BROOO-KLYN! Play offs round two for the Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have done it again! That's right, the Nets have advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. They defeated the Toronto Raptors today in game 7. The saying goes that the Truth will set you free, here it was literal. Paul Pierce AKA the Truth blocked the last show which gave the Nets the win.

Reports went out saying Kyle Lowry was sitting by his locker in full gear for an hour after the game.

First Lady's-Let's Move in the NBA

NBA stars know how to eat healthy thanks to
the first lady's "Let's Move!" 

We all know that the winner of the NBA championship gets the privilege of hanging out in the White House for a day. It seems that the Miami Heat are  regular visitors and the Presidential family knows the team well already. Being they won back to back championships, the Heat and First Lady, Michelle Obama have decided to make a commercial to help support the first lady's Let's Move initiative. The initiative personally effected me and caused me to lose 30 pounds.

The white has issued the below statement ( copied from the Let's Move website):
Last week, the Miami Heat visited the White House to celebrate their 2013 Championship win. Rumor had it, during their visit, they teamed up with the First Lady in support of Let’s Move! to highlight the importance of eating healthy and drinking water to perform like a champion.

DAVID ROBINSON!-confirmed!!

NBA Information and Technology executive David Robinson,has agreed to be my Mentor! I have been looking for a mentor for a while and I can honestly say I found the perfect person to take that position.

David has done so much for me the short time I have known him. David has given me tremendous guidance as a journalist, as a professional, and as a person. He is great ethics which allowed us to meet. I didn't meet him any where special. I walked up to him at a Nets game and I saw someone who I will look up to.

He has taken me to meet: The Nets,Spurs (including Tim Duncan),Magic and the 76ers (Michael Carter Williams). My career in Basketball blogging was taken to a whole nother level.

David has not only been a class act NBA rep but has also been someone down to earth and someone you can talk to. He is an AMAZING Basketball player and would have seen some NBA playing time if it wasn't for an injury. Although he couldn't wind up playing in the NBA he took the next best thing by working for the NBA.

To inaugurate my new mentors achievements we will be hanging a banner on universalinterview.com. I know it's not like hanging a Jersey but it's the best I can offer at this time.

I am looking forward to talking to David and working with him in the future!

Sincerely,

Michael!

New project

Hello,

Universal Interview has released its newest project!

I am starting a new program called "A day in the life of.."

This new segment will be more then an interview but will show the jobs of executives,actors and athletes of all different types of companies. I started this because I don't think executives and actors efforts are appreciated enough. People always try to talk as if they can handle it but in actuality they can't!  It's unreasonable for me to aspire to be D-Will or Brett Yormark but trying to be someone like an executive is reasonable with the right effort.

The project will be launched with someone who I consider my mentor,David Robinson!

I have reached to people I have been in contact with such as Marc Cuban and Kki.

Is there more to the NBA then the teams themselves?

Is there more to the NBA then the teams themselves? 

I am happy to report that the answer is YES! The NBA consists of people of the highest caliber and people who like to be a class act. I personally have met three major NBA executives (David Robinson, Kiki Vandeweghe and Rod Thorn). I have stayed in touch with Kiki and David. The NBA is represented by people who are dignified and all have a story. I would like to fill you in on a short bio of the three executives I have met:

Rod Thorn: He drafted Michael Jordan when he was GM of the Bulls and he is responsible for the best trade in Nets history,trading for Jason Kidd. Besides for Jason's exceptional style on and off the court he is also the current Nets head coach.

Kiki: Kiki is an amazing person. He is a former player for the Trail Blazers and was also head coach for the Nets. He was drafted in the first round and had an amazing career as a GM,coach and player. He is now the NBA VP of Basketball operations.

R to L- Mirza Teletovic,Issac,me

David Robinson: David is someone who is friendly and caring. I have had a lot of contact with him over the last month and everything he does is because he cares. He personally has helped my friend Issac and I numerous times. He has recently become one of my inspirations and mentors. He has taught me to have confidence in what I do. 

He was telling me stories about himself and how he was supposed to be a player. Unfortunately due to an injury he is doing the second best thing by being an executive in the NBA. 

I am glad I am able to say I have met and know Mr. Robinson

Nets big WIN against Dallas

The Nets defeat Dallas to a 107-106 win. It was close but none the less a win. The game was exhilarating and again Coach Kidd was tieless. Is it really he tie? What ever it is it's working! The Brooklyn boys are RED HOT! I hope we can keep it up,maybe even win a championship?

Teletovic-33 had a career high of 34 points. WOW! That's awesome! I think we are seeing a new team. Let's go BROOKLYN!
Tune in Monday at 6:30 as the Nets take on Boston!

Nick Young Interview

Nick Young INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS! Universal Interview (By Nick Young) 1.     How does Kobe returning from his injury going to help your team? "I think it's going to help us out a lot. He's one of the best players to play this game so it can't help but better us out there on the court. 2.     What have you learned most about Kobe, with your experience on the same team?"The work ethic is for real. How intense he plays, the way he carries himself, the professionalism. Just Kobe, that aura."

Nets tonight

Hello Sports fans! Hope your holidays were nice!  Tonights Nets game will be a real game as the Nets may actually win. I lost hope for them after Brook Lopez got injured but they can still work on themselves for next season

Three new sports interviews will be out  soon!

Tonights prediction WIN!

Nets Brutally defeated by the Bulls

WOW! The Nets failed to execute against the Bulls. Why? The score wasn't even in the 100s for either team. It's really an issue. Jason Kidd is still trying to find out himself. My predictions this season is 1-3 which is an old time low. I expected much more from a starting lineup of 35+ all star appearances.

This is some comments on yesterdays game.

“It’s frustrating,” shooting guard Joe Johnson said about the booing, the loudest and nastiest heard at Barclays Center this season. “But we deserve it.”

“I’m surprised at this season, how it’s played out altogether,” point guard Deron Williams said. “It’s like a nightmare.”

“At the end of the day, the coach can only hold you responsible for energy and effort,” Kidd said. “If you’re not giving it, I have to take you out. If you’re missing shots, that’s just part of the game. But if you’re not giving energy or effort, I’ve got to take you out.”

Tomorrows Nets game and Brook Lopez

Hello Sports fans!

Tomorrows game will be EPIC! Unfortunately I will not be able to be in attendance but I will be watching the game. Tomorrow night the Nets will face the Pacers. The Pacers are currently the best team in the NBA. I am really excited to see Jason Kidd lead his team to victory!

Brook Lopez is currently injured and won't be in tomorrows game.  The Nets record without Lopez is 1-4. 

Good Luck Nets!

Tomorrow nights prediction: WIN!

Laker Interview: Xavier Henry

Michael Here! I had the opportunity, thanks to the Lakers, to interview Xavier Henry! I am very excited to post it here on this blog!

Universal Interview (By Xavier Henry)
1.     How does Kobe returning from his injury going to help your team?
"He's Kobe Bryant. How's it [his return] not going to help us? He'll help us in every facet of the game. He'll bring a lot of leadership with him."

2.     What have you learned most about Kobe, with your experience on the same team?
"He's really smart. He goes at his own pace and he really owns the game. He communicates with everybody on his teams and he gets everything done."

Hope you enjoy this interview.

Michael Signing off!
