Sink or Swim

So we all know that it’s the season again where all of us men gather in our homes to do something that completes our lives that apparently isn’t all about sex.

I don’t understand why some people see it THAT way because apparently my girlfriend thinks that’s all I ever think about. Of course not. Well, she’s right. Sometimes. So here’s my quick, one-page write-up on one of the most important things to me since sports…wait, this is sports.

So, Garnett was traded to Boston with Ray Allen this year which led them to the semi-finals. But I think KG deserves to win a ring this year. He’s been in the playoffs in the past decade and we all know why he should. The guy’s got leadership skills for chrissakes, he led Boston to the final four!

In the West, we got Kobe (Mister MVP (Yeah right (but really there will be no end to the parenthesis’ (point is I strongly disagree (in fact, I think Chris Paul should’ve won)))). Kobe and the Lakers that scored in the name of Luck in the form of a Pau Gasol. I don’t think the Lakers would’ve gotten this far just with Kobe alone.

Wouldn’t it be great if the finals teams for both the East and West would be the Lakers and Boston? People would kill to get front seats. Just like the 80’s except Magic Johnson and Larry Bird would potentially be sitting in only two places: the front row, or the front row.  
 
Tim Duncan and Tony parker definitely deserved to get another ring on their fingers. BUT!!! Who the hell wants to see that again, right? It got pretty boring last year when I found out that they were on the finals again. They have the best players on and off the bench and that is why they keep winning (hence the boredom).

Now, let’s not forget the Pistons, the Pistons have lost their bad boy image way back when  Rodman and Lambier left the team. Honestly I don’t want to talk about them that much cos they won enough rings, too. Minus points for Rodman because made horrible movies. He got it on with Madonna though, I mean she IS Hard Candy so okay, thumbs up for being an all around guy.

Now here’s my favorite part: If I were God and I could make things in the future happen, I would make the Lakers win over the San Antonio Spurs 4-3 and I would make Boston sweep Detroit 4-0. Then on the finals it would be the Lakers and Boston. Boston would make the Lakers win for the first three games then beat them on the next 4 with the following scores 114-115, 108-107 , 106-101 ,135-134 (double over time with a game winning shot by KG). I made it a tight game cos I think Kobe deserves to feel close to winning(but not actually winning) cos he did a pretty good job his season and because I am Mush, too.

Now that is how an ideal NBA season should end. Giving Boston back the championships and well deserved players their well-deserved rings. I think it would be fair if we forget about Tony Parker getting another ring cos he just got one from Eva Longoria last year. Damnit lets not talk about people who have too much luck. I want her. Now.

What’s up with Baron Davis nowadays?  Well…. He just invited people to challenge him.  You would think that if Baron Davis challenges you it would happen in a basketball court with a ball and would require slam dunks.  But no, this guy has a life outside the NBA and apparently it’s in a social networking site.

Baron Davis has challenged the world to have, own, grow the best beard ever.  According to AOL Sports, Davis has started an online competition that requires people to grow a beard and compete with him online, as to who has the best beard in town.

So he’s a talented basketball player, an indies filmmaker and now a beard challenger.  What’s going to be next? Funny though — this is a testament that this guy is truly fantastic.  It is also proof that not all basketball players are dumb.  He’s a great player, he’s rich and he’s down to earth and fun enough to compete with the whole world as to who has the best beard.  Amazingly enough, some of the readers of this article are taking up the challenge. Should I join the challenge as well?
