Saturday Night (Sunday morning) the latest match of the Boston Celtics- Chicago Bulls playoff first round series will be played. In the most exiting and competitive series of the playoffs, 3 times in six matches the match went to extra time and all matches ended with max three point difference. Chicago won the last match by 128-127 with a superb block by Derrick Rose. The match was the most exciting one in series and went to extra time for 3 times with the last second scores. Ray Allen scored highest playoff points of his career with 51 points. The silenced performance of Paul Pierce cost Celtics to close the series.
The match will broadcast live in NTV Spor. I would recommend to all NBA fans to watch this match.

Two weeks ago 58th of All Star match has been played in Phoenix. The match won by West Conference with 146-119 score an it brought a very good match and lots of fun. I would like skip the fun part of the match and talk about the efforts of All Star players before the match in order to be selected.
Every year, All Star team line up is selected according to voting among fans. In previous years, we had seen foreign players to boost their votes by mobilizing their whole nation. Especially Yao Ming which has a 1.5 billion Chinese population as a support, is the luckiest guy in All Star selection. The American players on the other hand, are trying new methods to get fans’ votes. The most interesting aspect of this year voting campaign is increasing social media tools usage among NBA players.

Wilt Chamberlain
Last week our Mehmet Okur (a.k.a Memo) has reaced is career high in one game and scored 43 points against Indiana Pacers. I made a research about all NBA players who scored more than 40 points in a single game. The record belongs to Wilt Chamberlain who scored 100 points against New York Knicks in 1962. Among the active players, the record breaker Kobe Bryant hold the record with 81 points and becames second after the Wilt Chamberlain in all history of NBA. The number of players which scored more than 60 points in a one game is currently 21.
When we look at foreign players of NBA, Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki are on top of list with 55 and 53 points respectively. Mehmet Okur is currently ahead of Yao Ming and Peja Stojakovic. You can find the whole list of players and their career high scores here.
