Champions Challenge

I hate golf. But its still fun to witness Johnny Miller's tournament up close. Yeah its fun to check out the megastars: Nicklaus, Sorenstam, Johnny(if you ask him). But I always like to follow the other guys on the course. Some of my favorites from the past: Kenny G, Vince Gill, Alice Cooper, Steve Young, and of course, the legendary Bill Murray. I mean, would you seriously have guessed that Kenny G could outdrive Alice Cooper? Not me. The best part of watching Young wasn't his game, but his constant mockery of Danny Ainge, a fellow BYU legend, and not nearly as good a golfer. And I spent a day trailing Bill Murray. The poor guy has to deliver one-liners the entire time, and he did will class and dignity. Okay, maybe not that last part.

This year Jazz guard Deron Williams was out on the links, showing his stuff. I don't think he'll be joining the tour after his career is over or anything, but he's pretty good. Well, compared to me and my 63 handicap, anybody looks good.

Team USA

I just read an article on the upcoming Olympics. They were talking about who will make up Team U.S.A. this summer. As usual, I have my thoughts.

ESPN.com projecter roster:

Carmello Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Michael Redd, Dwyane Wade, Deron Williams, Tyson Chandler, and Chris Paul.

Somt good picks, some omissions. Time for my team:

LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Ron Artest, Deron Williams, Josh Smith, Kobe Bryant, Tyson Chandler, Allen Iverson, Amare Stoudamire, Carmello Anthony, and Kevin Martin.

Now four of my five differing picks weren't actually on the senior roster, so they can't actually be selected, but when have I played by the rules.

Out: Boozer, Bosh, Kidd, Redd, and Wade.

In: Smith, Artest, Iverson, Stoudamire, and Martin

I have beefed the team up with some serious defensive stoppers(Smith, Artest, Iverson), and they will make the difference against the stiff international competition.

By the way, here's my starters: Deron Williams(early shot clock PG), Chris Paul(late shot clock PG), LeBron James(Scorer), Ron Artest(Stopper), and Dwight Howard(shot blocker).

We'll have two defensive studs on the floor at all time. The second unit will be headed by Josh Smith and Tyson Chandler, while Kobe, A.I. and Amare round out the crew. Kevin Martin will fill in the honorary Christian Laettner just-happy-to-be-here role.

Make this your team, and set up a spot in your trophy case for a gold medal right now.
