Spring = Good

I don't know that I have ever appreciated spring more that I have this year. Even though officially it is not here yet, I am really just referring to sunshine and warmer weather. I really do feel like the only two seasons that exist in my mind are winter and summer. Winter is the depressing, frustrating, dark, boring half of the year. Summer is the fun, warm, happy, exciting half. Spring and fall are simply just transitions between the two. So right now it isn't spring to me, it's more like the first few minutes of summer and I am loving it. This week was the first time that I played basketball outside and had a BBQ, and I can't wait til the next time. It really is the little things in life that make the most difference.

Now, on to basketball:

You probably think I'm gonna talk about the Cavs beating Orlando and taking first place in the league. Or the fact that today marks the REAL start of March Madness (sorry Morehead State). But you're wrong. I'm hear to talk Charlotte Bobcats. So maybe they aren't the most successful team in the NBA at 30-38, but they are coming off two huge wins against other sub .500 teams (Raptors and Kings). But I really think it all starts with ownership, and the Cats shine in that department. They not only have the greatest basketball player of all time in Michael Jordan, but they also brought on a man who has had more just as much success in his own industry: Nelly. The only difference between the two is that noone respects Nelly, but that's another discussion. All I'm sayin is that I think Charlotte deserves more face time in the NBA world. Kobe's alright, Dwyane constantly gets to the line without ever being touched, but how many times just Gerald Wallace get thrown into the MVP race? He's picked up the slack nicely since their premier inside man, Sean May, went a packin' to the West Coast. Pay attention, they're going places folks.
