"When was the last time you heard your boy [Smooth] rhyme? Never on schedule, but always on time"
Simply put, my fans were due, so here we go
In my opinion, tonight is the single most important game of the last 10 years in the NBA ... call it what you want: legacy-defining, classic, throwback ... I said it on Facebook, that this will define the careers of Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett ... for Kobe, he's trying to reach the rarefied "airness", which many will argue for years to come, but a win tonight would give him a legit case to be considered up there ... for me, a win tonight, plus a couple more titles and the all-time scoring title would put him Top 3 for sure ... for KG, it will distinguish him from a one-hit-wonder and a winner ... a win this year means that they've beat the best that the NBA has to offer ... if they lose, it'll probably be KG's last opportunity as the Celtics will almost certainly be broken up ...
oh and check out an entry from October ... maybe they should call me prophet ... disregarding the last paragraph of course LOL ...
On the May 2-4 Weekend, BabyGirl and myself spent the day in downtown Toronto ... good eats at Lone Star, shopping on Queen Street and caught Just Wright (starring Queen Latifa and Common) at Scotiabank Theater ... a mini-review:
-Essentially it was a Romantic-Comedy with Rappers and Ballers
-Common wasn't as bad an actor as I was expecting
-Kinda predictable
-Rolled my eyes over the adversity the main couple had to overcome
-What saved it for me: it was about ball, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade's cameos (two of my fave players) and eye-candy Paula Patton
-Would I watch it again? yeah why not
-Would I recommend to anyone? not to the haters LOL
-DVD purchase? yeah when it hits Wal-Mart's 2-for-10 bin
-Score: 2.25/5
If 2009 was about NES revivals (Punch-Out!! and New Super Mario Bros. Wii), then 2010 is about the SNES remakes ... The Wii-exclusive EA Sports NBA Jam was already announced earlier this year, but at E3 2010 Nintendo introduced Donkey Kong Country Returns ... I'll be busy taking care of some business this fall, but come Christmas Holidays, I know how my time's gonna be spent ... also from E3, Mario Sports Mix looks promising, but it won't be released until 2011 ... Thank You Again Nintendo! ... the only run my PlayStation 3 is getting right now is Super Street Fighter 4 ... but, I am looking forward to NBA 2K11, when The G.O.A.T. graces the cover and word is that legendary rosters including "his airness" will be part of the game ... imagine the possibilities ... Jordan, Pippen and Rodman destroying the current NBA, LOL ... if EA Sports keeps its word, Fight Night Round 5 should be out in 2011 ... only 2 requests: 1) drop ESPN and get HBO, it doesn't feel right without Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant making the call, 2) same rosters + Floyd Mayweather ...
speaking of which, I know in my heart that "The Biggest Fight of All-Time" will go down this year ... after that, my lifetime as a sports fan will be complete ... I've seen Tyson, the Jays win back-to-back, Jordan's Bulls dominate, tonight's Lakers/Celtics Game 7, so Pacquiao/Mayweather would be icing on the cake ...
