Some Thoughts...

Watch Out, Nike
Wow. Just wow. Does anyone remember the Gilbert Arenas gun incident? Sure you do. And I bet you know how it ended, too, right? Well, apparently Nike needs a reminder. Here's some of the report, courtesy of ESPN.com:

Bryant's blurb says: "I'll do whatever it takes to win games. I don't leave anything in the chamber."
The chamber in a gun is the compartment that holds the bullet before it is fired.
Commissioner David Stern has probably had enough public image problems lately, and this Nike ad doesn't help at all. Let's just hope this doesn't end those puppet commercials, they are way too cool.

Awkward, Much?
Just when I thought the Raptors-Knicks game was over, I realized it wasn't.

In what was a great game for both teams, the Raptors came out victorious with the help of Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu. But Hedo saved his best for last in a post game interview with TSN reporter Jack Armstrong.

Armstrong: You came out tonight, early, aggressive. What was different for you tonight in terms of setting the tone with your game in this game?
Turkoglu: Ball.

That had to be the most awkward position for the reporter, but it made my day.
Here's the video:
