Basketbawful reader Evon, a denizen of Portland, received a jolt of stunnedocity when he discovered the following advertisement in his Sunday paper.


I think I speak for everyone who follows the NBA when I say that I too am excited to see how Dan's upcoming season goes with his "new eyes." Although eight-year veterans who are six feet small and have a career average of 5.8 PPG don't usually have breakout years, even if their "new eyes" shoot laser beams.

On the one hand, it seems like a waste to use an unknown journeyman to advertise your eye correction business, but it's actually sort of a stroke of brilliance. Instead of spending their entire marketing budget on, say, Greg Oden, the good people at Clearly Lasik can spend $50 on Dan's endorsement and the rest of their cash on inventing those cool laser-blasting eyes I was talking about. One day, in the not-to-distant future, I may be able to have 20/20 vision and fight crime.

(I'm kidding of course. I would use my amazing ocular powers for evil.)
