The Hindi’s
The NBA season is less than a month away. The First Annual Hindi’s are here to predict the winners of some very important awards.
Most Valuable Player: LeBron James – Now that Kobe doesn’t have the “Best player to not win the MVP” argument going for him, he will lose a lot of attention nationally. James is on a mediocre team and always turns it into a contender. I will devote a full article to the MVP race, but LeBron is always the guy to beat to begin the season.
Coach of the Year: Sam Mitchell – The COY Award is always a little screwy. Whichever team is not expected to perform well, but then suddenly does, the coach is awarded. I guess that makes sense, but it should be combined with the Trainer of the Year Award for keeping the players healthy.
Rookie of the Year: Michael Beasely – Most of the top rookies are paired with another rookie who could get consideration for the ROY and steal some consideration. Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez with Portland. Marc Gasol and O.J. Mayo on Memphis. Beasely was impressive in the Summer League and the Heat are poised for a great turnaround season.
Under-Appreciated Tandem Award: Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison – Everyone talks about Gilbert Arenas and his constant injury concerns, but the Wizards were better when Arenas is wearing a suit and watching. Butler and Jamison are both legit stars and if management would try to build a team around them, Washington could finally knock off Cleveland.
Newcomer of the Year: Elton Brand – If Brand had stayed in L.A., the Clippers would be a contender in the West. Now on a playoff team in the East, Brand should make a huge impact. His low post game combined with the confidence of Andre Iguodala, the Sixers will be tough to match-up with.
Drama Queen of the Year: Lamar Odom – Now that Kobe is happy, theoretically, Lamar Odom is peeved that he might lose his starting spot to Trevor Ariza who has been impressive in limited action. Ariza is not better than Odom, but having Odom come off the bench would make him the main man with the second unit. But Odom has been watching too much “The Hills” and thought, “What would Spencer do?” Throwing a fit that should be a constant distraction is the only right answer.
6th Man of the Year: Grant Hill – Manu Ginobili is hurt so this race opens up and now that teams are starting to delegate a starter to the second string to lead the younger players. Hill is surrounded by talented, experienced players and won’t need to over-work for his numbers.
Most Awkward Potential Headlines Award: Kevin Love – Check out this gem from NBA.com, “Love Making Early Good Impressions With Wolves”. Now, is it the Love making or the Love making early that is causing the good impressions with Wolves? These are the problems that ensue with the last name of Love. I guess it’s just a good thing he was traded off of Rudy Gay’s team.
Vein Popping Award: Kevin Garnett – His intensity is unrivaled on this planet. Anyone who seriously poses the, “Will the Celtics still have the drive?” question, has never seen KG play consistently. I would feel bad for the guy who refs his kids soccer games. Garnett on the sideline pacing and pounding his chest as a 6-year-old scores a goal, that’s too much to handle.

Bamboo Flute Indian Music Instrument Transverse Style Pro LevelA bamboo flute is remarkable in its simplicity. It is a legendary folk instrument associated with Lord Krishna. The hindi word bansuri is a synthesis of baans meaning bamboo, and sur meaning musical note. The Indian flute is melodious and a wide range of notes is achieved from simple calibration of the air column in the bamboo. A community of craftsmen living in Pilibhit has made making flutes from bamboo a hereditary family enterprise. Only a few master craftsmen know the closely guarded secret of indexing the musical notes precisely, which is done by piercing the bamboo to make holes for placement of fingers. The professional flutes are made from seasoned bamboos, which are carefully selected and stored before conversion. Great musicians of the Indian classical tradition source their flute from Pilibhit craftsmen. The flute presented here is meant for professional play and is made by an expert craftsman from Pilibhit, Nawab Ahmed.
