Memories...

So, as promised...I am going to do my best to make waves with this here NBA blog. But since I have little to write on these days, I thought I would crank up the way back machine and throw down a few of my fondest memories. For those of you who have played a team sport, you know there is nothing like the camaraderie you get when you fight, sweat, and (sometimes) bleed with your team. For good or bad, right or wrong, win or lose, you are with them and they are with you and that's what its all about. My rec league team (Gridlock/Freeballers) were a heck of a group of guys and we did battle on the hardwood together, and I wanted to recognize them for some of the best times I've ever had.

Friends become family real quick when you go through some crazy days or nights like we did, and I'm proud to say some of them are still close today. Emotions get hot, and while we didn't always play our best ball, we did always put forth effort for each other. And I'd step onto the hardwood again anytime, with any of them. Like they say in "Blackhawk Down" - sometimes its just about the man standing next to you. And that's it. If you get it, I don't have to say no more. If you don't get it...well you never will and there's no point in me trying to explain it any further.

Long live Gridlock and the Freeballers!

Coming soon...

What's up everyone? Just a quick hit...the Corner Three is going to be back real soon, and better than ever - more hoops, more of the time. Sorry for the long hiatus, but even with the lockout, there's lots to talk about. So we gonna be talking.

Look for more to come in the next few weeks! Thanks for sticking around.
