Man all I gotta say is this is so frustrating! Today I was so bored and I was so itching to go to the Rec Center to start working out again. But dang it, I can't tempt myself if I am underestimating the extent of my injury. I got my MRI film back and I asked for a copy of the notes of what the doc said who did the MRI on me. It's tearing me apart because one sheet sounds like my knee is all good while the other says it is really bad. I already got Dr. Kim's opinion and she is leaning more on the bad parts. Man the suspense is killing me to wait till Monday morning to find out what the specialist says. No matter what though odds are you can bet I'll be getting a 3rd opinion.

You know what else is frustrating, is the fact that watching the T-Wolves vs. Lakers game. The game had so much drama, and it just made me want to go out to the park and start balling. Driving home from campus today, I saw one guy just shooting around at one of the new b-ball parks around here. I am so pumped for the NBA playoffs because all the guys but one, I've been trying to model my game after. Watching T-Mac, Kobe, KG, and AI is so frustrating because I can't play. Another thing is, you know after watching tonight's Laker's game, I gotta say that the ugliest player in the NBA has to be Mark Madsen. I practically jumped off my couch, when KG blocked the snot out of his shot. I was so pumped that I started to talk trash to the tv thinking Madsen can hear me.

After the game, Kenny Smith said something interesting and I gotta agree with this too. He said that their are 3 levels in which players play on, they either play at a championship level, a playoff level, or a I'm going home, gone fishing level.

Which brings me to this thought I had last Saturday at b-ball. I love the fact that when we're playing ball that whoever guards me is so focused on shutting me down. All they can think about is shutting me down as in not scoring any points. Like they don't care if I get assists just as long as it is not points on them. It goes to show how much some people understand about the game. I mean to me getting assists is as good as me getting 2 points on my own. It's like I can still dominate the game without scoring, but you can bet the game is close you know who is gonna get the ball. It's like people think that a dominating player is someone who can score 50 points in a game and that's it. I mean hello, Ben Wallace dominates the game without scoring, John Stockton as well. So just remember, assists are just as good as points, and their is always being a dominating player down at the other end of the court.

Yup, you can tell that I am frustrated because all I blogged about is b-ball and the fact that it is like 3:20 a.m. Gosh I can't sleep without playing a little now. Ahhhhhh I don't know how I'm gonna be able to contain myself to stay home on Saturday. Gosh is Mark Madsen an ugly player or what?
