Now What?

Now that the NBA Finals are complete and we have a new champion, now what? No men's basketball for 5 months.

To fill my Basketball Jones, I will be tuning in to check out the WNBA, and supporting their 2008 champion Detroit Shock. For anyone who hasn't given the WNBA a look, please do so. The game is still the game, so tune in to see them do their thing.

I will be playing as much outdoors as my knees can take. There is nothing like playing outside and hearing the sound of chain nets, if you can find them anymore. I will also be watching Black Magic, reading books, and attending AAU tournaments all in the effort to satisfy my Basketball Jones. November can't come soon enough.

Dwight Howard

D you are a very good young player that has a very bright future. This summer watch tape of Patrick Ewing steal his jumper, Hakeem Olajuwon steal his footwork, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar steal the sky hook, David Robinson steal his free throw shooting. Combine their unique talents with those you already possess and the sky is the limit for you. There are plenty of other examples to watch and learn from, and I am sure you will because that just seems like the type of young man your are. All the best to you, keep smiling and enjoying the game.

Baller-In-Chief

If you are like me, you like the fact that President Barack Obama is a baller. He enjoys shooting the rock just as much as many of us do, and follows the game as we know from his NCAA bracket. If you like to follow what President Obama is doing in and around the basketball court check out Baller-In-Chief blog http://baller-in-chief.com/ by Claude Johnson, it is well worth reading.
