Other Good News!

So there's this "KIA Motors NBA Tip-off Celebration" in Union Square tomorrow, which is a brief walk from our confines on Loisaida Ave. I was going to go anyways; Walt Frazier and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are meant to be there, and I can't miss an opportunity to see some ridiculous get-ups in person.

I mean, Frazier is an O.G. when it comes to flamboyant attire, and Kareem just doesn't know how to dress himself.

But I digress. As I was reading my favorite NBA blog Ball Don't Lie morning, something pretty cool happened. BDL editor and blogger extraordinaire wrote a post about the KIA Tip-Off Celebration and asked at the bottom if anyone in the NYC area was going. BAM! Your boy e-mailed Skeets and secured a potential guest-posting spot on the mighty Ball Don't Lie. The event goes from 7am-7pm, so there will be plenty to blog about. I'm going to try really hard to get Nate Robinson to dunk on me and have a picture taken of it. If all else fails, I should have some interesting pics/thoughts posted on BDL. So head over to Ball Don't Lie Wednesday morning, hopefully your boy Mo Blue and BS will get some plug on the site. Show your support and check it out. If it strikes you, drop a comment about how awesome the post is or something, I'd really appreciate it.

NBA Tomorrow

Good News!

















The NBA is back in our lives as of tomorrow night, tipping off with a rematch of last year' East Finals, the Celtics vs. the LeBrons. It should be a little different this time around, the Cavs have added point guard Mo Williams into the fold and the Cs have lost their 6-man and perennial ring-bearer James Posey. But the C's still have Paulie, the Cavs still have LeBron, and LeBron still has his mama, so suffice it to say that these two teams still don't like each other. This should be a great way to get the season started, and I wouldn't be surprised to find myself watching the Lakers and Blazers, the second game of the TNT doubleheader, at 10:30pm. But it's no secret that what I'm really excited about is Craig Sager's opening night suit. His suits during the ALCS were way too tasteful for my liking, i think it was cold in Boston. He never seems to disappoint during the NBA season, usually busting out his most outlandish attire. That being said, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a predominantly orange suit. Any takers? I'll bet the shit out of this.
