Let's blog

Again, thanks to everyone for the comments and spreading the word about our blog. Please continue to tell your friends so we can get more and more people reading this bad boy. We had some great comments, and some of those I will address in this post, let's get it on.

• Let's talk Cavs. My cousin (our cousin really) posted a comment about really the Cavs organization, and in response to that, I would like to dive a little deeper into what he said. If you're looking for his comment, it is under "Comments" in response to my post yesterday (4/20). I agree with the fact that Lebron is a man, a force, and quickly becoming the BEST player in the NBA. For gosh sakes, he took 3 steps from outside the 3 point line and did a 2 handed windmill with ease...3 STEPS!! Never before have I seen a player resemble Jordan as closely as Lebron has. Jordan, to me, will always be the best basketball player to ever play the game, period. I feel like Lebron will be in that conversation before his career is done. He really looks like a had playing on a playground, jumping around, swinging from whatever he can, and really just looking like a kid in a candy store, like perhaps he created the NBA and everyone in it for his own enjoyment. However, just like Jordan, Lebron realized, fortunately for him very early, that he cannot win alone. So he asked for help. Ask Chosen One, and you shall receive. Danny Ferry, along with Coach Mike Brown, and the rest of the Cavs office, have done a superb job fitting the right pieces to the puzzle that is Lebron. On paper, this team is not as flashy as even their playoff counterpart Pistons, but behind Lebron and Coach Brown this team is very much just that, a TEAM. An actual team is rare in this day and age, think back to the glory days of sports, Jordan and the Bulls, America's Team, the Yankees, Patriots, Spurs...all these winning, championship teams did have superb players yes, but the one thing they all share is that they are a team. From manager/coach down to the bench warmer, everyone is on the same page and knows their role and what to contribute. I feel that the Cavs have this going for them, and perhaps they won't win this year, but keep that chemistry and that team concept going, and mark my words they will be the next great dynasty in sports. Lebron said something very profound in his postgame interview last night in referring to the Cavs losing their lead really because the second team went in thinking the game was over and really speared the Pistons comeback, he said "I'm not upset or disappointed with those guys, I'm disappointed with MY TEAM and they way WE let them back in." He wasn't even in the game! There wasn't a starter in the game, and he STILL took some blame for the comeback. Could you see A-Roid doing that? Even Tom Brady (because you know no matter how much the Patriots are up, Brady is still throwing bombs to Moss)? I don't think so, and then after all that...he's 24. Twenty four years old! Absurb, completely absurd. God must have had a really good day when he made Lebron, because he gave this young man talents and ideas and a personality that is not seen, ever, especially in the big realm of sports.
• Ok enough of my man-crush on Lebron, let's talk more NBA. Chauncey Billups has done more for the Nuggets than any of them will ever know. Being a retired point guard, I understand the importance of having a captain, leader, someone to calm the storm or humble the cocky. The Nuggets have always been a good team, look at the players they've had over the last 2 years...Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, Nene, Allen Iverson, J.R. Smith, Kenyon Martin, Chris "Birdman" Anderson, and who can forget the man among boys that is Sonny Weems. They have always had a stacked lineup, the only problem has been their streakiness and themselves. As a team, just like their shooting, the Nuggets are streaky. They can come out and beat you 150-100 then the next night you turn around and beat them by the same score. Enter Chauncey Billups. Things change, he slows the ball down, he takes a technical foul, he draws a foul to get 2 free throws, little things he does that make the Nuggets a completely different team. I still believe that the Mavs will beat the Nuggets in the 2nd Round, but still, if Chauncey stays and they keep the key players, boy will they be scary next year.
• Congrats to Derrick rose for being announced ROY. He very much deserved it. I still think he's as dumb as a sack of rocks though.
• Dikembe Mutombo says his career is over after his injury in the 1st quarter of last night's game. Maybe now he will tell us all how old he really is, he's probably got some trees beat.
• And finally before class, Percy Harvin tested positive for marijuana. Is that news to anyone?

I'll be back later. More to come, no shout out yet, that will be in my later blog. Til then.
