Paul Benetis Dot Com

I am very glad I stayed up to watch the end of this game … it was simply incredible. LeBron scored the last 25 points for his team beating Pistons 109-107 in the double overtime at The Palace. This already is considered one of the best performances by a single player in the NBA Playoffs history (I can’t say the best because MJ is still the best, in my opinion). LeBron made three-pointers look like they were regular jump-shots, Pistons’ defenders look like they were still in high-school, and his team as a bunch of spectators. The whole Cavs team hopped on LeBron’s back and went for a joyride.

Last night Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson went at it once again, this time in the octagon at UFC 71. Two minutes into the first round Rampage Jackson nailed Iceman Liddell with the right hook, knocking Liddell down, and then finished him on the mat. I wasn’t particularly surprised that Jackson won, but I was shocked to see how Liddell lost. Jackson didn’t have a nick on him, and it seemed that this fight was not even a challenge to him.

After the fight Dan Henderson, who beat Wanderlei Silva in Pride (huge accomplishment in my opinion), got inside the octagon for an early promotion of Jackson vs. Henderson. That should be a fight that no one should miss. Two friends, both champions and on the top of their game, going at it in the octagon…I already cannot wait.
