Did you see the Mayweather fight this weekend? Me and some of my teammates, from the Chicago Bulls, of the Premiere Hoops Fantasy League, got together for some fun, laughs, drinks, and of course, the fight, at my place! Boxing is a beautiful sport! It has a lot of similarities to the game of basketball! First, you got your training, to help you get in tip-top shape! Then, you got your practice, where you get in the gym and hone your skills! You got your team, and now you're ready to go to war! On game night, lay it all out on the line! And in the end, a champion is usually crowned! This was all put on display with the HBO series 24/7. This inside look of the training camps of Mayweather and Ortiz, showed how these cats got ready for the big fight! Both men worked hard till exhaustion! They both had remarkable life stories, with hard beginnings! But with the help of their teammates, they made it through and to the top! But I sorta liked the way Mayweather did it a bit more!
In a lot of ways the Mayweather vs. Ortiz fight reminded me a lot of my fantasy league! Mayweather was the old and experienced sly fox! He's seen it all, did it all! He represents my old Bulls squad in a lot of ways, except, he has a lot more wins, and is in much better shape! Ortiz represents our competition. Young, hungry, and full of energy! It was a good night! Lots of drinks, laughs, and good company! In the end, the sly fox caught the young gunner off guard and knocked him out! It was a valuable lesson for my squad that being older than the competition can be an advantage if you can max your opportunities!
This year's Bulls squad will be different than my past teams! We'll feature two new drafts picks! Pierre Monagan and Twain Jackson will hold down our guard positions! They'll be two of the quickest guards in the league, for sure, with outstanding shooting range! Darrick Carter or DC, returns to the team for a second tour of duty! A true vet who'll probably hold down either wing spot, who can still take his man off the dribble and finish strong around the rack! Mike Jackson is our other wing man and best three-point threat! At center we'll throw in Reggie Terrell. An old fashion big who plays his back to the basket! Our bench could open a school for basketball with all the knowledge between us! Featuring the Boys from Blackburn University at the guards! Robin Locke and Randy Kimbrough will patiently run our triangle offense and get cats in the right spots! Derrick Terrell will be an immovable force in the paint! Think Bill Cartwright! And I'll run Scottie Pippen for the squad and do what's needed to get the win! This is the best Bulls squad assembled in a minute! We will compete in the championship series this year! Hands down! Hope y'all are getting ready!!
