I wanted to share with you about my experience with this year election, all though politics is not my thing but everyone felt like they were part of it this year…. Yes I am a Obama fan. but I’m a fan of any one who is going to make a change towards making this country a better place. I have to say this election was very spacial, you felt the vibe in the air before and after election day. I mean every where you went,looked and listened it was about the election and how big it was. I never seen so many young people involved and exited about voting in my life. Which is great. ”The American people have spoke” -John McCain- I remember the day of i was thinking about it all day, i remember i had a work out with my trainer in the morning that lasted till 3pm. which was good because it took my mind off it for a while, but as soon as i got in the car and started listing to the radio and calling friend from everywhere it was nuts. Everybody i talked to you hear it in their voice, you felt the energy and how in to it they are. I got home around 5 or so and went straight to the TV were i saw president Obama ahead by a small margin, i started getting nervous, but then president Obama took over and never looked back. I can’t forget the unbelievable feeling i felt when he was announced as the new president of the United State Of America. I still get the chills when i think about it. It was historical. This was history and I’m so happy that i can say i was a part of this. Samd13

Great first day of contact parctice
29. September 2008 by admin.
Whats up everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know how my first experience with contact practice went since the injury. I was very excited and happy to finaly get cleared to play with other players. Its been a while since i played 5 on 5 and i missed it a lot.
About my contact practice. I must say i was thinking a bit much at first, but after making couple of moves and running up and down the court i started trusting my knee and letting my fear go. I thought I did ok and played good on both ends of the court, but what was impressive that i played pretty well on defense. I was changing directions great, with no pain or anything. I’m very thankful and i can’t wait to play this season. I will keep working hard with my trainer and i will be ready for training camp and the start of the season. ( will blog with you guys again soon). God bless.

Great Vist and news from DR. Marder
25. September 2008 by admin.
Due to all the hard work i have been putting in with my trainers and my physical therapist, Dr. Marder cleared me to start adding contact to my basketball workout. I’m very thankful on how my knee rehab went. I thank God I had no problems along the way or set backs. I’m very excited to take part of a full practice. I can’t wait, its been a while. I must say it will feel different at first, but i’ve been working hard with my basketball skills coach and I’m sure i will do just fine. (Peace and love till the next time I blog).

Whats up Everyone

Sorry I’ve been away from my blog for a while. I’ve been doing real well, training 6 days a week and getting stronger. I’m making a great amount of improvement by the day. I’m running full speed with no pain, I’m jumping much better ( I’m dunking again which feels real good). I’m working with a basketball skills coach and we are working hard on getting my timing back. I should have a video or pictures up pretty soon while I’m working out. Make sure you keep checking my blog for it.

Thanks to Everyone

I want to take a moment and thank everyone that been emailing me, and been keeping up with my blog to see my progress.
I’m doing great, I’m working out every day and I’m on the court getting my timing back. Today I had a very hard work out, worked on my lateral movement and on my jumping. From there in to the weight room where I get a hard lift in. I’m working out hard 3 hours or more a day, but i love every minute of it. Its something i look forward to every day. I like the preparing part of it and the work. Its a wonderful thing. I will have some new work out photos soon.

Sorry I’ve been away from my blog for a while ,but I’ve been busy working out and getting my body in shape. I’m working with a great group of trainers and I’m feeling stronger every day. The knee is feeling much better, I’m getting my confidence back with my knee. I believe I’m going to come back strong than ever. I’m on my 5th month after the operation date and i’m getting closer to hit the court with the team.
