Here is a nice little draft diary by the (formerly Boston) Sports Guy on espn.com:
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/030627.html

4:36 -- Quote from Mike Tirico: "There (LeBron) is with his Mom, Gloria. Gloria sacrificed a lot. Gave birth to LeBron when she was 16 ... on their own at 19, living on assistance, food stamps, and now here they are ... it's a great American story."

(What about parents who stayed together, worked hard, provided for their children and put them through school? Since when did not practicing birth control and lucking out because of DNA become a "sacrifice"? I'm confused. Let's just move on.)

one thing i noticed in the draft that was left out of this diary was the interview with Chris Bosh's(i think) parents. The father is a funny man. When asked a question about raising Chris he responded with (paraphrasing now, cause i am too stupid to remember it) "and all the whipping ... uh ... he he". Totally kidding around but funny nonetheless. Hope that quote never gets taken out of context. Maybe it was on outside the lines. Who knows. I was up waaaaay to late last night. Damn new Air Conditioner had me feeling good while watching tv (out of the 90+ dgree heat).
