    I think the final 4 will be: Mutombo's wag; Ernie, Charles, & Kenny; West playoff race; and Cassell's huevos. My pick for champion? Ernie, Charles, & Kenny.

    I guarantee that Adriana Lima wins it all, unless the Miami Heat dancers "bounce" her out of it. I have a strong feeling there is a large representation or testosterone driven males that frequent blogs like this.

    7: How can you have Davis' beard and Ernie Charles and Kenny in the Final Four? They are in the same region.
    And Adriana Lima or the Heat dancers will win it all.

    Since It's called "Ball Don't Lie", Rasheed must automatically advance to at least the semis. I'm not sure he coined it, but he is the primary user of that phrase.

    How does Kirilenko's 'Deal' not take the cake. Apparently, this guy has an arrangement with his wife where he can sleep with one woman, any woman of his choice, every year.

    The superfan is following the western conference race, featured the Mutombo finger wang on his visit to Houston, has a photo of Kirilenko smiling at him (probably because he’s happy about ‘the deal’), got his photo with the Heat dancers, had Sam Cassel’s cousin hold the plane in Los Angeles, might appear w/ Ernie, Kennym & Charles, saw Baron’s beard in 5 different arenas, had a picture taken w/ Sasquatch, saw Iverson cross over both Artest & McGrady, saw Turiaf dance for 4 Lakers wins this year, high-fived Rasheed as he walked to his car, and saw Garnett’s intensity beat the Lakers in Boston
