This blog is about a little guy who plays with a lot of heart, Nate Robinson. Nate is a 5'8 profesional basketball player in the NBA who plays for the New York Knicks. Despite the talent that New York posses (but does not execute properly), Nate is arguably the best player on the team and recently he has been doing an excellent job proving so.
Nate Robinson is our Modern day Spud Webb standing well under 6 foot and still able to compete with the world's greastest basketball players. His recent string of success was sparked off All Star weekend after he brought home the Slam dunk championship de-throwning the great Dwight Howard but jumping over super man(Howard) dressed in all all green symbolizing Kryptonite (superman's weekness). It was amazing! Since then, in his last 5 of 7 games he has averaged over 30 points a game and is shooting 51% from the field. If this 5'8 point guard from Washington still hasn't amazed you with those numbers i have one more piece of information; he did all this coming off the bench every night! Talk about a supporting role.
Another notable achievement Nate has done was participate and win the 2006 dunk contest. This has nothing to do with his recent success since the all star break this year but i have included a link where u can see him perform some incredible dunks, including jumping over hall of famer Spud Webb, who i mentioned ealier that Nate's game most resembles. He knows how to put on a show.
P.S for all those Knick fans out there (which is probably no one in class) you willl be happy to know if you havne't already seen it on sports center that Marbury has finally been bought out his contract and will no longer continue to f**k the knicks over with his bat attitude, bad chemistry, over paid salary that pushes the cap and all the other distractions he brought to the team. Amazing player, please dont get me wrong, but we just dont need you in New York. So long Stephone.

Vick for Sale!
He did the crime and did the time. So, what is next in Michael Vicks future?
If you were curled up under a rock, have no access to cable television, or you have never seen CNN a day in your life, Michael Vick is a former NFL player of the Atlanta Falcons and was Indicted in the summer of 2007 for running illegal dog fights.
Along with being sentenced for two years in prison, not jail but prison people, Vick also lost/missed out on an estimated $100 Million in breaking his contract and dropped endoursments. It was reported that throughout his entire dog fighting operation Vick grossed a whopping $28,000. But by gones are by gones and the day of his release from prison is nearing, and a decision on what is in store for Vick's future in the NFL will be made sooner than later.
According to Gene Wojciechowski, senior editor for ESPN magazine, there are a couple possibilities that Vick is going to have to learn to live with.
First and foremost, we will never again see number 7 play in red and black for the Atlanta Falcons. so the Flacons will either trades him or cut him. Seeing that any team who picks up Vick right now will also be enheriting a contract with almost 45 million left on it, a trade is safe to call imposible. Vick is expected to be released from prison by July and the Falcons will most likely cut him by the end of the summer.
Now to me if i am a general manager of a team this is great news to my ears. This means that i can pick up michael Vick for a quarter of what he is worth, like bargain shopping. Even if you pick him up and put throw him as the second string qb, you still have one hell of a second string now dont you. Hell the man is so fast that you can put him as tail back, wide reciever, slot, and special teams to return kicks. He is extreamly athlectic and versitle. The only downfall is that he hasn't trained for the NFL in over a year and he will be 29 years old this year, but for the price that you will be able to sign him for once the Falcons cut him at the end of the year will be well worth it.
And just for the record for those who think he still has a chance in Atlanta, they picked up qb Matt Ryan in the 3rd overall pick in the draft last year. I think they are going to take there chances with Ryan.

AYO technology
So i was out this afternoon bringing my little brother to circuit city when i remembered, Los Angelas Lakers vs Clevaland Cavalairs at 3:30. There was no way for me to watch the beggining of the match. Then i remember that i was the proup owner of an Apple Iphone. So I turned it on, opened an application called "sportacular" and got up to the second team scores, stats and individual player stats. Its like having ESPN on hand up to the second with out the hassle of the internet. Amazing.
At only 21 years old, i feel like i have seen technology evole though several phases. There isn't anything that i can mention that hasn't seen major inovational changes thoughout my lifetime. I have even seen the rise and fall of many generational advances such as walkmans, portable cd players, two way text messangers and many more.
From phones to televisions, from cameras to automobiles. Technology has taken repid steps, making our lives as convienient and at the reach of our finger tips as possible. One gadget in particular that has really brought the luxury of convienience to my life would be my Apple Iphone.
Literaly with thepush of a button i have acces to news, sports, weather, time, stocks and almost anything else you can think of! I mean there is even an application that you can download that calculates the amount of tip you should leave when eating out. I remember when phones where the size of paper weights and could barely do the basic function of making calls, now they play music, movies and check the temperature in san Diago California.

61 in the garden
http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh7r8iLde59n0V24W2
This is a link to a video showing brief highlight of Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers 61 point performance against the New York Knick in the Garden on Monday night.
With this outstanding performance, Bryant shatters two previous records held in the Garden, Most points scored by an opposing player previously held by the great MJ and Most points scored period held by former Knick Bernard King. He had some offensive support from center Paul Gasol who ended the game with 31 points.
With Andrew Binum out with an injury for the next 8-12 weeks, the preassure to score baskets is now placed back onto Kobe's shoulders. He also went 20/20 from the free throw line.
