Looking forward to Gilbert Arenas challenging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to a blog-off. It's on!

That blog doesn't play any defense.

When it looks like Kareem has phoned a post in, it's actually his inflatable ghost writer.

Early on, Jabbar's blog had a different name.

I still say Kareem was the best guest star ever on Diff'rent Strokes.

Kareem's blog needs more balls to the face.

You can't pull off a better practical joke than getting drafted by the worst franchise in the NBA. Anything else is tame in measure.

Sportscrack is wrong. Acie Law IV and Mario West were drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, not the New York Knicks.

I found Bob Cousy's blog on Amelia Earhart to be more insightful.

I was looking forward to Kurt Rambis' take on the impending recession in the Modesto Bee, but this will do.

Who would win in a "Three Way Smoke Off Death Match" between Kareem, Walton, and the Chief? This bettor's money is on the Sky Hook.

@Tuffy: That is true, but I'll still stick with Kareem. The actor who played Dudley really carried the Gordon Jump episode.

Kareem on Skyhook: "Think of it as an athletic version of the Hokey Pokey: you put your left foot out, you bring your right arm up, you toss the ball in the hoop, then you shake it all about. ... As the ball drops through the net with a satisfying swish, you can then walk away singing: "That's what it's all about!"

That's totally sweet.

I predict that Kareem's blog will be 2000 words extolling the quiet dignity of the American Indian, followed by a complete non-sequitor like "and Oscar Robertson was an Uncle Tom asshole; I was much better than him".

**note: I have no knowledge as to Oscar Robertson's relative Uncle Tomness or assholianism.

The story on macho women's coaches has no love for Bill Lambier.

Great, Lew and Herbie Hancock on the same page. I hate the smug look Herbie always had in those ads for the Bose system.

I love the fact that some dickhead features editor at the Times needs to include a sidebar telling us who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was. Maybe that asshat only knows him through his record label, but I'm guesing the rest of us have a passing familiarity with his bio.

Those of you bagging on Roger Murdock's ("I'm the co-pilot!) blog obviously missed out on "The Real History of the Light Bulb," which I found both informative thought-provoking.

Still, a feature on getting your ass kicked by Bruce Lee would be much more interesting.
