Is it just my imagination or does Dennis Rodman look just like a Chia Pet when he chooses green, out of his rainbow of colors, for his hair?

Please, enough! No more camera shots of Shaq’s Harvard foul-shooting guru every time he goes to the line. What’s next, cameos of Jordan’s shoe salesman, Riley’s tailor, Rodman’s tattoo artist or Barkley’s barber? Yeech!

Was it my imagination, or on the winning shot in the Knicks’ Game 5 victory over the Pacers, did Patrick Ewing set the U.S. record for the triple jump (formerly known as the hop, skip and jump). As long as he had gone that far, I’m surprised he didn’t just take another step and dunk the ball.

My thanks to the NBA and NHL. So far, the excitement in the playoffs has made my complete boycott of baseball an easier transition than I imagined. Also because of the playoff format of both leagues, they’ll lead right into football season.
