D-Wade is BACK!!!!

I've seen all 5 exhibition games for team USA's Men's Basketball team and the first 3 games for the tournament (I taped them all because there's no way I'm waking up at 8am, unless I have to ). Today's game was the most meaningful of the three since team USA lost to Greece 2 years ago. There were different circumstances back then. Team USA would throw its best players with any real preparation. Dwyane Wade was coming off a NBA title with the Heat and was enjoying himself. Greece came prepared and shocked Team USA. This year, like the late Notorious B.I.G. use to say, things done changed. The point guard position is better and deeper (with Jason Kidd, who probably shouldn't be starting, Chris Paul and Deron Williams). There are many explosive scorers (Lebron, Kobe, Carmelo). The one that I am very excited about is Wade. In a span of two years, he was burned out and injury prone, with the knee and shoulder injuries. I didn't want him to participate in the Olympics, but I'm happy he is. He looks stronger, faster, and is playing great D. In today's game vs Greece, in the second quarter, Wade had three of the most spectacular assists I have ever seen, including one where he steals the ball, saves it from going out of bounds by throwing it near the basket and Kobe Bryant dunking it. Straight FILTH. I couldn't stop screaming. I can't wait until the regular season starts. I know the Heat may not do so well, but seeing Wade with Michale Beasley and Shawn Marion could put alot of butts in the seat to an already bad fan base in South Florida.



Side Notes: I read about a fight that took place at Dolphins camp. I'm going to the evening practice, so hopefully another fight breaks out.



If the Marlins do not score many runs, I will FOREVER say that "What if Manny was here?" 16 RBIs on 12 games with LA. DAMN!!!!!!!!!



This is mt first blog, and hopefully it wont be my last.
