NBA Observations

I used to be a huge fan of NBA basketball. When I was growing up I made sure I had every version of SLAM magazine, and even have a couple of them today (Lebron and Bassy on the same cover!). However, in the last couple years I've kind of grown apart from my ex-favorite sport. Maybe because my local Wolves have been so bad since they traded KG, or maybe I just find the NBA game to not be as exciting as it once was. But I've been following it a little more closely this year, at least until the Twins start making some moves (Beltre, Beltre, Beltre!) or the Vikes start their playoff run. Here are a couple observations...

Joakim Noah looks like the worst smelling person of all time, next to golfer Vijay Singh. The worst part is, it’s starting to look like Joakim and his weird mustache and half from may actually be good at basketball.

Steve Nash is the best pure point guard in the game. Some of his ball skills are just sick. Don’t believe me, go here

Lebron James is looking more and more like Jordan in his prime. The scary thing is that he’s just as good a passer, shoots with a higher percentage, and can rebound like a forward. The only thing left is for him to become clutch, which to be honest, Jordan was one of a kind and may never be touched in that regard.

I’m still pissed about the Roy/Foye trade. If the T-Wolves didn’t trade Roy, we’d have never had to dismantle the team and we’d be playoff bound this year.

And speaking of the Wolves the Nets, Knicks, Grizzlies, and Warriors will all finish with worse records than the timberpuppies, and that’s saying something
