lebron james needs his own tv show

first of all, thank you nbc for completely botching the usa argentina basketball broadcast. why does everyone (including the usa) hate the us basketball team?

whatever. i still enjoy them. one thing i have really enjoyed in particular is watching lebron james and seeing how hilarious the guy is. espn is currently running some episodes of road to redemption. basically, they follow team usa with cameras as they get ready for the olympics - and lebron is always singing, dancing, goofing around, etc.

you need an example? this actually happened during the game.

Manu Ginobili was shooting free throws, and LeBron was chatting away. Kobe had been talking to the opponents in Spanish, and LeBron said something or other to Kobe and then added “make sure they understand that.” The idea being, that Bryant was to translate some trash talk for James. Hilarious.

heres the audio clip (around the 19-20 second mark):

seriously, get this guy his own tv show. id watch it for sure.

team usa is very good at dunking

so good in fact, that if the olympics could be won solely on dunks, we would definitely win gold. lebron james would be mvp of the all dunk team. unfortunately, i dont think gold can be won by dunking all the time, so we might need to start playing better.

things we are good at:

• dunking
• layups
• blocking shots
• being fast
• looking mean
• having awesome looking uniforms
• picking up stupid fouls

things we are not good at:

• shooting mid range jumpers
• shooting 3 pointers
• shooting free throws
• ok fine, shooting in general

i understand that the ball is a little bit smaller in international basketball, but does it really make that big of a difference?

heres something else i noticed. there i was, watching the game, when this guy checks in for the greek team:

the first thing that ran through my mind?

holy crap. shaq hates kobe so much that he joined the greek squad to play him! this brings the kobe shaq feud to a whole nother level!

turns out it wasnt usa shaq, but greek shaq. some guy named sofoklis schortsanitis. whatever. ima call him greek shaq.

also, happy birthday to my sister. welcome to your mid 20s.
