206 Ballers Deciding NBA Western Conference Championship

Two Franklin High grads--Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks and Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets--have emerged as two of the most critical players in the NBA playoffs.

Proving once again that Garfield grads are smarter than their private school counterparts, Marcelus Kemp today announced he'll stay in school for a year and improve his game, while Spencer Hawes announced he'll enter the draft and become the Robert Swift of 2007.

No, we can't root for the Huskies, but there are plenty of former kids who a few short years ago were playing in front of sparse crowds at some smelly high school gym, but in the next two days will play ball on a national stage:

We have had our issues with Ryan Appleby this season. The curly haired guard can seemingly do one thing on the court, hit three pointers. This season he has been struggling to do that, making him essentially useless.

So. The Huskies. The team that's our city's best chance at a 2007 championship trophy, and they can't even beat the Cougs. Historical fact: No team has ever lost to Washington State University and gone on to win the championship of anything.

For the first time since maybe the 2004 tournament loss to UAB, the Husky men were beat by a more athletic team Thursday, as Oregon upset them in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament.
