Better late then Never

Like a fine wine, I wanted this blog entry to age so that I can personally comprehend what happened that faithful Wednesday night March 11th 2009. It was a unseasonably warm day but not for Jon”Lights out” Dorfman. This is a day he will remember forever or at least till the end of this blog.

In 1991, Jon was an amazing basketball player well beyond his years. His patented stutter step wowed the Wahnee faithful and melted the girls hearts. But something happened when jon grew up. People started getting bigger and better than him. That all changed Wednesday.

When Lebron nearly had a triple double last month I thought that was the best basketball performance of the year. Clearly I was wrong. Chris “Smitty” Smith had the difficult task of defensing Dorfman but to no avail. Dorf, hitting jumpers like Drazen Petrovic in NBA Jam couldn’t miss. To steal the words of that heralded video game, he was on fire. Then Smitty, known for his tenacious d and these days a spotty jumper, got up in dorfs face to force him to drive. What did dorfman do you ask? He went right around Smitty showing moves that have not come out since the Reagan presidency. His teammates including the fearless Jared Mancuso were in awe of what they were witnessing.


But just like jimmy Connors run at the 91 us open, dorfs body started to give. His heart didn’t. Utilizing his new teammate Kristian Kordula who was brought down by this hamdsomely good looking but sometimes irresponsible blogger, their team triumphed during the Gatorade game forcing me to write this wonderful blog.

I know what your thinking. why is this whole blog about dorfman. There are two reasons for this.
First and most important, since it took me a week to right this i cant remember a whole lot from that night so for all you young journalists out there taking notes is a good idea if you dont have a photographic memory.

The second and least important is Dorf probably played the best basketball of his life and besides marriage and kids might not have much to look forward to in the next ten years.



Game Notes:
Neil shot 100 percent from the field shattering the record held by Brett Goffin since 1987 when he torched a 5 foot 2 neuron shooting 10 of 14.
Jamie Schweid shot a season high 38 percent on 45 attempts. He however lowered his SWHTTB (Shooting when he touches the ball) percentage to a staggeringly low 89 percent.

See you all Wednesday. God Speed and Please make sure you neuter your pets.

I am out.
