Where amazing happens...

I feel bad for LeBron James. This guy has graciously accepted all the accolades poured upon him since before he was drafted. He has indeed produced and proven himself to be one of the best players in the game. A great personality star. Yet, here he is in an NBA conference final and people are being reminded that he is human. He's young, inexperienced. Some are not being so kind. How quickly they turn LeBron. Where's the love for a guy that single-handedly turned a dying franchise around by simply being there? He Made It Better! He amazed us.

It reminds me of the Blazers this year. Look how far we came! People must stop expecting these guys to magically win a championship. After all, there is some serious competition out there and only one prize. The Blazers did accomplish something, they Made It Better! They amazed us.

This is a great great NBA playoff season. Regardless of the Kobe-LeBron commercials (Love the puppets!). Regardless of who is SUPPOSED to win. Regardless of who would make the league more money. Regardless of choosing your winners before the season is even over. It's enjoyable to see that it just doesn't work that way. I for one am cheering for a Denver-Orlando finals simply because it wasn't SUPPOSED to happen. I think a finals like this would indeed Make It Better! It would be a great reminder of why we all love sports like we do. It's where things that are SUPPOSED to happen, don't always. It's where amazing happens.

*note to the NBA. PLEASE STOP SHOWING THE BLAZERS-LA*ERS GAME 7 IN YOUR COMMERCIALS! It's terrorizing Blazer fans!
