Rudy Gay - who?
I know, I know, I’m on an athlete kick right now. But, it is the season for slam dunk fests and all star games in the NBA. I couldn’t be happier. I love seeing all those muscles in one place. So, I give you Rudy Gay.
Apparently this 6 foot 9 inch shooting guard weighs about 220 pounds and has been shooting off his mouth at Gerald Green about the slam dunk contest coming up. And, apparently, Gerald Green felt the need to teach him a lesson or two. You can see the video yourself on yahoo and I’d happily link you to it but it keeps disappearing on me. You can find it easy enough though, I’m sure.
Back to Rudy. For some reason, when I type that, I have this incredible urge to type Ruday, you know, say it with some hip vibes, Ruday Ruday Ruday.
Ok, I’ll give that up. He played his high school ball at Baltimore County’s Eastern Technical High School, which is a magnet school in Essex. His family wanted him to advance his basketball skills though and he transferred to Archbishop Spalding High School was he was named Baltimore Sun’s co-player of the year. He was a McDonald’s All American and a Parade first team All-American. He was regarded as one of the most talented players in college basketball, being named 2005 Big East Conference Freshman of the year ad also named National Freshman of the Year by The Sporting News. In 2005 he was invited to play for the USA’s Men’s under 21 World Championship Team. And, he did, and he excelled.
In April he announced he would enter the 2006 NBA draft and was selected the 8th overall pick by the Houston Rockets. He was disappointed though.
So, what do you think?
