So the NBA Playoffs are starting up soon. The LA Lakers locked up home court advantage in the west. I hate the Lakers in case you didn't know. I find Kobe Bryant to be an arrogant jerk. Everyone is saying he deserves the MVP this year but no one remembers that he has the most help of any of the other candidates except for Kevin Garnett and he has the best coach in the NBA in Phil Jackson. I do admire Kobe's skills but does a guy that leads the league in technical fouls deserve to get the MVP award? Even though I can't stand him, I do have to admit that the following video is very cool.
Some people are debating if this is real or not. Personally, I've watched it several times (a couple of times in slow motion) and I'm convinced that it is real and that Kobe's an idiot and doesn't care as much about winning a championship as everyone thinks. Chris Paul gets my vote for MVP. As Bill Simmons has said numerous times, Chris Paul is having the best season of any point guard...EVER! If Steve Nash won it the past two years and Chris Paul has better numbers than Nash did those two years during this season, then I think he deserves it. Plus he has basically brought basketball back to New Orleans.
I'm very excited because in a little over 2 weeks, my buddy Zach and I are going to the Glow in the Dark Tour at Walnut Creek. The line up is Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco (see below), N*E*R*D, and Rhianna. I'm hearing that visually this will be the greatest concert in the last 50 years. Kanye has gotten video director Hype Williams to design holograms, Jim Henson's Mumpet Shop to design puppets, and world renown lighting crews to provide lights for the show. You can see some pics of the rehersal at Kanye's blog and I'll be sure to post more after the concert goes down. I'm way excited for that.
I'm also excited because the Carolina RailHawks 2008 Season Opener is quickly approaching. The final cuts have been made and the team is now fully assembled. They've played their last exhibition game. They open on the road this weekend in Atlanta against the rival SilverBacks. That game can be seen on the internet at www.usllive.com. The home opener is Saturday 26 April at 7:30 p.m. I hope to see some of y'all out there.
One other thing. The Roots new album Rising Down, comes out in two weeks. These guys are some of the hardest-working, most genuine artists out there. I encourage everyone who is into hip-hop music to go out and buy their album on 29 April. Don't be a jerk and steal it over the internet. Support good music.
I'm out!
