I was quite tempted to be honest but when I saw those prices! Jeez.

I think I'll head north for the weekend and do some trails in the Cherokee National Forest instead.

Anyone else watching The Last Dance? Really enjoying it so far. I'm loving how much detail they're going into and the range of interviewees they've got is amazing. I remember wanting the Bulls to lose at the time for a bit of variety but it's incredible to see the footage of Jordan in his pomp.

I've been watching it, and finding it absolutely fascinating. Not really a basketball fan, so don't really understand why what Jordan is doing in the footage is so amazing, but it is incredible to see the respect, verging on awe, in which he is held by his peers. And the outright worship from journalists and fans.

I'm no expert myself, like you say I think it is the reactions that you see from his peers and those who were there that really bring it home how good he was. Also think he comes across pretty well in his interviews both now and at the time.

We do a lot of work with the NBA at my place so I've got drawn into being more interested in it.

Watching the Celtics - Bucks game tonight, Sky's coverage is Blues, I appreciated they're just talking NBC's feed so are stuck with the long ad breaks but it's all so crappily done. Some dude keeps being too slow to show the Unibet ad when the US ads kick in.

Nuggets have come back from 3-1 down back to back to get to conference finals. LeBron and the Lakers next.

No 5 seed Heat 1 up on the Celtic in the East having knocked  out top seed Bucks in previous round.

Shame they're now level with the Celtics but I can live with them winning this one for Kobe.

Jordan will always be the GOAT!

Both of those before my time but Larry Bird would be in the discussion for top 5.

Wes’ other team, the Milwaukee Bucks are taking yet another kicking in the playoffs. So much talent and yet this coach who is brilliant in the regular season is once again fucking it up in the post season where it really matters. It won’t shock me at all if they go out in the second round he will get the bullet.
