LBJ#6 formally #23



For real you all knew I will be doing some words after the end of this season and yeah it came. Drafted 1st overall by the Cleveland Cavs, LeBron was and is still a highly rated basketball player. As far as money is concern he will make much of it from the ratings comes a great deal of cash and actually everything. I saw him on his first game and I thot to myself he can actually make Cavs shine and for real they did but not so bright enough to win a championship. They brought Shaq to help him win but the combination dint just work for a championship. I still feel Shaq was still good and very dominant on the center position. After several attempts LeBron threw away the jersey #23 and got to south beach, a pre-mature celebration was done for his arrival. He could not be on #23 because of the greatest player who ever played on the hardwood was honored by retiring the jersey #23. Keep in mind he never played for Miami. I mean which player in NBA history has ever had his jersey taken up in the rafters and had never played for the team who put that up? MJ dint just write history he played role and made it his birth rite, anyway I was talking about the “king” he went first season and missed out to an old team with great experience, Dirk you made my season that year. 

Another run, to some point I knew it Pacers were closing out the heat, but how wrong was I. came the Celtics another old team with rich History and amazing experience. I saw the refs with a Heat jersey on game 2 where Rondo exploded his scoring nature. I told my Wife way before the playoffs began that the finals will be Heat VS OKC and she was down for Spurs so she could not see what I was saying. Stern made sure LeBron went to Cavs and his time is ending and the least he can do is to win him the championship. The Refs mistakes on the East finals were so clear and for sure it was on the wall Heat were to be in the Finals. My predictions came to pass OKC VS Heat on the finals, continuation of the All- Star event in Orlando Amway Arena.

I have  some reservations, about  LBJ:- I don’t deny he is a very resourceful player to have in a team and he is a competitor and he loves the game.  And he has a long way to be king as he claims to be, I mean MJ stayed with Bulls until he got the ring, he dint look for Magic or Bird or Thomas to win a ring. He made Bulls a contender and won the championship with them. 6 is the number with one team. to me he is king and will remain King because of the level he played and believed in Chicago and he came short but never gave up. To consistency and love and the passion he gave the bulls was just amazing. Let’s shift to Kobe, he has kept to Lakers even when the Lakers dint make it for the playoffs he stuck by them and he won his rings there, he dint look for KG or PP or MJ to win, he worked and made Lakers when there, I know he will still work towards winning another ring. 

To me LeBron was selfish, its good to win but it feels better to do it in a way you leave the world happy, I Know the heat funs are happy and all. I loved what he did to Cavs, he made the team a contender and to my expectations he was to not only make it a contender but deliver the Championship. After the several attempts and failed he gave up hope on the team that made him Franchise player for south Beach. To me if he was to win it with Cavs I would place him on the level of MJ and Kobe.  To me he chased a championship for him and not for a team. he wanted it so bad he would do anything to get it. They say he earned it, but I beg to differ he dint earn it, it was given to him by the NBA organization. Kobe Earned it, MJ earned, Bill earned it. Anyway I am glad the season is done and it was all about the ratings and Stern is happy the ratings were good. 

Its all business and the finals were already planned for and it was better to have OKC VS Heat in the finals. All –in –all congratulations to Pat and the entire Heat team. OKC you still have what it takes to win this, you have a complete franchise. happy summer time.

The Boston Celtics,

We have done this before and it’s not any different, we supply, we share and we play hard. Game 6 was to be it and call it a series, but I could not help but to tear in the loss. The team dint just show up, dint just close the series out. We can play better and we have played better, this loss is huge after a good fight to take the lead from a 2 – 0, what was needed is to finish the series and have good rest for finals. I will forever remain a fan and a strong believer in the green movement, it runs in me and the faith I hold for the Celtic team is amazing. 

I trust KG, Rondo, Paul and Allen will do the right thing. I know it’s away game and it will be difficult, but you have proven to work well in times like these. You know how to win games and for real you can win this and make the whole Boston following proud. This is just a bad day and for real it would be better to know you have the chance to take on game 7. We have one more time and chance to make it to the very end and win big. The humility you have carried all along will pay and it’s a major stance and I know it Red is with us even in Miami he will make us win this.

God bless Celtics!

Life line in UG


A time last year around end of July early August. I was changing locality and was hopeful about a change that would be great to me and family, the hope I had no one or anything would destabilize it or sway it away. Time has come and gone and I have seen many things and learnt many things. To me this has been a lifeline that has exposed me to a different side of life.

Kampala as they call it the capital city of Uganda, the city of the seven hills which is in the tropics hence the heat that cannot be explained. Never in my life I ever thought I will ever be in Uganda at any one time, things happened and here I am in a land I have not love for, yeah you read right I have no love for. It has kept me away from family and that alone is not something fun to do. Been from place to place and home is a better place to be. I have a few disappointments that I will share about, the fact that all the stories I was told about hot women are lies and the other fact is life is cheap in Kampala. I have been here 6 months and I have not met any hot woman to level Kenya is and its women, they have a great body which almost every woman is proud of but it just ends there. The rate of immorality is way high and possesses a risk to the foreigners in the country for they are the target. The life and the basics are way too high for an average Kenyan who comes here to stay....there is the talk of the country is land locked but that is no reason for basics to be expensive beyond means. The health care is questionable and it reminds me of a time I was unwell and could not find proper medication to get well. Too much I have said about the wrong about this place, besides the power problem (how could this pass me) I have been in darkness for the best part of my stay in UG (yet they provide Kenya with power) there were those days I even forgot how to switch on lights coz I would come home find no lights and get to work with the same conditions. I was not sure if my bulbs are working. It’s just strange how a city can be dark like half the time. My DVD player has never enjoyed a session of playing movies the way you would be in doors on a weekend and watch movie after movie. NKT! Someone says I get used to it I just can’t do that. It’s just not one of those things to get used to.

There is some good here, the night life....one amazing place to be for a weekend. The night clubs are an investment and for sure I give props for that. The music is plenty and fun to listen to but not for long, the luganda language will bore you with time. The entertainment world here is outa the ordinary and that is one thing the country Kenya can pick and maybe perfect. What else is here to marvel about?....(am thinking) well the foods, and I mean the local foods is attractive, the way these guys are into their culture and placed it everywhere is amazing as far as the food is concern. Even though' not all the food types are good to me. The concern of food in this country is just amazing as long as its traditional, the fast food joints are down, Kenya we adore fast food and we have worked hard to ensure its great and always there.

It’s been a time filled with a lot of things, seen the better side of the lake, and I have had fun being here but this is just it. I can’t take this anymore. It’s like bad dope, you can’t take it a lot, and it’s time to kiss this place bye. I have appreciated all the good I have seen and learnt but that's just it, it was fun while it lasted but I got a home which is not falling apart, a home more appealing and I can id with better. I have nothing against UG, I am thankful for the hospitality even though' it needs work. It gave me the feel of being away from home and appreciating home better. This is a life line I will always remember, never to work here but come for holiday but not during Christmas. I have learnt a few luganda words but they will never help.

I love my country and there is nothing wrong with that. I am happy I can travel to any place in my country and be able to communicate and be understood. I don’t need a translator. Swahili ni lugha ya kuunganisha watu. It was a great time but home is best. Narudi nyumbani, I am coming home.
