I saw parts of Durant's speech and he is what is making it fun to watch the NBA again.  He is a good person, and his tribute to his mother was classic, because it was no act.....he understood the sacrifices of his mother.  

I think if both of these players were on better teams I might see better defensive play, but they are both completely carrying their teams and wade is no Pippen who is right up there with Jordan as an all time defensive player, and this allowed Jordan to do things on defense which were simply amazing.

Don't worry,  I'm still not into paying 5 clams for a dollar's worth of olive oil.  The olive store complex is just another wonderful free local attraction to me.
Same as going into the art gallerys on Gallery Night.  I aint bought nothin in there either.  lol

I did maybe backslide a little when I got all juiced about me and the little woman paying for some high falutin cooking lessons.  
But my girlfriend studied up on it later (from the brochures or internet or something).  She said if we did it it was gonna be more like a home ec class.  They were teaching how to make chocolate chip cookies.
We thought it was gonna be more like a Julia Child/Emeril Lagasse thing.  You know,  uppity.  Me and her are really into getting up close and personal with the uppity and what they do.  It's a hoot.

However,  got to be about more than chocolate chip cookies for me to get out the wallet.
So you and I have still spent the same amount of money in there.  lol
