14-Day BodyBuilder project is started, link is above. Excited and nervous about it all at once. Check it out. ^^^^^   = ]

I'm about halfway through "The Book of Basketball" by Bill Simmons. If your a sports fan, not just an NBA fan, a sports fan, I suggest looking at this book. Gives great insight on the older NBA and takes a relentless look at some of the leagues stars. Takes it to Vince Carter. Tears him a new one. Bill Simmons has a great knowledge of the league and you really learn a lot. I've only been a NBA fan for 2-3 years but I really got stuck reading about the old league.
Things like Chamberlains 100 point game, where I've always wondered how it was possible, gets clearer through his explanation of the league and how the players rolled then.
The only thing I noticed that I wish wasn't present was a bias for the Celtics (even though he claims there isn't one). As soon as his passion for the Celtics get explain the bias is just floating around in my head the whole time. Maybe it's there, maybe not.
Regardless check it out, buy it, it's really worth a read.
 As well the argument that there will never be another MJ, ever, is a little too certain. 5, 10 or even 40 years from now there very well could be a player that tops MJ. It's just something you can't state. Maybe we'll have perfected cloning and there will be a team of 3 MJs and 2 Shaqs at their prime tearing up the NBA. With 3 LeBrons on the bench chatting with 4 Kobes. Who knows... who knows.

Be yourself, then learn to love that self.
