Das Boot!
Don Imus got canned today. Couldn’t see that one coming. I am completely flabbergasted by the fact that CBS would cut ties and run, especially when two of their main corporate sponsors, Staples and Proctor & Gamble, bailed on them earlier in the week. (That’s sarcasm, folks.)
In other non-racism related notes, I watched the Kings-Spurs game last night, and felt compelled to pat myself on the back. During the second half, I was watching a talented, young big man hustle after every loose ball and put up extremely solid numbers against the Spurs (15 pts on 7-9 shooting and 11 rebounds). I kept thinking to myself, “Why do I recognize this guy?” Then it hit me. I KEPT CALLING FOR TEAMS TO DRAFT HIM IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THIS PAST NBA DRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was Justin Williams from the University of Wyoming. The same guy that averaged nearly 5 blocks per game, and had per-minute rebound averages that were off-the-charts in the Mountain West. He still hasn’t fully developed his offensive game, but neither have most of the centers in the NBA anyway.
It blows my mind that these things continue to happen in the NBA. Someone will take a chance on the headcase/pothead from Boston College who got kicked off of the team for causing too much trouble. Instead that same team could have taken Justin Williams last season and gotten the exact same type of game without any of the problems. And believe me, the B.C. Williams will cause problems. It takes a heck of a lot of trouble to get kicked off the B.C. basketball team.
Told you so.
