The NBA Playoffs

I went to my first NBA playoff game over the weekend. Pistons vs. Magic.

Attending a playoff game is something I've dreamed of for a long time. The cool thing is I had nothing to do with it. God did! He blessed me with the tickets the day of the game and it was so cool to see the Pistons blowout the Magic. Being in a stadium full of excited people is exhilarating. It made me think of what Heaven will be like, just imagine being surrounded by billions of people cheering for Jesus. That's wild! I wonder if there will be thundersticks in Heaven. If so, that would be pretty sweet.

Proud to be a Pistons fan

The Detroit Pistons are the most unselfish team in professional basketball. They're a true picture of what it means to be a team. So when Natalie at need4sheed.com posted this picture on her blog she made a lot of Piston fans get emotional, in a way that only your hometown sports team can do. It really symbolizes what the Pistons are all about. If you're a basketball fan please stop by her site and read her well-written piece about the Pistons camaraderie. And if you're a Pistons fan, add need4sheed.com to your blogroll and save it in your favorites. And if basketball means absolutely nothing to you, then leave a "shout-out" to who your favorite sports team is in the comment section.

Deeeeeetroit basketball!!!

Dwight Howard - Jumping for Jesus

How would Jesus slam dunk?

I'm not sure how that would look, but Orlando Magic center, Dwight Howard wants the world to know where his slam dunkin' abilities comes from. And it's not from Wheaties or Gatorade.

Howard wowed the crowd, but not the judges with his vertial ups and his creativity by placing a sticker of himself on the backboard. But the really cool part was that he wrote a scripture on the sticker refering to how he can do "all things through Christ."

What Bball City.com has to say

Since I haven't watched a NBA All-Star weekend in a few years this was a really pleasant suprise. Plus, it was really fun watching my homewtown Piston players (Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton) on the East team. It's too bad Kobe Bryant put the smackdown on us. But hopefully next year the East will stick it the West.
