The King vs MJ

    It's time for a sports related question. Who's better? More accurately put, "which game winning shot is better?" I personally don't think that there's any contest. 

Okay, our contestants are the King, LeBron James and his game 2 winning shot from last night. A tough shot indeed as the defender was all up in his grill. But is it really better or even as good as Michael Jordan's game winner against Cleveland from 20 years earlier? I say no way!

      LeBron's shot was good, but here's why it is not better than Jordan's. Jordan's shot was with a series on the line. The Bulls of this generation had never been out of the first round yet and it was the decisive game 5. Winner moves on loser goes home. It was also on the road for Jordan and crew. Jordan also had to split a double team AND he was sick prior to the game. 

     For LeBron, one could argue that the series outcome was dependent on this game, but in reality it was only a game 2 at home. The Cavs have had success before, even making it to the finals previously. 

    Enough talk. Watch the shots for yourself and compare.

Counting Down!

   Wow! Times seems to fly by in the short term, while looking at the big picture it seems to drag on. No, I'm not talking about a reversal of Einstein's theory of relativity. I'm talking about how there's only a few days left before the end of the school year and only a couple of weeks before Sandra and I head off to Africa! So, in a micro-sense of anticipation, it seems like time is flying by and that I'm not really prepared as much as I would like to be for either. In the macro-sense of anticipation, time is traveling slowly b/c I never thought either event would get here.

    I hope all of you are enjoying the warmer weather and enjoying the beautiful creation that Father has made.
