Here here Allan.
Well boys let the fun begin.
TG that layup kobe made where he flashed the lane, held up the ball in front of Howard, then floated and came down and threw it in before he landed definitely rivaled jordans right to left layup. In my opinion it was a much harder shot.
Anyways I am not saying for kids to look up to the guy, but damn he is great baller.
I remember when I was kid… Any sport we played… whiffle ball, hoops, tennis ball baseball, football… we ALWAYS emulated the pros… however I don’t think we idolized or looked up to any of the players as role models. I think you guys know what I mean. I think it is perfectly healthy for my kids to pretend they are Kobe, or LT or even Ray Lewis (who literally has gotten away with being an accessory to murder) as long as that pretend is on the field of play.
As far as Kobe giving an elbow, Kobe is not any dirtier then any player in the league. Basketball is a physical game. It is fast, and one of the problems with it is that the same dimensions of the court have not changed since its inception. However the men who play it are WAY WAY WAY larger and faster then the men who originated the game. These guys are physical marvels and they are confined to a small space at a high speed. In the end it is all scoreboard baby.
All I can say is… when is mini camp!

June 15, 2009 at 1:57 AM #415768CardiffBaseballParticipantFootball it’s still LL season for us coaches on the winning track!!! My team is still playing in CV having fun in Tournament of Champions and all-stars gets started this week.
Son will be 9th grade and starts morning workouts for speed and lifting work 4 days per week early AM. Also summer (loosely HS team) baseball 2 nights a week and Saturday practice. Should be busy summer. I think the weight training goes for two months before they can have real practice. I am not sure what the start date is.
Back to the Lake-show I suppose congrats. I wasn’t pulling for anyone, but it’s clear to me if Cleveland can get a little muscle and length Orlando can be had. You just have to get tough with Dwight, and have some length to defend the shooters. Why the Cavs had Lebron on Skip-to-my-Lou I have no idea.

June 15, 2009 at 7:24 AM #415793Allan from FallbrookParticipantCardiff: Do you have any experience with Velocity’s speed camp in Carlsbad? I’m looking to improve everything from running back burst to offensive line agility and I’ve heard some good things about these guys. I’m wondering if you’ve heard anything and, if so, what?
SDR: When I was a kid, I had a couple of heroes I followed: Mean Joe Greene and O.J. Simpson. Yup, old Orenthal James was one of my heroes. Go figure, huh? Proves your point, though.
