So I am off all next week. Is there anything more depressing than taking a week off and just waking up in your apartment and not some resort? But whatever, I got an agenda next week and that is to land a fucking J O B, before I start playing in traffic blindfolded and sippin on a wine cooler. I will most likely hook up my old school Nintendo, try to beat Contra with 3 guys(impossible) while drinking Bud Heavys. Anyways....
If you watched Ray Allen break the 3pt record last night and didnt either, get goosebumps, get a little blood flow(thats a boner) or tear up a bit, then you are not human. I will admit, I welled up a little. Just seeing a guy break a record and knowing that guy did it right every day is kind of cool. Ray got up everyday, shot a basketball nearly every day for the last 15 days and did it the right way. He didn't go the Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire route, he just did it right. RESPECT. Plus I know I can relate a little bit with Ray and shooting the 3 because I was the Wakefield Basketball Association 3pt shootout champ when I was 12. I remember like it was yesterday. I lit it up the first couple rounds and advanced to face sharp shooting Shawn Wallace in the finals. He was like the Dale Ellis for my age. Just lights out. Best day of my basketball career.
But last night watching Ray Allen it made me think of his place in all time NBA Live players. Now NBA Live was the NHL 94 for basketball fans. Epic battles in my parents basement between my brother, my friends, my brothers friends. It has to still be a top 5 video game of all time. Yes I said ALL TIME. So here are my Top 5 NBA Live 95 Players.
5. Tracy Murray Portland Trailblazers- Cals put up 200 pts with the guy in a single game. LIGHTS OUT.
4. Latrell Spreewell Golden State Warriors-Guy could shoot, throw it down, slap the floor and play some defense. With a squad that had Webber, Hardaway and Mullin, he was the best. Just had skillz....he deserves the'z'
3. Mitch Richmond- The Kings sucked back then, but Mitch Richmond made it awesome to be the Kings. He could shoot from anywhere, steal the ball which was impossible to do in the game, but more importantly, guy just shot lights out all the time, especially from the angle. Do it. He wont miss.
2. Shawn Kemp- BADASS. Dunked from anywhere on the floor and always, always, always pointed at your after he dunked on your in the game. Alley Oops everytime down the floor. Just a man child.
1.Mark Price- White guy. LIGHTS OUT from the top of the 3pt arc and impossible to stop at the Gund Arena. There is even a video dedicated to him on Youtube. Other people fuckin understand where Im coming from.....
Done. Like I said I am off all next week and should be writing more than usual seeing I have nowhere to go, no girl to impress on Valentines Day and I have no money. Pick a bar and Ill meet you there.
