    Do you know who faced North Carolina in the college basketball championship? He must have a lot of strength because in that video he ran into people and then dunked it. He must have a lot of leaping ability because you mentioned that he could leap from the free throw line and dunk it. I can't wait to comment on one of your next blogs.
