(Reason #241 we don’t understand Europe: this is picture of Germany Head Coach Adolph De La Heichenbein celebrating winning some European tournament with his daughter.
Now, we know we have a history of being somewhat protective of our sister, and in that spirit, let’s just say that if our dad ever tried to look at and/or embrace our sister in this fashion, there would be some sort of family schism happening pretty quickly.)
Perhaps that should say “LeBron James loves Club Cadet”, because surely the tractor manufacturer and LBJ endorsement holder is the one who has pressed him into finally relenting – Cleveland’s favorite son will indeed play on the Olympic qualifier this summer in…
Oh. Maybe it should say “LeBron James loves Las Vegas”. That might make more sense.
Whatever. The important thing is the lad is gonna play, which means that much less time to be in the gym working exclusively on posting up and/or a mid-range* pull-up. Unfortunate.
“I’m going to play,” James told The Associated Press. “I’ve had enough time off, and knowing my body more than anybody, I’m ready to play. I don’t know how much I’m going to play or how extensively, but I’ll be ready.”
“It was a long and tough year. But for me, if I make a commitment, I want to keep it. I’m a loyal guy. I committed to three years and I’m going to hold up my end of the bargain.”
He left off the silent “and then…NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, AGAIN,” at the end of that sentence, but the intent is clear.
Questions remain, however. Questions such as, “Will LeBron’s original Coach Mike get jealous of his other Coach Mike, because that Coach Mike knows how to make the people on the court-thing do the things like the moving around and the picks and the passing?”
Or what about “Will LeBron’s original Ira Newble get jealous of his secret Ira Newble from Brazil that he plays cards with at every international tournament? The one from Brazil?”
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, “Does anyone care about Team USA when KG is on the block and John Hollinger has created the most spectacularly complex and confusing system for rating college players ever? One that’s so advanced that we can’t even conceive of how one reads it, let alone invents it?”
* We typo’d that as “mid-rage” pull-up, which is an entirely different thing, and much more entertaining. In fact, we’re not sure any player in the history of the NBA actually has used the mid-rage pull-up jump shot. Any ideas? Maybe Kenyon Martin worked on it at some point?

you’ve seen the commercials, you know they’re holding them hostage.
Maybe Kenyon Martin worked on it at some point?
and then promptly broke his leg in 5 places.
Alonzo Mourning has definitely used the mid-rage j.
In fact, I think ALL of his jumpshots are mid-rage pull-ups.
That girl at thebdp.com looks nothing like your sister (in case Boney was wondering)
Dirk Bauermanns Tochter ist geil.
Und die amerikanisches Roundie über alles!
The Cavalier’s Sister is definitely attractive. I will say no more, because the Cavalier has enough contact on me by now to hunt my mischievous self down, ha. (quickly sends Myspace friend request to TCS, waits for acceptance to send date request
)
ya… I was hoping for some excuses like ‘long season’, ‘tired’, ‘recovering from various small injuries’ and possibly ‘newborn son’ to come into play. I was looking forward to a summer of personal trainers, jump shots, free throws and post practice.
And now this means I have to watch all the Team USA games (rather than just reading box scores and such).
BDP – the cavalier’s sister is of no importance to me.
I can, however, let you know when my balls aren’t sweaty, so you can come and continue to sweat them for me.
Less sister talk, more creepy German person talk please.
LeBron can say that he’s going to ‘tryout’ for the team, but he still has to make it. Just because he commits to it doesn’t mean he’s going to make the team. I’m sure everyone has read the ‘rumors’ about how he would have been the first cut last year because of his attitude.
perhaps Team USA should invite Boobie Gibson too since he’s best at raining threes!
I use the mid-rage jumper quite often. As a matter of fact, it usually happens after I miss 50 or so shots in row and end up just heaving the ball at the backboard. Not saying it goes in or anything.
The mid-rage jumper is a good name for that jumper where the shooter then tries to face slap his defender with his follow-through. Al la Kobe, LeBron, Horry, etc.
Boney’s sweaty balls is not a good topic of discussion.
I agree! Especially since it’s 90 degrees and 100% humidity here right now…
just imagine the ball butter I’m churning right now…
Ha, sorry, no more TCS talk. So, um, how about those creepy Germans?
Und die Schwester des Kavaliers ist auch geil. Sehr geil.
Stephen Jackson has to be acknowledged as one of the masters of the mid-rage J. Actually, like JT said about Zo, I think nearly everyone of his shots is mid-rage. Don’t get me wrong, I love the dude (and there’s no other NBA player I’d rather have on MY side during a fight), but other Warriors just shoot crazy 3s; S-Jax hurls bolts of rage.
Oh, and screw Coach K and Team USA. I’m rooting for Britain (Deng, Gordon, random Nigerian kids, Azubuike) and France (Parker, Batum, Pietrus, Turiaf, etc.).
HA! I forgot about S-Jax. He faSHO uses the mid-rage.
I’ll root for Team USA if Brad Miller doesn’t make the fucking team. I mean, seriously, we took Brad Miller. No wonder Gilbert was pissed.
