Ray Allen

Anyone that knows me knows that I love watching some of the top high school players in the country before they become really famous. You can tell a lot about a player by how they act before the spotlight gets increasingly bright. Lebron James was always the type of defer to his teammates, which shouldn’t surprise anyone that he went to Miami to “play with his friends.” When Tim Tebow was at Nease high school, he played at least half the season with a broken leg. Again, behavior like that shouldn’t surprise you when he’s putting his body on the line in a preseason game with the Broncos.

The last game 7 that the NBA offered its fans was about as memorable as Rick Brunson’s entire NBA career. It was the steady Duncan, Spurs versus the no offense having Pistons, and I as an avid Kobe Bryant fan hated both teams so much, I totally avoided watching the series at all. Being the avid Kobe fan that I was, when he made it back to the finals, and this time to face the Celtics, I was excited at the idea of him finally regaining his finals mortality with a Celtic sweep. But that didn’t happen, instead the Celtics destroyed the Lakers in six games, the following year the Lakers came back and reclaimed their title, but be honest was there ever any real drama in that series?
