Kwame Brown is self-aware

by The Cavalier on March 2, 2007 · 10 comments

We’ve said a lot of things about Kwame Brown over the year(s). Some good, some not as good. (Mostly the second one.)

Of course, the only important thing we’ve ever said about him is in regard to birthday cake throwing. (And we’re not done on that front. Not close to done.)

Today may be an opportune time to move back to the basketball side of the Kwame equation, though – he’s due to return to the Laker lineup tonight against the Kings.

“I’m out of sync a little bit. They put in some new plays and new defensive stuff. I wasn’t around for that, so hopefully they can catch me up tomorrow. I’m just trying to focus in on the stuff that I can do, not the stuff that I can’t.” He also offered a warning. “If you thought I couldn’t catch before, wait until tomorrow.”

If you’re not in on the joke, Kwame is a little infamous for his questionable hands.

This dig at himself changes many a thing in our ongoing analysis of the Kwame Brown psyche, and it comes back to the cake.

Perhaps it was an all an accident? Is that why he hasn’t talked about it? He thought it would just bring up discussion of the bad hands, ie “can’t hold ball = can’t hold cake?”
…
…
Stop. This isn’t working. There’s only one way to determine the whole dynamic behind the cake-throwing scenario in full, and that’s to see it.

We know we sad we wouldn’t mention it again, but this is the opportune tie to say to all of our fellow bloggers and or merchandisers out there – this is your absolute last chance to get your shirt, hat, etc into Who Shot Mamba?.

Last, last, last, last chance. Email us at yaysports@gmail.com to get the info on where to send and to see if we can place your stuff. The endgame is in sight – last chance.

(btw we had an email the other day wherein someone asked why it’s taking so long to make a 10 minute short. Ummm…who said this is a short? WSM? is over 2 hours long. It’s a feature film, pee-oh-pulls.)

2 The Cavalier March 2, 2007 at 12:39 pm: I’d like to have a cake smashing contest with Kwame to see who can smash the most birthday cakes over Alex Martinez’s head in a minute.
3 becky March 2, 2007 at 12:49 pm: I’d like to have a cake EATING contest.
Funfetti w/ no bad pun icing, please.
4 Fios March 2, 2007 at 12:51 pm: Larry Hughes could emcee and explain that the cake is not actually being wasted but, rather, by smashing it on Martinez, you two are creating cake eating opportunities for others … it’s like charity but with laughter and no actual benefit
5 mcbias March 2, 2007 at 1:52 pm: Good to hear that work on WSM? is progressing. I was about to start my own rival movie called “Who Shot Man-boobs?” to investigate who keeps taking pictures of Phil Mickleson, John Daly, and Bill Parcells.

7 The Cavalier March 2, 2007 at 6:48 pm: ZAKK email me and I’ll give you the official update.
8 Johnny Kilbane, esq. March 2, 2007 at 7:17 pm: Needless to say, your faithful attorney-at-law is very pleased with this post.

Now if you’d just follow my legal advice and send a Freedom of Information Act request for the Police Department’s incident report regarding the cake, and the smashing thereof, I would die a happy man.
9 The Frankman March 2, 2007 at 10:46 pm: I find this interesting that Jerome “Big Snacks” James has not been brought in for questioning in said cake heist mentioned above.
