PTO Day #20: Transformers and NBA Draft

Went to the mall this afternoon to watch Transformers 2 (Revenge of the Fallen). "The Fallen" is actually a name of a decepticon leader (which wasn't part of the cartoon series) So this character/robot confused me.



NBA Draft, this is a big event for me and my sports buddies. This is our chance to see who the top basketball stars will be in the future. This event was when i saw Yao Ming get picked 1st overall 7 years ago. That was big. And then Yi Jianlian was picked 6th overall 2 years ago. All these players are so young (younger than most college graduates) and will be given millions of dollars as their first job. Some of these players will succeed and make millions more. Many will be happy with their money and fail. We'll find out who in 10 years. Here are some of the picks:
1. Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers)
2. Hasheem Thabeet (Memphis Grizzlies - from Tanzania)
3. James Harden (Oklahoma Thunder)
4. Tyreke Evans (Sacramento Kings)
5. Ricky Rubio (Minnesota Timberwolves - from Spain)
6. Jonny Flynn (Minnesota Timberwolves)
7. Stephen Curry (Oakland Warriors)
23. Omri Caspri (Sacramento Kings - from Israel)

Sadly today, legendary singer Michael Jackson died from cardiac arrest at UCLA Medical Center - where my sister visited to pay tribute. He is my all-time favorite musician. No one will ever be able to match his worldwide success on the international stage. He unquestionably has influence stars of today such as Usher, Rain(Bi). I am now watching all the music videos i have from his songs.
