It's another snowy day in Toronto! I mean, seriously... I've never seen snow like this. I'm looking outside my window right now and I can barely see the ground from my condo. This is the most it's snowed since I've been out here and today some people were saying that it's the most in the past 15 years. It's seems like every time they clear the streets from the last snowstorm that hit, it snows again. It's nothing but ice and new snow on the sidewalks now. Oh well. I guess you have to take the bad with the good.

As most of you probably know I'm out with a knee injury right now. It's been over a week and I'm struggling watching all of these games because I want to play really badly. This injury kind of came out of nowhere. I don't really know what movement caused it because I didn't have any sudden pain, it just started bothering me a couple of days after I had a little fall against Indiana. It's okay though, I know that things happen for a reason so I just have to play my cards right.

That's the tough thing about sports sometimes, you get on a role and start playing well, then one thing happens and you're on the sidelines for a while. Another tough part of it is that people ask you everyday, "How does it feel?", "Are you okay?", "When are you coming back?", and that grows on you after a while. I don't know when I'm coming back and if i knew I would announce to everyone in the world, who cares, at the same time so they wouldn't have to ask me anymore. It's cool though, it's part of what I do.

Other than that, the season's coming to the home stretch. I think we have like 22 games left in the last 6 weeks of the season so everything seems like it's going by fast. It seems like the season just started not too long ago. Since things are going by like they are, I've been thinking about the near future a lot. Now I'm not trying to look past any team or any of our games that are left, but i can't wait for the playoffs! I've been waiting since last year to get back at it because I don't think I played as well as I could have. I'm looking for some redemption because I've been thinking about it ever since it happened. I don't care who we play or where we start it off, I'm ready for a second crack at it. I think I'll handle myself a little better and play better too.

What's going on everyone?! It's officially the second half of the season and I'm pumped and thinking about the playoffs everyday. Every game is really important to us and we've been playing better as a group. And it's great to have my boy T.J. Ford back. He's in shape and playing like he hasn't missed a minute. I know it's been really tough for him and I couldn't imagine playing with that kind of risk, let alone coming back from it. With all of that baggage, he comes and plays the toughest position in basketball every night and he does it very well. That just shows you how strong of a person he is. He deserves an award. 

Other than that, time has been short for me the past couple of weeks. I haven't had much to do except play video games and surf the internet on a day to day basis because we're playing pretty much every other day. Call of Duty 4 has been the game of choice lately. My brother bought it for me for Christmas and I finally cracked it open. It's a lot of fun, but it's pretty hard. They just throw you right into the fire at the very beginning of the game. A lot of other games walk you along and give you a lot of easy stages so you can beat them and learn how to play. If I'm at the beginning of Call of Duty, then the rest of the game must be pretty challenging, but there's nothing wrong with a challenge. I also tried out Guitar Hero 3 and it's pretty cool too. I'm not that much into Rock and Roll, but I've been killing the easy stage and I think I'm a beast in training. Maybe one day I'll be playing the guitar for real for some big rock star and entertain thousands of people at a time. Don't worry, if that happens I will definitely give Guitar Hero their props for starting me out.

First of all, let me say that I'm happy to be an All-Star again this year! I'm in the locker room getting ready for the game. We're just back here talking and getting a little food. We've been here since around 4:30 and we still have about another hour until we get on the court. I'm trying to get my shoes signed right now so I can add them to my collection.  

The rookie game and the Saturday Night events were a lot of fun. I tried to tell Jamario that their game was going to be a tough one to win. He didn't listen to me, he kept telling me that the rooks were going to be the first group in a while to win it. They got beat pretty bad, but its always like that every year. I know everyone saw. Jason Kapono win the 3 point competition. It was a good thing for me too because I had a small wager with Damon Jones, since he was going for his guy (Daniel Gibson). Jamario did well in the Dunk Contest, but the other dunks were amazing too. I'm proud of him though, he had some crazy dunks himself.

I have a little film of my experience too so make sure you keep a look out for that in the next couple days. I also saw some new technology too. They have some enhanced TV that they're working on. I can't say who "they" are, but I know I'm picking that stuff up as soon as it comes out! We'll see how it advances as the days pass by, you guys make sure you look out for it in the next year or so. Remember... You heard it here first!
