The Best Links In All the World, In All the NBA, In All the Universe... 5 February 2009

by Basketball John on Feb 5, 2009 3:44 PM MST in NBA - News, Chatter, & Links

Some mini links to carry you over to the game tonight.

Hot Rod, the Harry Caray of the NBA. Mispronunciations & alcohol Both still beloved.
He didn't bleach his hair on purpose. He was standing out in the sun all freakin' summer.
If I had money to buy Jazz gear, this is what it would be like.
Ball Don't Lie 2 on 2 All-Star Tourney. Looks like it will be D-Will & Boozer v. the rest of the league. Get out and vote. Possible lineups.

The best part is that it seems Hot Rod doesn’t even like the Jazz. He’s mostly just disappointed by them.

Join the club Hot Rod. :(

Grammar is not a time of waste

i didn't agree with that part

imo, hot rod likes the jazz as much as ever, he just doesn’t like the effort or losing at times.

as for the 2-on-2 tourney

i’d like to see dwill and ak vs. rest of league.

imagine ak throwing crazy passes to dwill in the paint for driving dunks and blocking shots on the other end…

except

remember how awful AK can be on his spastic drives to the basket? I dunno, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in a 2-on-2 setting.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

you know

the more I think about it the more I like it. Better defensively. Also have to consider Memo, since his range could destroy against other bigs not used to venturing outside.

But it’s hard to argue with your straight-up D-Will-to-Booz (or Millsap) pick and roll. Could be lethal in the two-man game. Defensively, though…. yikes.

dwill + ak definitely has the excitement factor

versus the other possibilities, all of which have their pros and cons.

since it’s all star wkd, i think excitement wins.

Also

I was going to buy the black D-Will kicks as a Christmas present to myself but didn’t end up doing it for whatever reason. Now I have shoe lust again. Thanks for that.
