Derrick Rose's Shooting Struggles Overshadowed by Kobe Bryant's Bad Season & Retirement
On Wednesday night, former MVP Kobe Bryant played his final game in Philadelphia, and played awful. After thirteen 1st quarter points, Bryant ended up with 20 on 7-26 shooting, including 4-17 on 3-pointers. On Thursday night, former MVP Derrick Rose went 3-17 from the field, leaving him at 16%. So far this season, Bryant has dominated headlines, not only for his awful shooting performances, but also due to his impending retirement. Were it not for the once-in-a-generation talent's struggles, Rose's shooting woes would be national news. As it is, Rose's shooting struggles are being overlooked while Kobe stands in the spotlight. Patrick Kane Carries Blackhawks' Hope in a Season That Looked Lost
The Chicago Blackhawks seemed destined for a bad season this year. One year after a Stanley Cup victory, the Hawks traded away Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp. The team also had new players on nearly every line, and with star Patrick Kane mired in a scandal that made fans unsure of whether he would even play this season, it seemed unlikely he could come back and lead the team to the same success they had seen recently. While the team has been in the middle of the very tough Central Division, Kane is playing the best hockey of his career, seemingly carrying the team's hopes in this season, and could very well lead the Hawks to another deep playoff run.
