Dwight Howard comments on Sweep of Atlanta
Heyyyyyyy worrrrrrrlllddddd!!!
Well, we took care of business in the A-T-L and now we get some much-needed rest. We won in a sweep, but that was still a very physical series going against Al Horford and Zaza every game.
We had a great flight home after closing out the series. We were messing with Vince Carter in the locker room about being in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time. Because we have such a tight, tight group of guys, we feel like we can say anything to each other. It is that openness which enable us to be better.
I really like how we’re playing like a team on a mission. We’re not going out there and acting like we’ve got a 2-0 or 3-0 cushion in these series. We’re staying hungry and humble and keeping our foot on the throttle every game.
Back in the day, we used to relax in games and relax in series like this and we’d let teams come back on us. I think we’ve come a long way and are not doing that anymore. That’s a sign of maturity for us.
Now, we’re going to get two days off, but ya’ll know I’ll be back in the gym real soon getting my swolle on in the weight room. I also plan on working on my free throws. I’ve already talked to our guys about not losing focus or losing that edge just because we have a break.
I know that Stan will keep us ready. We did A LOT of running between the Charlotte and Atlanta series and we’ll probably do the same again this time. It’s a killer on us, but it’s no time to be resting ‘cause we need to stay sharp and keep that killer instinct up.
Here are some off the court updates: my big movie premier for "Just Wright" is going to be Tonight night at the Altamonte Springs Mall at 6:45 p.m. Not sure whom all is going to be there, but I know some of my teammates will be there to support and see me cheesing on the big screen. It should be a lot of fun. I’m hoping all the Magic fans will come and check it out!!!
Tebow turns down 7 figure endorsements?
Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has done well for himself in the category of sponsorships and endorsements, landing deals with Nike and EA Sports.
Apparently, Tebow could have had even more. A lot more.
According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal (via Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post), Tebow has declined "some seven-figure per year deals" because he believed they would interfere with his focus on football. "I'm trying to work hard and not get my mind cluttered with all that," Tebow said. "When it gets to the point when something needs to be presented to me, I see it. Right now, it's all ball for me."
Tebow's agent thinks that the opportunities will continue to arise. "Within the next five years, Tim clearly has a chance to be one of the most endorsable athletes on the planet," Sexton told the Commercial Appeal. "I had one CEO of a major Fortune 500 company tell me, 'You know what, Jimmy? For a corporation to put a face on their brand, this guy is the real deal. He's the one guy who's not going to be a scandal two or three years from now.'"
We agree with that last statement. But Tebow's marketing potential will diminish quickly if he doesn't become at least a good NFL quarterback, or if the Broncos don't consistently win games.
Lawrence Taylor Masterbated!!!?? yeah right! Must be nice to have good lawyers
We're told Lawrence will not deny he was in the same room as the 16-year-old prostitute, but his lawyer will argue Lawrence did not have sexual intercourse -- an element of third degree rape.
As one source put it, Lawrence engaged in a "masturbatory act" and that was it.
According to New York law, "A person is guilty of rape in the third degree when ... he or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person less than seventeen years old."
Interestingly ... in the criminal complaint against the alleged pimp, authorities allege Taylor engaged in "sex acts" but there is not mention of sexual intercourse -- a requirement for 3rd degree rape.
... And Lt's Wife says
