Some of the greatest championship teams in the history of the league had a point guard that allowed them to perform well on both ends of the floor. The '50s and '60s Boston Celtics had the services of Bob Cousy, who is regarded as the pioneer at the point guard position because of his excellent ball-handling skills and passing ability. The '60s and early '70s era of the Los Angeles Lakers thrived under the hot shooting and playmaking of Jerry West, who was so good that he was used as the model for the NBA's logo. The 1971 championship team of the Milwaukee Bucks had Oscar Robertson, who was putting up triple-doubles at a rapid pace a few years back when he was still in his prime handling the point and passing the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And who could ever disregard Magic Johnson, the man responsible for the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty of the '80s and the playmaker regarded as the best to play at his position? The '90s and 2000s also saw their share of terrific point guards who may not have won titles because of the dominance of teams like the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls, Shaq, and the Big Three San Antonio Spurs that revolved around Tim Duncan. Such all-time great point guards are Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash. Did you like this short excerpt? Then scroll up and buy a copy of this Damian Lillard biography today.

Download or read book Love Like Jesus How Jesus Loved People and how you can love like Jesus written by Kurt Bennett and published by Enoch Media. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.

Book excerpt: The angelic race was said to have been created by the goddess they worshipped, and vowed to protect the humans living in Asteom from the demons and their potential to destroy the civilized world. Once their task was fulfilled, the angels created a city in the sky named Yeluthia where they dwelled until their kind disappeared from the surface. For decades, the humans were left to fend for themselves against demonic creatures threatening the peace, wondering if the angels would return or if they had become something of a legend. The Mage Service Law has passed and Coura, her mentor Byron, and the oldest trainees are forced make the move to the capital to join the kingdom's army. Although there are some familiar faces, Coura's unnatural magic stirs distrust among her peers as they all adjust to their new lives. What sense of peace she can establish is soon threatened by the arrival of an ambassador from the mysterious "City of Angels" and news of demonic creatures roaming the country. In the middle of the transition is the presence of the demon Soirée, who lingers in Coura's mind to tempt her frightening and dangerous potential. Now that her secret has been revealed, Coura must face the past, accept what she has become, and defy those who oppose her existence in order to stay alive.
