Worst Week Ever - Matt Edition



This dood claims to be one of my good friends. Instead he is responsible for one of my worst weeks ever. First we are in a fantasy basketball league together. Matt is first in our league (and as a result is on pace to win a thousand dollars at the end of the season)and i am in third. I am lucky enough to have the number one ranked player in fantasy basketball in Chris Paul who dominates in almost all statistical categories (except rebounds and blocks). Matt has attempted numerous times to get Chris Paul from me this year but i have yet to accept any of his trade offers... until this week when i accepted a deal that involved Andre Iguodala and Jameer Nelson. Sure enough in his first game for me, Nelson tore his shoulder and is out the rest of the season. Thats just balls.

Secondly Matt is from Rhode Island and is a huge Boston Celtics fan. Tonight his Boston Celtics were visiting my Philadelphia Seventy Sixers. It was a hard fought game with both teams going back and forth. The Sixers took a one point lead on an Iguodala jumpshot with 6 seconds left. Trash talking ensued on my end via text, Matt didnt respond. Then Ray Allen of the Celtics hit a three at the buzzer, Celtics win and the Sixers lose. WTF!!!!

Lastly Matt and i like to play basketball too, not only engage in the spectator sport of watching basketball or putting money into a fantasy league to pretend that we have some sort of control and consequence to the live NBA games. Matt suggested that we try Air Alert which is a leg work out system that is supposed to increase a players vertical jump and thus ensuring that they might be able to actually dunk the basketball one day. Matt and I, both being white have longed to dunk our whole lives but have never actually achieved such goal (i have grabbed and hung on a rim since i was 15 but at 28 have yet to actually put the ball through the hoop yet). Anyway my legs are fucking killing me thanks to this kid!! Actually burning!!! And i have a feeling that i still wont be able to dunk anytime soon so its probably all for naught.

So in conclusion, this kid is screwing my world up and hes supposed to be a close friend of mine. Thanks alot Matt.

I sat across from Andre Iguodala at Hibachi in Philly a few weeks ago
