Looking forward to NBA season I, like everyone else, see the Celtics and the Lakers as once again the teams to beat. And then of course there’s Houston where if everything goes well they’ll be extremely good but it seems unlikely that the Yao/T-Mac/Artest troika will really avoid physical and mental breakdowns. Besides those three, I like the Jazz.
Beyond that, I wonder what Carlos Boozer makes of the election. Like John McCain he was born abroad on a military base and like Sarah Palin he’s from Alaska. Indeed, he was probably the most famous Alaskan in the world until Palin’s rise to fame and infamy displaced him. And Palin, of course, was a sports reporter back in the day. And you’ve got to figure that when Boozer was at Juneau-Douglas High School that he was much better at basketball than anyone else in Alaska. Did she take note of her state’s rising athletic star? How does Boozer feel about his home state governor coming close to the pinnacle of national power? I want answers!
