KG is officially a boston celtic...

Kevin_Garnett_smiles.png

billed as the largest trade in nba history for a single player, kevin garnett aka the big ticket is finally leaving minnesota to join the boston celtics.
while i'm not nor have i ever been a celtics fan (i was rooting for the lakers in the 80's), i think this is a great move for both kg and the nba. i used to watch this dude BALL during his senior year of h.s. at farragut in chicago and i couldn't be happier for a hardworking guy who deserves a supporting cast (which includes paul pierce and ray allen). it's also good for my favorite league because a. brings some firepower to an eastern conference team and b. an east coast city needs a little excitement (which this clearly provides).

anyways, i predict a cleveland vs boston eastern conf. finals next year.

read here for details on the trade...

suge knight encounter...

Suge Knight.jpg

so i went to get some garlic knots and guess who's dining at the local johnnie's in westwood/century city?? no other than marion 'suge' knight. my girl spotted him right as we walked in so of course i seat ourselves right behind him and his date.

no i don't take pictures of what i order but both of our tables had plenty of garlic knots, pizza and chopped salads. if you really give a shit about what the man ate, i think it was a slice of cheese and half of salad (he asked the waiter to make his spaghetti to go). the girl he was 'on a date' with was alright.

everyone else in this relatively small restaurant (about 8 tables total) seemed completely oblvious as they were mostly old folks or families lol.

not that this was all that interesting but i'm bored so i thought i'd share....

mark's critically acclaimed/highly anticipated lp (version) drops in the US today... whether his DJing, production or even his demeanor in general, the word quality comes to mind.
