07.30.09 [TORONTO]

as of this moment im laying on the floor of my room studying the recent aquisitions of various teams over the summer.

a team that really stuck out to me today was the Toronto Raptors.

today they traded Deaven George & a 2nd round pick for Marco Belinelli (sp?) which is a awesome trade IMO

they also picked up Rasho Nesterovic from the Pacers which is also a great addition

what i love about their newly constructed roster is that like it's teams location...(Canada) it is internationally built from the feet up.

check out their Starting 5

1- Jose Calderon-Spain (the best freethrow shooter in the league last year & top five in apg)

2- Marco Belinelli-Italy (came off the bench for GS averaged 9ppg in 21 minutes of play)

3- Hedo Turkoglu-Turkey (led the Magic to the finals with his 3pt. range and point-man skills)

4- Chris Bosh-USA (a member of the Redeem Team, averaged a double-double)

5- Andrea Bargani-Italy (the Italian Dirk Nowitzki, 7 ft. tall, has 3pt. range and defence)

key reserves

Demar DeRozan

Jarret Jack

Roko Ukic

Rasho Nesterovic

shit..thats as international as it gets

if only they played on nat'l television

then we could really appreciate the game ppl play overseas

just my observations,

you may not find them impressive

but just know they will make some noise next season

7.25.09 [QC]

yesterday me, my mom, Zeina, my Aunt Vee and my cousin NayNae traveled to Charlotte

originally it was planned that we would be in NYC but the trip was cancelled so we opted to stay local

to me this trip revisited my childhood in a way

bc back in the day, Charlotte was my getaway, i normally went to go to Charlotte Hornets games back when they were led by Jamal Mashburn, Eddie Jones, David Wesley, Glen Rice, Bobby Phills, should i go on...?

anyways Charlotte was my city and since i started going back and forth to NY, i just stopped thinking about the QC

the peaceful downtown area

the trill ass bus station

smooth bus-rides w/ a breeze of AC

the new southpark mall
