The Greatest Ever

Attention: If you have not got the opportunity to watch Ali Rap on ESPN, do so as soon as you can. If you are from Louisville, make it even more of a priority.

I saw commercials for the show, but I was not exactly sure what it was about so never put much interest into it. The name kind of turned me off as well considering I'm not much a fan of rap. Tonight, though, as I channel surfed I came upon it and stopped to see what it was all about. It was about one of the greatest figures of our time, in all meanings of the name. I knew he shared the same home town as me, I knew he was a great boxer, and I knew some of his most famous lines, but thats all I knew. That I have found is a shame.

The show is dubbed Ali Rap because that is how he talked. He was so quick with his words, full of ryhme and wit. He was just as good at speaking as he was at boxing, maybe even better. The show features his entire life and career, full of his words, spoken both by himself and famous personalities. It gave great insight to his life. Even better it taught me so much about a man that I have heard about all my life, but knew little about.

I'd rather not give all my thoughts on it, but I needed to give some so you would be moved to watch. Now, I want to go to the museum over the break. I've been to all the other museums dedicated to the rich history of Louisville, so its about time I made it there. So whoever wishes to join me, you are more than welcome.
