Space Jam

If you know me well, you know that I'm not a fan of the NBA. I think it used to be great. Except now I feel like it's so much of a show... a dunk show, to be specific. I prefer actually watching basketball where there is hard, legitimate defense being played, and I just don't see that anymore with the NBA.

In any regard, you may or may not know that the NBA playoffs are going on right now. When I've gone to the gym these past two mornings, ESPN has been on the television, forcing me to watch sports highlights as I push myself through my 30-min workout. On one highlight, the Cavs are playing the Bulls, which from the highlights appeared to me as LeBron James playing the Bulls. James had some 37 or 38 points in that game with two buzzer shots from way behind the 3-point line, one almost near half court. The highlights just showed dunk after shot after dunk after shot of his, and I have to say, it was pretty amazing.

Again, I don't care for the NBA nor will I sit down and say "hmm, I want to watch the NBA playoffs" and turn to that channel, but James was impressive... and entertaining. It was like "did he just do that?!" and the answer was yes. I guess I'll take my dose of the NBA in the ESPN morning highlights and nothing more.
