Move Over: I’m Jumping On! by Daniel

Alright people, move over. I’m getting on the Hornets bandwagon.

I’m not saying my fanhood will forever be with “Big Easy Basketball,” but for the next month, I’m riding shotgun with CP3 and Tyson Chandler.

I have lived in Oklahoma almost my whole life, but (of course) when I move for a couple years, the city gets an NBA team. So with that said, I have nothing really pulling me to the Hornets, although I did go to a couple games at the Ford Center as a fan and had a blast.

I will also admit that I really don’t like the San Antonio Spurs. There, I said it. (Man, I feel better).

Look, I covered the Spurs for a couple years, and they are great guys and all that. But as a team, they are just so danged boring. Watching Tim Duncan bank shots off the glass does not make me want to stand up and cheer. Great people … boring basketball.

So back to my bandwagon jump: The Hornets are exciting to watch. They have one of the best players in the game with Chris Paul, who I think is the second-best NBA player right now behind Kobe, and they are fun to watch … Did I mention that already?

I picked the Spurs to win the NBA title this year because they have all the right pieces, but I hope I’m wrong. If the Hornets beat S.A. and play the Lakers in the conference finals, the SportsXtra team might have to come peel me off my couch and drag me to work.

Move over, people! I’m jumping on the Hornets bandwagon and there is nothing you can do to stop me!
