THE SPORT COUNT

In our recent trip to Disney World, in between rides on Space Mountain and Star Tours, The Sport Count team took some time out to suck down a milk shake and burger. Just as we sat down, guess who was leaving, but our favourite malcontent, Jameer Nelson – who unfortunately left his classy looking Moleskin diary on the chair next to us.
Intrigued, by what the little fella might’ve had to say, the Count delved into the pages and found some interesting findings…

"Yep - the best injury of the 2004 draft for sure."

8:00am – Damn, this is sore. This is probably the worst injury to happen to anyone in the NBA this year – Al Jeff, Bynum, all pale into comparison to my shoulder. I was the only allstar with a season ender – we should remember that, when the dust settles on the 2004 NBA Draft.

10:00am - Hit Youtube, check out my injury. Definitely a big time injury. Seriously, ain’t nobody got more injured than this in the 2004 Draft Class and I was selected 20th. I bet all those GM’s are regretting not drafting a player to can carry an injury like your boy Jameer – ‘cept maybe Elgin Baylor… cos Livingston was pretty fucked up.

11:00am – Change my internet homepage; no point in all star voting anymore

13:00pm – Hit Yahoo! Fantasy – do you know I’ve been dropped by 8,994 teams? That means that 8,994 fantasy owners are mad cos I went down. I was the 12 ranked fantasy player of the season, in the ENTIRE NBA! That’s higher than anyone in the 2004 Draft Class by a long way, even Dwight.

14:00pm – Have a sleep. What a sleep.

17:00pm – Check the blackberry; google alerts are rolling in. Kirk Snyder huh? Oh you’re doing well – after your 16th selection you’re now playing in China. I bet the Jazz are really pumped with that pick. Oh, another one – Kris Humphries… those 3.9 ppg must have the Raptors salivating about his “upside”… ha ha, suckers. Damn chumps, I’m the best from 2004!!

19:00pm -  Roll out for dinner with Dwight and Hedo and a Turkish place that Hedo knows. Dwight orders 2 platters, so I order 3. I ate 33% more than Dwight Howard at dinner! That’s right, you heard me! Proving once and for all who the best eater in the 2004 NBA Draft Class is.

22:00pm – Jump into bed. This shoulder is killing me – what an injury: they don’t make em like this no more!
