Top 5 Entrance Songs:

First, let me clarify that my “entrance songs” will be applied to the basketball court, not the baseball field. I am a man of true sport.

1. Moment of Clarity – Jay Z
This song has the ultimate beat for the baller inside of me.
2. Enter Sandman – Metallica
Seriously can there be a better song intro than Enter Sandman?
3. Bull Running Through the City- 1990 Chicago Bulls
Throughout my childhood one team reigned supreme year after year, the Chicago Bulls; this was their entrance music.
4. Beast of Burden – The Rolling Stones
This very funky tune puts me into an uplifted mood no matter what the situation.
5. Still Dre – Dr. Dre
This song can make anyone feel hardcore.

Top 5 favorite athletes:

1. Reggie Miller – Indiana Pacers
Growing up Reggie was the athlete I looked up to; he remains the greatest clutch player of all time in my mind.
2. Gilbert Arenas – Washington Wizards
A true nut job, but when he’s on fire, he lights the place up, and that day will return to Washington sooner rather than later.
3. Caron Butler – Washington Wizards
Caron embodies everything that I wish the rest of the Washington Wizards could be; powerful, consistent, and clutch.
4. Rafael Nadal – ATP
Perhaps the most exciting professional tennis player of all time, Rafa brings a ridiculous energy to the court that just sucks you in.
5. Ronaldinho – AC Milan/ Brazil
He has the “Brazilian Magic”

Top 5 Sports Moments That Stand Out as the Most Memorable:

1. Malice at the Palace – Pacers vs. Pistons 11/19/2004
The most notorious fight to happen in the NBA in my lifetime, Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson punching out fans…
2. Larry Johnson – 4 Point Play
Game 3 of the 1999 Conference Finals between the Knicks and Pacers.  Down 3 with only 10 seconds on the clock, LJ hits a 3 and one more to shatter my dreams once more.
3. Maryland Terrapins beat Number 5 Ranked UNC 2/25/2007
Terps launched an amazing comeback to beat the number 5 team in the country. A completely insane finish ending 89-87.
4. Wizards vs. Raptors- Michael Ruffin tosses ball to the rafters 3/30/2007
“And a Hail Mary three by MoPete!” Mo. Peterson launches at the buzzer after bonehead Michael Ruffin celebrates too early by throwing the ball up in the air with 3.5 seconds left.  I could only watch in horror from 10 rows back.
5. AC Milan vs Arsenal – Champions League in Milan 3/4/2008
90 straight minutes of jumping and chanting in Italian, which I know none of, and pretty much just going all out nuts in 30 degrees and pouring rain while wearing only a knock-off AC Milan t-shirt.
