I stole a word and I liked it. By the way, this says something for our humanity that the first time I heard that song (“I Kissed A Girl”) I thought it was retarded. Mainly because I thought it was one of those emo guy groups that have popped up lately. Then I find out its a girl and I love it. As always, yay lesbian BOO emotional.
- Melo is going to the Olympics. Anyone else find it odd that he’s the first announced on the team? Sure he was the best offensive player last summer bar none. Sure he was scary good and it led me to think he would be a monster this year (he wasn’t). I don’t know it just doesn’t really seem like this would be the first guy to announce. He’s not really a star like that, I would have just announced LeBron. Especially when a majority of the country will have a conversation about him that ends with ‘Didn’t he pulled over for a DUI and then crap the bed in the playoffs again?’ I made up half of that. Also, Kobe will play, not for gold but to repair his legacy and show his “personality” again. Can’t wait for the behind the scenes footage of Kobe laughing and everyone calling him a great guy.
- Shouldn’t we have called Kobe out after his fake laugh reaction to the Inside the NBA parody of his commercial. Or his horrible ‘hey guys come accept this award with me’ when he got the MVP at Staples.
- “Nothing brewing” between Shawn Livingston’s agent and the Clippers. Story is the Clips have until June 30th to offer Livingston a minimum offer of $5.8 million dollars or else he becomes an unrestricted free agent. It might as well be a proclamation of him being an unrestricted free agent, because I don’t know anyone who is paying that much money for a basketball player with one knee. Especially not one who was fragile to begin with. And especially not the penny-pinching Clips. I should probably feel a little bit more remorse for him right? But then again he made me cringe from watching the clip of the injury and he made me never want to do a layup again. I seriously did two foot layups for a week.
- This isn’t a particular news item per say….it just makes me laugh. The first question asked is “Who do you see being next season’s Pau Gasol, the player moved for picks and cap room?” Thank you Arjun from San Diego…timeout that’s your real name. That has to be a made up question now. Anyways, the question is funny to me on a few levels. First off….Pau wasn’t moved for any specific reason. That would require Memphis to have had a thinking process and we all know that trade had no thought behind it. Chris Wallace must feel like an 18 year old girl on a Saturday morning reading her sent text messages. Second , I just keep imagining different endings to the question like “Who do you see being next season’s Pau Gasol, the player who Kobe secretly wants to kill” or “Who do you see being next season’s Pau Gasol, the player who has uncomfortable sensual celebrations with another man?” or “Who do you see being next season’s Pau Gasol, the player who is 7 feet but plays like he’s 5’5?” I could literally have gone on for days.
- Zach Randolph should really stop partying in Portland. It seems like nothing good ever comes of it and he should know that they will report anything negative on him in this town. Amazing that he lasted that long in NYC but when he comes back to the Rose City (notorious for it’s crazy party scene NOT) he always causes problems. Somebody call his momma.
- How an All-NBA Ugly Team doesn’t have Tyrone Hill at the head of the class is just kidding itself. Plus no mention of Shelden freakin Williams or Charlie Villanueva. No Alaa Abdelnaby? No Bryant Reeves? No Robert Swift? No Cherokee Parks? And yes I know it’s easier to add to a list than make one up yourself but still!
- Also as much as I’ve piled on Kobe, Paul Pierce…please stop with the uber-dramatic interviews. Let’s just try and give a normal one for once.
