His Courtship. His Call.

Prepare yourselves for this summer because much like the past two, you are going to hear about one trending topic. It probably won't be about Brett Favre but that of LeBron James. If that's too hard to swallow then you should stay away from TV, radio, newspaper, and even the internet because this story is media friendly and is likely to force us to commit mass suicide (during and after). It has been more than 2 years in the making and the very exciting part is that it's finally here. Coverage will be anywhere you can look.
I am preparing to post a series of blog entries that could each describe LeBron's possible fate. The future of LeBron James belongs solely to LeBron James and he will influence this free agency class drastically this off-season. He can bring your fanhood tears of joy or tears of pain. Where he decides to call his home when next season tips off will obviously impact the culture of the NBA for years to come. The LeBron Campaign has already started and if you miss its probably because you're socially retarded or dead. No in between.
The wooing begins now. But first a few suggestions:

• Name your babies after LeBron
• Change your street names in honor of LeBron
• Leave your first born on the street for LeBron to choose among to keep
• Offer LeBron any and everything you have
• Give LeBron absolute power of everything you've had, have or will have
• WWLBJD (What Would LeBron James Do) and then do it for him

The rest is in your play. Do not screw things up or you'll spend the rest of your life wondering 'what if?'

Seth Douglass Galaviz: Where Dedication Happens.

Suspense Much? The Prom King.

Just like the race for the MVP award, the crowning for Prom King and Prom Queen are nothing more than a popularity contest. But in defense of this, the usual victors have done something right to earn their popular status. If you don't believe this theory then you don't believe that Barack Obama or any past president of the United States earned their title. The world we live in is a democracy, but in Kevin Tran's case this is a tyranny.
Kevin Tran? If you haven't had the chance to experience a few minutes with "Thanh Long Ong" then consider yourself unfortunate. You feed off his presence unknowingly. Until this day most of his peers have no idea of this fact. But this is a result of the secret identity Kevin Tran possesses. And yes. I am about to reveal it. Brace yourself: Tran is actually a ninja assassin. This means he is not only a ninja but he is a ninja who kills other ninjas in honor of the Ninjahood.
Now you're probably thinking to yourself, 'This guy is a racist.' But if you found that the least bit humorous then so are you my sincere reader.
Much like the NBA's reigning MVP this year, Kevin Tran should be the unanimous winner. Why? Don't ask why. Just read. And for that matter subscribe to my blog.
I'm about to give you a few reasons why Kevin Tran will win this year's 2010 Chavez High School Prom King:

1. He is Kevin Tran.
2. Kevin Tran has an entire blog post dedicated to him.
3. The ladies love Kevin Tran.
4. The homosexual men love Kevin Tran.
5. The unhomosexual men love Kevin Tran.
6. He has a dog named Bentley that he hasn't eaten yet.
7. He is Kevin Tran.
8. Seth left that infamous scar next to his left eye and I feel kind of sorry for him.
   

Understand yet?
If not then continue reading. If so then keep reading anyways because I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of this post. Kevin Tran has already teleported away with his crown. And he didn't need to clinch the NBA's best record to do so. The only reason they're letting other people run against him is because of the satisfaction he is going to get beating the people who think they can beat him. If you think you know Kevin Tran then go kill yourself right now because I wouldn't want to encourage someone to go on with the rest of their life with false ideas.
Prom Queen is an irrelevant topic as of now. They might as well call the Prom Queen: "The hopefully sexy girl that's worthy enough to wear a fake plastic crown with Kevin Tran and dance with him alone." The landslide this thing holds is so unbelievable that there is a chance Kevin may lose for thee sole reason that there will be so many pity votes that they could outweigh the earned ones.
This race is simply unfair. Kevin Tran is to Chavez High School what LeBron James is to the NBA. Second place is at best what Paul Peirce is to the NBA. And that's not a compliment.
If Kevin's beastfulness translated into stats in the NBA he would be averaging anywhere from 33 ppg, 11 rpg and 11 apg on 59.9% shooting from 3-point land.
Watching him you can't help but wonder to yourself if Jesus Christ could be more Kevin Tran than Kevin Tran.
Kevin Tran isn't your ordinary asian. His parents were both born Vietnamese. But Kevin has developed the usual habits of a Chinese kid in Taiwan. But his sense of style is like that of a Japanese. But most of his friends at school are Hispanic and Black. In fact Kevin Doesn't even associate himself with the asian kids that attend his school. Is it because he thinks he's better than them? No way. Kevin knows he's better than them.
Prom is May 14, 2010 and no matter what the results say Kevin Tran will always be this year's true Prom King. so when you fill in the ballots this year vote smart. Because Kevin is a ninja assassin and he will know if you don't vote for him.

Kevin Tran for Prom King!

Orlando/Atlanta Series Preview

The Orlando Magic, obviously have high goals after failing to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in last year's NBA Finals. The Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Their goals seem a lot more easier to satisfy. Just a few seasons ago both teams struggled to make it to the postseason. But after several years of a building process and key moves to their roster, they have both become respectable teams. While they both share homes in the NBA Southeast's Division, they have no history of a rivalry. At least not yet. Th reason for me writing this preview is mainly for the fact that I want to document my bold prediction. I want to clear any air up about the Magic's success in last year's playoffs. They are not the same team that made last season's Finals. Jameer Nelson is healthy and is on a mission, They have no Rafer Alston. They have no Hedo Turkoglu. Vince Carter is not Hedo and Rashard Lewis is much easier to expose now that Hedo is gone and a lot less productive or deadly. The Hawks unnoticeably added 6th-man wonder Jamal Crawford to their core for virtually nothing more than rarely used guards. The Breakdown: This series will not come down to individual match ups. However there are X-Factors to the series. Watch the Josh Smith/Rashard Lewis face off, this will be crucial. When Lewis strikes you'll feel it and it'll hurt a lot. J-Smoove's main goal is try to limit Lewis's opportunities while providing extra offense that the Hawks may need down the stretch. If he can not do either then the Magic sure will capitalize. The bench play will also be an important key in the series. The Hawks need to outshine the Magic once the reserves check in the game. However, the main recipe for success of either team will be determined by big man play. Al Horford and Dwight Howard are both All-Star centers. Horford is a young asset to the Atlanta's future and has come on in game play since being named an All-Star but his impact on the court can be filled if absent. Dwight Howard though is too much of a presence to replace. If not on the court, the Magic can hold on for a short period but will eventually break down. Both are legit (not an understatement) defenders in this league but are very distinctive in their own repsective manner. Dwight is a beastful help defender while Horford is a "straight up guard you man down low in the post" type of blue collared player. It would be wise if Mike Woodson, the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks, to get the ball to Horford early down low and to go to work on Howard in an attempt to get him into early foul trouble and have him going from x-factor to no factor. Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Orlando Magic, doesn't have the same luxury. We should see a rotation of guards a lot to try to slow down Joe Johnson and Crawford on the court.
This series should be fun and memorable. Maybe even a start to a new rivalry as the Magic try to accomplish a goal that they were unable to last year and with the Hawks trying to add to an agenda that may surprise a few fans. The Hawks in 6.
