Wither without Gerald


Don't know how many of you watched the NBA "extravaganza" Saturday night. If you didn't consider yourself lucky. Disappointing, truly. No blowing out cupcakes. Just straight corn, and Barkley wasn't there to eat it. The biggest news was Lebron saying he will be in the dunk contest next year.

The highlight of the evening may have been the first event, the terribleness of which is made apparent by the sponsor, Haier, a company know one has heard of (but that's all changing thanks to their "Shooting Stars" sponsorship!). The other events have known brands paying more money than you'll make in your life to have their name associated with them. Haier makes washing machines.

Anyway, dunk contest. The problem is the competitors. Dwight Howard, obviously, puts on a show. His dunking on a 12 foot rim was pretty entertaining. But really ... The cape again? How about something new. The power of Christ compels you to channel your God-love into some sort of crucifix slam. Too soon?

But what about Nate "Kryptonite" Robinson you ask? He's relatively short, yet can still dunk! Ugh. I feel safe in saying that Nate is the most unappealing player in the NBA, and that's not just because of his running feud with Lou Williams. And the inclusion of Rudy Fernandez by fan vote is inexplicable, and proof of stupidity.

That's it, the blood is up. Gotta watch some AI to calm down, or Skeets.
So robbed.
