NBA Off-Season In Full Effect
Summertime for sports isn't that exciting, as sports fans just witnessed the best NBA season since MJ, a terrific NCAA Basketball Tournament with Davidson and Super Mario Chalmers' miracle shot, and a stupid effing Superbowl that was exciting for everyone in the country not from the best sports city. The Stanley Cup was pretty cool and Euro 2008 was great, but baseball sucks, it is so boring and long now. I guess it always has been, but with spectacular seasons in other sports it shows you truly how awful baseball is. I don't even care the Tampa Bay Rays just swept the Red Sox because the Red Sox will be there in October for sure. Imagine if the NBA was going on during summertime, it would be the best thing ever. You could watch TNT or ESPN or Celtics games every day of the week, and actually watch SportsCenter Top 10 because now it is full of the same diving catches by no name outfielders. Olympic Basketball is something to look forward to too, and as of this week the NBA Off-season has been entertaining.
I LOVE that my favorite NBA superstar Baron Davis is going to the Clippers and Brand is supposedly taking a pay cut to play with him, although Brand was just offered a huge contract by the Golden State Warriors. If Brand takes that he will go against everything he has said, that he was inspired by the Big Three and wanted a big name player alongside him so the Clippers could compete. The West is going to be so amazing again next season, look at the starting five for the Clippers, Chris Kaman (a favorite of mine), Elton Brand, Al Thornton, Cuttino Mobley, and Baron Davis, and coming off the bench Eric Gordon and Shaun Livingston's knee. There are so many legitimate teams: the Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Mavs (not big on them), Jazz, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Rockets, Suns, Nuggets, Warriors (sort of). There are only four teams that as of right now have no shot at the playoffs: the Oklahoma City Sonics, Kings, O.J. Mayo's Grizzlies, and the very young talented T-Wolves Baron Davis is a superstar and will compete with Kobe for LA Headlines and I love it, because Baron is the coolest flyest dude ever rocking The Hundreds gear and geek glasses and seemingly being everywhere the camera is in Los Angeles. I got my BoomDizzle Clippers jersey in the mail yo!
With Mario Chamlers and DeAndre Jordan left on the board, the Celtics chose New Mexico small forward J.R. Giddens, a transfer from Kansas. I think J.R. is a James Posey prototype and hopefully Pose stays around long enough to show J.R. the ropes. Doc and Danny chose J.R. because of his defensive abilities they saw in person and on tape. He is super athletic and definitely will be able to score the basketball, but he is going to be a defensive stopper. The Celtics also got Billy Walker, Michael Beasley's sidekick at Kansas State. Bill was also O.J.'s sidekick throughout AAU and high school ball and was a vicious dunker. He had knee surgery his freshman year of high school and I believe in college too, and just had some this week after being drafted. So, clearly he has knee problems, but it is a terrific chance to take. He is undersized at 6'6, but has the chance to be one of the amazing athletes in this league and he can also shoot the ball. He had a couple big shooting nights this past year in college and could be a very solid offensive threat off the bench and be an energy guy.
