TROPHIES & TEARS

Five San Antonio Spurs NBA Championship Trophies displayed at the Frost Center. 

The one and only issue is will the Spurs organization place another trophy inside its already crowded display. 

Of course, the expectation is that Victor Wembanyama will win another NBA championship trophy for the organization.  that’s the plan.  However the best of plans have at times gone astray.  Here we demonstrate by visual and music presentation a few of those scenarios regarding player expectations being fulfilled and some that ended in disappointment. 

When winning basketball games, the most important issue is health.  You can not a championship injured beyond the requirement to perform at the highest level. 

Can Victor Wembanyama remain healthy enough to win another NBA championship trophy for the organization.   Nobody knows this with certainty.  What we do know, there is a very tall, skinny young man doing everything he can do in order to avoid injury.  Recently, it appears he has added muscle and weight.

Ones ability to perform in an usually spectacular manner has more often than not resulted in the lack of a championship. 

The scenarios regarding numerous players with great individual talent and high fan expectations that never made it to an NBA finals are numerous.   

It’s a team sport.  Five guys play at any given time during a game.  You can’t win a NBA Championship by yourself.  So, the issue is does San Antonio have enough raw talent to win a championship.  I don’t see that to be the case.  Naturally, Victor Wembanyama has the ability to carry this team a long way.  

Victor Wembanyama is a mere 22 years of age , as of Feb. 2026.  This is young  in professional basketball career  reference.  Nevertheless, everyone has a limited amount of chances to win an NBA Championship.  Time … …  stops for no man.

THE CRICKET CREW

I GOT MOVES, MAN!  WATCH MY MOVES …

… AS YOU SCROOL DOWN.  DON’T BLINK!

That was my Rubber Band move, I’ll leave you in the dust with the rubber band move …here is the

“ROLL IN” & ‘THE JELLO”

Where’s your Jello?

Cricker-cricket: Hey I GOT MOVES TOO, MAN!  WATCH!

MY NAME IS SLIM-SHADY.

Nah, I’m just joking .  Spoofying ya’all(s), man, just being a joker, … …  That ain’t my name.

My Name Is: Doctor Cricket-Dunkenstein!

They call me ‘Cricket Dunk’

or Doc, … … or sometimes they call me Doc Cricket-Stein.

Whatever suits your cup of tea, man. whatever you dig, fine with me.   Just don’t call me Slim-shady!

If you want to improve, I’m still that guy. So, listen UP!  Dig it?

I’m here to help you, man.  it’s FREE!

[Be VERY cautious when someone says to you, I’m from the government, I’m here to help you.]  See that’s free help advice already.

Hey cats, dig this, I’m one of the baddest (best) Cricket basketball players to ever walk the earth on four legs.  Now I’m  gonna tell you ‘What’s Really Goin On’, (like Marvin Gaye, you hear that),  What’s going on in your ‘Hoops Game‘, you dig that, man. 

I was first team, All-Planet Pluto 2010.  Top ALIEN defender too! … I was Neptune World Champion, in the NCBL in 2016, (Neptune Cricket Basketball League). 

I can DUNK from the foul line, yea man, the opposing team’s foul line, 79 feet away from the basket.  MJ never had nuttin’ (nothing) on me man, … …  I’m the real ‘AIR ‘ Doctor, Doctor Cricket-Dunkenstein.

You all got ‘game’, but hey cats,dig this, all you Spurs,  listen up, you gotta get better.  I am going to tell what I see,  the good and the bad, THAT’S ALL.

So, Tun-A IN, OR TUN-A OUT!  [(tune in, tune out, you can do bof (both)] 

TUNE OUT & BE A CHUMP! 

P.S.:  You can always base that game response on Curley, Larry & Mo from E.S.P.  Those guys (think they) know everything, and they do for TV basketball.  You can win an ‘Oscar Award’ following their advice.  But you do want an NBA trophy, right, not an Oscar trophy?

they’re below, Curley, Larry & Mo given hoops advice to the SPURS …  . 

The Crickets are in Paris having a good time listening to ‘FRENCH JAZZ’ music &… “avoir une conversation” … …  JOIN THEM!

I’m ‘The Big O’  – Oscar.  They call me ‘The Big O’ cuzz I’m all offense & no D.  I taught Victor some of those sweet offensive moves he does, like the ‘Shake & Bake’

 ‘Michael & The Cricket

This digital presentation is an accumulation of stories about basketball players, coaches, teams, games, practices, international travel,  grand pianos in hotel lobbies, and living life while playing the game for an education and for money.  Narrated by a former professional basketball player.  

This digital narrative explores the spiritual and historical genesis of basketball, framing the game’s 1891 invention by Dr. James Naismith as a providential event that ignited a global “it factor” among young athletes. The text blends early sports history reviewing  those who played pivotal roles in transforming basketball from a newly invented indoor activity into a professionalized, global sport with structured coaching and evolving rules.

Ultimately, the website serves as an educational and philosophical foundation dedicated to basketball phenoms, arguing that the sport’s enduring appeal lies in a unique, magnetic character trait found in those who compete at the highest levels.
