Worthy of Your Attention

by Marcel Mutoni

I can’t figure out what to do tonight. If it’s nice out, maybe I’ll go for a walk … Or better yet, catch a movie … Leatherheads seems somewhat tolerable … I haven’t gone bowling in a while…

(If you’re also looking for something to do tonight, and happen to be one of those weirdos who enjoy highly-competitive basketball, there’s a game between the Hornets of New Orleans and Lakers of Los Angeles that might be of interest to you.

Apparently, the outcome of said game could end up playing a significant role in determining not just who wins this season’s Most Valuable Player award, but which of the two teams emerges as the top dog in the Western Conference.

Some guy at the office told me that great players rise to the occasion in these types of “statement” games, and that it’s probably Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul’s last chance to cement their MVP candidacy.

It kind of sounds like a big deal. But I wouldn’t know anything about it.)

Yeah, I’m probably going bowling.
