I might have found the most 'bawful NBA-related Christmas gift of all. A site called HumorousT-shirts, which specializes in "funny t-shirts with jokes, quotes and slogans," provides a category called Basketball Quotes. For a mere $16.99 (plus S&H), you can have one of their pre-selected quotes emblazoned on a cheap white or gray t-shirt. (Note that the gray t-shirt costs an extra $3 for some reason. Possibly because it deflects cosmic rays.)
Warning: Actual t-shirt will not look this cool.
Here's how HumorousT-shirts.com describes this very special offering:
For me, though, the real hook was the quote at the bottom of the page, under the heading "Hear what the athletes are saying about our t-shirt with basketball quotes."
Here's how HumorousT-shirts.com describes this very special offering:
"Basketball quotes on t-shirts will make your obnoxiously tall friends burst out in laughter. The basketball quotes on these tees are from the most famous names in the game. So, show a little respect and buy a few funny t-shirts with famous basketball quotes on them and then show yourself off to the whole gang."You know, I've been looking for something that would bring some LOLs into the life of my obnoxiously tall friends. All none of them. Oh, and those "most famous names in the game" include such basketball immortals as Nik Posa ("A tough day at the office is even tougher when your OFFICE contains spectator seating."), Dan Frisby ("Basketball is like photography, if you don't focus, all you have is the negative."), Shannon Fish ("If you are going to take it to the bank, then you better cash it in.") and the mysterious Author Unknown ("My responsibility is getting all my players playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back."
For me, though, the real hook was the quote at the bottom of the page, under the heading "Hear what the athletes are saying about our t-shirt with basketball quotes."
"Yo, dude, these represent the finest basketball quotes from the biggest names in the history of the game. Do some respecting and buy some t-shirts with these great basketball quotes on them. Don't be a fool and act real cool, when you're not. Only these funny basketball quotes on these t-shirts will make you halfway cool. The other half you have to do on your own." - Larry BirdUh huh. If Larry Bird really said that, I'll use my 1986 World Champion Boston Celtics replica banner as a table cloth. Oops. I do that already. Never mind.

And then he'd throw a chair at them for missing a call and choke the ones who didn't get back on defense.
- CJ Miles for Utah, in trying to become a true lollipop, was a +4 in a whopping 6:28 of playing time - as a starter! - and while +/- is not considered for SD numbers, he was -12, truly making him a Minus Man. (6 players for the Jazz - FOUR from the bench had double digit positive +/- numbers tonight.) I guess his sweet, sweet negative lacktivity was overshadowed by his team's depth. This year's salary for him is $3,700,000 or $45,121.95 a game - so he earned a sugary $11,280.49 for every SD marker he racked up!
- In New Orleans, the Spurs' Fabricio Oberto gave the Spurs a 40 second Mario, at the price of $3,500,000 this year/$42,682.93 a game - one of THE most expensive Marios in memory.
And so close to Birdmas, too. Tsk, tsk.
and also the random NO employee who wouldnt let the fans manning the CP3 steal count put it upto 106. he was standing there telling them not to do it. even while the fans were cheering CP3 and there was an announcement about him getting the record.
"Adrian! Adrain! I've never seen so many slogans for funny t-shirts in my life. I mean the funny t-shirts on this site are the most humorous things on the face of the earth. Why I remember going 15 rounds with Apollo one evening and looking out into the crowd seeing my fans wearing a bunch of these funny t-shirts. I was laughing as I was getting my teeth knocked out.
- Pope Benedict XVI"
"G'Day, Mate! I love these funny t-shirts! What can I say, you Bloke. These funny t-shirts be the bomb. I'd take a lift to the bottom floor and check under the bonnet for these wonderfully funny t-shirts. Chip, chip, cheerio old chap, these funny t-shirts must be the best around. So buy a bunch today.
- Rev. Jesse Jackson"
etc.
