Normally I don’t follow soccer too much but the Euro 2008 drew me in a little bit, as does the World Cup every four years. As my whole family background is Polish I obviously rooted for the Poles though I didn’t expect them to go too far. I lost interest once the Polish team got bounced from the tournament but now that the final is set and features one of my most hated national teams, the Germans, I’m back. Even though the German team has a few Polish players I still can’t in good conscious root for them. I’ve got to root for the western Europeans and hope Spain beats up on Germany! Vamanos Espana!

Haha, excellent.
This championship still feels a little bit surreal.

With the last pick in the NBA draft, the Boston Celtics drafted J.R. Giddens, a New Mexico Lobo (and former Kansas Jayhawk). As I haven’t been intensely watching college basketball the past few years I wasn’t aware of this kid but from some of his youtube videos he’s clearly a very diesel and athletic basketball player.
Check it out, J.R. can fly!
Note the comment from DizZLEFosHiZZLE34 from a week ago [”the c’s should pick this kid up with the last pick in the first round”] on that above video…looks like Dizzle either works for the C’s or is a serious draft prophet.
Here’s another sick dunk by J.R., this one being featured on ESPN’s top ten list (coming in at #7).
Nice! I’m getting pumped to see him in some Celtic green!
Not only can J.R. dunk, he’s got a nice shot too. He shot over 50% from the field and 33% from behind the arc. Here’s a nice three minute long montage of J.R.’s monster dunks and sweet shots.
The analysts are saying Mr. Giddens has “character issues” but with the ubuntu vibe around here I’m not too concerned. I’m going to trust Danny Ainge and if Danny thinks J.R. is good, then that’s good enough for me.
Here’s a final clip of J.R. and one of his Lobos teammates during midnight madness. A nice showcase of the skills he brings to the court.
Let’s go Celtics!

Just a quick post to celebrate the Boston Celtics historic, record-breaking 17th NBA championship. Congratulations guys, you certainly deserve it!
I’ll post some pictures, analysis of the game and series and my experience tomorrow. For now, I’ll let Mr. Brian Scalabrine break down why the Boston Celtics should have been the favorites all along.
You’re one of a kind Scal.
