It's Been 2 Years

And I've completely neglected this blog. But let's get this going again shall we?

Of course everyone knows about the No. 2 pick, and I blew my load on that long ago. But I'm saving a big one for draft day, so I hope my roommates have got the towels and windex ready.

There's almost a new Lewis sign and trade rumor every fucking day. Enough is enough, how many of these teams actually have the money to pay Lewis a max deal? Orlando looked like the best bet, although if they give Darko an extension it becomes less likely. Celtics? I wonder if we could ripoff Danny Ainge for Gerald Green and the 5th pick. No one's that stupid right? Well except for Danny Ainge and probably, scratch that, definately Isaiah Thomas.

You heard it here first, King James is overrated! Look, don't get me wrong, I like the kid alot, I even bought one of those counterfeit Lebron jeresey's in China for like $10 U.S. But everyone's being lining up to blow his dick, proclaiming that he's the best player in the NBA right now.

Are you kidding me? So what if he made it to the NBA Finals, he got the Arenas-less and Butler-less Wizards. (As a side note, isn't Butler kind of a degrading last name for a black man? Just a thought. Although I am quite fond of Jeffery Butler, of Fresh Prince fame, but I digress.)

Then he got the .500 Nets, who despite Jason "Joumana" Kidd, Vince "Air Guido" Carter, Richard "Michael Jackson Disease" Jefferson and a resurgent Mikki "McGruff The Crime Dog" Moore and playing in the Eastern Conference (stop laughing....I said STOP LAUGHING!) only managed a .500 record. Remember this is the Eastern Conference, home to Danny Ainge and Isaiah Thomas, so you know they're bad. The only real challenge was against the Pistons, and while Lebron was amazing for that one magical game 5, he fell apart game 6 and it took a man named "boobie" to carry the team. (Supposedly Gibson is nicknamed boobie because he was a cry baby. Can you imagine a young Gibson reaching out his little hands in a pinching motion and crying for boobie. While I do not condone incest, if you do then that man is a playa'.)

How does Lebron stack up to the BOB Test? (That's Best of the Best Test, not Bombs Over Baghdad)

1. Can he score consistently?
Sure as long as he drives the lane, his outside jumper is still spotty and let's not even begin to talk about his 69% FT%.

2. Defense?
He'll play the passing lanes and with his size and athleticism he can sky for those blocks, but he's still a average to below average one on one defender. He's yet to make a single All-defensive team (1st or 2nd team).

3. Clutch (intangibles)?
You won't make any clutch baskets if you can't shoot, and Lebron is still too inconsistent and too unselfish to be considered a clutch player. Stop bitching about Bruce Bowen, you had an open fucking shot and you missed!

Best player in the NBA? Kobe Bryant, if he had any talent on that team (besides the oft-injured Lamar Odom and good role-player Luke Walton. Not I'm not forgetting Bynum, but Andrew Bynum didn't produce consistently enough) he'd be deep into the playoffs. Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Kobe "The Japanese Rapist" Bryant. Kid's got game on and off the court.
