The NBA draft is tonight. That kicks off our list of what you can chat up:
+ The player who will likely go #1 is John Wall, from the University of Kentucky.
+ Talk about why he's going #1. He played only one year of college basketball but he already has the skill set of an NBA player.
+ In 1 season of college ball, he made first team All-American.
+ He's versatile, has a soft shooting touch and displays great athleticism on the court. i.e. He gets it done and isn't afraid to drive into the paint. (Paint = the rectangular area of the basketball court that leads to the basket. It's where the "big men" - centers and forwards - play so you've got to have agility to avoid them and/or bulk to match up against them.)
Now, World Cup:
+ Italy, the reigning World Cup champ, is O-U-T.
+ The U.S. survives to the next round. Pretty amazing given some of the "cardiac moments" they've provided so far, like coming back from 2-0 to win a match and the ties they've endured when goals have been nullified.
+ So the World Cup is offering upsets, emotion and patriotism equivalent to (or even surpassing) the Olympics.
+ Dial it up. Watch it. I dare ya.
Chat it up and enjoy!
