As the NBA Finals came to a close this week, sports reporters questioned is 'Kobe now better than Michael?' My question is simply WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT? Its not even a conversation starter, but yet it's been the dominate question now and throughout the Finals. Sure Kobe has a sweeter touch from the three point line, sure he has superior handles over MJ, but 'NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!' Michael not only played in an era where the game was tougher, but the rules were cater to big men. He was never on a team with three future hall of famers at once, and more importantly he never walked off the big stage a loser!! Had it not been for his thirst for challenges, and an egotistical/cheap owner MJ and the Bulls could have easily won 10 rings. I have no problem saying the guy is hands down the second best shooting guard that ever graced the planet earth, but some people are trying to put this guy on a planet that is only inhibited by one.
Speaking of other Planets...that one you see to the far left is Planet Tiger. We'll he ever be able to right the ship. Many questions abound this past week on rather Phil was ready to take over the number one ranking! Really not sure what that means if he does. Can remember the Great Georgia Tech Alumni David Duval Holding and battling El Tigre for that spot for some years as well, and we all know how NUTS he had to be to think that would last. Has anyone heard from VJ since he held that spot for a year? NO, I didn't think so. I mean it doesn't really matter who holds that spot. We all know who the people are paying to see, and we all know why! Plus golf is all about the winnings and top dollar amounts on the year if you ask me. Even in the years that he didn't finish number 1, El Tigre was always at the top of that chart. Buddha knows he's gonna be needing that cash with the alimony and child support my dude is gonna have to shell out at the end of his personal issues. I'm talking P-DIDDY CHILD SUPPORT. Hopefully he can get that straight as well as his game. As for Phil... at least he's not crazy and he's still relevant, but he'll have to settle for number two for now. Even though Tiger is not playing his best golf, he and Phil finished tied for 4th in the US Open. EL TIGRE lives to see another week as the number 1 golfer in the world. Funny thing is now he's only ranked 113th on the 2010 money chart. Which list do you think he'd rather be at the top of? Hmmmmm!
The World Cup finish out it's second week of games, and my soccer interest is up! I'm definitely trying to find me a VUVUZELLA, but not sure if South Africa is where I want to go to get it. But I'm wondering how can we market the European Club Teams and Leagues to get Americans to watch? I've been to many of houses the past two weeks that have been blaring soccer games throughout the house. I truly believe that if there were more American born players on European teams, and a better marketing strategy by there league, that the interest here would elevate. There's already a knowledge of the Euro players, so there is no reason why there football can't be as global as our football. As for the games in the cup...I gotta say that I have lost all respect for Lionel Messi. Your the so called best player in the world and you're complaining about the Vuvuzella's....'C'MON MAN' are you serious? Have you ever heard of the Cameron Crazies? PHILLY FANS of any sport? You would do better 'Blaming It On The Rain'.
That's all the knowledge I can leak for now. You'll have to tune in to the next episode of The LuckDawg and Rhino Show for more of my thoughts...please save your pennies...this ones on me!!
