I had that joy once. Before the bills, and the 8 hour workdays, and the stress… before school and girls… we were all this young kid just pumped out of our minds when one of our sports heroes did something great. I saw it in Carolina when the young kids were speechless when Cam Newton was standing 10 feet away from them. Just something really cool and innocent about it.
Well, kid, I’ve been on this Earth for 27 year and still haven’t witnessed a sports title, so uh, you’ve got that to look forward to!
He’s got more excitement for LeBron’s off the backboard dunk than I’ve had for something in about 5 years.

As I’m packing for Charlotte this weekend (going to the NFC championship game between the Panthers & Cardinals NBD) a video uploaded by the @NBA on Twitter caught my eye. Just a simple video of LeBron James dunking for probably the millionth time in his career. But what made it awesome was the slo-mo. Slowing dunk videos down automatically makes them 100x better. So simple yet so awesome. 31 years old and he’s still throwing down dunks like he’s 20.
