Toronto Raptors are 2k18-19 NBA Champions read all about it as its Bluedude Sportstalk FRONT LINE for June 14th, 2k19 goes Parade Route in the SIX dba Toronto, Ontario! #NBAFinals #NBAPlayoffs #Fight4Larry #Fight4Bill @Raptors #WeTheNorth #RaptorsNation #JurassicPark #TorontoLuvsDinosaurs #KLAW #Ujiri #Nurse #ShamPagNaPapi #MLSE

Yes the Country of Canada goes crazy as the Toronto raptors did the unthinkable as they beat the #StrengthInNumbers Golden State Warriors as "Dubs" and #DubNation was aiming for a Three-Peat. They not only beat G.S.W. but all three trips to Planet Oracle the Dinosaurs were victorious making it three of three as Toronto heads back to the "Six" for a Party that won't end until the NBA Tip-Off 2k19-20.

As for what transpired for both it was "Fight 4 Bill" dba NBA Finals M.V.P. Kawhi Leonard the "Klaw" doing what he did all playoff long dominating in stretches as "Playoff" Lowry dba Kyle Lowry saved his best for last playing off the charts in the Finals. Extra Fred VanVleet dba "Barber" from the Wheat Shockers an #ShockNation and the Pride of Rockford, Illinois was arguably the best "Extra" in the Finals as "Dubs" Andre "Iggy" Iguodala (Pride of Springfield, IL) would have received the same sentiments if G.S.W. hauled in a Three-Peat.

Huge "Ups" to Masai Ujiri dba NBA's only Nostradamus as he gambled this season and won big time. Masai took a hit when he traded then Nuggets Franchise Star Carmelo Anthony to Gotham City and the Nuggets won that trade after the smoke cleared.

The Raptors Ownership then went after Ujiri when he was in Denver as Masai took over for then Raptors Team President Bryan Colangelo and Ujiri stuck with that Duo of K-Low and DeMar DeRozan until last summer then he gambled again trading "D2" to The Alamo City for the "Klaw" on what many said was a one-year rental for Kawhi Leonard and now look...Parade Route and Toronto, Ontario you go grab some Tim Horton's and go crazy you hear me...tear it up well behave but get close to tearing it up!

As for the Accolades handed out for the 2k19 NBA Finals by the "Logo" and the Bluedude adding to that...

Raptors @ Warriors as the "Fight 4 Larry" w/Playbook dba The 2k19 NBA Finals moves to Game 4!...Can the Dinosaurs impose their will on the injury-riddled Warriors?...Can SC30 get some Game 4 help as its "Dubs" trying to avoid being the Titanic? #TORVsGSW #NBAFinals #NBAPlayoffs #Fight4Larry #RaptorsvsWarriors #WeTheNorth #DubNation #TheSix #StrengthInNumbers

The Golden State Warriors have been running on the hash tag #StrengthInNumbers for quite sometime as they have always appeared to have a winning edge in 82 and in "Winning Time" because they have an elite core and have numbers. Now "Dubs" is backed against the wall now and then injuries have taken its toll and then Toronto Raptors are not trying to hear none of that!

Its game #4 on Planet Oracle and @Money23Green dba Draymond Green of #SpartanDawgs said after game #3 they will win game #4 on Friday, win game #5 in the Six and come home and win the Title a Three-Peat as a celebration will ensue. Two years heck even last season I would have rolled with Draymond shotgun but not this season and this series. G.S.W. has their backs against the wall and must come out like a Honey Badger or the Raptors will take them to a special place.

PLAYBOOK

"Urgency" not "Desperation"....the Warriors will come out firing on all cylinders and should as they need to get the other #StrengthInNumbers on #WarriorsGround and that would be #DubNation off their fannies for all 48....

The Six Professional Basketball Club knows the "Calm before the Storm" and they need to weather the storm and don't forget D.G. and the "Klaw" (#GoSpursGo), Gasol (#GrindCity/Team Spain), Air Congo Ibaka (#ThunderUp/Regulators Report O.K.C.). and K-Low 7 (Raptors Playoff Blue) among others have loads of "Fight 4 Larry" Experience and their composure will be a key element and just stay close for 48 with their "Dawgs" on the pedal...

SC30 dba "Human Torch" got hot in Game #3 as he was suppose to but when the #1 gut goes L.A. Drew League and the others play like they are in your locals men's league and "L" is on its way and that's just what happened...who takes some of the Buckets off Curry's Plate? 

Dinosaur Starters combined for 106 of the Toronto's 123 points and the Warriors must cut-off at least three of the Six Starters water, electric and cable and/or Wi-Fi....its a must! 

"A Tribe called Jurassic Park Bench" they have the "Barber" dba Wichita State Shocker Star by way of Rockford, Illinois Auburn H.S. and Illinois All-Stater Fred VanVleet and he has been giving Raptors' Opponents the Fade and the Straight-Razor Line...can G.S.W. take away the Barber Shop's Hours? I have been watching this young man since 8th grade and just as smooth as they come never in a hurry! 

Klay Thompson doesn't have to get hot but just be consistent...

Cousins and Bogut must play better than 10 pts and ten boards in just over 41 minutes of hardwood...

Air Congo Ibaka returned back to Thunder Alley Ibaka and if he keeps up his Rim Protection-like play on that 2nd unit lookout Planet Oracle, #DubNation, and #StrengthInNumbers...that is nothing but trouble! 

The Penalty and Free Throws...huge advantage...who wins?

23'9" and beyond...the Money Ball is in play but how "BIG" in game #4?

"Scrums" 50/50 Spalding Orange with Uncle Mo dba Momentum included....who wins?

Winning the "End" of Frames is imperative for "Dubs" tonight can they deliver like Uber Eats or Grub Hub? 

Drake Drizzy dba SHAM-PAG-NA Papi will be singing "Started from the Bottom now Dinosaurs here" if the Dinosaurs can deliver in Game #4...

Game #4 is here with the Easy Money Sniper in Nike Tech Fleece, his Oakland Crib for sale and a Nike Tee that reads Chase Center next stop...its going all wrong for Dubs at the wrong time..."Stay True" Easy Buckets...Ok! 

  

    

"Monsters Inside the A-Gap" as the BLUEDUDE and Bluedude Sportstalk goes Top 5 Running Backs in the "SHIELD" and its never too early talking about the most devalued Position in the NFL!...Who has the best Mitts?...What about 2nd level speed who is the best RB?...Who is the most dynamic in both the Ground Attack and Vertical Passing Game? #MonstersInsideTheAGap #MonstersSeries #Top5RunningBacksInNFL

The one position in the "Shield" that is important come game time and the 16-game trek but when it comes to negotiating the Direct Deposit they teams don't see you or hear you. Last season one Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell wanted set the market for Running Backs and he had maybe two suitors for sure willing to pay him almost less than what his current team then the Steelers were willing to pay.

He gambled and lost big time as second-year Steelers RB James Connor not only filled 26 Scooby Doos but went to the Pro Bowl giving confirmation that RBs are a dime a dozen most people in the know think.

What about the New York Football Giants Rookie Saquon "California Redwood sized Legs" Barkley who ripped the league up his first season he is not worthy of the big pat day as G-Men QB Eli Manning is in between Met Life Blue and jumping into the Hudson?

Then there is the best dual threat RB on Sunday I think in Nawlins' pint-sized Alvin "The Chipmunk" Kamara. He is lightning in both the run game and passing game as the Former Tennessee Volunteers dba #PoweredByTheT is special as Mother's Honey-Baked Ham or that Skrimp Po-Boy Samich with Debris yes I said "Skrimps" and Debris and if you haven't been get to the Big Easy ASAP!

Now we have arrived at the Top 5 Running Backs in the "Shield" and there should be no debate...zero!

"Monsters Inside the A-Gap"

2k19 Top 5 Running Backs 

in

NFL

1. Saquon "California Redwood-Sized Thighs" Barkley 

#GiantsPride #WeAre

He will be leaned on even more this season as the G-Men have no #13 out wide and gave up some "Studs" on the defensive side of the Wilson Pigskin. His "Blades of Grass" after contact and his huge Thighs and that breakaway speed sets apart from most. Once #26 figures out the effect he has on the Vertical Passing Game Rookie QB Daniel Jones could get under center! 

2. Alvin "The Chipmunk" Kamara 

#GeauxSaints #PoweredByTheT

Ask Saints future NFL HOF QB Drew Brees what Kamara (pictured right) means to that Saints Offensive Attack as they let former Heisman Winner Mark Ingram hit the road? He is simply a match-up nightmare for Backers, Safeties and Nickle/Dime Corners. They use to line up both Kamara and Ingram together now with Ingram gone we will see how Kamara brings it with all "Peepers" on him as Saints #1 Wide out "Can't Guard Mike" #13 is a huge problem in that Vertical Passing game partly because of the Who Dat Running Attack!  

3. Ezekiel "Feed Zeke" Elliott 

#CowboysNation #DevelopedHere

Yes as "Feed Zeke" goes the Star goes and everyone in that building in the swank Ford Center in Frisco, Texas knows this. #21 is electric and another RB with straight line speed from his track days back in high school in Missouri. The Cowboys Screen Game using #21 is off the charts and will continue to be. Zeke is then #1 asset in the Cowboys Offense with Wide out Amari "Call me Mr. Cooper" Cooper with QB Dak Prescott in that mix as they try and form the new Triplets in Star Lore! 

4. Christian "Bloodline" McCaffrey 

#KeepPounding #TheFarm 

This dude has bulked up and you hope it doesn't take away from that deceptive speed and "Wiggle". Panthers QB Cam Newton might see some action in 2k19 after that Shoulder Surgery in the off-season as "Bloodline" Mac from The Farm dba Stanford University is an elite RB already. If the Panthers can find "D" can comeback to its 2k17 Form under Elite Backer Luke Kuechly lookout as Mac should be close to 2,000 blades of grass if he can stay out of the Training Room! 

5. Melvin "Flash" Gordon 

#FightForEachOther #AWholeBunchOfBadgers

He has come full circle for the L.A. Chargers and future NFL HOF QB Phillip Rivers. He has figured out the Blades of Grass after Contact which is key driving those legs and a serious Red Zone Threat. If he can stay healthy over 16 the Bolts should be right back into the thick of the "Fight 4 Lamar" Trophy and the 2k19 Super Bowl he is that good!

Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects in the 2k19 NBA Draft!...."Squeeze the Orange" after hours and hours of Video, covering all these Players throughout the 2k18-19 season and those NBA Combine Measurables the BLUEDUDE strikes with his Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects for 2k19! #NBADraft2k19 #NBAGreenRoom2k19 #SqueezeTheOrange #MeetingMrSilver

After the somewhat entertaining College Basketball Season for the 2k18-19, March Madness and the 2k19 NBA Combine in the Windy City we are almost in the NBA Green Room for the 2k19 NBA Draft. Many players have decided to either go back to school for at least 365 more days or remove their name from the 2k19 NBA Draft and hit the NCAA Transfer Portal which is being lit up like the ole pay phone booth from back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

After watching plenty of College Hoops this past season and video of many players the Bluedude strikes with his clear cut Top 10 Players for the 2k19 NBA Draft. Yes we have what use to be the Big Three in Duke's dynamic duo of R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson along with Murray State Racers Point God Ja Morant. Now after digging in the crates a few more names have entered the fray for being among the best of the best in this upcoming draft.

Let's get to the Top 10 Prospects for the 2k19 NBA Draft powered by that NBA Deadline in late May, "Do I stay or go back to school"!

"SQUEEZE the ORANGE" 

Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects

(Not in order)

Zion Willamson PF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood

You know the story and seen all the videos now he heads to CAA Agency over what many thought the two Agencies that would land Zion in Roc Nation Sports (Jay-Z) and Klutch Sports (Rich Paul/LeBron). Now that shoe deal gets even more interesting as Nike is not a slam dunk...

Ja Morant PG Murray State @RacersHoops #RacersNation

He is all of that as the "Logo" in Clippers Board Member Jerry West and Bulls NBA HOF Scottie Pippen have been on record in saying this dude is the best in the 2k19 NBA Draft and he will be a problem. His Pops Tee Morant played PG in High School with Sugar Ray Allen at Dalzell, S.C. Hillcrest H.S.. Morant looks to be locked in at the #2 Slot and joining Grind City which I think is a real good fit for him. 

R.J. Barrett SF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood

Smooth as they come and his game just translates to the next level with big numbers from day one. I have been watching this kid ever since he laced them up at Florida Prep Powerhouse Montverde Academy and his feel an BB IQ is off the charts. He should be a Knick but the Knicks never know what they are doing under Mr. James Dolan so pick #3 could be Barrett or Ronald Skolpinski...and I have no idea who that is but the Knicks think he will be great! 

Coby White Combo Guard North Carolina 

@UNC_Basketball #CarolinaSZN 

Watched this young man in High School a few times and at the 2k18 Big Mac Game in A.T.L. his size and sneaky athletic ability and his range on his shot separates him from most at the combo guard slot. He was UNC's best shot-maker under duress last season and with his versatility and size he has been promised he won't get past #7 and the Chicago Bulls but watch out for smoke screen at this time of year! 

Darius Garland PG Vanderbilt @VandyMBB 

#AnchorDown #HarvardOfTheSouth 

Yes super-smooth and a whole bunch of wiggle and craftiness to his game. Saw D.G. play at famed Brentwood Academy near Nashville, Tennessee (Also home to Jags CB Jalen Ramsey and former UNC Tar Heel Brendan Wright), the Nike EYBL Circuit (Bradley Beal Elite from St. Louis, MO) and he never disappointed. He reminds me at this stage of his game former Wake Forest Demon Deacon All-American Chris Paul (West Forsythe County, N.C.) and a tad bit bigger. I think he is a Laker at #4 or a Sun at #6...

Jarrett Culver SG Texas Tech @TexasTechMBB 

#WreckEm #4To1

His vertical at the NBA Combine immediately tells you his explosion and watching the tape his game doesn't tell you that because he is so silky smooth. Right out the gate after the first game I watched J.C. I saw a smaller Paul George Clone. He can defend, has length and sneaky Hops just like PG-13 from "Regulators Report O.K.C." at Bluedude Sportstalk dba OKC Thunder Hoops. Now he is climbing but be careful as the Knicks are looking at him extremely hard as Barrett at #3 is the obvious pick but things change. I honestly think pick #5 the Cleveland Cavaliers makes the most sense with 2k18 pick and PG Collin Sexton. 

DeAndre Hunter PF Virginia @UVAMensHoops #GoHoos

He made his name late in March Madness when the Cavs and #GoHoos needed him the most. His mid-range game sticks out the most which translates to pick and pop action in the Logo. At a listed 6-7 225 el bees a smaller David West (Former Xavier OH Musketeer from Raleigh, N.C.) as West made a living off the mid-range game and pick and pop action. Hunter could go anywhere from #4 through 10 depending on which team feels he is a fit as he is one of the few that could slide into the back half of the lottery!   

Cam Reddish WF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood

His game got lost behind Barrett and Williamson and at times was a bad fit for Duke. Now he is on the NBA Workout Trail that skill set that had Reddish a top 3 player in the Class of 2k18 in the Nation starts to reveal itself. His range, hops and sneaky handle has him inside the Top 10 and after seeing him last season at the 2k18 Big Mac Game in A.T.L. and on the Nike EYBL Circuit with Team Final (PA) 17U he fits with Trae Young and John Collins in A.T.L....and that pick would have the Peach dropping early in A.T.L.! 

Rui Hachimura PF Gonzaga @ZagsMBB #UnitedWeZag 

I love this young man's game, his effort, skill set and his physical attributes. Many have him late lottery I think he is better than and he will be a true PF as the NBA Game gets smaller and quicker at the Wing and Power Forward (Stretch 4). The only thing you worry about is his mid-range game as he appears to have one but really attacked the rim playing for the Zags. I think he falls inside that Top 12 I really do... 

Brandon Clarke PF Gonzaga @ZagsMBB #UnitedWeZag

Yes Hachimura's Zags Teammate and he can fly and get up and down the hardwood. He defends and rebounds with rage as he has an edge to him and like that the most. Too many players nowadays are too soft in an around the paint and this dude's game would have translated nicely back in the 90s. Will he land Top 10 probably not but is he a still outside of the Lottery you bet he is...
