Press Notes...
... some intern spends a lot of time putting them together, so why don't the announcers try and use them? Props to Matt for ranting this article to me over my shoulder.
Ok, Rockets-Lakers game last night and Von Wafer is tearing it up. Now he's been tearing it up all week to the point where he got nominated for player of the week in the conference but apparently the announcer (not sure who it was) hasn't been paying attention because he says "Kobe must be wondering who this Von Wafer guy is". Um, Von Wafer played on the Lakers and was Kobe's teammate in 05-06. Reliable sources say Kobe even came to visit Wafer in the locker room during last year's All-Star game. C'mon, at least pretend you do some research. If I hear another announcer ask something like "Who the heck is this Blake Ahearn guy?" I'm going to flip out... and blog about it.
Jose Calderon FT Watch
Jose's 76-76 on the year and he's caused thousands of Spanish fans to overlook Toronto's dismal start.
4th dunker?
The NBA is letting YOU choose the 4th dunker for the dunk contest this year. Who's going to win? I have no idea but it should be Joe Alexander. Rudy is a game-only alley-oop dunker and Westbrook has hops but he's a little guy (and he has no shot to win this thing with Spain behind Rudy and China behind Joe). Alexander can hit his head on the rim and he's 6'8. A generation of white guys with above-average-ups is growing up without a role model because they never knew Brent Barry. Do them a favor and vote for Joe Alexander and save the entire Caucasian population the embarrassment of another Chris Anderson-esque performance.
