The Next Bus?: I came across a story this morning where Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis says he's like to play in the NFL when he's done in the NBA.
"When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I'll try football," Davis said. "One of my dreams has always been to play football."
Well there's two things wrong with that quote. First off, you will never be an All-Star. Secondly, you will never be a great player. Ever. I can I stress ever? EVER.
You average 5.8 points and 3.5 rebounds a game for your career in roughly 17 minutes a game. You are a roleplayer, you will continue to be a roleplayer and will always be a role player.
Now Davis did play defensive line and running back in high school. Here is some footage of that.
Ron Ron is Back: After the Lakers' overtime win against Houston, Ron Artest had a confession to make.
He wanted to get a little violent.
Artest said the Rockets were getting extra-physical with him and it led to certain thoughts he had to suppress.
"I wanted to (choke Ariza) because he hit me with the elbow," Artest said. "But then I thought about David Stern, and I thought I wasn't going to do this. I got hit with three or four elbows. It's just not fair. I don't want to fight."
Oh Ron, you're so stable. You shave weird patterns into your hair, you choose your number based on Michael Jackson, oh yeah, and this.
If he doesn't explode and cause a controversy before the end of the season, I'll be stunned.
Performance of the Night: Deron Williams - 27 points, nine assists, five rebounds. A big performance in a big game for the Jazz as Utah topped San Antonio. Utah has struggled early on in the season and getting a big win against a Western power will do wonders for Utah in the short term. Honorable mention goes to Carlos Boozer, who had 27 points and 14 rebounds on the night in his best performance of the year.
Game of the Night: Denver (5-0) @ Miami (4-1) - So many great players in one game, there's no way this isn't a game to keep an eye on. Carmelo Anthony is playing out of his mind so far in the early season and has emerged as a very early MVP candidate. There's also Dwayne Wade who is also tearing it up early in the season. Don't forget, these two were taken in the same draft. Denver is looking like a team that could knock the Lakers off in the spring and it'll be interesting to see how they handle a tough road game across the country.
