Updates Along The Sidewalk: May 5, 2013

This won't be an incredibly long post, just like my Filipino Teenagers post. You can check that out right here. This post will basically contain the updates that I have made with the site.

First update: PBA/NBA Player Of The Week
If you noticed, there is a new part in the website that says "PBA Player Of The Week" in the right side of the blog. Not only will we have a PBA Player Of The Week, but we will also have a NBA Player Of The Week. I will be posting the player of the week for each league every Sunday (Although I posted PBA's POW yesterday because the PBA doesn't have anymore games for the week. The All Star Game does not count). I will be posting the criteria for the PBA/NBA POW sometime this week. :)

Second update: Shoutbox
I added a shoutbox for my blog. So why did I decide to add one? Well, in the shoutbox, you can go express your feelings about the blog. If you have any comments/suggestions/questions/violent reactions, please don't hesitate to say it in the shoutbox to the right of the blog. I only have two rules for the shoutbox, NO PROFANITIES, AND NO BASHING.

Third update: Overall look of the site
So, I decided to add some color to the website. There's already a background to the site, and I also added a picture in the Title Box above. Nothing too special.

So that's it for my little update! Just some minor updates, other than the PBA/NBA POW. :)

Troy Mallillin is a Blue Eagle. Now what?

(Photo Credit: Janine Torre, The GUIDON) Against the JRU Heavy Bombers, Troy Mallillin finally made his much awaited debut as a Blue Eagle. Just seeing him in uniform was already enough for fans of the Blue Eagles to go wild. Seeing a NCAA Juniors MVP wear an Ateneo jersey feels weird, for any fan. Seeing a former La Salle Greenhills player wear the blue and white? It's like an Ateneo High School boy wearing a La Salle jersey. Oh.. wait... Obviously, any Atenean is brimming with excitement right now after managing to secure (or is it really secure?) the services of the former NCAA Juniors MVP. But what else are the other implications of Troy Mallillin taking his talents to Katipunan? Let's break it down: In the short term Right now, don't expect Troy to get a lot of minutes. As mentioned before , Ateneo is filled with a number of forwards in Mike Nieto, Vince Tolentino and Raffy Verano. Shaun Ildefonso is no longer in that fray of forwards after taking his talen...

Scouting the Opposition: Is Jonas Tibayan ready for the college game?

(Photo Credit: FIBA) Basic Information Name: Jonas Tibayan Age: 18 School/Team: CKSC Blue Dragons Years of eligibility left: 0 (Graduating) Committed to: NU Bulldogs Height: 6'3" Position: Power Forward Projected Position: Combo Forward Quick Hits Strengths: - Strong body - High Basketball IQ - Very coachable - Is a great team player Weaknesses: - Limited upside - Still relatively raw - No clear position yet in collegiate basketball Only a select few people are given the opportunity to play for the National Youth Team. It's a honor anyone would grab in an instant. To be named a Batang Gilas standout is something special. But to be named a Gilas Cadet member at the tender age of 17? It's something else. At first glance, it means that you're a player who's more than ready to make it to the big leagues. You're not just expected to do well in the collegiate level. Some expect you to go ahead and dominate in an instant. Jonas Tibayan...

Dipsy-doos, blocked shots and a ton of protein shakes: On Gian Mamuyac and his growth

(Photo Credit: Leo Lopez, Fabilioh) Ten players stood inside the Blue Eagle Gym on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but fans in attendance were eagerly waiting for the explosion of one man. Jolo Mendoza was being hyped up as the next Kiefer Ravena. In a second-round match-up versus a young Adamson Baby Falcons team, the table was set for an eruption by the Season 77 Finals MVP. The wait was excruciating. Jolo was seemingly picking his spots, choosing to pass the ball instead of pulling up unconsciously. The fans were starting to get bored. They wanted the scoring barrage they paid a ticket for. All of a sudden, a tall, lanky kid with frizzy hair galloped coast to coast, flew up high and attempted a dipsy-doo lay-up with ease. The referee blew his whistle to signal a foul. Fans jumped up, with their faces saying "OH SHIT WHO IS THAT GUY?", while the coaching staff of the Blue Eaglets' face screamed, " Bakit di mo na lang diniretso Mamu!!!!" We all know G...
