Remember the 2014 NBA finals, when Miami Heat lost to the San Antonio Spurs? Then this man, Ray Allen, should be no stranger to you. Despite him being out of the NBA court for two years, he seems to be eyeing the two most recent NBA Champions, Golden State Warriors and Cavaliers.

The Golden State Warriors have been keen to add the 10-time NBA All-Star to their roster for the past two years. The Warriors have recently landed the former MVP Kevin Durant to go along with their All-NBA players Stephen Curry. They have also signed Draymond Greens and Klay Thompson in a bid to further fortify their roster.  Zaza Pachulia and David West, free agents, center and forward respectively, have also been signed in; however, the warriors seem not to have had enough as they are interested to sign in Ray Allen.

Important to note is the fact that despite of Allen being off the court for the last two seasons, he has not filed retirement papers with the league office, neither has he commented publicly of his desire to continue playing, he confirmed that he was far from retiring, he said this last August to Dom Amore of the Hartford Courant, further confirming that in case something came to the table he would take a keen look at it.

Regardless of him being out of the season for the last two years, he has maintained a remarkable shape throughout and taking into consideration his nutrition. He even opened an organic fast-food eatery last February. Thus if the teams confirm on his fitness and form then we would definitely see him on the NBA court once again.

Steve Kerr, who is the Golden State Warrior and whose team won the NBA- record of 73 games, has been awarded the Red Auerbach Trophy as the 2015-16 NBA coach of the Year. This was announced not so long ago. He is the second recipient of the award after Don Nelson won it in the 1991-92 seasons. Kerr who is in his second season as the Golden State head coach got 64 first- place votes and 381 total points from 130 sportswriters and broadcasters who were part of the panel and had come from the United States and Canada. Terry Stotts of Portland Trail Blazers’ who took his team to the playoffs with other four new beginners came second with 37 first- place votes and 335 total points.

Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs came third with 10 first- place votes and 166 total points. There were five points for every first position vote, three points for every second position vote and one point for third place votes that were awarded for every coach. Kerr and assistant coach Luke Walton who was the temporary head coach up until Kerr returned from his sick leave following back- surgery complications in January, contributed to the Warriors 73-9 win. This was considered the best regular- season record in league history. It was an even greater win than that of the Chicago Bulls 72- 10 in between 1995-96. The NBA who was in the defending team kicked off with a 24-0 wins in the season.

The NBA records were set by the Warriors for the first- season wins of 34, and successive home regular- season wins of 54 which were inclusive of 18 wins that were due to be completed in the previous season. They also won 39- 2 at the Oracle Arena for the second consecutive time. The Golden State team was among the first teams to go through a season without losing two consecutive games or even being defeated by the same team twice. The Warriors team came thorough strong at every end of the court with various high ratings and also won an NBA record. This was one of the greatest wins since the 1991- 92 seasons.

The legendary Red Auerbach who the Coach of the Year Award is named after guided the Celtics to nine NBA championships. He was recognized among the Top 10 Coaches in the NBA history in 1996, this was when the NBA celebrated its 50^th Anniversary.

It is only the MLB that has allowed players to use wearable whoops. However, NBA has since banned the use of the attire and this has proven costly to one NBA player.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mathew Dellavedova is one player who has been using the wearable Whoop in the previous 15 games. This reached the NBA which prompted not to give him a heavy penalty but he would be subjected to a ban of strapping them on. This follows the NBA’s strict rules that have been in existence in prohibiting its players in wearing tech.

Nonetheless, the new policy of the wearable tech has no any correlation to the unique data from the Jawbone or the Fitbit. Basically, thee Whoop is meant for outstanding athletes. More often than not, the tech is designed to perform actionable information in the present times which may be in relation to one’s stress condition or the heart rate. It also serves the purpose of protecting a player from injuries as well as the preparedness a player may be in after a travel schedule.

Wearables have become popular in the NBA as they help a player in training sessions. For instance, the Golden State Warriors have made use of Catapult Sports devices in trainings whereas the Miami Heat partnered with Vert makers in provision of these wearables crucial for monitoring key elements such as jump load and jump counts.

However, the debate on use of wearables both in games and training sessions will continue in the NBA. Many have claimed to avoid them arguing that they can reciprocate a negative effects that can be evidence at the court. For instance, body contact during a basketball game is common and a player in the process of trying to stop another from making a dunk may get it rough when caught unawares by the Whoop in sensitive body parts such as the eye.
