Just as an aside, if you feel like enjoying some meta-retro-futuristic FRANK MILLER work pick up a copy of the graphic novel RONIN. Good times.
The Association has listened to you NBA 2K6 stans and will move to re-format the playoff games. The preliminary proposal doesn’t make the game as fun as the DP dot Com bracket, but we can always pray. Here is a second round matchup that we could have seen…
Phoenix Suns vs. Clevland Cavaliers
The league MVP against the clear MVP in the East, LeBRON JAMES. Actually the focus of the series will be SHAWN ‘The Matrix’ MARION and LeBRON ‘Young DaVinci Code’ JAMES. RAJA BELL and LARRY HUGHES are the co-stars.
The Matrix was always an exciting player and with the addition of AMARE STOUDEMIRE and STEVE NASH to the Phoenix mix you thought there might be a new sheriff in the West. When the Suns are on full blast you had better wear your track shoes to the gym. The biggest problem for the Suns is that their high-octane offense is complimented by a low horsepower defense. The Suns give up a lot of shots and size to most teams in the league. They can get outrebounded, but they can’t be outrun.
Let’s take a look at the NIKE SHOX MTX worn by SHAWN ‘The Matrix’ MARION.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a resourceful scrappy team. Not too many names that you would recognize on the back of a jersey, even though they have their own ‘Snow Man‘. It has been LeBRON JAMES mostly. His sneaker is called the NIKE AIR ZOOM LeBRON 3. He is one of the league’s bright stars and every year his game and countenance improves. The DaVinci Code refers to people that are direct descendant’s of histories most controversial jew (no, not LENNY BRUCE). LeBRON’s got the look of someone that could be from that Ethiopian/Eritrean region.
This is a fun series because the Cleveland team surprisingly likes to run the floor. LeBRON and LARRY HUGHES fill the wings up with their slashing and spot up shooting. When LARRY has to take a break from the team for his brother’s funeral Phoenix takes the advantage. When he returns to the team the tables are evened.
I like Phoenix in 7 games for this series and the deciding factor was the NIKE SHOX MTX. I pick their design over that of the NIKE ZOOM LeBRON III.
