We, the good folks of OSD would like to congratulate Barack H. Obama on becoming the 44th President of the United States.
With that being said, we plan on mailing a pair of Nike Air Command Force sneakers to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. so that when the 'Baller-in-Chief' is ready for the OSD Basketball Tournament, his kick-game is as stoic as he is.
The NBA is dealing with the fall-out from the Tim Donaghy FBI investigation that he bet on games that he officiated and his possible ties to the Mafia. Yes, the Mafia and not the Brooklyn-based Junior Mafia. This has to be an interesting time for the League and Commissioner David Stern.
When Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns heard about the alleged betting and point-shaving, he made reference to game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the eventual Champions- San Antonio Spurs, and his Phoenix Suns. Take a look at the video on YouTube.com and tell me what you think.
If you’ve been reading Obsessive Sneaker Disorder for some time, you know that we here at OSD are very proud of our fellow Virgin Islander Tim Duncan. So, with Tim winning his 4th ring in the past 9 years, we were ecstatic when the San Antonio Spurs won the NBA Championship on Thursday (14th).
We’ve read the comparisons of Tim to Shaquille O’Neal, wondering who the better player is. Well, Shaq is a true center while Tim is truly a forward who happens to also play the center position from time-to-time.
If I were a betting man, I’d take Tim over Shaq any day. Not solely because he’s from the VI, rather I see Tim as a more versatile player who knows how to find the open man and makes everyone around him better. Shaq, on the other hand, has an ego that doesn’t quit and a body that is deteriorating quickly. Let’s face it, Shaq is too heavy and needs to loose weight like most Americans. Maybe Shaq’s Big Challenge, which will air six-episodes on ABC, will do him and the kids some good, fitness wise.
Tim may not have the most sculpted body nor have the demeanor of an NBA superstar, but was he does possess is a humility and talents that transcend the game of basketball (the key word being transcend). He knows that playing basketball is his job, but he also knows that there is so much more to life, such as family, community and a belief in God.
So, if you have an opportunity to meet Mr. Duncan, don’t be afraid to, as we say in the Virgin Islands, “hail him up” and say, “Thank you” for being a positive role model and the epitome of a team player.
