So Much Things To Say Right Now...

- I'm kind of tired of hearing all of this "Who is Better, Lebron or Kobe?" mess. They're each better at different things. Lebron is now the more consistent scorer, while Kobe can still score in a lot more ways.

- It's interesting watching Dwight Howard and Lebron James in a series right now. They're the two most physically gifted athletes... maybe EVER in the NBA. And both of them are so busy making 10 "Where Amazing Happens" commercials per game to do the things that signified some of the past greats. Watching them fumble around on the low post for their respective teams is especially amusing. Watch them. It looks like someone pulled the old Dennis Rodman "Pull the chair from under him" routine almost every time they try to make post moves towards the basket. On one play, yesterday, Lebron almost stumbled over his own feet... but he still got the two points. I guess that as long as they're scoring, it doesn't matter how pretty the move is. But if Dwight had moves like Olajuwon, he would score like Wilt.

- Congratulations to Shelden Williams and Candace Parker-Williams on Baby Layla Nicole Williams (Not Sure of the spelling). Also congratulations to Uncle, Anthony Parker. On a separate note, wouldn't you love to just watch a pick up game at one of their family bar-b-qs? If Layla knows what's good for her, she better play basketball. I could see her biography on Lifetime now "In the shadows of BB", with the inevitable scene where she's caught reading up on constitutional law because she wants to be a lawyer, then the family has an intervention to find out what's wrong with her.

- Tonight is Nuggets V. Lakers, Game 2. The Nuggets played better in the last game and still lost. I picked the Lakers to win in Six, but after seeing that, I might want to change it to Lakers in 5. Especially if the Lakers get an extra home game on Monday Night when Vince McMahon gets his way in the Pepsi Center.

- My Never-Ending quest to become an NCAA Coach took a positive turn this week when I was offered a position. Not as an NCAA Coach, but as a High School coach. Still, it's something. Now I just have to figure out how to survive in Los Angeles for a year on $23.45, the entire stipend for the position. I'll let you all know if I end up taking it. If I do, you'll probably see me at your local Wal-Mart Convenience store in the mornings.

- In the meantime, I'll be coaching another season at MVRC, beginning next month. I'm excited about that, even though it looks like I might not have 7 kids on the team. I guess they'll just have to get in shape.

- OK, that's it for now. More later.

- Wishing you all Love, Peace and Soul, Everybody... I miss Don Cornelious. Shamar more is a very poor replacement.
