Episode IV - A New Hope

So, since the so called "nuclear winter" of our NBA discontent began, there has been a new wrinkle...both sides got back together again to see if they can resolve this dispute before the court system takes ahold and won't let it go. Optimism certainly, but cautious optimism at best. Keep in mind both sides have met multiple times before now and were reportedly "close to getting a deal done" only to end in what can only be called a spectacular failure. But since I comment on all things NBA, here it is. In case you don't follow my Twitter feed (@dubbsaq), I've posted the link to the article from ESPN.com below.

New NBA Lockout talks begin again

In other news, as most of you know, I'm a huge KD fan. Well, huge probably isn't the right word but you get the idea. I've been commenting on his webisode series from time to time that is called "The 35th Hour" and you can catch all 4 of the currently out episodes on YouTube.com. But did you know that LeBron also appears to have a web series (called Striving for Greatness)? Nikebasketball.com has posted on their Facebook page a video of LeBron and KD working out together in Ohio while the lockout continues. Some great footage there, especially of the gym workouts where you can see LeBron working on his perimeter game (which, while edited mind you, looks pretty darn good) and KD doing the same. And you can also get an up close and personal look at KD's new ink, if you into repping Maryland on your back as well. The link for that is below as well.

That's all I got for now. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. With any luck and a lot of hard work, we'll have our NBA back as the first present under our collective Christmas tree.
