Super badass NBA season coming up.

2009-07-05T20:48:00.000-07:00

The 4 best players of this decade

Shaq, KG, Duncan, Kobe.

The 4 best teams headed into next season

Cavs, Celtics, Spurs, Lakers

2 from each conference.

Even the conference Finals will make some really interesting match ups. Lakers/Spurs have a 'who was the better franchise since Jordan' type of match up and LeBron/Celtics has been pretty well documented since the Celtics acquired their Big 3.

I think if the 4 teams I mentioned above all make the Conference Finals, I'd be happy with any NBA Finals situation.

Cavs VS Lakers - We get the Kobe/LeBron that was supposed to happen. Throw in some Phil Jackson/Kobe Bryant/Shaquille O'Neal drama and that's good television. If LeBron wins it'll be a nice 'passing of the torch' type of thing to end the decade.

Cavs VS Spurs - Shaq and Duncan tied at 4 rings each will settle who the more dominant big man was this generation. LeBron gets a chance to revenge that embarrassing sweep a couple of years back.

Celtics VS Lakers - A finals rematch, more Celtics VS Lakers to help fuel the rivalry. Settles all the 'what ifs' from the Lakers fans that complained that Bynum wasn't there.

Celtics VS Spurs - The Big Fundamental and the Big Ticket, the 2 most talented Power Forwards of this generation get to duke it out.

Why can't the season start!!?!?!?

i hate the lakers

2009-06-11T21:19:00.000-07:00

Lakers suck

Kobe Bryant has such a big ego he always chokes on jumpshots and when he does he just says there was a foul and he always like fucks up the offense and he always thinks he's such a good playmaker but he never passes to his teammates especially in crunchtime and then off the court he thinks he's all cool and casual with everyone.

Pau Gasol is ugly and annoying. His face his is ugly his hair is ugly his beard is ugly his jumpshot is ugly when he complains to officials he's ugly and he thinks he is the best jumpshooter in the world but he looks like a fucking butthole when he shoots jumpshots even his brother is fucking ugly like wtf were his parents thinking hey let's give birth to some spaniards with hugeass stupid hair!!!

Lamar Odom is such a little pussy and he can't play basketball and he always screams like a little girl when he grabs rebounds and makes lay ups even if he is wide open he screams like a little bitch like his dad is shoving it up his butthole he is so shit at basketball even though he has all the tools to be a good basketball player.

Andrew Bynum is the biggest pussy in the world he is so big but so useless and he always gets injured and he is like a little pussy even his coach makes fun of him and he cries like the big baby davis.

Derek Fisher is so old and ugly and annoying his jumpshot is so stupid and he always misses jump shots except for Game 4 and he gets so much credit for being a vet but he actually sucks dick and he can't post up Aaron Brooks and he is like such a n00b he misses lay ups all the time.

Trevor Ariza is so annoying he's so athletic but he sucks just cause he can hit a couple of 3s and he has long arms and he can steal some balls oh big deal he can't do shit he just feeds off good players.

Sasha Vujacic is ok but his hair is getting so fucking annoying like all wavy and shit like a girl i bet he gets it in the butthole a lot in the team showers cause he looks like a girl he needs to like get his parts fixed or switch to like some new energy source cause his machine is not working.

Luke Walton looks like such a silly white boy and he can't really do anything he's kinda like Mr. Turner trying to play basketball he's stupid and like he doesn't do anything good he's just there and he's so useless and shitty and white his dad is better than him at basketball what a loser.

Jordan Farmar is such a stupid little Jew with big ears like he is a monkey or osme shit and he can't really ball or do anything he sucks dick he can't really shoot or pass or anything he just like reads the torah or some shit he should wear one of those little jew caps on his head when he plays fucking eat kosher food.

Josh Powell is so stupid and useless like the beginning of the season I thought he was Ronny Turiaf but he isn't he thinks he's so good at shooting jumpshots but he isn't he's sucky and his hair looks like a pile of shit who the hell is he trying to be he looks like a fucking dinosaur.

DJ Mbenga looks like a fucking monkey no joke his face is so disproportional for a human and he can't really do something just because you're African and you're a funny name doesn't mean you are a good shotblocker cause otherwise my friend Tapiwanashe Mazinyi would be a monster shot blocker but he isn't.

Shannon Brown is so useless just because he can hit a couple of 3s and dunk and looks a little bit like Chris Brown he is trash and only trash he is shit and he should go play with Rihanna.

Adam Morrison is like the biggest bust in the world he's like michael jackson he looks like some fucking child molester he was pretty good in college but now he sucks cause he spends all his time feeling up the ball boys instead of working on his game he can't get minutes over fucking shannon brown or mbenga or josh powell he sucks so much dick luke walton is better than him.

Sun Yue is quite good repping all the asians but he can't do shit on the lakers like jews get minutes over him he is tall but he can't really do shit for a point guad but he can't play 2 guard or anything cause he is like so shit in the NBA all he does is sit on the bench and be like oh hao qiu to everyone yea fucking n00b

And Phil Jackson thinks he is so fashionable with his little funny glasses and he thinks he's so cool with hsi special chair and then he like doesn't play his good players when he needs to so he thinks he is so damn cool that way and he thinks is hte best coach in the world hello if i had michael jordan on my team i would have a pretty kickass team as well gosh so stupid.

2009-06-04T23:06:00.001-07:00

someone else tried to commit suicide tonight. fortunately he was stopped.

2 suicides 1 month

2009-06-03T17:33:00.000-07:00

Last night another person in my school committed suicide... The same train track.

I'm just confused.

New thing i'm trying out.

2009-05-18T21:06:00.001-07:00

I'm working on making a few NBA related t-shirts and I've decided to start with Turkoglu. Quite a bit of progress from my initial one cause people kept telling me it looked like Aaron Brooks.

15 years of age - The year everything changed.

2009-05-05T17:23:00.001-07:00

Perhaps the most memorable years of my life was when I was 3 years old when I started remembering things and probably this year. I can't really associate stuff I've done to a certain age because it all just seems to be a blur. When I was 3 I would watch countless episodes of Power Rangers, I would hit my dad and be mean to my grandparents. When I was 7? I don't remember a lot of things.

I guess it's easy for me to say this now since I'm currently 15 but 15 has been a year of change for me. It feels like I've been 15 forever.

This blog has also been awesome since it has kept a pretty good log on a year of one of the biggest changes in my life.

Let's take a look.

JUST BEFORE TURNING 15 - (this counts because it's cool)

First kiss - Ok this is like a year before but it's worth documenting in case I forget when I grow up.

I see Jin. Probably like the first famous person that I've met up close and personal.

I start using Ubuntu which is my OS of choice. It also helps limit my computer game playing because I never bother to switch over to Windows.

My grandma dies. This is the first family member that I actually know who passed away.

I TURN 15.

Homemade iPhone.

My final ESF Swimming Gala - We win by 1 point. I start counting down the last 10 days of the school I've been in the last 10 years of my life.

I bomb $1000 on a pair of headphones.

First time I break an electronic that I own. The screen on my iPOd nano starts dying.

I buy Warcraft 3.

I get my first serious gaming console since my Playstation 1. (Wii doesn't count). Thanks for the PS3 guys.

I arrive in USA.

Experience being a loser/loner at High School.

Obama.

Experience the infamous American High School that we often see in TV Shows.

3 people I know growing up have parents that died/are dying.

I start contributing more to the society.

I get to watch Yao in action for the first time.

First Superbowl

First time I run away from cops.

Renewed love for sneakers + a bit of HBing.

First pair of Jordans arrive (Fire Red Vs)

I watch the 6OT classic between Syracuse and UCONN.

Start eating more cheeses.

First time I get straight As

Someone in my school commits suicide.

School shooting in my area.

Bomb threat in my very apartment.

It's been a long year. About a month left until I turn 16.

My future?

2009-05-03T09:26:00.001-07:00

confused.

There's a bomb?

2009-04-28T16:13:00.001-07:00

So here I am sitting in my school library on my blog. I'm locked out of my house because some stupid high school kid had some firecrackers in his house and then the cops went in and searched and they were like hmmmm these aren't just firecrackers...

OK the librarian is going to kick me out so bye I'll give the update later as long as I don't get bombed.

Cool Playoffs.

Derrick Rose

The Detroit Pistons

New predictions

2009-04-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

Since the Celtics will be without KG...

Celtics/Bulls - Celtics in 5

Celtics/Magic - Magic in 5

Magic/Cavs - Cavs in 6

Playoff Predictions

2009-04-15T22:08:00.001-07:00

The seedings are finally in and here are my predictions.

First Round

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Detroit Pistons (8)

Cavs in 5. The Pistons steal one at Cleveland (Game 2), wake up call for the Cavs and all the Kobe fans go insane but Cavs finish them off.

Boston Celtics (2) VS Chicago Bulls (7)

Celtics in 4. Celtics will pack the paint and Derrick Rose will die.

Orlando Magic (3) VS Philadelphia 76ers (6)

Magic in 4. Dwight Howard will average about 6 blocks a game in this series because no one in Philly can shoot but Dwight Howard is a fucking beast in the paint.

Atlanta Hawks (4) VS Miami Heat (5)

Heat in 6. Wade averages near a triple double in this series.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS Utah Jazz (8)

Lakers in 5. Jazz are still a pretty good team but their record has been hurt by their recent suckage and also a bunch of injuries so they're no typical 8th seed. The Lakers wins should be rather close wins that are around 10 points.

Denver Nuggets (2) VS New Orleans Hornets (7)

Hornets in 7. Interesting match up. Chris Paul vs Chauncey Billups will be quite nice to see. Chris Paul will put up godly numbers. X Factor is J.R. Smith.

San Antonio Spurs (3) VS Dallas Mavericks (6)

Spurs in 5. The 'don't write off the Spurs' thing begins. A few smartasses pop up and say 'oh I've been saying all season long, don't write off the Spurs!!'

Portland Trail Blazers (4) VS Houston Rockets (5)

Rockets in 6. Rockets should have swept the season series but Roy hit that crazy 3. Greg Oden slows down Yao effectively before picking up his 5th foul in 3 minutes of action. This will be an interesting series!

Second Round

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Miami Heat (4)

Cavs in 5. Wade puts up subpar shooting numbers but attempts like 20 free throws each game.

Boston Celtics (2) VS Orlando Magic (3)

Celtics in 7. Will probably be one of the best series. Depends on how KG's doing but Celtics should be able to contain Dwight Howard effectively and should also be able to close out on those open shooters.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS Houston Rockets (5)

Lakers in 5. I wish things would be different but this Laker team just fucking rapes the Rockets. Rockets will play a good 3 quarters of basketball for the whole series but the Lakers will win somehow.

New Orleans Hornets (7) VS San Antonio Spurs (3)

Spurs in 7. Because Spurs are good even without Ginobili and you shouldn't write them off. Roger Mason hits 3 3s in the 4th quarter of Game 7.

Conference Finals

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Boston Celtics (2)

Cavs in 6. Witness.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS San Antonio Spurs (3)

Lakers in 6. Bynum + Gasol is too much to handle for Duncan.

THE FINALS

Lakers win because they're fucking stacked.

2008-2009 NBA Awards Predictions

2009-04-10T20:38:00.000-07:00

I wish I made a set of predictions before the season began so I can compare... But I didn't so obviously I can't compare. duh.

Alright

Most Valuable Player - LeBron James
Best record in East, possibly the league, best PER in the league. He's locked it up.

Rookie of the Year - Derrick Rose
He has the stats... currently at 16/17 PPG and 6 APG, leading the Bulls to the playoffs... Pretty strong case for ROY.

Defensive Player of the Year - Dwight Howard
Close to 14 rebounds and 3 blocks a game and he anchors one of the best defensive teams in the league. I'd like to see LeBron win it though, but this has always been more of a statistical award.

Sixth Man of the Year - J.R. Smith
He's been a beast for me on my fantasy team. I think Jason Terry is getting far too many minutes to be considered a 6th man.

Most Improved Player - Devin Harris
I'd like to say Jameer Nelson but like half the season doesn't help his cause. Devin Harris has been in consideration since the beginning of the season.

Coach Of The Year - Mike Brown
Best record in the East. Cavs record improved a considerable amount this season.

Executive Of The Year - Daryl Morey
Landed Artest, big balls trading Rafer for Lowry, signing Von Wafer. Good stuff.

All-NBA First Team

G - Dwyane Wade
G - Kobe Bryant
F - LeBron James
F - Tim Duncan
C - Dwight Howard

Wade gets the nod over Paul because of his amazing season. Duncan makes it next to LeBron cause KG missed a bit of the season and doesn't have the most spectacular statline.

All-NBA Second Team

G - Chris Paul
G - Chauncey Billups
F - Carmelo Anthony
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Yao Ming

Chauncey and Melo make it for helping the Nuggets nab the 2nd seed in the West.

All-NBA Third Team

G - Deron Williams
G - Brandon Roy
F - Dirk Nowitzki
F - Pau Gasol
C - Shaquille O'Neal

And what's left. Sucks Joe Johnson couldn't make a team.

All-Defensive First Team

G - Dwyane Wade
G - Kobe Bryant
F - LeBron James
F - Tim Duncan
C - Dwight Howard

Same as the All-NBA 1st team. Wade gets the nod for his 2 steal/2 block thing.

All-Defensive Second Team

G - Chris Paul
G - Chauncey Billups
F - Ron Artest
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Yao Ming

Replaced Melo with Artest. Paul's there for steals, Garnett is a by default thing.

All-Rookie First Team

G - Derrick Rose
G - OJ Mayo
F - Michael Beasley
F - Kevin Love
C - Brook Lopez

Where is Greg Oden? :X

All-Rookie Second Team

G - Russell Westbrook
G - Eric Gordon
G - Rudy Fernandez
F - Jason Thompson
C - Marc Gasol

I really wanted to put Anthony Morrow in there somewhere but this year has some pretty good rookies.

Cheese blog? Cheese blog!!

2009-04-08T15:44:00.000-07:00

I found this piece of cheese in my fridge that we bought from this super awesome local supermarket called the Milk Pail which has all these cool cheeses and fresh cheap food.

I shall review cheeses from a normal person's point of view and not those cheese connoisseurs who will swallow salty strong tasting foul creamy chunks of food and call it a dessert cheese.

The first cheese that I willl review is called Champignon Mirabo Walnut Cheese.

From the a trusty cheese website called Cheese Supply...

Mirabo Walnut, a sophisticated soft ripened cheese, has been mastered by Kaserei Champignon of Bavaria, Germany. Its exclusive blossom shape, with find while mold, gives mirabo its unmistakable appearance. The pate of this cheese is a soft and creamy delight, and the finest crushed walnuts, speckled throughout, produce a wonderfully mild and nutty flavor.

There is no unmistakable appearance. It looks like a piece of brie with little chunks of walnuts (they could be anything though) in it. Yes it was creamy and the crushed walnuts didn't do shit to the flavor. If by 'wonderfully mild and nutty' you mean 'fucking salty' then yes. It had a wonderfully mild and nutty flavor.

After handling this cheese I went on to eat grapes which people seem to enjoy with their cheese, but the cheese stink was all over my fingers so when I ate grapes the grapes were stinky with cheese smell.

Late night blogging with Jordan

2009-04-01T02:44:00.000-07:00

2:45AM as I start this blog post. I'm still kinda fucked from the jetlag and I'm not tired at all. I don't know what to write about. I kind of want to sleep. But I can't. I don't want to write over corny weird stuff because this is actually a public blog so I won't write weird stuff to make me look like I am so smart and deep and all the girls should like me because I'm so cool deep down.

FUCK YOU.

Ok.

I hate you all. I hate times like these (2:47AM in America) because most people in America are sleeping and then I don't know where all you Hong Kong people at.

I really miss Hong Kong. Being with my friends is muy bien.

DAMN IT I AM SO BORED BUT I CAN NOT SLEEP :(

6 Overtimes

2009-03-12T23:28:00.000-07:00

Amazing game by Syracuse and UCONN earlier tonight. Devendorf had a 3 that would've won the game in regulation that was probably decided by less than 0.1 seconds, then 6 overtimes of basketball begin. I watched every minute of it and A game that should have ended like 1 hour and 15 minutes ago kept on going and I lost an hour of precious study time.

Awkwardest moment in my life.

2009-03-10T22:08:00.000-07:00

Today I was going to swimming then I had to cross the road so when I was waiting for the light to change all of a sudden I heard these (female) orgasmic noises. I look behind me and I see nothing then these orgasmic noises continue as I sit there, one guy sitting on his bike waiting for the light to change while listening to female orgasmic noises. It was weird.

Things I don't like to eat

2009-03-08T12:47:00.000-07:00

I like to eat a lot of things but I don't like...

Kiwi

Non-cow dairy products

boobies

school sucks

2009-02-26T22:54:00.000-08:00

I am not mentally strong enough to stay away from the distractions of this world when I am doing homework.

But I'm nearly done anyway so it's not too bad.

So I'm sitting here in front of my computer working through homework and (not) looking forward to the history project, history exam, chemistry formal lab and math test, and english essay ahead of me.

Honestly, up until like last year I've never cared much about school. My mom would come home from school every year from the parent teacher meeting and she'll be like oh yea all your teachers were like "jordan is smart but he always does the bare minimum and doesn't put enough effort into his work." and my mom has been telling me to work hard every year. I work hard for about like a week or two then something cool happens and then I just stop.

But anyway I've finally reached the dreaded 'last 3 years' of high school that universities mainy look at and well, here I am. In Year 7, 8, 9, and 10, the most As I ever got was like 4 As. And that's because I had like 13 subjects or whatever and 2 of them were Mandarin and Music which were gimmes. But yea.

Now that I'm in those last 3 years that Universities seem to care a lot about, it's just really weird that everything I do right now could determine what my life will be like. Maybe if I'm good I could get into like a top 10 university (I actually got a letter from one) but that would be it. Maybe I'd get into the 10th best university in the world but I wouldn't be able to get into the top university because during these 3 years, I flunked a test or something and I couldn't get that grade that I wanted.

Weird.

Blog name change

2009-02-16T15:29:00.000-08:00

Because I think it's funny.

I have a long weekend this weekend (5 days!!)

I'm beastly.

Sadly stupid swim coach decided to schedule practices on this beautiful long weekend.

Oh wellz.

Now you can stalk me better. Twitter is like a website with only Facebook statuses. That way you don't have to feel bad by showing up on everybody's home page if you change your Facebook status every 5 minutes. Also you don't have to feel like a loner if your whole facebook page is filled up with the changes in your status.

How to save the economy and be charitable. AT THE SAME TIME.

2009-02-08T00:51:00.001-08:00

Ok. So this is how it works.

Say you want to donate $1000 to a charity.

If you straight up gave $1000 to that charity, those poor African kids/dogs/people with cancer/whatever will be very thankful for your $1000 donation.

And that's perfectly fine.

BUT. If you want to help save the economy, this is what you do.

Go buy $1000 worth of goods that you know can be resold at a similar price point (Numbered Jordan shoes hold their value well as well as most luxury brand items... But as you go up it could get harder to sell because of trust issues.)

Go on ebay.com or some sort of listing thing where you can sell your stuff. Since you haven't used those $1000 worth of goods it should still hold its value quite well.

Get that $1000 and with that $1000 donate it to your charity of your choice.

What you have just done is

Give $1000 to the struggling economy.

Give $1000 worth of items to somebody who wanted those $1000 of items

Give $1000 to the charity of your choice.

So instead of just donating $1000 to a charity, you have just tripled your $1000 because you have given a $1000 value of stuff to 3 separate groups/individuals.

It's genius.

Top 100 moments in my life.

2009-02-03T17:42:00.001-08:00

In no particular order. Just thought I should archive this. Maybe I'll rank them next time.

1. Hijacking the elevator one Halloween at William's place. All the kids got out the elevator to get candy and then we went in and closed the door. Some of the helpers looked confused. We pressed all the buttons and got off at the next floor and took for the stairs.

2. Sneaking out the back of a house when the police came over after some people complained about the noise. There was alcohol, shisha and underage drunk kids in the house. I climbed over this hugeass rock and tried to act as sober as I could. Asian flush gives a lot of things away.

Superbowl Live Blog

2009-02-01T15:27:00.000-08:00

Pre Game (About 3:27) - Guys being introduced. This thing is like so hyped up there's all this stuff going on and all this coverage. NBA Finals are nothing like this. The coin toss is about to happen now.

Arizona Cardinals win the toss.

Oh whoop dee doo.

I took out some pre-game snacks and I already ate quite a lot and I'm kinda full already. boo.

3:33 - The Superbowl begins and yep it's a bunch of guys jumping on each other. Ben Rotheitahielhlafj with this pass to some number 86 guy and they're at the 30 something yard line? :S

3:36 - I think the Cardinals are getting cut up. The Steelers are at first and goal and it's like 3:30 into the game.

3:38 - The Steelers score.

3:41 - I think I just finished my first Superbowl commercial break. I don't know. They're pretty cool kinda. Oh they argued the call or whatever and now the Steelers don't score. It's 4th & Goal.

3:43 - Touchdown gets waived off but the Steelers convert the field goal so they're up 3-0. IT's kinda weird how you can just challenge calls. Rasheed Wallace should go play in the NFL.

3:57 - Damn Steelers are beasting. Ben Rohtiwrhltwehljs is a beast.

4:01 - My first quarter of my first superbowl is over. I fail to understand how Americans can all gather around and watch this together.

4:03 - New Vin Diesel movie!!

4:06 - Wow there were 2 kinda racy ads just now.

4:08 - Steelers touchdown. Seems a bit effortless.

4:21 - CARDINALS TOUCHDOWN!!!

5:07 - I was robbed of my computer rights. The Heroes commercial was kickass.

6:01 - The Superbowl is stupid and boring.

7:02 - The Superbowl is amazing. Huge touchdown with 35 seconds left. Santonio Holmes caught it in like the fucking corner of the endzone.
