From ESPN Daily Dime:

You can usually find scattered seats in Cox Pavilion during the summer league -- but not for Washington's first three games. John Wall not only excited fans; he filled the VIP sections as well. "It's not just that he's the No. 1 pick," said one NBA head coach. "He's also what every coach and general manager wants with the way the game is being played." Wall led the summer league in points (23.5) and assists (7.8 ) per game, and added four rebounds and 2.5 steals to those averages.

The superlatives and comps were flowing freely: Derrick Rose with defense and charisma. Chris Paul with better size. Rajon Rondo with more upside on his jump shot. One of the privileges of the summer league is the opportunity to observe a top prospect in a meaningful context.

After months of discussion about wingspan, upside, motor and potential, we finally have the chance to watch the player in a game situation. Seeing Wall run the pick-and-roll with JaVale McGee was a revelation for skeptics and reassurance for the true believers.

Cue the heavenly choir...

HAAAALLELUJAH!

incline walking x10mins @ easy pace (how can walking not be easy?) 9.0 incline, 4.2 mph
christ indoor cardio is boring

shoot hoops x15-20mins, was on fire for a while and even made a half court shot, first try.   No glass, nothing but net (well, and back rim).

stretch

I'm gonna bring a book next time for the incline walking to see if I can push it a little bit longer. It's boring as crap but my HR did get up to 131 or so, which is just at the bottom of needing to breathe above normal for me. Plus my ankle felt okay on the rows, so that's good news. Mostly I was just looking at different ways to get my HR up a bit without running. Meant to do core but got lazy

Also, LOL at your dad. What was he trying to do?

So his instinct on seeing an unknown cable was to cut it? 

So much for GOMETD
