Robert Horry is basketball person

We feel somewhat sorry that our 28-part post on the future of each team no longer playing this season overshadowed Father’s Day.

(Between that and liveblogging everything we can, it’s been crazy.)

Therefore, we’re writing a belated Father’s Day post – this is a little tribute we wrote to one of the most dedicated dads in the NBA, Robert Horry.

One day Robert Horry saw me and my best friend, Stephon Marbleberries, eating popcorn at the movies.
He sat down behind us, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, “Hey, I want to be your new dad. I’m Robert Horry. I am basketball person.”
And I was like, “I got a dad, I’m not tryin’ to hear that, see?”
He was all, “What’s your dad got to do with me?”
And I was like, “I’m not tryin’ to hear that, see?”
Horry was all, “You got a dad?”
And me is all, “I got a dad.”
And Horry up with the, “What’s your dad got to do with me?”
And here I was all, “I simply can’t imagine what I could possibly need two separate fathers for.”
Horry come with, “What’s your dad got to do with me?”
And I’m all, “I’m tryin’ to watch Iron Man and eat popping corn with my best friend Stephon Marbleberries, see?”
Horry’s all, “I’m out! Peace!”

As you can see, it was a fun day at the movies, but we missed the part of Iron Man with the man in the metal suit in it. We’re going to see “Green Monster Who Punches Things” tomorrow – hopefully Robert has found another son, and we can watch it in peace.

Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as you may have heard, is tonight. TrueHoop wonders if the NBA has the alleged company men on the job.

That’s an understatement!

We’re picking the Lakers, because there’s just no way the universe would not allow a Game 7 between the Celtics and Lakers. PLus, no matter how many times he says otherwise, Kobe is due to go off for 50 at least once, isn’t he?
