Larry Brown is tan
Published by The Cavalier November 17th, 2005 in Coaches, New York Knicks, Tights
We watched the Lakers beat the Knicks last night on ESPN. After the tights confirmation (check), making sure Kwame still sucks (check), and the Jim Gray celeb interviews (checkcheckcheck), we noticed one thing: Larry Brown’s fabulously deep tan. We’d love to link to another report on this, but for some reason we’re the only people on the internet who care. (That top picture is a non-tan Larry from May.)
What to do in such a situation? Go to the source, of course. After all, we’re official hardcore citizen journalists now. We called the Knicks, and had to wind our way through the ticket office to get Media Relations, but we’ll transcribe from there, word-for-word:
[As soon as we get some other things set, we will figure out how to post the recording, etc.]
YAYsports: Hi, is Larry Brown there please?
New York Knicks: Is he here?
YAY: I’m calling from YAYsports.
NYK: He’s…you can’t just talk to him. He’s not even here - they’re on a road trip.
YAY: I’m calling from YAYsports.
NYK: Is that - what is that?
YAY: When is he getting back?
NYK: What is it you want? Why don’t you tell me that?
YAY: Well, I guess we really want to know why Larry is so tan this year.
NYK: …
YAY: He’s really tan. It’s like really a deep tan.
NYK: Who are you again?
YAYsports: Is it tanning cream?
NYK: I…don’t know.
YAY: It looks like it to me. My girlfriend uses that crap and it gets all over her sink.
NYK: Is this a prank or something?
YAY: My girlfriend is hot. She’s an actress.
NYK: Is she famous?
YAYsports: No. Why, are you?
NYK: No.
YAY: Can I get an interview with Larry so I can ask him about this tan business myself? That’s the only question I’ll ask him - it won’t take long.
NYK: I can check. Who are you again?
YAY: YAYsports. Have him call me, though. I don’t want to use my minutes.
NYK: …
YAY: I’m a citizen journalist.
NYK: A citizen journalist?
YAY: I don’t know what it is either.
With that, we got bored and hung up. We’ll try again when Larry is in town and perhaps try not to be so hilariously aloof as to arouse suspicion.
Was it a male or female on the phone. No one here remembers this conversation ever happening. Neither the Media Relations or PR people
He does wear patchouli. You know that crap that dirty hippies throw on after finishing up a 12-man drum circle jam led by a guy named Glen? Larry was wearing it during the playoffs last year.
