Miami Heat are not a candidate to repeat as NBA champion. Brian points to Dwayne Wade’s knee as the point of impact. The Rant Sports writer even goes as far as saying Portland Trail Blazers as being a better team. I can’t say that I totally understand where he’s coming from.

The session wraps up by the two of us going in on a variety topics in the NFL. Brian laces his take on the Richard Sherman fine which came late last week. With the way #Darundown does it, I had to question a few pieces that he wrote. Brian voices a crowd that assumes Robert Griffin is not on the trajectory become elite, my question was why so down on RG3?  Then jumping into the hype machine and talk Super Bowl. He has a list players that he feels that need to step up to the occasion. I divvy up my own spin on the task. Both of us agree that Bruce Irving will have to show out in the run game though. To wrap things up I corner the blogger’s Super Bowl pick.
