Well, now that the Carmelo stuff is out of the way I want to give my take on a couple other NBA issues because they have been on my mind today and since I'm in such an NBA state of mind what better time than now to discuss these tidbits of info, let's begin!
- Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan says he's done with the dunk contest because of it becoming a prop dunk contest and he's not into the props because he's a dunker. I can understand where DeRozan is coming from because he had one of the best dunks of the night and all anyone can talk about after is how Blake Griffin jumped over the lowest part of a car from inside the foul line, it ain't right I tell you. I can sympathize with DeMar because the dunk contest used to be about bringing your talent and your creativity and seeing what you got, now all you gotta do is get a cupcake and a teddy bear and a phone booth and you're guaranteed a win. There's something about a great dunk with no frills attached, just natural ability, but it seems like the NBA is getting away from that is recent years.
- There are reports floating around that Allen Iverson was found on Sunday night in a bar in Atlanta watching the All-Star game by himself wearing sweatpants. Sigh, I'm a huge AI fan and honestly, the people that are calling him out on Twitter because they feel like they can need to take a step back and evaulate their own lives before trying to act like big shots when it comes to other's. And regarding Iverson, it's been a long, hard and tough fall from grace for 'The Answer' and it looks like playing in Turkey wasn't the answer for him either, pun intended. I just hope that Iverson can find some peace in his life because it's not right that a bunch of these hype Twitter losers have decided to call out Iverson just to gain couple followers. Now that's lame.
