NBA Playoffs

It gotta say, when Michael Jordan left the league back in the day, my interest in the NBA dropped significantly. I love the game, probably more than any other sport, but this playoff season is the first that I've made it a point to tune into in a very long time.

Kobe stepped it up in last night's Laker game, he has an innate ability, similar to Jordan, to take over a game when it's on the line. We'll see what Denver can offer them at the Staples center on Thursday.

But let's talk about Lebron James for a moment. GROWN-ASS MAN is all I can say. He is undoubtedly the most exciting player to watch in the NBA and brings an accelerated athleticism to the game that I personally haven't seen since Jordan. He is a fully developed adult of the male species. The Cavaliers have been kinda floating through their playoff games with relative ease compared to their colleagues, and it has largely been due to the fact that Lebron is a full-grown man out there. There's no question he can rent a car whenever he wants, and he's not even 25 yet.

It's my opinion that he could score just about every time he has the ball, or at least end up at the free throw line. He's not a selfish player, however, and thus we see him dish the ball just as much as he dunks it. But his athleticism is absolutely through the roof. It angers me just watching him. He plays 4 nights a week and can leap through the ceiling and still go to a dance club later that night and nail at least a couple of girls. And what do I do after a game? I play three on three for an hour and am home icing my shins and feet, complaining that I should have called a "jump ball" even though what really happened was that my opponent just took the ball from me.....straight out of my little girl's grip!

Lebron James and any other athlete that's 'better than me can go straight to hell.

Okay I realize that blog entry took a turn to negative town, but as I was writing I got frustrated.
