I know you all have been wondering where I have been for the past week or so. I am okay and I hope all of you have been as well. I been job searching and going on interviews. With the time difference out west and all, sometimes I can’t write this blog in time. I am in San Diego so if any of you can help me with a job that would be greatly appreciated. I am sure someone has written about this next topic, but I have not been on bloggerparty as of late so I wouldn’t know. I am talking about the dunk contest. Obviously Nate Robinson should not get 23 attempts, but jumping over a man that happens to be the same size as you is very impressive. Needless to say when Iguodala double clutched from behind the basket I thought they should have shut the competition down right then and there. But his problem was that he brought that out too soon. In my eyes it came down to their best dunks, the aforementioned dunks. I would not say that AI2 got robbed, but certainly understand his gripe. The creativity on his dunk was second to none. On another note, while watching Cheap Seats I saw an interesting graphic scroll by. It said that Lakers are 1-8 when Kobe and does not lead them in scoring. And if I am not mistaken they have not won a game this year when Lamar Odom takes more than 15 shots. Anyways, here’s the deal for today:
