It has been a while since I wrote something...anything. Since my last post, the LA Lakers won the NBA Championship...again, a spectacular World Cup occurred on African soil and LeBron James confirmed what I have always thought about him. Meanwhile back home, we are prepping to vote for the referendum on Aug 4 2010.
So what can be learnt from all this? The Lakers are still the best team in the NBA, living up to their brand in a 7 game final series. Africa can and did host the hell out of the biggest event on the planet, all the while the western media critiques small details like the "vuvuzela", referees and goal line technology! Read your FIFA rule book. Furthermore, the "vuvuzela" just highlighted the fact that we are a musical people who know how to have fun. Unfortunately, the said instrument is currently being banned in Europe and the Americas during football matches. A 25 yr old kid from Cleveland just shifted people's perceptions of him, for the worse. And the results of the referendum could potentially damage our beloved country further.
Just a few things on my mind on this Friday afternoon. Nothing much to do with branding, but at least I am back to writing. Need to reinforce MY brand.
Until next time.

More please. Also what did the 25yr old Lebron confirm?
ReplyDeleteThe arrogance of LeBron James is nothing less than spectacular. Not playing to his full potential cause he KNEW he was going to another team, which had been in the works for about 3 years. And then having a primetime TV special to announce where he is going is just ridiculous. Hopefully, young kids do not emulate King James, who should be dethroned by the way.
