Player of the D.A.Y.
Hotter than a HIBACHI
The office is a ghost town right now, other than some other magazine doing their secret santa. I wish there was a more amusing player of the D.A.Y., like yesterday when I gave it to God/Jordan. But this is one of those taking care of business days.
Chauncey Billups keyed a Pistons victory in Cleveland over the Cavs. These might be the two best teams in the East, with the Bulls on their way up. By the way, remember when talking about headbands was a big deal? Winning cures everything. And I wouldn’t be performing my pre-holiday duties if I didn’t point out Phil Mushnick’s latest. Is this racist? Just plain ignorant? Whatever it is… yikes. “Vandalize themselves with tattoos.” Merry Christmas.
Anyways, the big game in the East was not exciting. Cleveland-Detroit is supposed to be part of LeBron’s rite of passage, overcoming a better team on his way to ruling the game. Since Benny Headbands left, the task won’t be the same. And the Pistons still won without their old center. Sigh.
So, the Player of the D.A.Y. is Antawn Jamison. 33 and 13, hitting 5 of 8 threes versus defenseless Sacramento. He was hotter than the Hibachi, who only had 30 on 9 of 23 shooting and 5 of 11 threes. I should also point out that we had our SLAM holiday lunch at Benihana’s the other day, where your food is cooked with a hibachi. I referenced Gilbert’s nickname several times, and nobody knew what I was talking about.
Have a Merry X-mas everyone. We’re closed Monday and possibly Tuesday. Unless something really crazy happens.

Jamison is the man.
I remember when we ran track for Quail Hollow Jr. High. Antawn knew he was gonna rock Carolina Blue when he was in 9th grade. Though there was another High-Jumper, Rico Mongo (who broke the school record and cleared 7 feet!), who said he was gonna go to Duke. I wonder what happened to him.

Gilbert Arenas=Ridiculous…he had a very tasteful blog after he notched his 60 point game on Kobe.
Anyone watch Wade give Kobe a clinic in Defense?

Here’s what he wrote about Kobe in his blog (dont know if it’s been posted yet): I did it last year. I did it this year. Two weeks in a row. Me and Kobe Bryant was the only players to do it last year. You know, at the end of the day, all the shots that I take I practice. It’s not like I just go into the game just throwing up shots. I work hard. I’m in the gym every day. I practice my shots. Before every game I shoot 100 threes. You know, I get to the gym, I shoot 100 threes so I feel comfortable taking the shots I take. Out of that whole game I probably took two bad shots. And, for me not to have a conscience? You’re right. When you’re an assassin, you don’t have a conscience. At the end of the day I thought he didn’t have a conscience, but I guess he does. For the best player in the league to downplay what I did … I guess, I don’t know. I give him all the respect in the world. He is the No. 1 player in the league, by far. It’s like that. You don’t need to try to shadow box my 60. It was one of them nights when I was clicking and everything was going in so, I ended up having 60. That’s all there is to it. How can you go back at a guy who scores 45 every night? You can’t. There’s no point of it. There’s no point. We know who he is. I know who he is. I’m a big fan, I’m one of his No. 1 fans, so there’s no point in even throwing shots at him. With a player like him, he just wants that challenge. I know he is going to be ready for Game 2 in Washington. With a player like him, it was his home crowd, they lost. He’s just that fierce competitor. He doesn’t want to get out-showed. He’s the one who everybody’s afraid of. And he’s right.
