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. :)

Analyzing Shaun Ildefonso's decision to join the NU Bulldogs

Last night, in a surprising turn of events for many, Shaun Ildefonso announced on his Twitter account that he was leaving Ateneo to join the NU Bulldogs. You can find his entire message below: Ateneo will always be home. Thank you for the One Big Fight 💙 pic.twitter.com/uV2usLF7bx — Shaun Ildefonso (@ShaunIldefonso) May 29, 2017 The gist of his message is this: He's joining NU to join his dad, and he feels like with the Bulldogs, his athletic potential will be fully realized. The rest of his message has him thanking friends that he made during his stay in college, and the rest of the Ateneo community. For the case of this piece, only two facts are important: Shaun Ildefonso is going to NU, and a big reason for that happens to be his dad, Danny Ildefonso. So how do these factors affect not only Shaun, but other things as well? Let's talk about just that. How the decision affects Shaun It's important that we discuss the primary subject of this entire exercise...

Scouting the Opposition: John Lloyd Clemente, HS Basketball's most College-ready player

(Photo Credit: KC Cruz) Basic Information Name: John Lloyd Clemente Age: 18 School/Team: NU Bullpups Years of eligibility left: 0 (Graduating) Committed to: NU Bulldogs Height: 6'3" Position: Small Forward Projected Position: Shooting Guard/Small Forward Quick Hits Strengths: - Capable shooter from outside - Great at moving without the ball - Great size for a collegiate wing - Perfect example of a team player - High basketball IQ Weaknesses: - One on one defense needs work - Isn't able to completely use his athleticism - Needs to work on dribbling It's easy to brand a player as college-ready.

Or, it can be as simple as receiving a number of accolades. John Lloyd Clemente doesn't exactly fit the bill as any of those. He isn't physically superior by any m...
