Heeeeyyyyyy worrrrrld!!! How are you guys? Hope ya’ll got to watch our game against the Celtics Sunday afternoon before the Super Bowl came on. In that third quarter we played about as well as we have all season. I think somebody said we had a 19-0 stretch in that quarter that completely turned the game around.
Afterward everybody was asking me if that was a statement game for us because it was on national TV and it was the Celtics and it was in Boston and yad yada yada. But I think it was a statement to ourselves about how good we can be when we play together, talk on defense and share the ball like we did. When the ball is going in and out, that’s where we’re getting open shots and clean looks on the post. Hopefully, it was a learning game for us.
I know how everybody out there loves the commercials during the Super Bowl, so I hope ya’ll got to see my new McDonald’s commercial with LeBron just before the game came on.
It was pretty tight, huh??? Ya’ll like when ya boy rips the rim down and the backboard just explodes with glass everywhere? That was so much fun to make. I would love to do something like that during a game. I did shake the shot clock loose last year during a playoff game in Cleveland, but I’ve never shattered a backboard during a game. I’ve broken a few rims when I was in high school, but nothing like blowing up the backboard.
Something else for ya’ll to watch out for: Adidas is gonna send me to South Africa this summer to cover the World Cup as a member of the media. They want their basketball guys interviewing soccer players and mixing and matching the sports. I think it will be a lots of fun, but I’ve got to do a lot of research because I don’t know the first thing about soccer, ya’ll?
A fan at our game on Friday night gave me an autographed jersey from Brazil’s soccer team, but I don’t have a clue who it is. I still put it up on my wall of fame with all of the other jerseys that I have.
Well, we got another game Monday against New Orleans. Then, we’ll be in Chicago and Cleveland before the break. All ya’ll little homies watch out for me coming to a city near you. And then thanks to ya’ll’s votes, I’ll be in Big D over the weekend at the All-Star Game. It’s gonna be fun, and I’m looking forward to trying to give back to all of the fans who voted for me. Thanks, you guys.
I’m outta here. Peace out.
