my band played in charlotte, north carolina this evening
it was a pretty fun show, we were doing our thing
and when, in mid rock i look down stage left
and who is standing there rocking to the groove but emeka okafor and
sean may...
that was a trip
being in a successful rock band and living in l.a. i have been around
a lot of famous people
but for me, being such a hardcore basketball fan
and that the worlds of rock and basketball rarely collide
i never meet those guys
i guess i kind of like it that way
that way they stay as mythological heroes to me
and if i never meet 'em it's easy to hate all the guys that aren't on
the lakers
but i gotta say meeting those guys was such a great experience
they were down to earth, smart and funny guys
i'll never be able to hate the bobcats again, even though they beat
the lakers in triple overtime a few weeks ago
and they stayed for a whole 2 hour blasting red hot chili peppers show!
they like music!
i will always bleed purple and gold and lakers will always be my team
but in the eastern conference......go bobcats!
(unless the bizarre experience of a laker bobcat final ever comes to
pass)
we also met jb, an assistant coach at charlotte
those guys are so cool man..........
emeka and sean....didn't both those guys win the final four in
consecutive years?
guys at the beginning of long great careers!
god bless em!
woulda been cool had adam morrison come too, but...............
bet i'll see him in may at the rage against the machine show in
coachella......

anyways, hopefully lamar coming back on friday for the lakers against
the bobcats
lamar odom! triple double trouble! soul man number one!
as much as i like sean and emeka
lakers are gonna have to put the hurt on 'em
yup, i hope those nice bobcat guys have a great season and stay
healthy and have long and happy lives
but i hope the lakers crush their world on friday
conflicted?
me?
never!!!
