Who I'm excited to see the most this NBA season:

I like sports, but I'm not a huge fan.  I won't be able to tell you a team's history or anything.  I'm from L.A. though, and basketball is sort of a huge deal here.  There's been a lot of hype leading up to this season [even just on my facebook news feed].  Anyway, here's who I'm looking forward to this season, not because of what they're going to do on the court, but just because:

• Ron Artest because he's absolutely ridiculous.
• Yao Ming.  He really seems like a nice dude and I like hearing him speak.
• Charles Barkley.  One of the funniest sports commentators of all time.
• Lamar Odom because he's probably one of the funniest guys in the NBA.
• DJ Mbenga.  Congo Cash has left the Lakers, but he'll always be one to me.

Manny Pacquiao's last fight?

The L.A. Times article isn't just speculating out of nowhere in this article. It looks like Freddie Roach is thinking that the Pac-Man might be putting up his gloves for good after this next fight, you know, since Pacquiao is going to be a congressman and all.
