Didn't see the draft but caught the highlights on ESPN. Someone made a great comment about Howard being picked over Okafor. Orlando picked potential over experience. Don't know anything about Howard, but Okafor was amazing in the NCAA last year. I think Orlando's starting from scratch, so they want to start real young and build from that. But talk about starting from scratch, all Charlotte has right now is Okafor. He should be happy though, because imagine being the first pick for a team that never existed? They're pretty much going to structure the entire roster to complement his talents. One thinks if LeBron bombed last year and Melo did amazing, if the same picks would've been made this year. Subway series coming up. I don't know what all the hype is about Matsui meeting Matsui. One is a great player and the other didn't fulfill expectations, at least so far. They're completely different so to look forward to this as a rivalry between two individuals is getting your hopes up for nothing. Just like everyone hyped up the Ichiro - Hideki meeting. Also interested in seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 and Spiderman 2. Ebert called Spiderman the "greatest superhero movie he's ever seen." Don't know if the same is being said of Fahrenheit 9/11. But. I'll see and form my own opinions. Moore is notorious for his exaggeration of facts sometimes, but I don't know if there's a way you can exaggerate a President continuing to sit in a classroom after being told that the WTC was hit. We'll see...
