Never really paid any attention to this guy before and it turns out he's really the best dude.

Me neither and yeah.

ask them if the building that houses day care really is the one named after Paterno. (it is)

Bosh failed his physical this morning with the Heat. It seeming like he is going to have no choice but to retire early.

I really grew to respect Bosh a lot over the years because he just seems like a genuinely solid guy. I'm bummed that this is happening to him.

Also, KJ finally retired. Good riddance.

Although I did just C this 4 the first time and it made my day.

It's hard 4 me to hold any grievances against any player featured in Charles Barkley Shut Up N Jam Gaiden...  doesn't even really matter whether they were featured as heroes or villains. God speed KJ.

why is KJ autocorrecting to KJ

So saw this post and immediately started looking 4 the video of the Kevin Johnson "mr goody two shoes has got some new shoes" converse commercial from the early 90s... this is like a bimonthly occurrence with me, and always with the same negative results... but in looking 4 this shit I watched a bunch of youtubes of early 90s basketball and I know I'm entering weird old dudes in the barber shop talking about boxing in Coming To America territory here, but shit man basketball was so fucking cool when I was a young one. I'm sure it's still cool now, but like, I don't care.

OH FUCK!!!

Glad to have ducked my head in here to C this. Wonder if I knew that was En Vogue back then.

Funny how I have more vivid memories of those shoes than I do of that commercial, when all I was really doing with my life was watching NBA Inside Stuff and had probably seen it numerous times.

I don't remember the shoes, and my brain doesn't quite remember the commercial, but the pit of my soul does, especially the part where he's starting to blur from running so fast.

Thread has me listening 2"Free Your Mind" and reminding me of repping hard 4 that song on somb like 10 years ago, a wasted effort if I recall.

I remember seeing #13 and/or #1 4 the first time and it was like something from another planet.

Not gonna pretend I haven't been thinking about those very things too. The En Vogue thing included a response to Deej's "Ridin Dirty" thread I believe.

the Warriors defense is unbelievably fucking terrible

Fun Bulls game to watch tonight! Don't know what beating the Cavs in early December means but they looked solid.

Going to see them play the Spurs next week!
