Basketball Jones

Yeah, that's right - I just named this post after a song from the movie Space Jam. That movie was (and is) awesome. That soundtrack was the first soundtrack my brother and I ever had, so it holds a lot of emotional significance. Anyway, it's heating up in the NBA playoffs with the Conference Finals underway. Being a Creighton grad, I was sad to see Kyle Korver and the Jazz get knocked out by the evil Lakers, but more importantly, quality NBA basketball is back. The storied franchises of the Lakers and Celtics have the possibility to match up in the Finals, which would be sure to bring a lot of viewers back to the league. Seeing such good players bang it out on the hardwood inspires me to get out on the court and launch up a few jump shots myself.
