:10—I know you’re watching if for no other reason than to shut me up, but you can’t shut the Spurs up as they move closer to “spankin’” that Golden State bee-hind! San Antonio wins the West and wins it all, sending Duncan off in style. Take it to the bank.
:09—Speaking of shutting me up, the Pirates almost did last year when they drew up another do or die play-off game. So let me get started again…YOU – CAN – NOT – I – MEAN – NOT – WIN -A -WORLD – SERIES – WITHOUT – AT – LEAST – TWO – ACE – PITCHERS – AND – A “SURNUFF” – CLOSER. But, you know you can shut me up again. Oh, I am sorry you’re busy being slapped around by the Diamond Backs!
:08—If you think you’re seeing things when you think you’re seeing Denzel Washington, well, you’re not…and you are. Denzel is in town and he’s mixing it up with the people. I am not surprised however. My partner “Rockin’ Ron” Carter, who played with the Lakers back in the day, said he was cool like that. That being said, Cool is coming in September when Denzel and the boys mount up to try to fill the boots of the greatest western of all times, “The Magnificent Seven.” Here’s hoping the Denzel magic works!!!
:07—Speaking of movies, here is “Criminal,” starring Kevin Costner. It’s pretty darn good, but don’t get there late. I give it three basketballs. !
:06—Speaking of basketball, and I was if you were paying any attention at all, be reminded the 40 year anniversary of the Connie Hawkins National and International Summer Basketball League is in full effect. Spread the word. Big celebration Par-Tay comin’ up this summer. Watch for it…and I still need to know after 40 years, what is a “Meatball,” what is a “Ringo,” and what in the world is a Bump yes!?!?
:05—On that note, look for the announcement of the All Connie Hawkins League Team put together by some of the greatest basketball minds in Pittsburgh…well, at least the ones I could find!
:04—Hey, speaking of that, the ball continues to bounce six ways Connie Hawkins. Former star player, Jerry Harvey, will host the 6-year anniversary celebration for his dad’s support group, Wednesday, May 25 at 400 Lexington Ave. Call 412-350-2824 for more information. And when you see “Harv,” tell him I hooked him up.
:03—The Pens are in and I told ya they would be. Trust me on hockey man.
:02—Speaking of golf…no, I wasn’t, I was just testing ya, don’t miss the Red Ribbon Golf Classic on Monday June 27 at the Club at Shadow Lakes Golf Course to benefit teen education. Call 412-973-9524 for information.
:01—The top three are easy for me…“Red Corvette,” “1999” and “Dove’s Cry.” Rest in Peace your Purple Highness…you were a force! And you could hoop!
