The following screen shot was sent in by Ryan M, who said: "Wally Szczerbiak. Looking like a P.I.M.P. If pimps were gay." I'm sorry, Ryan, but I have to completely disagree with you on this one, since that's a totally unfair insult to pimps and gay men everywhere. I can only hope that Wally has a good excuse for that ensemble, like maybe he suffered a near-fatal head would immediately before dressing himself with clothes he found in the drop-box outside a nearby homeless shelter. Otherwise, well, I'm sending his name to the
Stacy and Clinton...

THE Mario West leading all Mario's with 14 this season, followed by up-and-comer Tarence Kinsey with 8. Hassan Adams and Sun Yue lurk closeby with 4 a piece. link.
It's hard to find trillionaires and suck differentialists with only 4 search terms, But Jarvis Hayes's 16 minute +11 suck might be the highest of the season thus far. From the same list, Trenton Hassell's 10 trillion looks to be the highest as well. You better believe I'm e-mailing basketball-reference to get them to expand the player game finder to 9 search terms.
Jake Voskuhl shows up unsuprisingly too, with +4 in 11 minutes (3 fouls, 1 brick).
Shockingly, Yakhouba Diawara's longest anti-appearance is 38th on that list, low for someone who has been a lacktion superstar this season.
Fair point but he was not in the midwest. He was in Portland yesterday where it is 50 degrees and sunny. He looks like a gay eskimo. End of story.

reason I bring this up? It's becoming obvious that for us lacktion enthusiasts, "Mario" is starting to pass the one-name litmus test like never before.
unless he's not wearing pants.
donno if anyone saw this slamdumb comment... but personally... I'm a big fan of the "Butt Dunk"
I dropped him on the 19th. Due to the fact that my roster wouldn't change until the 20th, I knew he was going to give me a "contract year phenomenon" type of game to try to trick me with buyer's remorse (or, more accurately, "dropper's remorse," I guess).
How did he do against the Bucks on the 19th? Hmm... 24 and 15, with 2 blocks and 2 steals... what?! (I expected it.)
The real question is on the 21st: 10 and 8 with 1 block and 1 assist. Not earth-shattering; but, still, better than most of what he gave me.
As far as I'm concerned, the GO Watch is on. Will he perform against two of the worst teams in the league (Iz & Clips)? Or, will he revert to his old ways?
I, for one, can't wait to find out.
Here's how you can make your blog the best source for Bullsh*t in the history of this or any other western civilization: pay more attention to Scottie Pippen than Michael Jordan.
(Pippen is the one and only reason there will never be another Mike. Will there ever be another player so good; and, yet, so willing to be the sidekick?)
You could also make semi-obscure music references, like, "Noah, Thomas and Gooden are the New Art Ensemble of Chicago."
UPDATE: Holy crap... from the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Wikipedia page, "These characteristics combine to make the ensemble's performances as much a visual spectacle as an aural one..." That actually does kinda describe the Bulls' front court.
And, finally, you should openly pine for the 2010 return of Chicago's wayward son, Dwyane Wade (and, while you're at it, try to fill the entire roster with more guards).
That's never stopped me before, though, so here it is: Do we draft an official Basketbawful All-Lacktion team at the All-Star break as a sort of "anti-All-Stars"?

Now, I suggested to Bawful that we get the All-Lacktion competition simmed on a video game and then put the footage of the pain up on Youtube, I don't have said video game necessary for such action though, at least not yet. (I do wonder how much time the folks at EA or any of the other sports video game companies actually take to rate the Mario Wests and Jake Voskuhls of the world...)
Not that Pippen wasn't something. He just wasn't the reason.
I think the site is telling me something - sissidge. Is Pippen a sissidge? Discuss.
