(We really didn’t want to make his hair pink, but we’re in a hurry and were having some Photoshop troubles this morning. We were going for an aqua/turquoise thing, in order to represent “fear” and/or “genuinosity”.)
The 07-08 NBA schedule is due to be released soon, and word on the street is that the not-so-classic Shaq-Kobe game is off the X-Mas day agenda, due to be replaced with the 1st Annual LeBron James-Dwyane Wade Classic.
The game will be held in Cleveland, which means Northeast Ohio is finally due to be recognized as the center of the universe.
After three years, the NBA and ABC wisely concluded the novelty has worn off Shaq vs. Kobe/Heat vs. Lakers on Christmas. Instead, word is the NBA will have the Heat play in Cleveland on Christmas, creating a Dwyane Wade vs. LeBron James matchup.
Of course, talk of Christmas and presents and stockings and scoring duels is all well and good, but it covers up the true issue of the day – David Stern’s glum press conference lasterday.
We tore ourself away from Harry Potter and watched most of it, and it’s hard to remember ever seeing the Commissioner looking quite so powerless and beaten. It was disturbing, to say the least.
Between that and the limited amount of footage they had of Tim Donaynaynay arguing with a Memphis-era Bonzi Wells, the whole thing was depressing. Stern really couldn’t say much other than essentially, “We been had and we’re gonna try to fix it.”
As for Mr. Donnosheen, he’s still due to turn himself in this week, and will probably sell out anyone else involved for his own benefit. (Again, based on the limited footage they had of him, he looks like a pathetic guy. Almost like a weasel, but in human form.)
Hopefully no other refs are involved, but that becomes hard to believe, as well. It’s like when someone gets busted for drugs – like they’re the only one and they just happened to get caught?
That’s the shame of the whole thing, and of course this just echoes what’s been said elsewhere – nobody can be trusted.
No calls, no refs, no ticket-takers, no beer vendors – not even your mom and dad. For those of you kids reading – your mom and dad are trying to “fix” your life. When they tell you you should be a doctor or lawyer or some other successful thing, it’s only because the mob is paying them to do so.

That would explain why I became a mobster
what are the odds that we’ll have a healthy/energized/in-shape lebron, dwayne, and shaq on the court?
then again, maybe now isn’t the best time to place odds in NBA games…
man it feels good to be a gangsta…
Any chance that Tim Donaynaynay will make a cameo in WSM?
any chance Martin Lawrence will play the role of “Donaynaynay” in the madefortv movie?
ok, bad “Martin” reference… I will go back in my hole.
What happened with Shaq’s TV show? Did he ate the kids in the end?
No way, Shaq is shaping those kids up. The series finale is next Tuesday. Come back on Friday, there might be an update….
well, if it was AFTER the end and the kids were eaten, then I would say that Shaq ate them.
but since it’s before the end of the show, I would phrase my question like “Does Shaq EAT the kids?”
but that’s just me.
Excuse my english… I’m depressed now, thanks a lot!
Muchas gracias, se le agradece el detalle
[b]Damn[/b] it feels good to be a gangsta.
Won’t Stern just have to change this game when LeBron leaves Cleveland to get some exposure?
it is humorous that everyone thinks that Cleveland is some hotspot now that LeBron is there.
he will look good in the blue and orange!
Since when did “everyone” begin thinking Cleveland is a “hotspot”?
Since Boney’s Pistons got beat.
I wish they were my Pistons, then I’d be a millionaire.
Cav,
In the end Harry Potter is found guilty of throwing a game of quidish (however you spell it). Just thought I would let you know.
Good one Boney.
