Best YouTube Video Ever
This is why I love basketball.  This YouTube video about Chris Paul and his grandfather is one of the best features I have ever seen in my life.  I watched this on ESPN a few months ago when Chris Paul's team was in the NBA playoffs.  This story transcends the game of basketball.

Chris Paul is someone who has totally changed the face and the style of the NBA game.  It is amazing the way that a player who is about 6 feet tall can totally dominate the NBA game the way he does.  In fact, Chris Paul has a dribble move that no one in the NBA was doing as recently as four years ago where he puts a reverse spin on the ball moving from right to left.  Off the court, CP3 (his nickname) is a complete gentleman and a total class act.  On the court he is one of the most fierce competitors in the NBA.  He's not afraid to throw elbows at 7-footers and he has an ongoing dialogue with the referees the entire game......he just talks to the refs every possession trying to win them over to his point of view.  That's what a great point guard does, even if you think he's working the refs too much!

Here is the video. (click on the link below)

While I like Deron Williams, and still think he was the better choice for the Jazz, I think that CP3 is the most Stockton-esque player out there right now. Especially a young John Stockton.....

What a great story, and what a determined young man Chris Paul is! Talking about "just do it." He just did it.

Okay, baseball is over. Onward to basketball!

Hey Mad-dog,

I know this is unrelated to this post, but I was telling some friends about your old posts regarding Shaq. Specifically, the story about your car and the watches he bought when he won the MVP award. Could you re-post those stories or send them to me so I can share them with my friends.

Thanks

Hey Mark:

Why did you donate $2500 to put proposition 8 on the California Ballot? Do you oppose gay marriage, and if so, why?

You donated $2.5K in support of discrimination? Your morals are worse than your outside shot.

Mad Dog,

Why the support of Proposition 8 and spreading hate? Bad choice man...

Mad Dog,
It's unfortunate people don't fully understand the purpose of proposition 8 and the importance of keeping marriage between a man and a woman. There is a reason why people are trusted with your kind of success... You do good things with it. We need more people like you.
