Dirk & Steve together again

just wondering... aren't all of the white players really white? and since when was Kobe as dark as KG? Melo, perfect.p.s. Nash looks like a woman

The Return of NBA Jam, Part III

yello, it's time for the best in the West a.k.a. the Pacific division. as Guynes pointed out to me last night- the original NBA Jam was missing a huge (if not the hugest) star, Michael Jordan, cuz he c-blocked the use of his image. keep this in mind...

Sacramento- OMRI CASSPI (because NBA Jam needs a Jew) and Kevin Martin (I know, you can't believe I'd put Casspi over Tyreke Evans well complain about it in the comments! I can imagine we won't have anyone complaining about the absence of Desmond Mason or Sean May...)
Pheenix- Steven Nash and Amare Stoudemire (honorable mention goes to Jason Richardson and Grant Hill)
Los Angeles (Lakers)- Pau Gasol and Sasha Vujacic (Kobe CB'ed what otherwise could have been the best team in NBA Jam history OH WAIT, PAU IS A JOKE. SOMEBODY GIVE THAT MAN AN "L". also I would love to see a Luke Walton/Jordan Farmar team, even an ex-Mavs Josh Powell/D.J. Mbenga squad or lastly the Ron Artest/Lamar Odom carnival. sorry Adam Morrison, couldn't find anyone for you to play with STORY OF HIS LIFE)
Los Angeles (Clippers)- too easy, Baron "The Beard" Davis and Chris "uglier than Rik Smits' scrotum" Kaman
Golden State- for a team devoid of a superstar/franchise player (isn't Devean George a franchise player?) I'm gonna go with Monta "don't call me Monte" Ellis and Andris "my tan, my hair, my beauty" Biedrins

I tire. nap time

"trust me, I'm a doctor"

the 2009 NBA Finals got me thinkin'-
what the hell kinda doctor is Jerry Buss?

the Lakers are like the Bermuda Triangle, stuff disappears there.
remember when Magic Johnson was a great point guard?then he got HIV, and I know what HIV does to a man-

but magically Johnson has gotten healthier the older he gets (I know, some people might even say he's a little over weight but doesn't that prove my point that his HIV has disappeared? why isn't the government dissecting this man??) and then there's the curious case of Kobe "beef" Bryant- the rapist

talk about "to catch a predator" they caught this guy, then let him go after he bought his wife a huge ring and got a terrible tattoo. now he's being given gold plated awards and sticking his tongue out because "I GOT AWAY! and they're giving me the key to the city!" somewhere, sometime he and O.J. are going to share a bottle of Scotch and smoke a few cigars together like Denny Crane and Alan Shore

concluding thought- did Kobe have to walk around his neighborhood, going door-to-door, informing his neighbors that he's a sexual predator??? I'm serious? what kind of doctor makes it all go away?

The Stape

Staples Center has a ring to it to sports fans like like lil kids remember their first fireworks show. And I don't know why. Like it's Madison Square Garden, Boston Garden, Staples Center. IT'S NAMED AFTER AN OFFICE SUPPLY STORE!!! I think I just channeled my inner Creth. !!!!!!!!!!!!! If the Mavs played in Office Depot Center, we'd feel very NBDLy. Although...the ODC would be pretty cool. Anywho, I've seen a game there (Mavs won by 35 -- hoody hoo); and I must admit there still is the mystique. The ghosts of Jerry West and the Showtime Lakers loom. But it's Staples! It's weird. Jazz lost tonight too, so maybe we can make it up to 7.
