John Calipari is one of the smartest coaches and recruiters in all sports. With the lockout in place, Calipari has welcomed all former Kentucky players to use the Lexington facilities during the lockout. Some of these players have even decided to take some classes to get closer to their degree. These players include John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and Rajon Rondo. Now just think about recruits coming in to visit Kentucky. Calipari gives them a tour of the school and ends it at teh practice facility and says, "have you met John Wall or Rajon Rodon? They'll be here as long as the lock out lasts, and if it lasts over a season, they could be practicing against you." Talk about being star struck on a recruiting visit.
Just this year alone players like Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Michael Gilchrist, and Anthony DAvis will be practicing against NBA first round picks and All Stars if the lockout continues. The guys they'll be practicing against will be better than the guys the play in games. That's how you improve a team.
He also had an alumni game at Rupp Arena against the National Dominican Republic team that he is coaching. Players included young gunners John Wall and Demarcus Cousins, former NBA All Stars Rajon Rondo and Tayshaun Prince, and NBA role players such as Ketih Bogans and Nazr Mohammed. All past Wildcats loved playing in the game and hope they can do it again sometime soon.
Sure everyone in Miami thinks Chris Bosh is the greatest thing since sliced bread because Jeff Green trying to box out is like a deaf man playing Marco Polo. In my eyes, Bosh is just posterize central. Looks like one week in October is going to have its sequel as one week in May.
Last year it was the steal from Jason Williams with the layup, this year it's the mangled elbow and his standing ovation come back. Ice Water. That's it, he's just got Ice Water in his veins. Either way, Rondo finds a way to lift the people of Boston and give the Celtics fans a sense of confidence. Hey Heat get worried! Hide ya kids hide ya wives KG's gonna be dunkin' on everybody. Chris Bosh is officially done for the series as long as KG can breathe. this isn't called Championship City for nothing!
On another note Shaq was back with around eight minutes, and even though he didn't do much I think he could help us in spurts but Jermaine should be starting the rest of the way.
There we go! KG delivers! Big go ahead bucket with under 20 seconds then that hard hat defense. Carmelo had a great night. No biggie Lebron has had plenty of big nights. Same ending baby. Celtics on top and Garnett bringing that hard hat defense. congrats to Rondo with a playoff career high 30 points. Jermaine O'Neal had another strong defensive night with two more blocks, but event though he's starting Big Baby played more minutes than him. Winners Win that's all I gotta say. Spike Lee sweet shades bro.
