Today is Good Friday, which means no school for us. That's such a relief for me after having been studying and drowning in school work for God knows how long. Speaking of God, Jesus was getting burnt on Good Friday. So he suffered, then we have no school, I'll take that. Luckily, there's a Rockets game tonight, against the Warriors.

  I was hoping to see Yao dominating the young Warriors before starting to watch the game. But it's said that there's something wrong with his right foot, ergo, he's out tonight. However, Houston's got Dikembe Mutombo, one of the greatest defensive centers in the history of basketball regardless of how old he actually is (honestly, I think he's at least 50). Thus, the finger-waving legend starts to surprise the Golden State newbies.

  1st qtr, 7 rebounds for Dike, I think, plus 2 block shots, wow! The Rockets outrebounded those jumpy youngsters 16-4, if I remember correctly. The oldest player in the league tought the youngest player, Anthony Randolph, a lesson that he'll never forget. The 1st qtr set the foundation for Houston's win tonight. It wasn't a great victory, but certainly a big one, with Dike's 10-point 14-rebound double-double performance along with 4 block shots in 34 mins.

  It's just precious to see this 50-year-old man running on the floor. Every minute of Dike's playing time is just an unforgettable continuation of his legendary career. Therefore, let's applaud for this great basketball player, great mental and vocal leader, and most importantly a great man who has influenced two generations and the sport of basketball.

  When he leaves, no one will forget his superlong name (Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo, haha), his waving finger, his warm heart for charity, his belief in never committing a single foul, and his deep deep voice. You might not know who Michael Jordan is, but you have gotta hear this name, Dikembe Mutombo. So come on Houston, come on Yao, come on Artest, win the champion, win it for Dike, don't make him enter the Hall of Fame without a ring on his hand with which he has made so many superstars run back to their own sides of the court without scoring.

  No need for further saying, let's hear it for Dikembe Mutombo!!!
