christmas in august
i recently read an article about how the nba is choosing its potential christmas day matchups. thinking back to last christmas, laying on the floor in my grandparents living room with my grandpa's fireplace blazing watching the lakers and the suns battle. my uncle joel beaded sweat on his forehead, either from kobe bryant excitement or that blazing fire. bryan and i shared similar fascination with nba games on christmas. what is it good for? great naps. captivating matchups. non-stop trash talking with uncle joel. so, the nba decided on a five game quintuple-header (?). the madness kicks off with orlando vs new orleans. then following is san antonio vs phoenix. then boston vs. l.a. then washington vs cleveland. then dallas vs. portland. i think david stern did an okay job and i want to highlight how i could have made it better.
the suns and spurs will be phenomenal. probably the first time, i will root for shaq on christmas day. here is how it has to play out. the game must go to triple overtime. shaq will hit a game winning three pointer and it must be in san antonio. i want to see duncan's bewildered face after phoenix avenges its 2008 game 1 playoff loss. the boston/l.a. also may play out as a classic as long paul pierce dunks on sasha vujacic to win the game in overtime. i will keep joel on speed dial to make sure that anything kobe bryant does he appreciates and when kobe falls short in a loss to the celtics, i will call and see if he is accepting trade offers.
how can the dallas and portland game be interesting? how about an elton john and greg oden duet at halftime? i saw him on the espys; i know that man can sing and play the piano. plus, i think elton will be into oden's style (i mean they are practically the same age, right?). i think i will plan a nap through the washington/cleveland game unless soulja boy and jay-z show up to support deshawn stevenson and lebron james.
the nba has to seize the opportunity for great advertisement the way the super bowl has. chris kaman should be featured in a series of geico's caveman commercials. i hope to see sam cassell as the new alien villain in transformers 2.
i hope you can appreciate the absurdity of this post. i promise to be more relevant in the future, but i coudln't resist posting one of my brother and i's more recent conversations.
