Friday Morning Dump

A quick daily look at last night's highs and lows.

Hot Shit: Aaron Brooks, Cowboys
.533 - 1.000 - 5 - 25 - 2 - 7 - 2 - 0

Loose Stool: Mario Chalmers, Power Bottom & Jelly
.500 - .500 - 0 - 7 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 0

Shart: Carl Landry, Corn Rows 'n tats
.800 - 1.000 - 0 - 22 - 9 - 1 - 2 - 3

I struggled here; Landry's good now, so maybe it's not that surprising.  And maybe Aaron Brooks should be the surprising shart and and Landry the hot shit.  I don't know.  Discuss amongst yourselves in the comment section.

Scottie Pippen...

...is an OG Black Prezodent.

(Patrick Ewing is not. But oddly, enough, Patrick Chewing may just be.)

The Real NBA

I wanna talk to Sampson!




There are so many awesome things about this video I don't even know where to begin. For example:
-the actual mid-80s ads you see a few minutes in
-Sampson cursing on national television
-the call on the play? "Punching foul." That's honestly what the referee says
-the difference between the way an incident like this would be commentated today and the way it was then
-Bill Walton mixing it up
and a glass of wine with dinner. Amazing.

Oh, Memphis

The Grizzlies have some uniforms that look like this:

Honestly, I think they're one of the best-, if not the best-looking unis in the Association.

So why, oh why, were they wearing these tonight?

Who is creating the demand for shiny uniforms? Who has decided that nothing says basketball style like lamé? I just don't get it.

Easy, Googs. Easy.

Pre-Season Prez

We're just a few days away from the Season Opener (and our draft) and I was going through the depth charts, identifying dudes I'm psyched about drafting this year. I'm not going to publish that list (well, maybe after the draft), but I'm willing to admit that one of the guys I was on the fence about was Andray Blatche. I decided to do a little research, and was reminded of the time that Blatche was arrested for trying to pick up a hooker who was actually an undercover cop. And of the fact that he didn't have to do any time or anything, he just had to go to a "day-long seminar for men who solicited prostitutes." The arrest is old news, I know, but I'm really curious about what gets taught at that class. What can they possibly say to them all day other than "Don't"?

Also: Heatedness between Lamar and the Birdman tonight. In pre-season! I like it.
