The week that was

Your boy's in sick bay right now, and with the exception of sharp tummyaches, this is a much-needed break from everything.

My Harlem Globetrotters story aired on 24 Oras last Monday and it kicked ass. I supervised editing and post prod and it turned out great. The video was maximized and I even got my dad and little brother some TV exposure. That was a heckuva experience, watching the Trotters do their thing. Handles Franklin is the shit!

So far my basketball thoughts have been spot on, save for a couple of points in the cavs-Magic matchup. The Magic backcourt has so far outplayed the Cleveland guards and Shard and Turk have been posing more problems than I actually thought they would. I never saw them taking that 3-1 lead. But hey, that's why it's called armchair analysis haha. If the Cavs wake up and play aggressive and emotional basketball, they might pull it off like the Lakers in 2006.

Speakin of the Lakers, I remembered their X-Factor: Lamar Odom. As in the lane slashin', reboundin', slam-dunkin' Lamar Odom. Get your head in the game big fella! If the shock troopers score like 30 points, that's gonna be huge for Pau and Kobe.

Speakin of 'ball I played five-on-five fullcourt with my churchmates last Wednesday. It was the farewell game for one of my ball playing brothers, Adel, who's going to be assigned to a different parish coz he's serving the Lord as a Pastor now. When Youth group basketball began, he and I were the little brothers. Now we're literally the elder statesmen showing our younger brothers how the game should be enjoyed - fun fellowship. May He bless you wherever you go.

Man I haven't played full court in a LONG ASS TIME. I was huffing and puffing after three trips down. It's going to take a while before I can run with the young cats again. My shooting was off, went 0-2 on jumpers, but my driving game was there along with the rebounding. Fortunately most of my churchmates still have trouble understanding the concept of DEFENSE and CHALLENGING SHOTS, so everytime I took my 150+ pound ass to the hole I faced very little D.

Unfortunately, I can't play for the next week or so because of something I ate. I haven't eaten solid food since yesterday and it sucks because I feel so weak. But hey, it's just like sem break. More time to watch the playoffs live.

Be easy!
