Shaq can really dance! The routine he did with the Jabbawockeez was actually very smooth. You gotta love that he called himself a Shaqawockee after the routine. :)
Speaking of Shaq, him and Kobe playing together tonight really was like old times; it looked like the two of them had never been apart. It also generated one of the better quotes I've heard in sports in a while. When asked about him and Shaq reuniting and how it felt, Kobe replied, "Well, it's not like we're going to go in the back and watch Steel Magnolias together and cry." Priceless.
Cool message from Obama. Man, what president in the past twenty years would ever have been hip enough to pull off something like that?
Finally, I just have to comment on John Legend. I have never liked John Legend, nor understood his appeal. So he's a throwback to the old soul artists, but with a new, hipper twist. Well, for one thing, it'd help if he could sing. But also, his arrangements always leave me cold. What was hysterical about tonight was the way they set up the "really into it" crowd right in front of the stage, and blacked out the rest of the arena. I've always found that directorial choice funny, only because it's so painfully obvious that they're doing it to mask the fact that no one in the audience cares. But this was worse than usual; not only was no one really into it in the arena, but they only had what looked like maybe fifty "fans" at most in front of the stage. When they did long cuts, you could see how few people there were! Sigh...
