Sports. As a whole, I can honestly say I hate them. Now of course I don't mean soccer, or any kind of X-games sport and I've never been to a hockey game but as far as American football, baseball, golf & tennis go, I would rather jab chopsticks in my eardrums than have to listen to sports announcers. (Shockingly, I was a high school cheerleader so maybe that's partly to blame.) They have to be the most annoying people on Earth. Thankfully, my husband is not an avid sports fan and will turn the TV to something else when I come in the room. He's a doll.
While my hatred for sports runs deep, I do have a confession to make. I like basketball. I don't just like it, I secretly LOVE it. Sometimes I even watch it when Micah isn't there. It's true. This prissy little white girl that would rather buy shoes than food likes basketball. It's fast paced, lots of action, lots of scoring, the rules are fairly easy to follow, and there's freakishly tall guys. (I, myself, do not understand my extreme fascination with tall people. It's weird and I'm ok with it.) However, it's not just basketball that I love, it's Lebron James, or BronBron as I like to call him.
I'm obsessed. This 6'8'' man has totally won me over. Now I know that there were a few hurt feelings when he decided to "take his talents to Miami" but I have two things to say to that.
1) Who wouldn't want to move to the beach with their pretty lady and cute babies when they had lived in cold Ohio their whole life??
2) If you were that good at something, you might be a tad bit arrogant too. Although, I don't believe he meant it that way. Not my BronBron.
He truly seems like a nice guy. I follow him on Twitter and I will say that I've been impressed at how often he is thanking people, or posting pictures with fans he's met after games. Not to mention how devoted he seems to be to his two little mini mes. He's still with his high school sweetheart and mother of his sons, for Pete's sake! He isn't out catting around like so many sports stars these days. *cough A-Rod & Jeter cough* While I would've preferred to see him propose to his lady sooner than he has, I'm still super happy that they are engaged. (I'm secretly hoping they will have a baby girl once they get married!)
Seriously, could these kids be any cuter??
Look out, hot Mama!
I will always be a supporter of nice, family guys no matter what. As far as I know, he's never been involved in any sort of scandal or substantial controversy. I really think other sports players could learn a thing or two from this man. He's still young but really seems to have his head on straight. Inside that humongous shell there seems to be an equally as big heart, and for that, I am a fan.
So yeah, there it is. Rah, Rah! Go #6!!
Side note to BronBron, if you ever find yourself reading this:
Please do not do anything undeserving of the praise I have just given you. If you make an ass of me I will turn on you like Ole Yeller turned on Travis. I would hate to have to put you on my list of Unforgivables alongside Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Tiger Woods. But don't test me.
Also, Chris Bosh runs like Filch from Harry Potter. Please help him. He has such potential.
