….this ain’t cold. You know, when I was a kid, you used to walk to school with icicles forming in your nostrils. You young kids don’t know from suffering.
The Bosh video continues to get applause and eyerolls. Have to agree with the negative. While this thing could have come off as a good laugh, I think it’s becoming the opposite. It looks like a plea from a player who has numbers down from last year and looking up at possibly the two best players in the game this year. Besides, it’s not really even that funny. A sextape with Bosh and his hottie girlfriend would probably help his cause more than this.
Besides, there are much better ideas for commercials out there. Here is a great list to get it started.
Many of you that have read my posts on Usenet and in our forums over the years know how I despise hearing the crowd in Toronto boo returning ex-Raptors. Childish, classless, useless. Well, at least we now have some company. Open the door to the mormons and let them in and feel their love. Sad.
I hate hockey. I watch maybe 2-3 games a year and usually only in hopes of a game that knocks the Maple Loafs out for the season. I did, however, check out the outdoor game in Buffalo. I thought it was fantastic and it deserves all the kudos it is getting as well as the good ratings numbers from the US viewers. How about playing a basketball game outdoors? How about doing it in, say, Minnesota?
You catch that Magic/Nets game last night? Great comeback by the Nets, but hell of a block by Howard on Vince late in the game. It’s like Dwight had a bat in his hand….like here. Another great name on tonight, by the way, if only just to see the 40-year retro stuff being rolled out by the Suns against the Sonics. Shame that there will be no retro-uniforms worn by Phoenix, though. The dancers and mascot will partake, though.
Speaking of the Nets, looks like their move to Brooklyn has been pushed back to 2010. Gives me another year to save up for my seasons to sit close to these two. Hell, by that time, may Isiah’s championship banner will be raised to the rafters of MSG. A title, huh? Good luck with that. The Knicks have as much chance of that happening as the Bulls have of leaving January with a losing record for the month.
With the ability to sign 10-days coming up and the trade deadline not too far in the offing, some names are being floated around: Mickael Pietrus, Mike Bibby & Ron Artest, Elton Brand, and even my man Ricky Davis. Could be a busy few weeks in the lives of NBAers that are getting a bit closer to a rec league than a championship.
Stay indoors and watch some ball tonight. To keep you warm, here is a nice look back at the Kevin Garnett draft and, for hilarity, what Isiah would have done had the Raps been able to trade up to draft him. What do you think?
w00t.

well,i want to cast my vote to chris bosh,for he is the only one i know.
give him ur vote for he deserves it.
Only an idiot would honestly believe Chris Bosh was trying to get anything more than a laugh out of his hilarious self-deprecating video. Everyone including himself knows he has zero chance of winning a popularity contest against Kevin Garnett and Lebron James, arguably the two most popular NBA players in the post-Jordan era.
cool, so he isn’t looking for votes, then? Guess the girlfriend should have edited out how to vote for him.
Ahhhh…poor ebrian….no wonder you have been so quiet lately.
Let me present to you, from the horses mouth, via the National Post:
“As far as the all-star game, I really wanted to go back, so I was like, “What can I do to help my votes? Internet. OK.” And it just went on from there.
&
“NP | Do you think you have a chance in the vote against KG or LeBron?
CB | I don’t know. We’ll see after the next response. It depends on how many people actually watch the video and actually vote. So we’ll see.”
Care to comment, sir?
