Wow, that was fucking fast!

His name is Kenny George.

Height: 7-8
Weight: 360 lbs

And he is still growing. Damn!

He can literally dunk the ball without leaving his feet. He is a defensive stopper. He can block shots easily without jumping. It won’t be long till he gets drafted in the Nba.

He has a 93 inch wingspan and wears a size 28 shoe.

His biggest weakness though is his speed. He is very slow running the floor. Much slower than Yao Ming. He gets tired easily, so he can’t pretty much play extended minutes.

Watch this giant in action:

Look at him tower over all those players.

How are they supposed to defend this guy?

He dunked the ball with one foot slightly lifted off the ground. Damn, no effort at all.

Nba fans! One more day to go before Nba tip-off!

Watch Cleveland Cavaliers vs. defending champs – Boston Celtics opening game. It’s going to be an intense battle.

I’m rooting for the cavs. Go L-Train!

They finally did it! Team USA reclaimed the Olympic GOLD in Beijing after a thrilling 118-107 victory over Spain.

Culminating a three-year mission to end years of embarrassment, the U.S. team survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 in the gold-medal game Sunday. It was a close game from start to finish, with Spain playing very well despite Team USA’s suffocating defense. My fellow Olympians Lebron, Kobe and Dwyane lead Team USA to it’s biggest win in U.S. Olympic men’s basketball history.

Wade scored 27 points for the Americans, Kobe Bryant added 20 points and Lebron James contributed 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assist. Spain played extremely well against the team that defeated them in a 37 points blowout during the preliminary rounds. Spain exploited Team USA’s weakness by playing zone defense, but unfortunately for them the three brightest stars of Team USA exploded in the final minutes to grab a win. Rudy Fernandez (not the action star) scored 22 points, Pau Gasol had 21 and his mongoloid brother Marc Gasol only manage 11 points and 4 rebounds for the Spanish.

“That’ll probably go down as one of the greatest Olympic games ever”, Lebron James said after the game.

The moment he received his medal, James reached down, grabbed it and stared at it. He held it inches from his eyes and just gazed at it, transfixed. And when they handed him a bouquet of red roses (wtf?), he held them to his nose and inhaled two huge breaths, the sweet smell of victory filling his nostrils and lungs.

CONGRATULATIONS! TEAM USA IS NOW OFFICIALLY REDEEMED!

They did it! USA have finally beaten Argentina! its ’04 Olympic nemesis. (I’m taking about basketball)

The Americans ended their streak of final four flops and Argentina’s hopes of an Olympic gold-medal repeat, starting fast and finishing strong in a 101-81 semifinal victory Friday.

The Argentines, with Ginobili’s flair and Scola’s force, won gold in 2004 and silver in the 2002 world championships, beating the United States in both tournaments. The victory in Indianapolis was the first time a U.S. team lost with NBA players.

The climb back to the top is nearly complete. One more win and U.S. basketball is golden again. Dubbed “The Redeem Team”, the americans were up by 21 early in the second quarter. But they went ice cold against Argentina’s zone, committed some silly fouls that gave away free points at the line, and saw the lead trimmed all the way down to 46-40 on a basket by Scola in the final minute of the half. Then in the 3rd and 4th quarter Lebron James and team USA came alive blowing off Argentina in the final minutes to advance to the final round of the tournament.

As usual, my close friend Lebron James was spectacular. James hit two quick 3-pointers in the fourth to extend the lead to 84-66.

Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul all had 12 points for the Americans. Carlos Delfino scored 17 for Argentina.

The path to gold — and redemption — looks clear as the Redeem Team faces Spain, a team it blew out by 37 points during pool play.

USA will face Spain for the prestigious GOLD MEDAL on Sunday at 2:30 am ET.

FUCK YEAH!! GO FOR GOLD TEAM USA!
