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.

sometimes things were way better back in the day

celtics vs lakers in the nba finals is starting today. now, i have very fond memories of the nba finals, as they were some of my earliest memories with basketball. i really hope the series lives up to the hype.

back in the day, once i heard the nba on nbc opening song, i knew it was on like donkey kong. id get so pumped/psyched id have goosebumps and start pacing around my living room, driving my parents nuts. man that opening back in the day was awesome.

back in the day:

these days, the finals are broadcast on abc, and their opening is well, definitely not as spectacular.

now:

*barf* enjoy the finals. i really hope the big ticket gets his ring. will be out at the boardwalk. come join me and have some coors light with me.
