Monday Morning Ramblings 2005, Issue VII

I for one believe that the NBA Slam Dunk contest is back. And who needs the big names when you've got the originality that was on display Saturday night in Denver. I loved Steve Nash showing off his soccer past in helping teammate Amare Stoudamire with some really neat dunks but nothing was cooler than Josh Smith donning the Dominique Wilkins throwback for his winning dunk. Here's a cool link: it gives you winners of all past dunk contests. Might be nice for future reference purposes.

NASCAR is back and better than ever after a great kickoff to the '05 campaign. Jeff Gordon found victory lane and less boos than normal. I guess the rednex "hatee du jour" is Kurt Busch these days!!!!

The District 5-6 PIAA basketball season is in full swing, peep the Southwest PA Blog on PennLive for the latest.
